LOWEST OF
 DAY AND SEASON Bearish Conditions Are Rehec.- ed in Cotton Market REPORT EXPECTED T0DAY Leading Professionals Seemed to Be Hammerlne the Market All Along
 the Line and Prices Soon
 saeged Off.
REPORT EXPECTED TODAY

New York. December 19-The cotton market reflected bearish conditions on the showing of the forthcoming glnner's re- port. and ruled active as a result of bear pressure and liquidation, with the final prices at lowest level of the day. and season
 The opening was steady at an advance of 165 points in response to rather bet ter cables than looked for The Liverpool market should have been about nnchang- cd to three points lower, but was not unchanged at the hour of the local open ing, while spot cotton was in moderate demand at an advance of four points. The steadying influence of this showing however, was offset by private cables, claiming that in spite of small southern offerings, the undertone was not favor able, and the local market failed to hold the initial gain.
 Leading professionals appeared to be hammering the market all along the line, and shortly after the opening, prices began to sag of. followed by New Or leans and the Liverpool market. Af- ter a decline of some to 10 points, ir- feSulaTlty anu sihah ieUeip's eseiiai31eu for leading points tomorrow, large ex- ports and private reports of strong spot holders attracted some support. But the market again broke in the afternoon and during the balance of the session was generally weak As prices declined some stop orders were caught and the market was finally barely steady at a net loss of 16G21 points, with January quoted at TIA or points below the previous low level. Sales were estimated at 250,00O bales.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today 55, 5,174 bales against 5000 last week and 55. .SeO last year. For the week 300, coo, against 926,905 last week and S0l S14 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans 1S,154 bales against 16715 last year, and at Houston 7l57 against 10,7Sl last year.

cothrsn & Co.'s Market Letter.

The Liverpool market slightly more
 than met expectations, the improvement
 being attributable to light offerings from
 the south at unavoidable figures and a
 good demand from Bombay Sentiment, however, was bearish and the closing was
 easier with Alexandria reported as sell ling. Final quotations showed a loss of points on options, and again of an equal amount of spots, sales 5000 bales, The higher levels observed at our open ing were of short duration, with no ap- parent pressure. prices sagged off. The evident weakness was an fhducement to local bears to offer freely and traders who had recently covered shorts put out fresh lines. The willingness of cotton factors to sell at slight concessions promises to result in larger sales of spots Reports indicate that censldsra- ble cotton is being held by farmers. Knowledge of its existence, as long as
 supplies are adequate, is a bearish fea- ture, which is likely to be augmented by exaggerated estimates of the quantity. The tendency of the market still seems to be towards lower leyele, and sales on advances will probably continue to bring good returns.

Ioveman G Co.'s Market Letter.

At the close of last week traders en- tertained some apprehension lest ginners would not make full report of cotton ginned from November IA to December B, owing to the great drop in the value of the staple since the publishing of the November ginners' report, and on that account steady market was looked for during the current week as receipts were shrinking somewhat and there was some thing of a better demand in evidence for actual cotton, especially at Liverpool
 Tn keeping with such expectations the English market was little better than looked for when American market re- stunned business this morning, New Or leans opening 4 points up with March at I'll, afterwards selling at 772 press dispatch from Washington, however
 stated that ginners were liable to a fine Of s1000 or confinement in federal prison for one' year to either refuse to furnish or to give false information regarding the ginning of cotton. This statement set at rest all doubts as the census de- -partment being able to make correct report of all cotton ginned to December 13, and shorts were not slow in making up this information which mean so much for their cause.

NOR, and was interesting Mr.. Free
man, to the amusement of his audi
ence, recalled a military incident in
which the president of the society fig
ured.
Easily. can we imagine the glow
of pleasant anticipation with which
your president set out upon the
memorable Waycross campaign, as
commander of the cavalry arm of the
army and navy of his sovereign state,
and the sore disappointment that must
have been his when the opposing force
-Messrs. Mitchell and Corbett-by a
detour, passed round his flank into a
sister state and left him patrolling the
fringes of the Okeefeenokee.
And what part has the Irish SOL
der and the Irish sailor had in the
writing of history. Within a stones
throw of us stands an heroic figure
in bronze reared to perpetuate the
memory and commemorate the valor
of an Irish revolutionary soldier. Jas
per is typical of the Irish soldier of
all time. In every report of generous
sacrifice or heroic action: in every
list of casualties in hazardous service,
we find the names of Kelly and Burke
and Shea. So has 1t always been, and
so Will it continue to be so long as
Killarney's lakes mirror in their placid
depths the blue dome of heaven by
day. and by night reflect the glories
of the starry vault above them.
