ra,hott S Pa,mer,s stock Letter

By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York, October 12.-It was somewhat difficult to account specifically for today's ra ther unsettled stock market; that Is, pro- ceeding from the superficial facts in the. case The general circumstances of the day comprised a money situation showing more nrenounced symptoms of relaxation than has been evident for a long time, large number of favorable traffic returns being reported by railways in different sections of the country and furthermore the Soucn African situation was not attended by any pronounced weakness in London. The trad ing in today's market was marked by an utter lack of animation and a general ten dency in prices was a sagging one. out side interests in the market seemed to be al- most entirely suspended and the occasional appearance of weakness that the market showed appeared to be due chiefly to az gressive corporations for the short account. The selling of Brooklyn Rapid Transit seemed to be chiefly for the short account, but in that instance the decline was accom- panied by very positive assertions that at fine approa ching session of the legls- lature vigorous efforts would be made to force the company to place its trolley wires underground. The general decline of prices was not attributable to any defined cause of the days situation. There was practi- cally no definite news bearing upon stocks of any, consequence upon the general situ- atiOn.

Ser lin wheat 1s up Budapesth 3s higher. There has been a stiff advance in English country markets of late. We confirm 20 loads for export. The market was quite active early, advancing sharply, but closing Pc lower than the high price of the day. Northwest were sellers St. Louis houses were on both sides of the market There has been some buying today which looked as if 1t was Tor investment The export demand was not urgent Local sentiment is inclined to be more bearish than otherwise, on the ex- neetation of another large increase In the visible supply, as well as in heavy world shipments. It is a good scalp.ng market
 Corn-Fifty loads for export. Values did not show the same snap that prevailed yes terday and it looks to us as 1T thls cereal was a sale for taking everything into con- alteration. Values seem high enough.

cd to respond satisfactorily to our advance of yesterday, futures there being only points higher at the opening of our mar ket Spots, however. were in good demand at an advance of 1-32; sales, 12,0OO bales. The opening price here was on level with last nights closing: January, 5.7S. The bears could not have this, and in the ab- sence of outside support, hammered the market, declining, English specials assist ing them, and Liverpool closing only l above yesterday. As a result prices lost ten points, January selling at 6.6S. Light port receipts for the day, small estimates for tomorrow's Houston and New Orleans movement. eOO to 2s.00O against 4O,373 last year and 2O,719 in 1897, along with good local spot demand, raised the price of Jam uary to 6.75. While the weekly movement of tomorrow promises to lose something like 900 bales compared with last year, if had no effect on the market, which was sluggish all day. The stand taken by "Old Man" Kruger frightened the bulls less than it did the Lion, even with hostilities on: Trade will not be disturbed much Fall River reports sales for the past ten days to equal two million pieces, and that the supply is small, with prices advancing.

Por- tuguese 3's closed good. Consols were 10S1sa1037s. American securities opened lower, owing to the relapse in New York, but they revived in sympathy with the other markets. Later New York was the chief buyer in this department Closing prices were just under those of yesterdays close. Louisville and Nashville was the chief feature. The Bank of England re- turn was regarded as rather unfavorable, but it had no effect on money rates, which, as mentioned, were easier today.

TnIhNft & Pa mer'S tpItOn L'ttfr
 By Private Wire from l.. De Gumoens x
 Son.
 New York, October 11-Receipts will have to show decided gains pretty soon 1T high crop estimates are to prevail. The ques- ton is Where is the cotton, If made? Re- ports are very numerous of farmers hold ing back but the rise is so great that there Is little doubt of it's being rushed to the market very freely, lest a decline should take place. The market has recovered very promptly from all reactions and confidence in a much higher market appears to be unshaken. War in the Transvaal disturbs some of the bull crowd, but no permanent disturbance to cotton values Is regarded as likely, especially while booming dry goods continue to come in now. The speculative spirit was rather tame this morning. Receipts promised to be half last years figures, but Liverpool lacked as much strength as had 5een expected. The weather news comprised no news, and no news just now means most favorable con- ditions for the crop and must add materi- ally to the yield. Failure of frost to ma- terialize before this date has been a source of great disappointment to the bulls. Prices were to points lower this morning on small Business. Tired holders got out and a few fresh buyers appeared. Spots at Liverpool rose 1-32 and sold to the extent of 12 900 bales. Futures were point higher. Sellers were numerous and bulls rather dis couraged in the afternoon by the weakness in the face of small receipts Selling as- sumed a large scale towards the close, when all support was withdrawn, and last sales showed 9 to 13 points net loss for the day.
