Cotton Letter.
New York, Dec. 16.—(Special.)—Today’s
market was the dullest we have seen for a
long time. Liverpool was slightly higher
and prices here improved a few points at
the opening, March selling on the call at
8.42, but it soon became apparent that there
was a great deal of cotton for sale, and in
a very few minutes the improvement had
been lost. It became known later that the
offerings which depressed the market were
the holdings of a large Richmond house,
whose failure had just been announced. The
market did not recover from the downward
impetious it received from the Richmond
selling. There was no break or special
weakness, but prices gradually sagged, ow
ing to the prevailing dullness. The close was
quiet and steady, with March at 8.33(f?S.34.
(We think cotton a purchase at the decline.

Chicago ’Change.
' Chicago, 111., Dec. 16.—The visible supply
statement cut quite a figure In determining
fthe value of wheat today. The full conse
iquence of the big increase shown (3.U48.000
Ibushels) whs not permanent, however. Al- I
Eioat all the statistics of Monday were
gainst prices. There was a very noticeable
bsence of confidence amongst tile bulls,
fthe buying being of tho sort that affords
(hut little aid to values. All the trade seein
led to come from local operators, with only
jan occasional outside order. May wheat
{opened at 59%1f59%c, sold between 59%©60c
gnd 5074c, closing at 5B84®5984c, 74©%c under
alurday. Cush wheat was 7*c per bushel
lower.
Corn—At first corn resisted the Influence
lof a weaker wheat market, but later yielded
to it. Within the last hour everything seem
ed in a more encouraging condition, corn
having a share in the general improvement.
Mav corn opened at 2876c- sold between 28
and 28V*c, closing at the outside, 74@74e high
er than Saturday. Cash corn was 74c per
bushel lower.
The buying of oats for short account and
by elevator people was on a liberal scale to
day. The sentiment against an advance was
strong, however, the weakness of wheat
being the potent factor. Slight gains In
prices were made before tho close. May
closed 1/4C higher than Saturday. Cash oats
were Vic per bushel lower, closing nominally.
\ Provisions—There was more assurance to
I fhe buvlng of products today than has been
' noted for some time. Even during the period
of heavy trading in grain there was a ten
dency to weakness. Hogs were firm, but not
quotablv higher. The close was 10@127*c
higher for May pork. 5c higher for May
lard and 2743 Be higher for May ribs.

the company will receive important con
cessions from the city, that bids had been
made for a control from the Interest by par
ties friendly to Traction in this city and
that leading capitalists hod bought back
their stock. Nothing of a definite character
developed except that a long outstanding
short Interest lias taken fright and covered
up. The spurt of activity in Manhattan
effected the bears in other railway Issues,

Sun’s Cotton Beview.
New York. Dec. 16.—The Sun’s cotton re
view says: Cotton advanced 2 points, but
lost tills and declined 5 points, closing quiet
and steady at a net decline of 4 points, with
sales of 120,100 bales.
Today's features: Liverpool came firmer
than had been expected, and accordingly
New York prices at first advanced, due part
ly to local covering and a few buying orders
from Europe. In the main It was a local
market, and not much of It at that Later
on, when Liverpool receded, prices here de
clined slightly. The estimated receipts at
Houston and New Orleans tomorrow are
not small by any means, and this fact Is
attributable, it Is believed, rather to the
usual Christmas cotton movement than to
any lncreaso of supply. The present situa
tion In Europe Is better. Judging from prices.
British consols were higher and financial
nows from London and the continent was
more cheerful. Moreover, It Is believed that
the crop Is very small and that the early
part of 1896 will witness a hotable rise in
prices. They are considerably lower now
than In 1892, when the crop was 6,700,000 bales
whereas the bulls maintain that the present
crop Is something below this figure. New
Orleans and local operators sold this after
noon, however, and for the moment It Is
merely a traders' market. In which the
fluctuations possess no great significance.
