LOCAL MARKET REVIEW.
Office Of The Posi-.
Hous. on, Friday, October .

nous on, friday october %.
Another decline in cotton today was
about the only discouraging feature in the
trade situation. Cotton is now quoted at
only 13-16c for mddling on the local
market, with buyers offering 1-16Gl-Sc
less. The continued decline is having n
bad effect upon business, ard merchants
hope that the market has touched bottom.
Farmers are holding the staple in many
sections; this. however, does not relieve
the trade situation to any extent but
rather makes matters worse for country
merchants.
Advices from New York report The gen.
eral market for sugar dull and unchanged.
Local prices are steady at the recent ad-
vance Of Lice. The market la practically

quarantines agains. all Louisiana points

New York. October 22.-JThe dry goods
market is still without feature Of moment,
the only change In the situation being a
slight increase noticed IN bids for export
goods. This is not believed to be any radi-
cal change In the wants OF import BUYERS,
but simply demand at tho moment which
has to be covered. Reports coming from
various sections OF the country show that
distribution Is somewhat freer than 1t has
been for the last few days, but IL js ty 10
means active ir any section. The market
still shows tendencies toward weakness In
all cotton lines. though no openly
avowed reductions IN price have been no
lced. Concessions are. however. made
quietly In many instances where the stocks
are still heavy and the offerings from buy
ers Of weight enough to make an object Of
particular attention In the bidding. Wool
en- goods and worsted In both mems wear,
cambrics and dress goods are rtrong
feature OF the market.

New York Cotton Market.

New York. October 1.-THE cotton mar.
ket started with the advantage of ercour-
aging cable adyices from Liverpool, flu
lures there holding an advance Of 2-6id,
but later the feeling here became weak
and unsettled; liquidation became sctive.
After opening quiet but firm a. an advance
OF 2T4 points prices declined aG'l1 points.
The selling was led by n prominent house
with widespread connections. bur said to
be largely for Wall street account. About
the only support the market had was in
the way OF buying to cover short contracts
The low price OF cotton attracts sood
deal OF attention. but while receipte are so
heavy and while consumers at home and
abroad conhne their ,aktnSs TO actual le-
cessities. investment buying continues to
show marked htsi.ltioa. The market
closed steady at net decline Of 6qS
