Gucad prices and other reasons tell very
little with. regard to the futura The

Dress goods in woolens and mixtures
are also in steady demand and the de-
mards for coatings and overcoatings
are much heavier, with prices still firm.
Jobbers are doing a fair business in
seasonable lines, and the distribution in
various parts of the country Is reported
fair. There is a generally weaker ten

New York, Oct. 21-Early dealings in
the stock market suggested that the
short" interest was considerably re-
duced through the sharp rally of yester-
day. There was "a most pronounced
weakness in Manhattan. Sugar opened
off u point, advanced a point and thsn
lost the entire advantage, and talk of
coming competition weakened the mar
ket to some extent. The general list on
the opening and shortly a1,er looked
very strong, but after the noon hour
had passed they were heavily sold and
. consequently lost from l to IL per cent.
The market on the close looks rather
weak, and it would not surprise us to see
stocks considerably lower within the
next week. The CHANGERS, Chicago Gas
and Sugar were carried up appreciably,
recovered it's reactions, however, but on
the close lost the advance and closed at
1875 Realizing again played a notice
able part and caused some breaks in the
stocks. H. H. SMITH & Co.

New York Cotton Market.

New York, Oct. 1.-The cotton market
opened steady at an advance of two
points and further advanced 2@3 points
in the first hour, early cables being bet
ter than expected, in view of the decline
of yesterday. The net advance was re-
duced to 1@2 points by noon, under the
liquidation, later cables not meeting ex-
pectations. Buying by leading Greek
house and by leading Philadelphia
house caused some anxiety on the part
of the shorts in connection with reports
of frose in Texas, Mississippi and Ten
nessee. Covering became a feature in
the afternoon and the market became
decidedly firmer. Private cables stated
that the Egyptian cotton trade was be-
coming alarmed in view of the frost ad-
vices from this side. The market closed

closing figure of 91h@915sc. All cables

denial relative to reports of a reduction
in the estimates of European whsat re-
quirements. However, of more imme-
date interest was the final Nebraska
state report, which said that the win
ter wheat acreage in that state will be
reduced one-third on account princi-
pally of the long drought. This was
the Price Current weekly summary also,

New York, Oct 21.-The cotton market
had a more healthy undertone today.
Early Liverpool cables were shade
easier, but improved somewhat later in
the day. Our market opened two points
higher January selling on the first call
at Clio. After the opening there was
some disposition to buy, and prices ad-
vanced three points further Selling by
New Orleans and local bears caused
reaction, and January declined to 6.09.
In the afternoon there were reports 70
a cold storm in Northern Texas and in
dications of cooler weather. The south
sent buying orders and the loss was re-
covered. January closing at 6.12 10 6.13.
