Louenan 6. cos Market Letter.

Market was favorably influenced by the course of values at Liverpool today, fu- lures in the English market being dectd- edly more encouraging than expected, closing at an advance of about points when a decline of about points was look ed for, there was less doing in the local spot market than of late, but prices were said to be higher than those officially quoted, weather conditions were some what unfavorable, cold in northeastern section of the belt, light frost in North Carolina, first of the season and wet weather prevailed in the middle Gulf states and in sections of Texas, an ex- cessive rain of AIS having been report ed from Meridian, Miss, where wind velocity of 34 miles per hour occurred, doing damage to open cotton In the fields.
 Trading was resumed at the opening with values about 10 point shigher than last night. closing December 10.1, after selling at 10.66 only to react and advance IS points to 10.79.
 Information as to condition of the spot markets of the south was eagerly sought but reports of there being less doing sort of discouraged traders who were inclined to buy. Press dispatches told of rumors of combinations forming at New York and New Orleans for pur- pose of advancing prices and leading ac- tors on the bulls stage advised friends and the public to buy cotton concluding with positive expression to effect that the market was to sell very much higher. Had the demand for spots been as urgent as during the early part of the week longs would have had but little difficulty in sending values up. The movement to market was lost sight of although 1t was as much as 356,O00 vs. 231 600 last year and 336,o00 in 1902, during which season there had been marketed to date S57,000 vs. s11 900 this year, 46,OOO more and the crop was but 10.72S.000 bales.
