New York, Oct S.-rhe Sun S cotton re-
view says: The general drift OF prices was
downward, owing partly to a decline in Liver
pool and partly to an increased crop move
ment and long selling for New York and
southern account. The weather at the south
was cool and it is believed that more or less
damage has been done by the recent low
pool were unusually large. and the state of
trade in Manchester is favorable. The clos
ing prices here, after irregular fluctuations,
were one to three points lower than yester-
day on near months, and four to five points
on late months with the tone quiet, and sales
of 1856, 800 bales. Liverpool declined four to
five points and closed barely steady, with
spot sales OF 2UCO) bales at easy prices. In
Manchester yarns and cloths were strong.
The receipts at the ports were 1910 bales or
with Port Royal included, 54,072 bales against
rg luvr 1sRCH lot
The total thus far this week. not counting
Port Royal, is 191 100 bales against 18O,53l
thus far last week. Exports from the ports,
6,0l9 to Great Britain. Spot cotton was steady
and unchanged, with sales Of 1852 bales for
spinning. There was a decline of 1-16c at two
OF the southern markets and 1s03-16 at one of
them. New Orleans sold 1850 bales and
weak, but without quOtable change. New Or
leans receipts tomorrow are estimated at
5000 to 1900 bales against 7,716 bales on the
same day last year In New Orleans futures
advanced early, but later on declined to
points"
New York, Oct 18-Riordan & Co. say of
cotton: Liverpool declined so sharply to-day
that lower market here was generally eX-
pected, but, to everybody surprise. our
opening was at an advance, the first sale of
January being a. S.46c. and the demand being
50 active that before the call closed the price
had risen to S.0Oc. After the call January ad-
vanced to S.52c, and though prices yielded
few points, the market remained pretty
steady during the forenoon and higher than
yesterdays closing. But towards the close
the market showed signs Of being topheaVy.
The news from Washington was not hopeful
and free selling by holders Of long cotton
anxious to unload de pressed January to sale.
The close was quiet at slight recovery from
the lowest, S42c being bid for January.
Everybody admits that cotton on its merits
ought to advance, but the very unanimity of
this sentiment is an element of weakness
and the dread of another business panic being
forced upon the country by the shameful de-
lay of the Senate hangs over the market like
a nightmare and outweighs all the influences
that ought to give us a rise"
