COTTON LETTER.

! New York, Nov. 2.-(Special.) )-Interest in khe approaching election, which everybody feels involves to a most unusual degree the question of commercial values, overshadow- ed almost everything else in the cotton mar lzet today.
 January opened at SOC, advanced to S14 and closed at S11QS.12, with the tone steady, The feeling has decidedly improved and nos body seems to want to be short when the battle at the polls IS going on next Tuesday. What has especially frightened the bears this week is the figures of the interior move- nent showing a large decrease in receipts, and, what was still more unexpected, re- duction instead of an increase in the interior stocks at the twenty-nine counted interior towns Stocks have decreased GOO bales during the week. This is somewhat of @ sur prise as the interior stocks usually show a decided increase at this season Of the past three years. The increase of the correspond- ing week has been from SO000 to 5O,0o0 bales That we should now get an actual decrease instead of increase proves three things First, a very large and unusual time for cotton at present prices; second, that there has been heavy and compulsory selling by holders; third. that the recent large receipts at the ports have been at the expense of in- terior stocks. These are now very encour- aging conclusions to those who are hoping for lower prices for cotton. We think there is very good reason to expect 8 higher mar ket, and we are inclined to advise our southern friends to be in no hurry to sell their cotton.
