New York. Oct. Outside of the
print cloth situation no detail of the dry
goods market aroused more than pass
ing attention. The sale Of about $4,000
pieces of extras at Fall River at / 15-1Gc
was not altogether unexpected, but it
was disniriting to operators in the mark

for large time against bids ut this
figure, but were at last compelled to sue

In the local market the demand for cot

COTTON.
New York, Oct. Following the
Weakness of yesterday afternoon our
market opened this morning about
STEADY in tone with near positions un-
changed, and the later deliveries to 3
points lower. Local sentiment was
weak, and later business increased the
decline to 3 TO / points as compared
with yesterdays closing prices. The
more direct influence against the market
Was the rise in the temperature through
out the cotton belt, with private crop
gossip generally of bearish nature.
Traders, however, were disposed to be
conservative. The Liverpool market
showed a decline of / to points for the
day. but English cotton spinners ap-
peared to be aggressive, as they took
$4,000 bales spot cotton. and private
cables forecasted continuation OF in
terest on the part OF the foreign manu-
facturers. Another cantionary influence
was the report of indications of yellow
fever in Mississippi. At the same time
there were misgivings as to the charac-
ter Of the Government crop report to
make its appearance next Monday, all
of which led to covering by some OF
the smaller shorts, which caused a rally
of 2 to ) points. The movement of
new cotton in the absence Of speculative
support was thought TO be rather full,
and there was no general buying on in
yestment account. The market was
finally quiet and steady with net de-
cline of > to 3 points.
