Suns Cotton Reuiaw.

New York, Oct. 1.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton rose7 to 10 points early m the day on most months though October and November declined 8 to points. Later points, as compared with the last prices of yesterday, and the close was easy al a net loss or It to IS points, with sales of f22, 800 bales. In Manchester yarns were in moder- ate demand; cloths were easier z The New Orleans receipts for tomorrow are estimated at 6000 to 5000 bales, against 416S bales last week and 5000 bales for the same day last year.
 Spot cotton here was quiet at 1-16c decline with sales of 294 bales for spinning, and IT, 300 bales delivered on contract.
 The port receipts were S4,S76 bales, against 26,295 bales week ago and 4S,523 bales for the same day last year; thus far this week 1l7,3W bales, against 79,2S7 bales thus far last week.
 Spot cotton advanced 1sc at Mobile, Sa- vannah and St. Louis and 13c at Whining ton and Baltimore. Liverpool advanced 3-32d on the spot with sales of 1000 bales. Flu lures there advanced 1a to points, but re. acted and declined points, closing barely steady at a net rise of F a point. New Or leans declined IA to 16 points.
 Today's features: Reports of hard frosts in North Carolina and Tennessee. together with covering of shorts and long buying caused a rise early in the day, but the mar ket then encountered large number of sell was very disappointing, showing only g small advance early in the day The weak point seemed to be Manchester. Its tone was depressed and Liverpool sold heavily in this market. Wall street was also g heavy seller and so was the south, while the continent likewise liquidated on large scale. Warmer weather was predicted al the south, the crop movement was compara lively liberal and good many stop orders were caught on the way down.

The animal is remarkably in telllgent. and those who have schooed s themselves to pass the blind man with out bestowing aims find 1t difficult to re- sist the expression on the dogs face.

 Chicago, Oct. 1.-The situation in wheat was reversed today, the bears emergins- from the contest with flying colors, prices showing decline of 2l5c from yesterday at the close. Probably the principal agent ln causing the change in sentiment was the failure of Liverpool to accord recognition to the closing strength of yesterday in this al the opening and closed at that place. Bradstreets report of an increase in the worlds available supply of 2, 2,S44, 900 bushels, although fully expected was likewise the means of emphasizing the weakness. The final thirty minutes of the session were by all odds the period of the greatest depres- sion. It was during that time that the low est figures were reached, only a fractional Improvement took place. The longs who had wheat over last night and the sellers of puts" who did not relish carrying the wheat that was sure to come on their hands at the close were the heaviest sellers of wheat today, their sales being mainly re- sponsble for the heavy decline in values today. December wheat opened from 62A to 62asc. declined to 60Sc, closing at Gle, 2l2c bushel lower.
 Corn-The trade was unable to detect any new or essential change in the condition of corn. There was therefore no incentive to action, and after declining little through respect to the direction of wheat, the mar ket became slow with compara lively steady tone. May corn opened from 293s to 2YIc, declined to and closed at 29lsc, ssc un- der yesterday Cash corn sold at decline
 Oats-The business in oats was exclusively local and not much of that. May oats closed at $s@12c lower than yesterday. Cash oats were 12c per buShel lower.
 ProVisions-The combined influence of lower hogs and very weak wheat was of great, power to cause products to sink. AT, ter the first trading of the morning had taken place a steadier feeling developed but finally the tone became weak and prices closed at general declines from yesterday. January pork closed 12i5c lower, January lard 71aQ10c lower, January ribs 5c lower.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:
