New York Cotton Market.

New York, October 5.-The cotton market continues to show a moderate amount of recuperat1Ve energy, but lacks consider able volume as to speculation. The bear element found influences at the start to- day very much against them, the most inn portant of which was an advance of 1-32d' in the price of spot cotton at Liverpool and exceptional activity on the part of the Mahehester spinners Among other fac tors were buying orders from abroad. Re- ports that stiffening rates were being en- tertained by southern spot cotton dealers, further rains in the northern portion of the cotton belt. and a marked drop in temperature in the southwest. The smaller shorts became nervous and covered as far as practicable on the opening. First sales were at an advance of 2 to points and for the rest of the session the general ten- dency of the market was towards a higher level or values with covering the princi- pal feature of the speculation. The off, hcial weather bulletin attracted attention and fndicaated the formation of another cold wave in the Dakotas, which took on almost the proportions of a blizzard. The fact that the temperature at Amarillo, Tex, had fallen an additional IA degrees caused even the more confident bears to become uneasy. especially as the forecast rom Wash 'ngton was for still lower tenn l perature throughout the southwest tomor- 1 row In the afternoon the more active lotoieS duNanced 10 points, and cloSed firm with a net gain of to points.
