had supplied their wants for the present, and
would not again soon be large buyers. The
European political news was more pac , ana

any time TO sell, buying orders having to be
filled on steadily advancing market. Prices
improved to points, with the close at the
best of the day. Receipts at the ports fell
l7.oo0 bales short of last year and colder
weather tonight with frost and freezing tenn
peratures in the northern portion of the belt
added strength to the market and only the
dizziness of speculation prevented further
advance. New Orleans was liberal buyer
III New DIRK ana shorts covered Freely. while
there was considerable buying for invest
ment. Receipts at Houston continue large,
the estimate today being $4,000 to 1900 bales.
which again breaks the record for any one
day receipts The bears say that the heavy
movement in Texas viii continue FOR another
month, possibly until Christmas, and they
were betting today that the Texas crop would
exceed $50 oJo bales or that It would be
nearer 6.'ooVon bales than the d'2W,VN bales.
They say this is peculiar Kind of crop
and that while the frosts and freezes of last
week killed all hopes OF top crop that they
were not figuring a top crop anyway, and
that the yield will be near 100000 bales
without this We DO not think that the
trouble between France and England will hurt
cotton any further. and with any improve
mont in the spot demand or awakening Of
speculation, prices will materially improve.
