NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Dec. 9.-The action of the committee on cotton distribution today removing the restrictions on short selling served to increase confi- dence in the export outlook, but also opened the way for fresh selling of cotton futures on the unsettled cOndi- tion of the goods trade. The result was irregularity of fluctuations. The market closed barely steady at a net decline of 5 to 27 points.
 The census bureau showing 9,o63,- 124 bales of cotton ginned prior to December 1st, against 9,713,529 last year and 10,352,529 two years ago seemed to creat no fresh sentiment of consequence. Local traders said that such unusual conditions had been created by the epidemic and congest- ion at the oil mills that the returns could hardly be compared with pre- vious years, but the figures were gen erally referred to as strengthening the smaller estimates of the crop. Liverpool was a seller of late de- liveries. There also appeared to be southern selling on the late decline. The feature in the early cotton market today was the announcement that the prohibition on speculative short selling had been removed by the committee on cotton distribution. The market opened steady at decline of 2S to 40 points under continual tion of the realizing movement which had been ill progress at the close on Saturday. There may also have been some scattered selling on the reports of the labor troubles in Lancashire and curtailed production in some of the New England mills, but the offerings
 were quickly absorbed and the active months sold 12 to 20 points net higher shortly after the call. January advan- ced from 26.10 to 26.75 and March
