Dry Goods.

New York, December 21.-The dry
goods market is on a substantial basis
and there is little evidence of a possible
decline. The attitude of sellers is toward
the maintenance Of prices, and there
seems to be little warrant for any recess
sion. owing to the well sold condition
of many mills and the position of manu-
facturers regarding cotton. Jobbers are
doing a very restricted business. and lit
tie interest is likely to be evinced until
after the first of the year.

cothran & Co.'S Market Letter.

Cothran q Co.'S MARKET LeIrcrs
There was another break in the market.
Early the tone steadied, and some began
to buy cotton. But the pressure was con-
tinued and as few had courage to buy
very much cotton or to stay with it, the
support was not very vigorous
May sold up to 1852 early and then broke
twenty points before there was very
much buying. The tone was not as weak
as yesterday but the market showed lit
tie resistance after the break started.
Whenever prices started to advance
there was selling of kind to cause weak
ness. Things are just now as they were
at 16 cents and IT cents in January last,
only with the reverse picture.
There is no way of telling where the
market will halt. All we can say is that
there Is Just SIS much disregard for values
on the part Of those who have control of
the market as was the case last year 1t
needs but little experience with speoula-
tion to tell one that There is no telling
what the end will be, but there will be
q day of reckoning some day and 1t will
be bad for shorts. The trade is now so
demoraliEed that the utmost oare should
be exercised in trades made.
II we have an open break In the morn
ing buy cotton for a turn.
Lovenan & Co.'s Market Letter.
An unexpected good Liverpoo1-4 to s
points decline, and flood of private ca
bles expressing a favorable opinion of the
market at the present level of values,
houses who have been bearfsh hereto
fore, taking favorable view of the sit
uation, were features Of the early morn
ing that consoled longs and made 1t pos
sible for a little reaction to be expert
enoed. Market here opened about Z
points up, which eventually expanded to
a rise of IL points, March selling as high
as TAI, against last nights closing Of 7.2S.
This advance appeared to make shorts all
the more aggressive and they battled
stubbornly until they recovered the lost
ground. Having accomplished their pur-
pose. a successful effort was made to get
longs on the retreat again, and no great
waste of energy was required TO bring
this about. The market was hammered
from all sides, the greatest pressure be-
ing brought to bear at tn for March,
when stop loss orders were dislodged and
March sold off to 720. As has been the
case during the past few days the further
decline, was the result of concerted ac-
ton on the part of shorts as the in
terror still holds firm, which is confirmed
by English cables admitting the south to
be offering but sparingly. particularly
Texas. The easier prices at the ports is
mainly due to selling OF cotton on con-
signments, which In turn helps to lower
the market In the interest of the bear
party.
