 New Orleans, Dec. 29.--The close of the calendar year finds the cotton mar movement to market being the. heaviest on record and prospects being for a large crop, over 13,00O.00o bales. That there has been a revolution in the manner of marketing the crop Is silent ly testified to by the independent attt- tude of the Southern farmer. for while arrivals at the ports have been on colossal scale, the cotton has not been parted with except at remunerative prices, at about 10 cents, basis of mid ding, in the interior. and as for cot l tons of good color and staple, such | large premiums have been secured as steadinss of the market, however, is probably due principally to the general | belief that the years production will not be any larger than the season | consumption, say about l2.500,000 bales | and, also, by the fear entertained that | the boil weevil. which, although cover | ing a larger territory than ever before
 in Texas. Louisiana, Arkansas and m | dian Territory, did less damage this | year than expected, probably on ac- | count of favorable climatic conditions, might in the future become more de structive than ever, in measure would offset the increase in acreage to come of prevailing high prices and the con- | stantly growing demand for cotton and | cotton goods by the world.
 1 This far this season, the principal
 cotton producing countries of the world. figuring Egyptian cantars and
 the Indies, weights at 500 pounds per | hale. have marketed as follows to date:
 United States. 7,s65,000, against G.
 ss2.OO0 last year: Egypt soS.ooO against l 719,0OO; India, 47S,006, against 513,00O;
 Total 9,251.000. against S,214,O0O.
 Of the above, there remains in the
 visible supply of the world 6.174,oo0 bales, against 5,30S, 900 year ago, and as there was surplus at opening of the season of 1,S0S,0O0 against 2,55S.00O a year ago mill takings by the world
 of all kinds have been 6,SS5,0Oo. against 5465, ,000 to this date last year, showing the demand to be general and for cot
 tons of all descriptions. The Old

 States has been unable thus far to pro- vide more than 4,00O, 900 bales, owing to the small production of lint per acre

 In addition to the general liquidation of long wheat there was free selling by Northwestern interests for the snort account.

FINANCIERS REVIEW.
 New York, Dec. 29.-The Financier says this week:
 HThe official statement of the New York Associated Banks last week was quite as favorable so far as Increases in cash and surplus reserve were concern. greater than that which was generally estimated, on the basis of the traceable movement of money during the week. This discrepancy, however, due to un- recorded changes incident to transfers of funds from the South and the South west. The disappointing feature of the return was the increase In loans where as an important decrease was looked for as the result of the weeks liqui- dation on the stock exchange. The in- posits were augmented by $9,652, 300, which amount closely agrees with the sum of the gain in cash and the i'm crease in loans. so that the sentiment made a good proof. The required re- deposits increased $2,413.075. deductlng which from the cash gain left S2.0SS,- 325 as the increase in surplus reserve to $5, 369. .225. Computed upon the basis of deposits. less those of $6.529,000 public were expanded s5,7ss.7o0 this may be due to temporary loaning of funds de- posted preparatory to the distribution of January dividends and interest. which loaninE was in excess of cancel lat!ons of loans resulting from stock liauidation. The daily average of bank clearinEs during the week was $344, ,000.- 900 against $403 ,000, 900 in the previous week; cleartnRs on Saturday. refiecting Fridays business were $3S1.s94.247 :. banks show that eight institutions ex- banded this item by five millions net. Seven banks gained four millions net cash.
