Cotton Letter.

New York Oct. 23.-The local market opened weak and trading in consequence was on very moderate scale. The feel ing was nervous, and the January deifv- cry sold down to 6 cents for the9first time since September of 1884, The haaYy receipts were responsible in a way for the heavy decline. Afterwards how ever, the market sold even lower to 5.94 for January, then rallying 5.9S@5.99, at which point it closed rather weak. the tone being barely steady. As long az the enormous receipts continue, especially under the existing circums tanass in the south where there is an epidemic of yell low fever in some of the imporant cotton ports and where the receipts would be naturally larger if it was not for these impsdiments, cotton looks lower, and may reach 575 for January. On any further declines. provided, cotton is held after purchasing, it is a good purchase and we are necessarily going to have a better market
 The estimated port receipts for the week are 370,00O bales against about 249, 900 this week last year. UnIess we can have a reduction of these heavy re- ceipts within the next few days cotton looks lower. There was a good day of selling today, and considerable liquida-

Cot.o1 Letter.

New York Oct 23.-The believers In a monster cotton crop and the advocates of low prices have been greatly en- eouraged by the heavy movement or supplies and the drop in prices this week. The loss in value has not been very great. at l.ss than twenty points. But the loss in morals and feeling is se- rious. For the first time in several years January cotton sold in New York below cents today. Liverpool respond ed to the weakness here yesterday by breaking sharply this morning. Our market opened two to four points lower. The demand in the neighborhood of cents was large, but liquidation was very heavy and more than supplied 1t. Receipts were again big. January open- ed at 6.02 declined to 595, rallied to i5.99 and closed at 5.9S to 5.s9, with the tone of the market barely steady. The week closes with a feeling of gloom prevail ing, which is sharsd by almost every one. How little cotton is really worth, aud how certain it is to sellimuch lower, can be heard on all sides. The low price and unsatisfactory conditions in the cotton goods trade, the probability of labor troubles in English mills. the enormous movement and the lack of speculative support added to the gen- eral impression that the south has sue caeded in raising a record breaker, poor crop accounts to the contrary notWith- standing, are the dissuading arguments presented to those who give evidence of friendliness to the market. So far they have been effective. A bull must cling to his belief in an oVeres stimated crop and the knowledge that any change in trade conditions must be for the bet ter, as the basis Of his hopes. Intense and general bearishness is never so great as when prices are extremely low, and we still think that those who make conservative purchases and protect them will not lose money.

New York, Oct. 23-The Evening Pests London financial cablegram says:
 The stock markets were quiet ard steady today, despite the dearness of money. Rates for money on the market again drove borrowers to the Bank of England today. Financial houses are drawing bills on Belgium and Paris, thus raising money from those quarters.
 Americans are steady. Publication of ful details of the correspondence with the United States monetary commits sioner on the silver proposition had a good effect, although the demand for silver was greater than the city had imagined

Chicago Ill. Oct. 2s.-The wheat mar
 kert opened very firm this morning, and
 after the receipt of Liverpool wheat, 115d
 higher on the opening, our wheat mar
 ket took good turn and op ned at 94Ac,
 after which it sold as low as 93s4c, then
 rallied to 94%c, selling around 94c most
 of the session, and on the close sold up
 to 95c per bushel. The upward turn to-
 day was due to further bad reports from
 the wheat belt and better exponl de-
 mand and a decrease in the visible sup
 ply. The foreign demand has been good for the past two days and the shipments have ben very large. There were over 300,000 bushels worked today in New York for export The wheat market looks quite strong at present and the continu-
 ation of good demand for export and bad crop reports will send wheat back to $1
 per bushel. The country generally were good buyers of December wheat today, and the cclmmission houses did their
 share. Realizing by the longs on the opening caused a slight reaction, but furaher good buying soon sent December lrp to 95.
 Corn was rather strong in sympathy with wheat and sold as high as 267s@27o
 
 Provisions were not so strong, owing ito the heavy receipts of hogs and some l realizing by tthe longs in pork lard and ribs The receipts of hogs today were 2S, 900 and estimated for Monday 43,0O0.
 The provision market should be higher in comparison with the grain market
 and if we can get lighter receipts of hogs we can see this market much higher. H. H. SMITH & CO. Stock Letter
 New York, Oct 23-The stock market today was extremsly dull and highly pro fessional There was no pressure to sell and dealings were without significance. l A little nervousness over the report Of the Spanish government to Minister Wooalford caused declines of 1 per cent. and over. Later, however, recovery in many instances was shown Chicago Gas was persistently hammered, but lit tie effect was seen after all. Sugar was barely steady. The stock lost nearly a point, but later recovered this loss and sold a little higher, closing at 144 North ern Pacific, preferred, also declined about a point, and showed little rallying power. The bears seem to take advan- | tage of the weakness and sold rather | heavily. Missouri, Kansas and Texas | sold up aIs high as 35 and looked consid- | erably stronger than of late, but lost its advance and closed at 341s. The gen. eran list seemed quite dull amid hstless | with unusually Night trading, the foreign | market doing little and London closing
 a little lower than our market compara- | lively. Stocks should aM sell higher and | we would advise purchasing on all soft | spots. If any stock on the list should sell lower it appears to be Chicago Gas | which depends entirely upon the consoli- dation. Louisville and Nashville opened at 56B, sold up to 57 and closed at 5o9s' a net loss of 3s per cent. The sales up | to noon amounted to S7,921 shares.
