New York, Oct. l6,-The Suns review says:
In almost every cotton state there was frost
and in many sections of the south there was
killing frost. The temperature in some parts
of the Memphis district was 30 degrees, and
in Mississippi it went to "a degrees This
news, together with large sales in Liverpool
at some advance and a further improvement
in many Of the spot markets and moderate
receipts at the ports, caused an advance OF l6
to II points, but rumOr that a firm at the
south had estimated the yield at 7,775 600
European operators caused reaction. The
net improvement at the close, however, was
to IL points and the close was steady.
Warm weather Is predicted for most parts
OF the cotton belt Receipts at New Or
leans tomorrow we're estimated at - COO
to "a, 600 bales, against 1900 bales on the same
day last year. The trading here was on a
very large scale, and was attended with con
siderable excitement. Sales of 3l5C0) bales.
Liverpool advanced 3 to 31a points and closed
firm, with spot sales of l4000 bales at I'M
changed prices. In Manchester, yarns We're
quiet but firm. cloths were steady. In New
Orleans, futures advanced 10 to IS points, but
lost it. Spot prices here were 1sc higher.
Sales of 500 bales for spinning. There was an
advance Of 1-16 to 1sc at the large southern
markets. New Orleans sold 10 900 bales. The
receipts at the ports to-day were 50,7lS bales,
against 30, 4S0 bales this day last week and
5S,925 bales last year Total thus far this
last week. New Orleans receipts to morrow
are estimated at % 600 to $4,000 bales, against
l5,Q0O bales the same day last year.
New York, Oct 16.-RiOrdan & Co. say of
cotton: The news of killing frost in the
Mississippi valley and in several other parts
of the cotton belt had chilling influence
upon the bears to-day. Prices opened about
10 points higher than Saturdays closing, Jan
uary selling on the call at S57c. For a time
the demand to cover shorts was very lively,
and further advance of points took place,
January selling up to Sole, but when the
active demand from the shorts had been in a
measure satisfied the uncertain feeling about
the future, caused by the failure of the Senate
to pass the silver repeal bill, reaSserted itself
the buying force seemed exhausted, and
the market gradually eaSed off 10
points from the highest. January declining to
Sole. The close was steady with s.5Sc bid for
January. Under ordinary circumS tanceS the
rise to-day should have been 40 or 30 points,
but nobody cares to embark in fresh specula-
tive ventures, however, promising. with the
imminent danger OF a renewed money panic
confronting him, and we can only renew our
advice'to our friends, as long as obstruction
continues to triumph in the Senate not to be
too sanguine of any lasting advance, but to
accept profits upon every rally
New York. Oct. 16.-The strong market for
raw cotton, resulting from the disappointing
proportions of the movement and low tenn
perature and recent wet weather in the south
is giving a certain kind of firmness to all
kinds of cotton goods There is fairly act
i've movement in cotton goods. with brown
sheetings, on the basis of four yards, at
45Q456c., three yards at 54@5Ac.,
and standards at G096lsc., and sometimes
614c. or even higher, on occasional sales,
Shifting quiet, sheet1ng steady, tickings in
reduced supply and fairly active demand,
t1annels quiet, and curtain goods barely
steady, Prints and printed fabrics quiet,
with spring goods coming into New York slow
ly. Printing cloths firm and tending upward,
ginghams and woven wash fabrics moder-
ately active and steady. Dress goods and
woOens neglected. Foreign dry goods are
dull in a general way. Jobbing trade is
rather more active, but still quiet with hest
tation. the conspicuous mood of the trade in
