THE COTTON MARKET.
Opened Firm, But Closed s to q
Points Lower.

New York Oct. 19.-The cotton market
at the start to-day showed frmness on.
higher cables and large batch of bullish
reports received from receiving points. spot
markets and crop districts in the South;
but before the day was over there was a
sharp drop in values. The opening was
steady at unchanged prices to an advance
of 2d3 points. Impeled by furry of out
side buying orders, efforts of the bun
crowd and brisk covering, prices contin-
ued 90 an upward course during the first
half of the hour But from then on the
ups and downs of the market were frequent
and even violent with the bear crowd hav-
ing decidedly the best of il. Investors
countermanded buying orders, and in their
stead sold with great freedom. Europe and
the South also withdrew from the bull
crowd. The latter We're disconnected for
time, but later they became more confident
finding there was no general selling for
short account; in fact a majority of the
oversQld traders were seen to be taking
advantage of the lower prices to place
themselves on more secure grounds. The
crop movement more than ever corrobor-
ated late yield accounts. Southern mar
kets were 1-l6d1sc higher in number of
instances. The market closed steady S@9
points net lower.

NAVAL STORES.

Spirits Turpentine-Signs of weakness
were apparent early in the day. and the
opening price was 80 cents, a drop of Y
cent below Wednesdays closing. In the
afternoon some buyers seemed a little anX-
ious, and on sales of 100 casks the market
went up to 50l5 cents, recovering the de-
cline 1t was generally admitted that this
did not reflect the true condition of af-
fairs. however, as was shown by the turn
trading took later.
After the closing there were confirmed
sales of a round lot at 4915 cents, and ii
was understood that few factors were
willing to fall in line at this price. Others
were reluctant about It, however, and
some few talked as though they did not
care to do much business on basis of less
than 80 cents. There was no general sur
prise at the break, as the evidences of
weakness were apparent during the day,
and the result about justified expectations.
The receipts were /. 1856 casks, the sales SOB
casks, and the exports 17S casks.
Rosin.-An advance of cents on grades
G and below was the feature of the rosn
market to-day. These grades have been
going quite freely with the others, and the
advance will not probably interfere with
their SALE On the whole the market was
regarded as firm at quotations, and the
transactions for the day showed consid-
cradle activity. The receipts were 4,S21
barrels, the sales 800 barrels, and the ex-
ports 1,375 barrels. The quotations were
al follows:

DRY GOODS.

New York, Oct 19.-There has been
somewhat less snap to the demand for
staple cottons to-day, but it has still been
in excess of what sellers are willing to
fill It has also been quiet day in the
matter of advances, none of any moment
being named. The tone is, however, as
strong as ever, and there are no definite
indications that the market has reached
its top limit. Print calicoes very firm in
staple lines, but fancies still easy to buy.
Ginghams strongly held in both first and
second hands. There has been no business
in regular print cloths. Wide odds are
strong. There has been no change in the
wooden goods division

Signs of Continued Strength Showed
on Change.

on Change.
New York, Oct" 19-The stock market
showed signs of continued strength during
the early hours of trading and the COW
ering movement among a large outstand-
ing bear interest continued in active force.
The professional opponents of the bears
did all they could TO take the market away
from them by bidding prices, picking out
individual stocks for that purpose to In
crease the appearance of strength in the
market. As the demand from the bears
fell off later in the day, the fact began to
emerge that there was a very eager de-
mand for stocks among the public at large
and prices began to slip downwards. Sec
ing the hestancy of the advance, the bears
took renewed courage and put out new
short lines. The fall in prices was con-
siderably accelerated during the last hour
and the demand to cover at the decline
was sufficient to cause only feeble rally.
The closing was barely steady at the ear
lier gains, were practically all wiped
out The fall in prices from the top level
reached a point or over in a large num-
Der of prominent railroad stocks, and in
some fine Industrial specialties ranged
from ! 10 points.
The railroads running through the South
ern region came into some prominence late
in the day on account of the general ac-
tivity and prosperity of business in that
locality and the relatively larger increase
in earnings shown by its railroads. Ill-
nois Central, Louisville and Nashville
Southern Railway preferred Norfolk and
Western preferred and Chesapeake ana
Ohio all showed benefit from this cause.
and the gains established were better
maintained than at other points Individ-
ual strength was shown also by Colorado
and Southern first preferred. Tennessee
