 New Orleans, December 2l.-Liverpool not being as unfavorable as expected our market opened to S points higher, but shortly after declined 27 to 2s from the top on heavy realizing due to the quiet ness of spots and the continuation of large receipts. Supporting orders, how ever. soon forced an advance of r to 19 points Yet when they were withdrawn a recession of II 10 F points was again quickly established, making the net loss 12 to II points on the day
 The port receipts for the three days aggregate III, ,000 against SSO0O last year. and the large estimated receipts at New Orleans, Galveston and Houston for to- morrow, do not indicate any marked de- crease in the movement. Manchester ca bles say that the violent and inexplicable fluctuations in American cotton during the past week have caused the cloth bus mess to be practically at a standstill, oc- casioning much uneasiness and anxiety. The increased cost of production prevent ed the acceptance of many offers. Sentl- ment in America is very optimistic. and those favorable to the article are conti- dent of much higher prices; so much so, that the statistical features, which are rather bearish, are entirely dsregarded
 The approaching holiday, and some ap- prehension of further complication aris- ing between Russia and Japan, may cause further liquidation. It is apparent though that on all easy periods cotton is quickly absorbed Nevertheless it looks as if the future course of values wil be regulat- ed principally by receipts and the de- mand for spots.

Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York December 2.-The situation has been a trying one for those who are short of cotton. Prices seem destined te much higher level but we may witness good many set backs before the top notch is reached. Before concluding that the buying power has spent it's force, We should wait for the movement during January and if reports are at all trust worthy, we shall witness a remarkable falling off. The bull leaders are showing no signs of giving up. In fact they are buying on all soft spots and new outside long interests are being created gradually. The mill people are beginning to realize that the crop is short and are advancing the price of their goods. A sensational falling off in receipts is possible before long and until this is determined selling must be on very conservative lines. The market did some better at the opening and shorts again were nervous in spite of a rather hesitating display in the Liver pool market. Liquidation by weak hold CTS broke the market before long and sharp break resulted in much of the loss soon being recovered There was final decline of b points in the Liverpool mar ket. Spots were in good request Bulls of the better class here bought heavily at the decline.

 New York, December 2l.-This declining market has been the cause of many ad- vanced theories today. The decline start ed in Liverpool and has been followed up here. The most plausible theory seems to be a general disposition to liquidate on the part of many who have made large profits on the bull side of the market. The bulls who generally support the market are aware of this, and naturally are not loading themselves up with a lot of dumped stuff when they know they can buy the market little cheaper in the next day or two. Some suggest that the war cloud in the east is having it's influ- ence on the market but this is not gener ally credited The bulls are pleased to call it a healthy reaction and a great opportunity to get in. This is not un- reasonable after the marvellous advance the market has had and appears to be according to the expectations of many. Spot cotton neither in Liverpool nor in the south shows any disposition to ease off with futures. The confidence in short crop is not shaken. As long as this is the case the market is a purchase on ev- cry decline
