Futures opened easy, with prices 10
to % points lower; this was quickly
followed by a recovery that carried
prices well above yesterdays closing.
Both longs and shorts expected a break
at the opening. Although the market
was not in the panicky condition of
the last two days, the undertone was
slightly feverish. The most signifi-
cant feature of the morning was the
lack of offerings. Shorts showed lit
tie or no desire to liquidate. The mar
ket had every appearance of being sold
out. With little encouragement,
much fresh buying could have been
brought about, but brokers did not en-
courage new operations with three
days of idleness before them. All
brokers were asking S. bale margin
and many of them advised putting mar
gins at ten on all contracts. The
market was well supported by the
bull leaders and closed very firm at
the highest level of the day, the net
gains being II to % points. The eX-
change will be closed until Monday.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Dec. 1.-The cotton
market opened weak at a decline of
5000 points under further liquidation
and possibly some selling for short ac-
count following cables below expecta-
lions, estimates for heavy receipts and
more talk of war in the Far East.
Shortly afterward on reports that
all January notices had been promptly
taken up by the bull leader, the mar
ket began to do slightly better, as
sisted by moderate bull support from
local sources.
The improvement was very jerky
but generally speaking prices con-
tinued to work upwards until January
reached 12.96c; March, 1890; May,
13.46c and July 13.47c. Trading was
considerably less active on the upturn
and the market frequently sagged off
under room realizing in anticipation
of the new year holidays.
The close was very steady at about
the best of the session, or net l point
lower on January to 10 points higher.
Sales estimated at 100000 bales.

SPIRIT BARREL DISPUTE
AT LAST ADJUSTED.

The dispute between producers and
exporters in the naval stores market,
which has been going on for some time,
relative to the strengthening of the
barrels to prevent leakage in the trans
portation Of spirits has at last been
amcably adjusted. The exporters have
contended that the hoops We're not
large enough, and claimed that on ac-
count of the advanced price of spirits
the producer could well afford to
grant this concession.
The matter was finally settled by the
directors of the Board of Trade at i
special meeting. held recently and was
resolved, that rule 5 of the special
rules governing the avail stores trade be
amended as to the question of steel
hoops for spirit barrels to conform as
follows: viz, head hoops, ia inches
wide by 16 guage, bilge hoops. IL
inches wide. by II guage, and quarter
hoops. IL inches wide, by Is guage."
This action was entirely satisfac-
tory TO both producer and exporters
and the new regulations viii cost the
former in the nelShborhood of cents
a barrel.

BAXTER AND co.'s LETTER.
Think Market Is Waiting for Bull
Speculation ms Previously.

Speculation as Previously.
New York. Dec. 31.-Although the
market has been weakening recently,
this is not owing to any change I'M
the generally strong position of cotton
which is to-day as inviting for bun
speculation as at any previous time.
Much has been made of the fact that
the leading bulls have been taking
profits, but it would be folly to con-
clude that the situation has been weak
ened to the extent that the bull cam
paign is over. No one man controls
the situation. We have witnessed wide
fluctuations, but it is forgotten that the
big declines of late have occurred at
brief intervals, and have, therefore, at
tracted greater attention than if they
had occurred at frequent intervals, and
had been of less magnitude-in other
words, 1c decline in two days has been
attracting greater notice than the same
decline during a period of one or two
weeks. t9a
On the whole, the market has been
holding up well, despite the magnitude
of the rise. Prices to-day went off
sharply at the opening on heavy sales,
Demands for additional margins neces-
STATED heavy selling, but the market
rallied a few points soon after the early
break.
Receipts were moderate at the ports,
interior towns We're light. Final ca
bles showed 7@12 net loss. Liverpool
stock for the week gained $4,000 bales,
and yet the stock to-day is 10000 less
than one year ago. Estimates for to-
morrow: New Orleans, 5000 to 5000
bales. against 4,271 last year; Calves
ton. $4,000 to 1900 bales, against 1856
last year.

Favor Selling Cotton ON Any Good
Bulge.

New York, Dec. 31.-Yesterday's de-
moralization was continued at the OPP
ening of the market this morning,
with an extreme decline from the high
est of Monday of about 1875 points, but
good buying set in, principally from
New Orleans. which gave us rapid
up turn, so that we close considerably
better than last night. The trade is
as much mixed as ever, and the bull
leaders, especially in New Orleans, con-
tinue quite confident that they will be
able to again force cotton to very high
prices, counting on the Census Bureau
and a rapid falling off in the move
ment.
1t is quite possible that with favor
able conditions the market may adj
vance further, but we think it will be
difficult to get the public in again with
the former enthusiasm and we are still
inclined to favor selling on any good
bulge.

Healthy Condition of Naval stores
Market GIaddens Hearts of the
Producers.
Thursday, Dec. 81.
The naval stores market has been
firm since Christmas, and the week
has witnessed an advance of 5 cents
in all the higher grades of resins
Both the spirits and rosin market
are reported firm with a steady de-
mand for turpentine at 56A cents. Tur-
pentine is over 10 cents higher than
it was at this time last year, which
argues well for the future.
Factors believed that it will go to
still higher prices. and expect a strong
demand in the month of January They
base their prediction of the advance
on the question of supply, and demand,
and don't believe that there will be
an overproduction by the time of the
opening of the new season, April /,
which is the beginning of the fiscal
year in the naval stores trade.
The question is one of labor, and
at this season of the year workers
in turpentine and resins are not so
plentiful. For this reason it is not
thought that there will be plethora
of boxes cut in the turpentine dis
tricts.
The turpentine situation might be
summed UP. in one word, healthy"
and both producers and factors are
happy on the advent of a new year.
ROSINS-As in the spirits market
there is a corresponding demand for
rosins, and the factors have exper
fenced but little difficulty in disposing
of all the goods that have been receiv-
ed at this market even at the advanced
prices in higher grades. Indeed as
fast as the samples are spread upon the
tables, they are grabbed up. The ros-
in market has been marked during the
last week for it's consistent irmness and
the demand is expected to continue in
the steady coming year.
