Cotton Lattar.

Cotton Letter
 New York, Sept. 12.-(Special )-This has been week of rather wild fluctuations in cotton, the extremes including range of about 50 points. Today the decline of 7-64d in Liverpool caused a further severe break here. There was heavy liquidation of long cotton, the decline being accelerated by stop orders and exhausted margins Jan uary opened at S26 declined to SIS, rallied to S.35, but again broke in the last fifteen minutes, closing easy, with January at 8.25. The final slump was caused by reports of g. Turko-British war scare. After the close prices were somewhat. easier.
 The adverse influences which have caused the severe reaction in prices are: First, the heavy movement of new supplies, which shakes the faith of spinners in the serious character of the crop damage; second, the grave uncertainties of the political and trade outlook; third the financial troubles in New Orleans. which many fear will grow more serious; fourth the extent of the weakly nargined long interest, which had lately become top heavy and which was a constant menace to the market; flfth,. the chance that England may became involved in a war over the Turkish question. This last may be needless scare but if it should prove to have any foundation it would doubtless seriously depress the prices of cotton.
 This array of influences against an ad- vance is very formidable one, but to offset these we have the small visible supply and a crop shortage, which we believe will reduce che yield below S,0O00O0 bales. These are powerful factors and unless we underesti- mate the crop are likely to give us in the near future higher prices than we have yet seen.
