of cotton to-day: In spite of lowa
prices in the cotton market to-day, gen
eral sentiment was more favorable to the
staple. Liverpool this morning was l-6ld
lower The weakness there was attribut>
ed to a large crop estimate by a we'll
known statistician. Our market, under
the influence of the foreign cables and
heavy selling for Liverpool account opened
from / to points down. After the open
ing prices declined somewhat further A
good demand caused by short covering
and buying by strong houses, absorbed
the offerings, however, and part of the
6.27c, declined to 621c, advanced to 6.26c
and closed a 624c to 6.25c, with the tone
of the market steady. 1t is noticeable
that the shrewdest people here and in
New Orleans are beginning to look with
favor on the bull side. The market may
go lower but every point will be con
tested"

RICE.
The Rice Market.

The volume of business in foreign sorts
is large and strong; points out of the mar
ket for months beginning to call for sam
pies and ordering in liberal way. The ag-
eregate sales since oct ! are 80 per cent
ahead of any similar period the past six
months 1t is. however, not SURPRISING
in view of the restricted movement of
domestic, and that many of the trade who
ordinarily make New Orleans the base Of
supply are compelled to patronize New
York and the Carolinas. The fact that
the gains at this point and along the At
lantic coast are fractionally more than
the loss at New Orleans demonstrates that
there is no abatement of the demand for
rice In spite of enhanced values More
recently there has been a somewhat gem
eral substitution of choice Java in the
place of Japan. The latter shows age, 'as

DRY GOODS.

New York, Oct. H.-The dry goods mar
ket is still inactive in most cotton lines.
The market shows no change except in
print cloths, which have weakened again,
but it is probable that sellers will make
concessions quietly to secure orders of any
moment in staple cottons and similar lines.
Wooden goods are well sustained, on the
other hand, and the demand bids fair to
be active, both on seasonable goods and
fall lines inquiries for which are made
from time to time. Jobbers report fair
business results, but retailers have had a
falling off in trade lately, due to unsea-
sonable weather conditions in various sec
tons of the country.
