Cotton.

A reaction from the furry Of the
previous session left the cotton mar
ket at the close yesterday showing de-
clines Of "a to 80 points. January
contracts sold off to 29.02, making a
decline of SO points from Tuesdays
high level, and closed at 29.O6.
The market was unsettled from the
start. The appearance Of selling or
ders here from the South, particularly
the Southwest, gave the impression
that spot offerings had increased at
the higher prices, and the selling be-
came more active during the afternoon.
A few additional December notices
appeared TO be promptly stopped, but
there was talk Of heavier tenders to-
ward the end Of the morning. This
seemed to contemplate the possibility
of cotton held in the stock here for
exporting being rendered should there
be no improvement in the ocean freight
ituation meanwhile. In this connec-
tion II was said that a rate Of Sl1 per
hundred was bid yesterday morning
for small amount Of room out Of
New York TO Liverpool without secur-
ing space. Ocean freight brokers are
talking rather more hopefully as to
the outlook and seemed to anticipate
that more room will be available IN
both New York and Southern ports

Versatile Machinery
Needed to Please
Foreign Customers

CLEVELAND, Dec. 12.-American
manufacturers, il they hope TO succeed
in foreign trade after the war, must
impart to their producing machinery
a quality of versatility which will en-
able them to comply with the special
demands Of particular foreign markets
and at the same time take full advan-
tage Of their proven genius for pro-
Guction along standardized lines. In
this way only, declared G. A. O'Reilly,
foreign trade representative of the
Irving National Bank Of New York, in
an address before the Cleveland Ad-
vertising Club, will it be possible to
cover the larger field, and at the same
time secure proper economy in produc-
ton.
The development of foreign credit
equipment, not necessarily along Eng
lish or French or German lines, but
along sound and flexible lines, so that
in world competition it will be pos
sble 20 extend to desirable foreign
customers, safely and consistently,
whatever credit consideration may be
required in securing or holding any
particular trade, was also urged by Mr.
O'Reilly.
"We must" he said, "possess and
control a complete trading proposition
instead of one in which profitable de-
tails are farmed out to others, as was
the case before the war. For illustra-
tion: Our foreign trade contracts
should be domiciled at home instead Of
abroad AS now, and in the adjudication
Of questions arising in connection with
Ap,a,iaap trthtspala la
should be considered at least as seri-
ously as those of any other country.
We must develop American exchange
and educate the markets Of the world
to an appreciation Of the commercial
advantages which it presents. Dollar
exchange looks very good just now,
during the war, when we occupy pre-
ferred and controlling commercial po-
sition. but il ia rash iinancier who
will express more than the hope that II
will look equally good after the war,
when the commercial machinery of ma
tions has been released and free buy
ing and world competition again be-
come facts.
1--WE must develop an American mer-
chant marine which will enable US 10
put our goods into the markets OF the
world without reference TO the con-
venience Of any but ourselves, and un-
der conditions which will give our
prices the benefit of any special ad-
vantage which may result from the
use of complete and exclusively Ameri-
controlled transportation facilities.
We must learn foreign markets. their
methods and peculiarities, and must de-
velop complete selling machinery OF
our own instead OF following the alb
surd practice of the past, in which the
sale and reputation Of our goods were
intrusted to foreign agents selected
frequently from among our most sc-
tive competitors"

Coffee Futures. opening advance
was followed by reaction in the coffee
market yesterday. General business
was quiet. Houses with Wall Street
and Cotton Exchange connections were
the early buyers, supposedly for Liver
pool account, but the demand was
readily supplied at opening prices. and
the market was a shade easier during
the afternoon under scattering liqui-
dation or trade selling. The market
opened at an advance Of 8 points, and
closed points lower to point higher.

Wheat.-Aside from the lack of mos-
ure in the Southwestern portion OF the
winter wheat belt, the condition of
the new crop appears TO be favorable.
Snow covering is light in some sections,
but comparatively little apprehension
is being felt regarding the probable
effect of the cold weather. a prominent
Western authority estimates the sur
plus in the United States this year at
1879 900, 900 bushels, which is consider
ably above the fve-year average before
the war. This is based on reduced home
consumption.
Corn.-The market was again mac
tive, closing net unchanged TO bc lower.
The question OF the movement is still
the most important factor. The efforts
on the part OF the government to re-
lieve the situation, it is argued, should
bring about material increase in re-
ceipts at terminals. The weather, how
ever. has been much against traffic at
large, and the promised increase IN re-
ceipts has failed 10 take place
The cold weather has been highly
beneficial to the corn on the farms, and
il is expected to bring about an i'm
provement in the grade. Cash markets

there has been little TO indicate more
than a moderate attempt to do export
