the South to be offering but sparingly par. ticularly Texas. The easier price at the ports was mainly due to selling of cotton on consignments. which in turn helps to lower the market in the interest of the bear party. Middling cotton has not been so low as it is today, 3-16c, since October, 1899. se 1t can be readily understood why the Sohh is not pleased with the price now offered for its chief staple. The average price obtained for last seasons crop was l2.1s. and the highest price of middling last season was l6 7-16c Conditions, 1t is true. alter cases especially a commodity like cotton
 It would appear that the decline is be- ing overdone by professional operators in the speculative markets. but much to the liking of spinners throughout the world. The rank and file of the big crop folk are looking forward for sinners report on cotton ginned to Nov. IL to show at least 11750.- 900 bales. which would indicate a crop of about 100000 bales in excess of require ments. They are not figuring on the pos sfbiiity of the census report showing a less amount ginned than expected and of prob ability of farmers refusing to market sand 10 per cent of their crop fin the event of prices remaining under Sc during the bal- ance of the season.

NEW YORK DRY GOODS.

KEW YORK, Dec. 2I.-Ihe dry goods market is on a substantial basis and little evidence of possible declines. The attitude of sellers is toward the maintenance of prices and there seems to be little war rant for any recession owing to the well sold condition of many mills and the posi- tion of manufacturers regarding cotton. Job bers are joinE a very restricted business and little interest is likely to be evinced until after the first ot the year.

WALL STREET REVIEW
DULL TRADING CONTINUED FOR 4
 SHORT PERIOD. e
Prices Turned Abruptly Downward and Sharp Declines Were Scored on
 Considerably Larger rVOl- is t tune of Business.

NEW YORK, Dec 2l.---The strong upward movement of prices of stocks in dull trading which became striking yesterday was con- tinued for a brief period only this morn ing. The movement at first seemed ts, run out simply and a lethargic' condition de- veloped. Then prices turned abruptly down. ward. sharp declines were scored on q con sfderably larger volume of business than at any time during the previous days advance.
 The coincidence of accelerated downwsid movement with the appearance in Wall the Commissioner of Corporations gave color to the supposition that the weakness was induced by the contents of the report. The recommendation in favor of Federal licenses to permit corporations to engagni in inter- state commerce seemed to revive all the ap- prehensions felt in the financial district on this subject ever since the publication of the Presidents message. When the subject has received into the background as a mar ket factor or seemed to do so. 1t has been because of quotationNof authorities throwing doubt on the likelihood of action by Con gress in line with the recommendations.
 The manner of some of the selling was of large operations, but whether the con nivsnce of the interests supposed to be act- ing was left to the usual suspicious con. lecture of the trading public. The news of the day was not very significant. and was not much regarded. The busy hum of ex- citement trade in the retail districts gave warnings that the usual considerable holiday requirements for cash will have to be esti- mated with other factors in the year-end money markets. With the sailing of the last steamer which can reach foreign mar kets with remittances before the first of the year the exchange market went to pieces and fiattened out to almost nom- inai basis. This is corroborative of the view that the outgo of gold has been designated for purposes of%.'window dressing by for eign financial institnttons' showing of con- ditions. t 9# '"

Managers; Phone 7ss) / NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 21-Every one
 hoped. prayed. talked and worked for a re-
 action during the early hours of today's
 session in the cotton market. and to those who were bullishy inclined. the market
 looked around the opening as if it was go- "The worm has turned at last" said the
 bulls, and it's going higher so that may
 sell 1t again." and the bears appeared about
 as anxious for higher prices did the bulls. | In spite of this almost general feeling that the market was the advance, weakness developed at about the middle of the morn- ing and in a short time there another
 slump: painfully similar to those which have been seen of late when but compara- lively few people were thinking of such
 thing as a reactions
 "A friend In need is a friend indeed" says the old proverb. but cotton has no
 friends of any kind just at present. The market opened steady at an advance
 of to points. This rise and the improve
 ment which followed were based wholly | upon sentimental ideas that prices so- | ing to boost themselves to much higher
 levels and this idea was spread by some ex- | tremely bulish cables from Liverpool and telegrarps from New York from apparent | tremely bearish information yesterday and | for several days preceding Reports of a | few hundred bales of distressed cotton in | Texas knocked this sentiment in the head | and the market then pursued the fairly even tenor of its way downward
 Where 1t will touch bottom is as hard matter 10 guess as It was To guess where the top would be reached In the insane bull campaign of last year.
 Tn tho spot market there was a good in l quiry in the earlier hours at unchanged prices. On this basis about 5000 bales were sold on the spot. With the decline in | futures buyers withdrew from the market. and prices were said to be kc lower than yesterday. Only a moderate amount of busi- ness was done with the country and reports | to us from all the principal interior points said that farmers had not changed their attitude. but were still holding A few cases were heard of in Dallas and Paris. Texas, where merchants buyers | forced to sell small lots of cotton which | they had been holding and against which, | in one or two instances. banks had made l loans. Private advices from New York l said that spinners were large buyers from certain spot interests yesterday.
 | Private cablegrams from Liverpool said that the market looked dangerously over | sold and that the long interest com pletely liquidated.

 NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 21.--The opening logically due. later an improvement ensued on the belief that the excessive selling had resulted In a dangerously large short inter est. The liquidation of the weak long in terest was said to be complete, cables were quite unanimous in expressing the belief that a better undertone existed and an ad- vance might be expected. The loss for the day options was 4 points and on spots points.
 In sympathy with the more healthy for eign market initial trades our exchange were made at moderate advance. Gov ering of shorts with some buying on the be- steady market during the early portion of our session. Later. however, this support subsided and evidence of weakness of- ferings became free. increasing somewhat as prices yielded. until March cotton reached '. 20. at which point good buying was con spicuous. The semi-weekly statement from the leading interior towns was slightly bull ish but not sufficiently so to be of influ- ence in sustaining prices.
 The prevailing low prices are quite sure to result in increased buying by spinners. both domestic and foreign. Japan has not been loath in placing orders for round lots. character have already assumed larger pro- portions than currently believed. and may be expected to increase. Although there may have been more than a sufficiency Of cotton for the current year. mills are like ly to be guided by the possibilities of cur tailed acreage. of poor planting season. The market may not be at Its lowest point, but sellers around present levels should be con tented with moderate profits.
