New York, Oct A.-The cable news from
Liverpool at hand this morning was better
than had been looked for and the cotton
market opened with prices showing an adj
vance of 1G2 points, and steady In tone.
For a time the situation was supported
by foreign orders that generally went to
the remote deliveries with May the favor
lite position. The early market was also
helped by claims that Southern spot mar
kets were hardening on foreign demand.
Soon after the opening call however, there
was an abrupt change In sentiment Ii
quotation commenced and the bears at
tackled the market with energy, on claims
that the outlook was worse as TO affairs
between this country and Spain, with Eu-
ropean politics also uncertain. Prices gem
orally worked off 203 points, to the lowest
interval of the day. The decline was as
sisted by earlier weather reports from the
cotton belt and by claims that the move
ment OF cotton next week would be abb
normally heavy. The feeling In the early
afternoon was feverish with fears of
bearish set of cables from Liverpool to-
morrow morning. The market closed
steady. with prices net unchanged TO one
point lower

New York. Oct. 2l-Hubbard Bros e.
co. SAYS of cotton: THE market has been
dull but steady during the forenoon, With
slightly hardening tendency due to the
possibilities of unfavorable weather gs
shown by the report and a better tone
TO Liverpool than had been expected; but
business was very slack and foreign ad-
vices did not lend much encoura cement, al
though the probability OF political compli-
cations was considered quite remote. De-
spite the large receipts the market APP
pears to have halted, but New Orleans
telegraphs that abroad politics are I'M
certain, people uneasy and spinners over
stocked. Recent inquiries in Texas for
merly bullsh are sending bearlish views"
