NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 21.-Today's Liverpool

ing large selling, which can only come from big
stFaddle operations. The difference between
Liverpool and New York had lately grown to
about 100 points, which is unusually large and
whites profit taking on straddles by buying on
cur side and selling In Liverpool, causing a
contrast In the, markets.
straddIe operators are concerned merely with
difference between the markets and hav no
regard for cotton facts. Therefore, buying or

change In leading opinion. TO freight conditions,
TO holding strength, etc; whereas, In fact. it
may be nothing more than thoughtless and char
acteriess straddle buying.
4 Liverpool cable said: Market poor; tone
poor; fearing lockout" This refers to a threat

orally thought that owing TO profitable trade
conditions the strike WIN be ayerted, but a

which may eomplicate matters.
Our market lost about, points in the early
tradinE, but there was some resolute buying
BY the same houses which were prominent in

5I4.272 bales in zoos Comparisons OF mill
fakings for the week are expected 70 be buIlish,

the whole, however. II cannot. be denied that
without regard to the direct cause, the re-
eosery In the market this week has called for
revision OF ideas and q greater portion OF
active speculation is inclined toward a change
OF views That prices are low in comparison
with the past two seasons Is q fact. The de-
pleuon OF the reserve supply OF goods aud
the shortage in other crops are the principal
buh arguments Nevertheless the world has
never yet had such enormous supply of raw
material available this seosau, and this is
q matter OF consideration.
