New York Oct. 7-Following the weak
ness of yesterday afternoon our market
opened this morning about steady in tone
with near positions unchanged and the
later deliveries 2m3 points lower. Local
sentiment was weak and later business
increased the decline TO 3@4 points as com
pared with yesterdays closing prices. The
more direct influence against the market
was the rise IN the temperature through
out the cotton belt, with private crop Cos
sip generally OF a bearsh nature. Traders,
The Liverpool market showed a decline Of
1Q2 points for the day, but English cotton
spiuners appeared to be aggressive. as they
took 1000 bales spot cotton and private
cables forecasted a continuation of inter-
est on the part of foreign manufacturers.
Another cautionary influence was the re-
port of increasing indications of yellow
fever IN Mississippi. Al the same time there
were misgivings as to the character Of
government crop report to make its APP
pearance next Monday, all Of which led to
covering by some Of the smaller shorts
which caused a rally of 2qS points. The
movement of new cotton in the alb
sence of speculative spirit
was thought to be rather fun and there
was no general buying on investment ac-
count The market was finally quiet and
steady with a net decline Of 2d3 points.

New York, Oct. Hubbard Bros. & Co.
say of cotton. "Spinners bought freely
in Liverpool to-day, though both public
and private adyices note falling off in
the sharp, eager tone to the demand, so
marked earlier in the week. Locally, the
trade is practically united in a waiting at
titude and not disposed to enter into new
engagements. We do not remember q
year when at this time the merchants
we're so indisposed to do business. the
trade is unwilling to buy, fearing the
result Of this probable second large crop
and will not sell because the price is too
low Investors seem willing TO buy on a
declining market, but as yet this marker
is not feeling any pressure from any
source and the question undetermined is
whether it could stand any selling against
what appears 10 be an ample supply"
