THE MARKETS.
Cotton Letter.
New York. Dec. 6.—(Special)—Liverpool
today showed more Interest in cotton than
for some days past and the improvement in
that market was reflected at our opening
by an advance of about 5 points. January
opened at 8.11 and advanced to 8.15, then
there was free selling and the market be
came weak, January declining to 8.08. But
in the last hour there was brisk demand to
cover shorts and January advanced to 8.16.
The close was steady with 8.14 bid for Jan
uary, and prices have now reached a point
at which there seems little danger of any
further serious break for the rest of the
month. We rather expect the fluctuations
to be within a moderate range and to be
governed by the daily bulletins of receipts.
On weak spots we would rather buy, taking
moderate profits whenever the market
shows firmness. We think it dangerous to
be short, though we hardly look for any
very decided change In either direction until
after the new year has begun.
RIORDAN & CO.
Chicago ’Change.
Chicago, Dec. 6.—The short interest crea*
ted in wheat recently was evidently a largo
one, and at the present time it is not in a
very complacent mood. Today’s market
owes quite a respectable gain In prices to
the uncomfortable feeling displayed by this
class of traders. The sentiment early was
rather undecided. The fear of something
in tiie nature of an European complication
tended to defer selling and buyers were cor
respondingly backward. Although prices
opened firm, it took only moderate offerings
to cause them to recede. After noon the
movement in an opposite direction set In,
and at the close the feeling was strong at
the outside quotations of the day. May
wheat opened at 61%@611<4c, sold between
GO*4 and lilvsc, closing at the outside, %c
higher than yesterday. Cash wheat in the
sample department was firm and V6c higher.
Corn—In obedience to the influence ex
erted by wheat corn declined in the morning
and advanced in the afternoon. The open
ing trailing was at firm prices, but the lack
of bull ardor and the downward trend of
wheat soon gave the market a different
phase. The rally before the close was pure
ly a matter of sympathy. May corn opened
at 291/2!H8c, sold between 28%(&29 and 29%@
2!*V*c, closing at the outside, %(5>%c higher
than yesterday. Cash corn was active.
Oats—Business was light in oats. The
feeling was irregular. Opening trades were
at steady prices, but an easier tone ruled
later. Towards the close a firming up pro
cess set in, and at the close the best quota
tions of the day prevailed. The variations
of wheat and corn furnished the inspiration
to oats. May oats closed Vfec higher than
yesterday. Cash oats were firm.
Provisions—The buying of pork by several
packing concerns at and around the open
ing was the noticeable Incident of the day
in provisions. When it ceased the vim, if
the moderate activity was possessed of any,
disappeared. At the close May pork was
2*40 lower and May lard and ribs each a
shade lower than yesterday.

In Wall Street.
‘ New York, Dec. 6.—The bulls In the Indns
It rials had their opponents on the run from
Start to finish of the session. For weeks
(past It has been fashionable in speculative
circles to go short of these specialties on
prospects of congressional Interference,
[threatened litigation and law suits actually
begun, until nearly active trader on the
Atreet had out a line of short contracts. In
ft he industrials those contracts reached an
lenormous total, and all the bears needed to
make their campaign a success was some
(unfavorable development to begin the de
moralization in the bull ranks. The refusal
(Of congress to rush ahead with legislation
against trusts was a disappointment, but
ft he first serious blow to the hones of the
Aborts was given yesterday by Judge
gShowalter, who practically threw the Pitts
(Barrows case out of the court. Following
the announcement of this decision there
(was a wild rush to cover and in their anx
iety to get back their contracts brokers bid
prices up on themselves. The stock opened
at 67% and 69%, 5000 shares changing hands
almost simultaneously with the dropping of
the chairman’s gavel. A further rise to
69% followed, after which some of the more
prudent of the bulls sold a line of stock
acquired in the recent decline from 70 down
to 08%, and the nrice receded to 07%. Trad
ing then dropped to normal proportions, and
the price hovered about GK®68% until near
the close, when It jumped to 09%. Sugar was
taken in hand and marked up 1% per cent,
to 105%, a decline to 104% followed, but just
at the close a Mg buying order was placed in
the room and the stock soared to 107%®1077g.
Tobacco after a decline to 76% jumped to
79%. Leather preferred after an early period
of weakness and a decline to G2% rose to
61%. Speculation in TT»e railway list was
checked at one time by the engagement of
$2,600,000 of gold for export to Kurope to
morrow, but in, the afternoon session a bet
ter demand prevailed, and on covering of
shorts an advance of %®% per cent took
place, the improvement being well dis
tributed. The closing was strong under the
influence of the spurt in Sugar. Net
changes show gains of %®% per cent in the
railway and %®1% per cent In the Indus
trials. Total sales were 295,007 shares, of
which 225,500 were in the indusrials.

Sun’s Cotton Review.
New York, Dec. G.—Tho Sun’s cotton re
view says: Cotton rose 8 to 10 points, lost
considerable of this and then rallied and
closed steady at a rise for the day of 8 to ltf
points, with sales of 178,600 bales.
Today’s features: Prices advanced in spite
of the fact that the receipts both at the
ports and Interior towns for the week were
considerably more than had been expected.
The interior towns were expected to get
140.000 bales, but they got nearly 20,000 bales
more than this. Liverpool expected during
tho week to get somewhere from 195,000 to
215.000 bales, and got something over 231,000
bales. The quantity to be brought Into sight
was estimated at. one time at only 300.000
bales, but according to a New Orleans dis
patch it Is 352,000 bales, against 281,000 bales
last week. Furthermore the New Orleans
estimates for tomorrow were liberal. The
bears call attention to the fact that in about
a month the planting of the now crop will
commence, and they Insist that the average
next season is likely to be the largest ever
planted. For all that prices advanced, for
tho bears lacked the courage of their con
victions and covered on very moderate
terms. There was some war talk, but this
had no effect. Local covering put up the
price, and that covering was due to the ac
tivity and higher prices in Liverpool, more
favorable reports from Manchester, less
anxiety to sell the actual cotton and the
fact that although the crop movement is
larger than has been expected, it is after all
Just about tho same as in the small crop
year of 1S92. Furthermore, while the inte
rior stocks show a gain of 38,000 bales for the
week, it is well known that a considerable
proportion of the cotton now held in south
ern towns belong to cotton mills. Manufac
turers were oaught napping last season, and
they show a disposition to profit by the les
son of past experiences this season. Spot
cotton will govern the speculation, it is be
lieved, in the immediate future, and that is
regarded as a bull principle.

Dry Goods.
New York. Dec. G.—The dry goods market
today has again presented a decidedly quiet
appearance. Business on the spot has been
confined to a great extent to operations by
resident representatives of out of town
houses, and these have done little more than
till in to meet current requirements In any
line of merchandise for seasonable con
sumption. Mall orders for seasonable goods
are also on a moderate seale. Spring novel
ties In all descriptions of cotton goods have,
however, eontimiod In fair request. The
market for staple cottons continues easy in
tone.
