COTTON MARKETS..

NEW YORK. December 7.-Cotton was
quiet to-day. but there was enough buying
to give a steady undcrtone. The close was
net unchanged to two points higher Tho
demand for the late months was less active
than toward the end OF last weeI. but bullish
sentiment was partially encouraged by the
continued absence OF Southern hedge selling
on any important scale and the Increasing
export movement. There appeared to bo lit
tie or no pressure against the market.
The opening was steady at an advance of
one to four points In response to steady
cables December notices estimated at about
5000 bales were reported in circulation. but
evidently caused no liquidation Of conse-
auence. and active months sold about three
20 four points net higher shortly after the
call. Reactions Of Ave or six points fol-
lowed under realizing. but trade buying
made Its appearance on every little setback.
and the close was within two or three points
OF the best.
While houses with European connections
nave been among tho best buyers here re-
Gently. and some traders have attributed
the demand to German interests. others
claim that the buying of late months has
been largely for the account OF domestic
spinners. Mills are said to be buying spot
cotton only for their immediate needs, while
II Is reported that they find difficulty In
buying contracts from Southern shippers for
deliveries next summer or autumn at any
thing like tho prevailing spot quotation. and
they nre taking futures on the declines as
protection against their needs
