cothran 6 Co.'S Market Letter.

The decline in the Liverpool market was in excess of expectations. Egyptian houses and importers were the principal sellers. A very slight improvement took place before the lost and later cables ex- pressed more hopeful views for the fu- ture without, however, assigning any reason beyond the opinion that short covering had been in progress. The loss on options for the day amounted to 3 points and spots declined 14 points on very small sales of 5000 bales. The na- ture of the trading in our market was similar to yesterday; weary longs were unable to find any consolation in imme- diate prospects and disposed of their holdings, to which was added a fair amount of fresh selling on the belief that lower prices were still forthcoming, and the disposal of contracts by the ex- porters' association as covered by pur- chases of spots, shorts accepting profits, furnished the principal buying power. Opening prices were to points under yesterdays closing figures, of which only temporarily was there any evidence of steadiness. We would advise conserv- atism as to selling cotton from the pres ent price. Probably the best bull argu- ment Is the low price, and it's strength will increase as values are subjected to further depreciations.

Loveman s CO.'S Market Letter.

Further decline In market was forced upon holders of spot cotton and future contracts by energetic action on the part of the short contingent in all trading centers of the world today. The depres- sion was not the result of heavy re- ceipts for the movement was compara- lively small, at all ports today which includes 16,0O0 from outports, about 65,OOO last year 70936; since Friday about 155,- 000 compared with 1S1 ,053 Nor was the easier tendency, we might say weakness of market attributed to free offerings of actual cotton from the interior as of ferings frcm the country were practical ly nil. The main cause of the break was due to leaders and followers of the short side becoming intoxicated with success and rushing longs forced weak holders to part with their property. The specu- lative markets are at the mercy of the bear pool in the absence of any demand for spots of moment. and as the prelim- mary report of cotton ginned since Mo- vember A. will not be published until Wednesday, December 2S, at noon it is the intention, ft'is said. of the bear party to crowd longs with object of forcing the long interest whether 1t be in spots or fu- lures, in any market, or at any place, to let go their holdings and thereby weaA- en the market all the more by the over l throwing of such distress cotton.

! ,Y'S OPERATIONS RATHER BEARISH
  Only Slight Rally at Middle of the Session
OPENED AT A DECLINE
Toward the Close There Was Enough Covering to Help Prices Point or Two, But the Net Loss
 Was Considerable.

New York, December 20.-There were continued bearish operations today in the cotton market, and while during the middle of the session a little covering promoted steadiness and a slight rally, the general ruling was weak and unset tied, with trading fairly active.
 The opening was easy at a decline of 5Q10 points in response to easier Liver pool cables, which reported a decline of about 9010 points on futures, and of II points on spot cotton. which seemed to be in decreasing demand Following the call here, the market sold off still further, reaching a net decline of about l1d15 points. At this level, or around 73O for January, covering was attracted on the theory that after q decline of $2 a bale in a couple of days, d reaction was due, and 1t was helped by the announcement that the first installment of the ginners' report, which was expected this week. would not be published until Wednesday, December 2S, and encouraged by talk of a temporary upturn, if nothing else Af- ter working up to about zS9 for January and I.55 for March, or q little over the initial figures, however, the market broke sharply There seemed to be noth- ing in the news to explain the increased offerings which were credited to local bear interests, and as the market worked below the previous slow level stop or ders were caught and January broke to 759, with March selling at z39 and the general list showing q net decline of about 24d25 points. Toward the close there was enough covering to help prices point or two. and the final tone was steady at net loss of 22024 points Sales were estimated at 5OO0OO bales. The de- cline at Liverpool was attributed by pri- vate cables to hedging sales. and Alexan. dria liquidation. There seemed nothing to account for the decline. aside, of course, from the liquidation caused by losses and predictions of a break in the spot markets
 Receipts today 66.567 bales Cat ports), against 69631 last week and 7o.661 last year. For the week 300, ,OOO bales, against S26 405 last week and SO1,S14 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 19S75 bales, against 27.402 last year. and at Houston 14.2I8 bales, against 19,611 last year.

Coffee Market.

New York, December 20.-Spot Rio firm; No. invoice SIS; mild firm; cordova 10@13.
 The market for coffee futures showed greater activity than at any time since the big bull movement of last spring. It opened steady at unchanged prices to a decline of points under moderate liquida- tion, encouraged by rather larger pri- mary receipts and indifferent foreign markets. For time 1t was rather quiet, but around midday became feverishly active and excited with large Wall street houses heavy buyers all along the line, Prices advanced until on the active months they were fully 20 points net higher in spite of large sales for the account of the trade interests, who were liberal buyers on the lower level of a few days ago, and in spite of some sell ing for a reaction attracted by the ad- vance which carried the most popular months very nearly a full cent pound over the low level of a week or two, or three weeks ago. Toward the close the market eased off a little from the best under realizing of a more general char acter based on the lack of animation abroad, but the market was finally steady with January net five points and on all other months ten points higher.
