lar to-day with the general level Of prices
higher. The gain at the utmost was 305
points. The improvements was primarily

! Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennes-
see, and even Texas last night. Cables

ularly as to the volume Of business in
special cotton. Liverpool stocks were re-
ported to have increased $1,000 bales dur
ing the week, leaving the amount In store,
including all kinds, at Liverpool 545, 900
bales, against 251 eco bales a year ago. Lat
er the market eased off partially under a
disposition 10 realize, port receipts point
ing TO a heavy total against the movement
OF last week and last year and warm
wave being reported for the northwest.
The market was finally steady at net
advance of points. Traders were inclin-
ed to be cautious on account OF contra

New York Oct 14.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say Of cotton to-day: THE appear
ance of a cold wave over the northern
portion of the cotton belt led to fears Of
frost. and brought some demand from
what appeared 10 be continental sources,
from the Mississippi valley and Texas.
Moreover, selling orders were received
which supplied the demand at the adj
vance; less disposition is shown each day
to anticipate decline as all enter the
frost period, for though many consider the
season IS too far gone to have the yield
seriously curtailed by frost there is, new
ertheless n possibility OF a damage suf1-
cient to reduce the present large estimates
OF the crop. II Is usual al this season of
the year for the next cold wave to APP
pear In about ten days. The movement
Of the crop Is simply gigantic, but without
effect upon prices, as European spinners
each day add 10 their reserves on the
present basis OF values"
New York Oct 4.-Paine, Murphy &
CO. say OF cotton: Liverpool opened
some higher this morning. with sales OF
1900 bales. This caused our market to
open ! to 2 points higher, and as some
frost was reported In the cotton belt,
prices stlffened up or 4 points further,
but liberal sales by the South stopped
further advance and prices receded slight
IT, Houston receipts OF cotton continues
very large. and reports from the entire
belt show but little damage by frost"
