New York, Oct. 2S-While the cotton
market was very quiet to-day II was also
very steady. Public cables and weather
reports failed to make much impression
either one way or the other Private ca
bles were decidedly hopeful as to the out
look for business with English spinners.
The market was generally steadier, due
chiefly to covering on the part of the more
conservative shorts, who feared that the
market had been extensively oversold at
| low prices 1t was difficult to interest
traders in cotton as speculative venture,
because the movement continued very
heavy and some were predicting a new re-
cord for maximum receipts to displace the
record established last week. The mar
ket, therefore, had but little support be-
yond that furnished by the shorts them
selves.
This was sufficient to hold prices, but
not to advance them to any considerable
extent The market was finally quiet at
unchanged prices to points net higher.

New York, Oct. 2S.-Hubbard Bros. e.
Co. say of cotton to-day; THE market
has been listless, but steady, during fore
noon with trade becoming gradually ac-
customed TO present prices Orders TO sell
from the West and South have been about
offset by foreign buying orders. Weather
conditions are entirely ignored and our
cable advices say that frost Is ridiculed
abroad They add that the Liverpool mar
ket Ia steady with a good demand on a
basis of three pence for May; that the
local trade there is bearish; that the mills
have been doing a large business and are
generally under orders at improved prices
and that spinners apave bought so freely
lately that they viii probably now fall
hack llpon their stocks. The trade here
r. waiting some new feature and specu-
lation still holds aloof."
