snn,s Cotton Reu,ew.

New York, Oct. 1o-The Suns cotton re- view says: Spot cotton here was unchanged. Middling uplands, 2 15-16c. Liverpool was unchanged on the spot. Futures there open ed barely steady at 2sponts advance, but reacted and closed easy, with prices un- changed to F a point lower. The exports from the ports were S133 bales. The Chroni- cle states that the weather the past week has been favorable generally for gathering the crop, and that in consequence picking has made rapid progress; that the tempera- ture has been satisfactory as rule and that advices from Texas denote that the top crop has ben benefited. Future prices opened unchanged co points lower, recov- cred the loss and advanced on some months to points, but subsequently reacted and closed steady at a net decline of to points, with sales of 125,000 bales.
 The Liverpool news was disappointing and at the opening prices here were easier.
 Liverpool reacted after an opening ad- vance on the fear of a bearish Neill est- mate and the expectation of a bureau re- port stating the condition at 69 to 70 per cent. However, when the report was re- ceiyed at Il o'clock 1t gave the condition at 60.7 per cent, decline within a month of 3.5 per cent. The condition a month ago was GAP and g. year ago it was 651. This is the lowest October condition ever reported by, the bureau. But the report practically fell Hat. The report induced some buying and prices rallied and advanced slightly, but the buying power was seon exhausted and
 It remains to be seen how Liverpool will interpret the report. The crop movement continues large and the estimate for New Orleans on Monday was heavy. Frosts were predicted for the Indian Territory and Okla- homa.

TWO ENGINES COLLIDE.
Alady Passenger Jumps to the Ground and
 is Badly Injured

About s:sO o'clock yesterday morning. as the Birmingham Mineral passenger train was crossing the main line of the Louisville and Nashville, railroad at Grace's Gap, an extra southbound freight train struck 1t. both engines being dam aged. Fortunately both trains had slow led up or the result might have been very serious.
 Mrs. Ferguson. wife of member of the Brookwood accommodation crew, was on board the Mineral train. She happened to be looking out of window at the time of the collision, and fearing 1t might result seriously rushed to the platform Of the car and umped to the ground. She fell and rolled down the embankment, and when picked up was found to be very painfully injured. She, with the other passengers, was brought to the city on a special and taken to the Wilson & Brown infirmary, where on examination it was found one of her limbs was broken.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.


 New York, Oct. 1O.-(Special.)- )-The bureau report was far worse than had been expect ed, as traders generally believed that the crop had improved somewhat in September When the average condition was announced to be 60.7, against 64.02 at the end of August and 65.01 year ago, prices stiffened little but in few minutes weakened and lost the gain made since the opening. January opened at 7.64, advanced to 7,97 and closed at 7.S4, with the tone steady. This means sim- ply that traders here put no faith in the bureau figures and will not believe them until they shall be confirmed by a perpen- dcula7 falling off in receipts. Our confi- dence In an ultimate recovery in prices is based upon the conviction that such fall ing off is sure to come; but it may not occur for some weeks yet, and until it does occur we fear that the tendency may be towards lower prices. There are special reasons, too why until lessened receipts shall bring trad CTS face to face with the fact that the crop is a small one no material advance can be expected here. New York being the highest market in the world for cotton naturally attract sellers not only of spots. but of fu- lures as well. Even Liverpool when she wants to hedge her purchases in the south is forced to cable her selling orders to New York, as the differences in the months in this market greatly favor sellers, while the reverse is true in Liverpool, Thus New York has for the moment become the dump ing ground of the whole world for cotton; and it would be strange indeed if while the rush of receipts continues our market should be able to sustain the unusual pres sure.
 Under these circumstances, while we eX- pect much higher prices before the end of the year, we see little chance for any mate rial or lasting improvement just now for a time. We would rather sell cotton than buy it.

The Eagle and Phoenix Muddle.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 10.--Among the cred itors of the Eagle and Phoenix Cotton Mills company of Columbus, which failed some months ago, was the Lowry Bank ing company of Atlanta. The bank claimed that 1t had loaned the mills $10,- GOO, and under state law, asked to be preferred by the court, as the loan had been made within six months of the ap- pointment of the receivers. Today the receivers reported that they could find no evidence in the mill company's books Of the loan, President Bigby having made no record of it. If it can be shown that the money WAS loaned within six months of the company's failure and was applied to keeping the mills "a going concern" the court will direct that the bank be made a preferred creditor. The receiv- CTS are still looking for evidence to show what was done with the money.

HAS FLORIDA ESCAPED ?
The Tropical Storm Thought to Have Passed
 to the korthward and Is Rag < ts, ing at HatteraS.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The tropical storm is apparently central to the south of Hatteras and the wind has reached a velocity of sixty miles from the northeast of Cape Henry
 The indications are that this storm Will move northward during the next twenty four hours, causing dangerous winds in the Atlantic coast states north of south Carolina.
 It is probable that the tropical storm will reach the coast to the north Of Charleston and that the southern portion of the south Atlantic states will escape the dangerous winds attending this storm.
 The storm has probably passed to the northward of Florida and is now being felt on the North Carolina coast. Dis tribute information.
