New Work. Cotton MarI,et

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Hutton's wire says:
1.-The market was 2G4 points higher.
CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-The weakness in cotton
seems to be without any ascribed reason except
liquidation in a professional way of long in
terest IN the December and January options. The
total thus far this season in sight is 6,T43, ,504
bales against 4,ss3,779 last year This is a
very full movement, but when you look at the
mills tskngs for the same p>riod the movement
is lost sight of. The mills takings total 3, al
600 bales for the season. against 1920. 600 bales
last year. The takings at the rate of over
13, 500 600 bales per annum. even If the trade
shows nc improvement where it stands
and the general prediction is for constantly i'm
proving trade conditions. II this is an early
ginned and marketed crop a drop in receipts Is
inevitable shortly, and there is nothing in the
political financial horizon to curtail consump
tion.
