COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Dec. 10.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of
points to an advance of 2 points, the
decline being in sympathy with dis
appointing cables which induced liqui-
dation by room longs. Almost i'm
mediately, however, the market was
rallied by a renewal of bull support
and reports that Northern spinners have
been buying very freely recently and
with outside buying orders, the mar
ket was advanced until near the end
of the first twenty minutes prices were
net 4 to points higher. The advance
was the signal for considerable bear
pressure, and as the market started
downward rumors were circulated that
a strong bear clique had been formed
on the theory that the continued bull
movement is offsetting in the popular
nand the governments small crop
estimate, while it was also reported
that demand in the Southern spot mar
kets were falling off. Interior receipts
also were running full, although the
port movement shows a subsiding ten
dency, and the accumulation of stocks
at interior towns is believed to point
to a good increase in the weeks visible
supply figures. Notwithstanding these
factors, the market showed great stub
bornness under pressure. At one time,
just before midday, IL was at de-
cline of 9@15 points on the active
months, but was rallied again, and in
the early afternoon ruled rather firm
but continued very irregular.
The close was steady, with July 1
point higher, but the other months
were unchanged to 10 points lower.
Sales estimated at 100000 bales. Exports
were full. Estimates for to-morrow's
leading points were about a stand off,
and the Southern spot markets easier,
at unchanged prices to a decline of
Nc.
Receipts at the ports to-day, 47,422
bales, against AZ 1863 last week and 35,-
743 last year. For the week, $50, 900
bales, against 37S,S5O last week, and
PSI, 7S4 last year. To-day's receipts at
New Orleans were TO- S7 bales, against
II ,939 bales last year, and at Houston
12,777 bales, against 6,447 last year.
