New York, Oct. 1.-THE Suns cotton re-
view says: Cotton fell 10 to 13 points, re-
gained considerable of this and closed
steady at net loss for the day of to
points, with sales of S03 300 bales Liverpool
rose 3-32d on the spot with sales of 10000
bales; futures advanced 3is to points, then
reacted and closed barely steady with near
months the same as last night, and distant
months half a point higher than then. In
Manchester yarns were dearer, and cloths

New Orleans expects 5000 to 10000 bales to-
morrow. against ZOOS bales last week for the
same day, Is. 99S bales last year for the same
day and 794S bales for the same day in 1873.
New Orleans declined points and recov-
cred points ofsthis. Spot cotton was easy,
but unchanged.
Today's features: The news from Liver
pool was disappointing and the decline was
due partly to sympathy with break in
Kaffir stocks in London. Another depress-
ing feature was the large movement to some
interior points to the south, quite a number
of which received more cotton during the
past week than in the same week last year,
the year of the unprecedented crop. to say
nothing of an excess over the receipts Tor

were raised Early in the day the south,
Liverpool, the continent and local operators
sold land prices quickly gave way. The
receipts at the ports We're larger than had
been expected and the crop reports from
northern Texas were more favorable.

perhaps oven 10 miles an hour.
There arc three distinct inventions bo-

two wheels can be applied on each side of

wheels on a locomotive, and one. or two
wheels astern, although it is expected that
one wheel on each side and one astern
will produce a sufficiently high rate of
speed.
The shaft, journal and roller bearings

will, 1t is predicted, comeinto general use
apon all steamships where great power
and high speed are desired, and also upon
stationary engines locomotives, railway
