Daily Cotton Letter q

Daily Cotton Letter from New York.
New York. Dec. 23.-While operators
on this side were closely watching the
holders of cotton in the interior for
signs of weakening, liquidation of an
other sort came suddenly from an
opposite quarter of the globe and dealt
Liverpool heavy blow. 1t seems that
Egyptian and Syrian spectators had
caught heavily long when the bureau
came out and after holding on for a
long time in the hope of a perma-
nent rally, finally threw up the sponge,
and dropped their lead. The result
is seen I'm decline of over 1ac in all
markets and a new low level of prices
has been established everywhere. The
near options in Liverpool are below 4d,
while December here was sold within
~ points of &c. Spots throughout the
South average about &c lower than a
week ago without any recovery and
with but little demand. OF course II
is only natural that business should
be black Immediately in advance of
holidays, but the very small rally In
the face of heavy covering by shorts
to take down profits for Christmas is
considered evidence of inherent weak
ness, and the fear is expressed that
when the market reopens on Tuesday
the old bears VIII be found ready to
take the short side again with vigor
II talk goes for anything, this must
be their design for they openly pro-
claim 6h i'm short while. Evidently
they reckon very bearish ginners
report. and some estimates run as
high as 11,750,00O bales for the amount
ginned to Dec. 10.

New York, Dec. 23.-The market has
ruled quiet as might be expected in
view of the approaching holidays. Lead
ing bear operators here so far during
the session show a disposition to add
to their lines for over Christmas, while
the demand has been more or less
scattering, representing covering by
shorts and a little buying for account
of spot interests. The opening was
not as good as due on the cables, but
steady, at an advance of to 5 points.
Following the call, prices worked up

ontinental offerings for the account
# large professional interests, prices
Jagged off around midday to about

lfter which fluctuations were narrow

here is a little better demand to fill
md of December clearances, and 1t is
lutte possible that exports between
christmas and New Years will be
heavy.
We are free to confess that we can
not see much good in the market. The
oearishness of speculative sentiment

desire of consumers to buy as cheaply

next planting season next spring. make

NEW YORK BEARS
ADDING TO LINES

New York. Dec. 23-The cotton mar.
ket ruled narrow and irregular. will
final prices showing little change
There was some covering by shorts
for over the holidays, and some buy
ing by spot people. On the other hanc
certain bear interests appeared, add
ing moderately to the lines, leading to
the deduction that they expected a
bearish ginners' report next Wednes-
day, or one day after the market re-
opens following the Christmas holt
days.
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance of 2Q5 points in response to
firmer cables.
Following the call prices worked up
to net advance of about 6MS points
on covering and reports of a little bet
ter spot demand in the South, but at
the advance leading professionals sold
more aggressively and prices in the
middle session fuctuated between last
nights closing and a net decline of
to 2 points. Toward the close the
market was shade more active, with
scalping shorts covering and final quo,
tations were steady, unchanged to 8
points higher.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.

Sny when Turn Comes Bears win
BE Caught at Bottom.
New York. Dec. 23.-There is evil
IDENTIFY a contest of some kind going
on in the present market. For the first
time since the downward movement
the bears are meeting with something
like persistent resistance This start
ed from the buying by the continent
and has been continued through pur-
chases by the larger spot interests in
the country and enough cotton has
been taken from the market to start
reactions that were rather uncomfort-
able to shorts. In order to exert
pressure very large lines of cotton
have come on the market and last
evening, just when the market was
under way to close considerably
higher, one of the largest operators of
the bear party came in the pit in
person and sold 5000 bales of March
in order to drive prices lower. The
contest was resumed this morning,
and while prices have not advanced to
any extent the market itself shows a
different phase from any presented in
some weeks. Prices have declined to
a point where holders of cotton in the
South absolutely refuse to consider
offers. AS a result the movement
this week promises to be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 bales. as compared
with Az. 900 last year. There are very
large commitments for January de-
livery and If the grower of cotton in
the South persists in this refusal to
sell his cotton at a sacrifice, there
may be very interesting develop
ments in another six weeks. While it
is not within the power of any indi-
vidual to say just where the turn in
cotton is to come from, this much
can be said with confidence, the bears
will be short at the bottom and the
turn will be inevitable as was the COL
lapse in January of this year.

DUN's WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York, Dec. 23.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade to-mor-
row will say:
Demand for holiday goods has ex-
ceeded expectations, but trade in sta
pie merchandise is seasonably quiet.
Business conditions are satisfactory,
however, manufacturing plants pro-
ducing freely, except where insufficient
water supply restricts operations and
a large volume of option trading was
recorded for the week at the leading
commodity exchanges. Dispatches
from the leading cities are encourage
ing.
Traffic returns continue favorable,
railway earnings for December thus
far exceeding last years by rs per
cent. Conditions in the cotton goods
market are calculated to induce con-
servatism, and trading is restricted to
immediate requirements. Prices are
fairly well maintained.
Failures this week numbered PSI,
against 2S4 last year.
