New York, Sept. 25.-The Suns cotton re-
view says: NO frosts were reported in the
cotton belt and Liverpool was IL SIS active and
lower Selling for New York, southern and
European accounts caused a decline at one
time, however. Prices were to points
higher than last night owing to further pre-
dictions OF frost in the a Olinas and GeOr-
gia, cold weather in Tennessee, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Louisiana and the covering
OF shorts. But the drought in texas was
broken by very heavy rains AM the imam
clal news was not encouraging. 1t is feared
that there will be long delay
in settling the silver, question and
many nervous bulls sold out, There was
brisk speculation, with the final prices to IL
points lower than those Of yesterday, the clos
ing sales being 1900 bales. Liverpool de-
clined to points, with spot sales OF 10000
bales. In Manchester yarns were quiet and
steady. New Orleans was points lower
Spot prices here are 1-l6c. lower, with sales OF
$50 bales for spinning. There was decline
of l-l606c. at three southern markets, and
3-l6c. at Charleston. New Orleans sold 1900
bales. Receipts at the ports were 2S 3l3 bales
against 1855 this day last week, and 1924
last year. Thus far this week 81 1855 against
A, 6O6 thus far last week.
New York, Sept. 26.-RiOrdan & Co. say Of
cotton: Liverpool to-day seemed determined
to play waiting game, but our market was
actively changeable and exceedingly nervous.
January opened at S.36c. The bears, however,
were very uneasy about the threatened frost,
and during the forenoon the market not
withstanding liberal receipts at the ports,
was pretty firm. January advanced to SAC
and 1uctuated between that price and S.37c.
When the weather bureau forecast was
posted about noon, predicting for tonight
only light frosts in few exposed localities
along the northern edge OF the cot
ton belt, the market lost point or
two, but remained for some time steady
at the decline. On the announcement little
before o'clock that the receipts at Calves
ton and New Orleans tomorrow would again
be heavy as compared with last year the tone
became distinctly weak. A great deal of
cotton that had been bought earlier in the
day was sold out and prices gave way point
by point until January had sold at S.27c. The
close was easy. with S27c bid for January.
The bears we're jubilant this afternoon and
seemed confident of further decline tomor-
row. But the market is liable just now to
sudden and violent changes, and though it
may go lower, we consider short sales at this
juncture extremely hazardous"
