NEW YORK COTTON.

New York. Dec. 23-In some respects at
least. today's cotton market was the most
remarkable OF the season. IL not in the his
tory of the trade. Prices reached the lac
leevl predicted before Christmas for some
weeks past but notwithstanding this and the
impending four day adjournment which, in
itself would nominally have caused general

heavy enough to force any reaction of con-
sequence and there was perhaps the most
active business. from start to finish that has
ever occurred the day before the Christmas
holidays. No attempt was made to Indulge
in the usual holiday festivities and the mar
ket was finally steady at a net advance OF
A924 points; new crop months being reIa-
lively firm.
The market opened steady at an advance
OF SOS points and very after sold at
16 cents. There was realizing enough to send
prices off 3@4 points from the best, but
Liverpool showed continued strength after
the local opening and the market during the
middle OF the day worked into still higher
ground with March contracts selling at 1913
and May at 1s oil. or 9a10 points net high

afternoon, all offerings were absorbed within
