COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, December 2s.--The cotton
market opened steady at decline of SIG
points which was about as due on the
cables. Trading was quiet during the early
session, and after some irregularlty the
market rallied to about the closing prices
of last night on covering of shorts and a
little buying by Wall Street. II was re-
ported tina, an annual clearance sale of dry
goods was going slowly, which was consd-
cred a bearish feature, but on the other
hand there were reports of an Improvement
In financial circles. both in this country and
abroad. and sentiment in the local mark It
wa. pretty we'll divided. The market closed
steady with prices net 2G7 points~lower.
Receipts of cotton at the ports to-day
were 5000 bales against 1877 last week
and 1856 last year: for the week 100000
buleE agains; 354,43l last week and 314.4o!

tion involving $4,000 may show IN
the deed only S. transaction.
Deeds are generally made by law
yers, and too many OF them are made
to suppress rather than to furnish in
formation. That may be the reason
why SO many Of them will not hold
water when they are assailed.
Three and Half Million.
However. 1t Is estimated by some
OF the best posted men in the business
that the average weekly sales of real
estate in this city during the year
1907 have been about $4,000. Multiply
that sum by fifty-two. the number
of weeks that have been buried in the
graveyard Of the dying year. and the
total transactions for 1907 will foot
up S3.600.000. Under the circumstances
this can only be regarded as an esti-
mate, or guesswork, IL you will, but 1t
is the estimate and the guesswork of
some mighty well posted men, who
are in a position to do good guessing.
The outlook for next year Is on the
whole encouraging. Some OF the agents
think there will be little or no specu
lators' buying, but there will be a
great deal of home buying. They say
the people have been prosperous. and
many want homes. and as building ma
terials and labor have come down
there is no reason why there should
not be more than the usual amount Of
home building in Richmond and Its
suburbs during the good yearsl9eS.
Ginter Park.
With plans In the hands OF Richmond
architects aggregating between $4,000
and $4,000 for homes In Ginter Park,
it looks as If suburban development
knows no cessation. In addition to
plans for nine handsome homes. all
to be completed and ready for occu-
Fancy before next fall. several other
recent purchasers of lots In the park
have had plans drawn for homes and
are now receiving bids from contrac-
tors with view OF starting work as
soon as the spring opens for building
operations.
j. D. Carneal. Jr.. has let the con-
tract for the handsome home of o. G..
Peers, in Chamberlayne Avenue. This
building will cost about $1,000. and
Lro:lises to be one OF the prettiest in
the Ginter Park.
Mr.. carneal is also preparing plans
for the home of Mr.. Frank Duke. in
Seminary Avenue
Mr.. c. K. Howell has finished the
plans and is now receiving bids for
the modern dwelling of George Thax-
ton, Walton and Noble Avenues.
Another of the handsome homes to
of Charles e. Taylor. Mr.. Taylor is
receiving bids for his home now and
will let the contract as soon as all
are In.
Last week Dr.. j. Shelton Hershey, OF
No. 800 West Grace Street, bought q
large lot OF the Lewis Ginter Land
and Improvement Company. DR..
Horsley intends building handsome
summer home in the park.

stock markets BRISK advance, which
was inaugurated yesterday, was not
pursued with confidence. Gains were
more than wiped out In the final sell
ing. This was due, in part to the re-

by tho covering operations OF yester-
day. which In turn were the largest
element In the advance. The traders
who bought yesterday also were dis.
posed to take profits to-day.
