SELMA COTTON MARKET
NEW YORK COTTON.

New York. Dec. 30.-The feature in the cotton market today was the January mo- the stopping of which caused sharp ad- vance in prices The close was steady at a net advance of IF e 26 points. Sales were estimated at 350.000 bales.
 The market opened firm but very irreg- ular at a decline of six points to an ad were lower owing to reports that notices representing about 5o.000 bales had been Issued January contracts but Jan uary sold up from 10. 30 to 42 during the first few mintes the indications were that the weak interest in January had been promptly stopped This view influenced the later position on the can and shortly after the opening all the active months were selling IS O 20 points higher a result of covering and bull support.
 During the middle of the day. the mar 'ket reacted several points from the top and ruled quiet but became more active again toward the close when near months were particularly firm reports of higher spot markets in the South. and last prices were within point or two of the best level of the day.
 In the late session January sold within 17 points of March whereas January was 27 points under March at the close last week. It reported that the spot houses commonly referred to the December bull clique. had both issued and stopped the January notices and there a rumor that the cotton was to be shipped out to Liverpool. Aside from the notices there was little feature to the news and trading was largely local.
 Receipts at the ports today 77915 bales, againsa 4S.749 last week and 77237 last year. Receipts for the week 34O.0ee bales. against 354.341 last week and 314.492 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 22, s61 bales. against 27,S41 last year.

was a gradual but slow increase du-
 ring the next eight years, which
 brought the amount at the beginning of of the year 1909 up to s24S.S17.z2z, Sd .sa act of March IA, 1900. which carried
 the circulation by January 1905. to
 $464,794,156. As soon as the panic
 broke on November l, 1907, the total bank circulation was s4Os, ,sso, ,46s. The measures then taken by Secretary Cor
 telyou to promote circulation resulted
 in an increase of about $75,000.000 du- ring the next seven weeks. so that the circulation stood on December 21, 1907,
 at $6S3.795. .923.
 Accompanying the increase of bank
 note circulation in order to meet the
 pressure for currency was the dramatic movement of nearly $106. 900 in gold
 from Europe within a period of about
 six weeks. This enormous movement
 of gold was facilitated by the sharp
 arrest of imports of luxuries and
 combined effort by producers, railways
 and bankers to ship promptly to Flu
 rope the large crops of cotton, wheat
 and other farm products of the autumn
 season. Imports of merchandise. which
 had been as much as $125. SO6,OfS in Au-
 gust, fell to an average of about $109.-
 000,0 for the next three months. end ing with $l10.7S9.109 for November.
 Exports of merchandise on the other
 hand, which had been as low as S127,- 270,447 in August. advanced to $780,.
 256,0S5 in October and $2O4.444.36o in
 
 From another source the volume of currency in ejaculation was swollen hy the increase of deposits of public
 money in the banks from $1s1.SO0,503 on June 30 to $259. 1851. .004 on December 26. This increase of about $7S.000. .000
 had been partly deposited in the banks prior to the panic.
 While much of this currency disap- peared into hoards during the panic. it's reappearance in time ot comparative inactivity. it is feared. may nc reflected | by speculation in the stock market and ! an outward movement of gold in the period of decline in bank reserves has been a fall in the market value of sil- yer bullion. Silver has drifted down to | "A 7-16 pence, not far above the lowest 1 point touched in it's history. which was | 2l 1--16 pence in December. 1902, and
 January, 1903.
 Thus the old year ends with prices of commodities and securities much lower thar a year ago and with liqui- | datlon largely advanced in panklng | fields. if not Tn the field of commodi- l ties. The great stock of currency ab- l sorbed during the period of panic is l returning to the banks and tnN-action | just taken by the Secretary of the l it's of public money in the banks will l tend to check the outward movement of l gold. which in some quarters IS expect | ed within the next few months. the | financial structure of the country has | stood the strain with only a limited 1 number of serious disasters and will i enter upon the new year under much | stronger and safer conditions than it l began the old year.

By Private Wire to c. G. Abercrombie &
 Co.,, 4Ok Commerce St.
 New Orleans, Dec 30.-In keeping with expectations upwards of 5O,0O0 were tender ed on January contracts at New York to- during the past few days would indicate all of the cotton was cared for, the result being that March in the local market touched He today about forty points high CT than last weeks low level.
 The FaIi River cotton mills, the most fav- orable on record, showing cash dividend againset 6 80 per cent. last year and 8 .01 in 1905, were features that received favor able comment, the report concluding with the statement that the prosperity has not been confined to the stockholders for the operatives have been; and are still receiving the highest wages ever paid there, and that there has been an abundance of work for all These conditions, however were made possible by the mills being able to obtain abnormally high prices up to the fall for cotton goods of every description, es- pecially for print cloths, which sold in the neighborhood of six cents per yard TOT regulars. During the last quarter or the present year, conditions in cotton manu- featuring centers have changed materially however. Regular prints have been reduc- ed to such extent, the other makes in proportion that they are now quoted at < and the monetary crisis throughout the country has resulted in forcing New Eng land mills to curtail production 70 per cent during January and February of the com ing year. Thus far. a splendid showing on the part of Fall River mills in the matter of dividend disbursements was without doubt due to conditions existing prior to October fthe present year.
 The run of arrivals at New Orleans for tomorrow is of a record proportion, expect ations being for 3S,0OO to 43.000, which. in the way of explanation, are partly due to 1t being Tuesday when receipts are usually heavy to it being the end of the month also because of it being the end of the year Thus far this week receipts at all ports total 135,OOO vs. 117.0O0 last year. by tomorrow they will amount to about 225.- 900 vs. 165, 900 year ago, very heavy l movement considering the size of the crop | and supposition is that the interior has been holding
 Spinners takings the coming week Of last year were very heavy 425,000, and as
 mills have been taking but sparingly this far this season, 1t is reasonable to assume that the worlds visible supply Of Ameri- can next Friday will show bearish compar- | atives, perhaps very much so.
