New York Cotton Market.

New York, October 11.-Specuation in cotton proceeded with caution today. It was assumed that yesterdays decline elim- mated the weaker long interests and cleared the market of that pressure. On this the market opened steady at 1D2 points advance and further advanced 102 po'nts The improving tendency of the market was assisted by the indication of well sustained interests on the part of the English spin ners in spot cotton. The movement or new cotton continues on heavy and burden some scale, despite which the foreign de- mand for cotton shows broadening activity. This condition caused hesitation on the part of the would-be sellers for short account, especially as the yellow fever quarantine remained a factor. The lower price at which cotton is now selling for bids for bear confidence, while it fails to attract attention of the speculative or the invest ment buyers. Some buyers were claiming that the actual spot sales in Liverpool was 5000 bales in excess of the amount oiH- eiallly reported; this would make the total 20, 900 bales, an unusual amount. The mar ket closed quiet and steady at prices one point lower to one pont higher.
