Cotton Letter.
New York, Dec. 27.—Today was notice day
for January deliveries, and the receipts
were exceptionally heavy—far greater than
for the corresponding day in 1894. This was
caused from a combination of depressing in
fluences which the bulls could not stand.
In the forenoon the tone was very weak.
March opened at 7.89 and declined to 7.85.
Hut as the day wore on It was seen that
the anuary liquidation had done its worst,
and prices gradually hardened. The close
was steady, with March at 7.94417.95. The
future of prices will depend entirely upon
tile January receipts. The boars claim to
know that they will be heavy, but they are
not entirely as confident of the fact a3 they
would like others to believe.

Chicago ’Change.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 27.—Trade in wheat, was
about, as slow as It was possible to be to
day ; ■ nevertheless, there was remarkable
llrmness to the tone, and prices held strong
at a slight advance over yesterday. The
start was rather easy, but only a few mo
ments sufficed to alter the direction from
i downward to upward. There were no Kng
f dish markets, and thaJ was a serious inter
ference to trade, but operators wore not
showing a great deal of life or energy any
how. May wiieat opened at 57445714c, ad
vanced to 57a*c, closing at 57%e, V*c higher
ithan yesterday. Casli wheat was steady.
Corn—There was nothing in the corn mar
ket to cause unusual interest, it was quite
ns dull as wheat, and probably more so.
[Under the circumstances it was not to !>e'
expected that there would be any breadth
(1to the range. There were no Liverpool ca
[ [ides and very little information of any sort.
TMay corn opened at 27%c, advanced to 27vh4jJ
\ 28c, closing at 27;feC, a shade higher than
[vyesterday. Cash corn was <4o lower.
9 Oats—At infrequent intervals a strong
f order mude its appearance In oats. In eacli
l ease it received the respect to which it
r dwindled. The market was dull, and very
' little change took place in prices. May oats
closed a shade higher than yesterday. Cash
oats were tic lower.
Provisions—An extremely moderate trade
look place )n products. At the beginning a
strong hog market imparted a firm feeling,
which was lost subsequently through the
disposition of packers and professionals to
espouse the selling side. Nothing in tho
news or business was worthy of special at
tention or mention. At the close May pork
/was 21/i#5c lower, May lard 2>,4c lower and
May ribs a shade lower. Domesttc markets
were quiet, but steady.

In Wall Street.
New York, Dec. 27.—Stocks were weaker
itoday. At the opening London was a seller,
and the cables reported a general decline in
American railway securities abroad. Fol
lowing this $2,000,006 of gold was engaged
lor shipment to Europe tomorrow, and this
had a disturbing effect on the marginal
holders of stocks. Besides this, the street
was Inclined to take a less hopeful view of
(the prospect for financial legislation at
.Washington. The result was a general de
cline of % to % per cent in the first hour of
trading. In the downward movement Su
gar, the Grangers, Louisville and Nashville,
Manhattan, the South westerns and New
Jersey Cenral were most prominent. At
the decline brokers representing the bear
operators were liberal purchasers, and the
early loss w’as recovered. Chicago Gas was
especially strong at this time, and advanced
ito 67%c on the decision of Judge Bischoff
In the Whitner case, which, it was claimed,
(removes all legal obstacles in the way of
(reorganizing the company. In the afternoon
trading Baltimore and Ohio showed great
weakness, and under liquidating sales fell
Ito 33. The final transactions yesterday were
at 40%. The break in the stock was due to
the revival of the rumors about an impend
ing receivership and an issue of $10,000,000
of new preferred stock, providing for the
floating debt and other purposes. These
reports led to selling of Western Union, and
this stock fell from 86% to 83%, the argu
ment having been advanced that if the ru
mors about Baltimore and Ohio were true,
the company would necessarily have to sell
fcts bloqk of telegraph stock. Pittsburg and
[Western preferred, in sympathy, fell 2 per
eei\t to 18. The general list held well for a
/time, but finally the depression in Balti
more and Ohio and the decline in Western
Union had a demoraliz!»g effect, and in the.
last half hour there were liberal sales of
til Uiu leading issues. Speculation closed
weak in tone, with prices anywhere from
l fco 3% per cent lower for the day.
The sales of listed stocks today aggregated
167,761 shares, and of unlisted stocks 65,404
shares.
Bonds were weak. Sales footed up $1,859,
000.

rency, $102,69*1.410.

ual business in bankers' bills at $4.87%f*4.88

Sun’s Cotton Review.
New York, Dec. 27.—The Sun's cotton re
view says:
Cotton declined 8 to 9 points, then recov
ered this and advanced 1 to 2 points, closing
steady wlLh sales of 271,600 bales. The port
receipts today were 49,370 bales, against 48,
770 bales last week. Spot cotton here was
(pilot and unchanged.
Today's features: The bears thought they
had two strong cards to play—big receipts
and a big issue of notices—but in the end
it was found that the bulls held the trumps
nnd the bears only a very modest hand, af
ter all, for the receipts at the Interior towns
were much less than had been expected;
and as for the January notices, although
they amounted to about 20,000 bales, about
10,000 were stopped, and the rest were
stopped by the people who Issued them—
Greeks, ermans and Inman, Swan & Co.
Some took them and sold March. The up
shot of the whole matter was that, after
declining for a time, the receipts turned
around and advanced and closed with a
small net Improvement for the day. The
bears have been relying on chances of a
calamity lately, and have oversold them
selves, so that the market does not require
much of a jog to move It upward. The
friends of cotton still maintain that the
crop is considerably less than 7,000,000 hales,
and that any increase In the movement next
week or next month will be merely tempo
rary, and that if the bears rely upon it as
something permanent they will bo led as by
a will-o’-the-wisp into a bog.

Dry Goods.
New York, Deo. 27.—The passage of the
, tariff bill through*the house of representa

i comment in the dry goods market. It is
i not conducive to the resumption of business
i at tlie moment on a more liberal scale, and,
with but a few spot buyers around, moder
ate mail order business today has been on a
modest scale in all departments. The tone
, of the ^market in all directions has been
without change, and there has been no
movement inu prices calling for attention.
Reports of collections are generally favora

the woolen goods trade frequently recorded.
