NEW YORK, Dec, 6. 'OTTON—A mutual truce existed in today's market between bulls and bears, while the speculative pub- lic maintained its attitude of masterly in- actlvity. Influences at work were not of vital importance and left no room for the fori fon of new conclusions. No effort vas made by either side to dominate prices, hich, accordingly followed a narrow rut. The market opened steady, with initial sales showing an advance of 2 points to a decline of 1 point. For a long time there was barely 1 point additional variation and up to midday the market was sadly neg- lected by the trade in general. In the early afternoon the situation was brightened a liit'e by room buying and scatiering pur- chases for outstde account, on which prices improved several points. Spirited trading, however, at no time obtained, and at mos fluctuations were slow and destitute of spe- clal significance. Spot closed dull; m! dling uplands, 10 middling gulf, 10 salen, 180 .

There is a good demand for stock bulls and the market is good and strong. There e not many western range , though several cars of Texas tuff arrived which sold at just about steady prices.
