IoHN +. CLARK & co. COTTON LETIEl.

NEW ORLEANS, Dee. 23.-Not for years
has the suspense in the market over sunday
been so entirely free Of any un1aNofaOle
news as il was over Yesterday. The press
is enc array Of optimistic views and ac-
counts. Good political, Sood trade, SOou
shipping and good spot news.
The Association OF Commerce here an
nounces the plan for an invitation TO cotton
interests throughout the world for an inter
national cotton convention here as soon as
possible.
General competition for the urgent ac-
quisitiOn of raw material is coming daily
more prominently into view. The advance
in the contract markets is cheapenlng the
basis, and therefore, facilitating the demand
for spots. A good spot business was done
here ON Saturday after hours at "a to =
cent over quotations.
Weather conditions continue to support
the advance. Continued bad wea ther, cauS-
ing the loss OF late cotton, delay In glnnin
and new crop preliminarieS. This prOtract-
ed bad weather was the chief factor in
causing a narrowing lately in the excessive
discount of later positions under the near.
our market opened 10 to 80 higher
advanced rapidly under general demand I'M
til the gain reached 80 points on the spring
months, the discount of May under Marcn
narrowing to around seventy points.
Futures are yet so much below the lead
by developments in shipping trade and spots
that advance in futures is more justified
and better protected than on many a pre-
viOus occasion. After this good upturn at
the start the market quieted down and
acted moderately, but there was = strong
