cothran & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert & Clay.
 New Orleans. December 22.-EVents Tn the market today were sufficiently tur- bulent to satisfy any reasonable desire for excitement. Fluctuations of 90 points per day may be the real thing but IL IS not easy to get accustomed to them ana it is quite safe to say that the trade In in general and brokers in particular would welcome a return to moderate daily price changes. Liverpool had varied experience. prices for deliveries advanced notwithstanding tendency In the opposite direction. Reports about spinners closing for ten days during the holidays period claimed no attention. The initial trading here was characterized by liberal offerings influenced by a diminu- ton In expert demand for spots and continuance of free receipts. Prices dragged somewhat heavily for awhile, but upon the report that large St. Louis cotton commission house had as- signed, the belief spread that large quantity of cotton must be rebought and the demand that ensued from shorts and bulls sent the market climbing in wild fashion until new records were establish ed In such a situation it is useless to attempt to form an opinion on the future. One has a large problem on hand try
 ing to solve the present. The best policy is extraordinary conservatism as the shocks henceforth are to be severe in either direction.

bTOCK MARKET 1 HAS AN IDLE DAY Brokers Did Nothing Greater
 Part of the Day FLOOR TRADERS FOILED Most Vigorous Efforts Could Muster No Success In Lifting Prices and
 There Was Urgent Press
 ure to Sell.

New York, December 22.-Today's stock market was only nominal and the greater part of the day was spent in complete idleness by the brokers. Many members lost hope of any business and betook themselves to out-of-town points In an- ticipation of holiday enjoyments, The most vigorous efforts which the handful of floor traders could muster had no suc- cess in lifting prices and there was no urgent pressure to sell with the conse- quence that prices were inert. A few stocks moved sufficiently to be distin- guished from the general level of semi stagnation, but even In them the move ments were of no consequence. desul- tory speculation was kept up in the stock of New York public utilities but their advances were but freely held. Opera tions in these stocks have been pretty constant ever since the November cleo ton. Talk of large earnings accompa- nied the dealings and in the case of Con- solidated Gas there are suggestions of satisfactory adjustment of claims against the city for gas. There was some pres sure against Rock Island and affiliated securities of kind which developed last week when rumors found acceptance of a pending bond Issue. On the other hand, some of the industrials are inclined to harden on the assumption that money will be available after New Year to the railroads to pursue their equipment pur- chases. The heaviness of the London raw copper market may have caused the slight decline in Amalgamated Copper after an early advance in that stock. United States Steel preferred was the subject of the customary surmises as to dividend possibilities, but fell into pro- found neglect with the rest of the market. Lackawanna reacted from its recent wide advance which was due to talk of dis tribution of surplus. The coalers gener- ally were firm on the contemplation of re- suits of a year of unexampled prosperity as a whole, rather than on the immediate outlook, which is somewhat clouded. The uncertainties of the far eastern war out look, are repressive influence on all the worlds markets, but local sentiment on the subject reflects no acute apprehen- sion. There has been some unostenta- tious bidding up of stocks of a dormant class within the past few days, which is obviously due to the fact that no stick is brought out by the advanced bids made. It does not escape notice that the higher level of prices will cause a mate- rial improvement in the showing of an- nual balance sheets of many of the great financial institutions close surplus in- vestments was deeply depressed, estimat ed on the basis of market quotations ex isting at one time since the last ten state ments. The improved showing thus se- cured is supposed to furnish the motive for some of the advances effected in prices, especially where no severe selling pressure Is met on the advance.
 The bond market was dull and irregular. Total sales par value, $1,T45,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Baxter 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, December 22-When the stock market today is said to have been a purely holiday affair little more is needed to describe it. Dealings were light and confined almost wholly to the pro- fossional element. The tendency of prices was toward a lower level, not because of any unfavorable news developments, but merely as the result of attempts to realize profits for the Christmas holidays. In Londcn sentiment still appeared dis turbed somewhat by apprehensions of a bellicose issue of the present Russian Japan negotiations, but the sales for for egn account were only small balances. The money market was extremely easy and the indications were shadowed on early liberal gain in cash by the banks. Tn only a few instances did the fiuctua- tions of the day cover any considerable ground The selling was credited to the prospects that the stockholders next month might be asked to authorize the immense consolidated and refunding of Rock Island. Railroad bonds were fairly active.

eased off slightly near the close, making the net gain 45 to 50 points on the day
 A rumor was circulated that about 2,0n0.- 900 only would be shown ginned by the next census from the last report issued, and that it was estimated that oniy i per cent would be ginned for the balance Of the season, as compared to 70 per cent last season, indicating a crop of 9.40Oo00 The census, on December ?, reported that 6,Sl5,O00 had been ginned up to November 14, therefore if 100000 more had been ginned in the interior. the report issued in January Is expected to show that S,Sl5,0oO were ginned to the date of compilation, as compared to s,9O5,OO0 last year. It is estimated that this years figures VIII ae 93 per cent of the crop ginned, as eompar- ed to so per cent last year How any iln- portance can be attached to such r H.. nor is ineXplicable because, in the first place, the census bureau officials stats they will issue no more estimates as to the per centage of the crop ginned or left unginned, as they have found by experi- ence that their former estimates or the crop were incorrect and misleading, when promulgated early in the season; there fore, they do not intend giving out the tn- dicated turnout of the crop until next April. Last year, in January, the census stated that the S,905 GOO returned ginned was 90.2 per cent of the crop, and the to- tai yield pointed to 9996000 the actual out-turn was 1O,72S, GOO, or 7S2000 in excess of their figures This is the reason that the census officials intend committing the estimated percentages. Every well post ed cotton man is aware of these facts, yet the outside public accepted this rumor without questioning its correctness and bought heavily upon the same. This however, only proves how rampantly bull ish sentiment is, and shows how eagerly any feature is grasped to enhance values. With such a feeling prevalent, should re- ceipts decrease, or good demand Tor spots spring up, the chances are prices will seek higher level.

LOCAL MARKETS

Cotton scored another rise in the Bir- mingham market yesterday. At the close of business good middling stood at 12Ac Mddling Is 1213c.
 Local stocks and bonds have been very quiet for the past week on account of the approach of the Christmas holidays and no changes in quotations have been noted in some time.
 Morris avenue presents a lively scene these days and dealers are too busy to notice how prices are running. Fruits and staple holiday goods are plentiful while large shipments into this district are noted All lines are holding very steady, while the rush bids fair to equal that of previous years
 In staple groceries lard is up isc and ribs bellies and extras are likewise marked up 1sc.

Caldwell & Wards Cotton Letter.

By Miller & Co.,
 New York, December 22.-The over-holi- day realizing seems to have ended this morning. first Liverpool, which was due to come about 1 to points down, showed strength and opened up 20 to 30 points. New York Tn the early morning still showed evidence of heavy realizing, but soon there was evidence of some buying. The New Orleans bull leaders and New York started simultaneously, and the pub lie, who had just closed out, rushed back into the market with heavy buying or ders, which forced prices up making new high records and IA cents was freely talked in New Orleans. The spot cotton situation was practically unchanged. Though there is slight business, there is no offering and buyers have got to pay the bull price for every pound oi stuff they get Spots in New York are up 30 points, We are very confident Of our position, and feel that the statistical po- sition of the market is even stronger than it was six weeks ago. Purchases made on all soft spots will in time yield hand some profits.

NEW ORLEANS BULLS BUSY

New York December 22.-The cotton market opened firm IS to 20 points high CT, following cables that were better the weather fine, soon sagged back to within 3 or points of yesterdays final, under continued liquidation. At the decline however, leading bull Interests came to the support of the market and during the balance of the forenoon prices ruled steady to firm though the trading was not by any means satisfactory.
 Shortly after midday the market sup ported a net advance of 10 to 20 points and trading was quiet. Then suddenly the list was thrown into wild excitement by heavy buying orders from New Or leans and sharp jump in the market while the local bull leader also began supporting the market aggressively. The advance was accompanied by rumors of leak in the census bureau report which is expected around the first or the year and is expected to show the amount of cotton glnned up to December A. Ac- cording to rumors current on the floor this report would show that some 2,0OO,- coo bales of cotton have been ginned to December 14 and point to a crop of 9500,0 bales. The rumor was that the amount of cotton remaining to be gnned would approximate per cent In this connection letter has been received by a local house from the director of the census stating that no estimate would be made of cotton remaining to be gin- ned. The alleged leak was backed up by very aggressive tactics on the part of the big bull operators, however, and prices were rapidly advanced as they were also in New Orleans.
 The market closed within a point or two of the top and steady at a net ad vance of 45 to 55 points, these prices being new high records for the season. Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
