THE COTTON MARKET.
Future Market Closed Very Steady

New York, Oct. 24-In to-day's market
for cotton futures speculation was at no
time active, while fluctuations were re-
stricted to range of but points In
vestors manifested almost total indffer-
ence and room traders were reluctant TO
make decided stand in view of the con-
fusion of ideas prevalent and an absence
of decided change in the crop situation.

Liverpool. Within the first fifteen min

Of the session ruled uneventful, with the
pit most of the time almost deserted. The
bear element derived some comfort from
the unfavorable foreign news, the knowl-
edge that the outside long interest was q
formidable obstacle to successful bull
speculation and the reluctance shown by
outsiders to further load UP. Favorable
features of the market were bullish state
ments from the cotton belt, these confirm
ing rumors that Northern spinners were
seeking supplies OF raw material on a
large scale and that exporters and October
shorts were also in the market for almost
unlimited lines.
The future market closed very steady at

LETTERS ON COTTON.

New York, Oct. A.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.
say of cotton to-day: "Our reaction of
yesterday found quick answer in Liver
pool. When a decline and a quieter market
was reported on our side the extremely
light movement checked at once any dis
position 10 look for further decline. The
local traders turned buyers advancing
quotations without difficulty as no one is
desirous of opposing any advance. The
outside demand has not been so conspic-
uous to-day while the policy of taking
profits on market which represents so
substantial profits TO almost every holder
of cotton continues. The rally was slow
ly lost during the midday hours on this
liquidation, which must provide the SELL
ers, as no one dares TO be short in view
Of the light movement throughout the cot
ton belt Either the consumption i'm
Great Britain has been overestmated or
Manchester must become an active buyer"
New York, Oct. A-Murphy & Co.'S cot
ton letter says: Liverpool declined 1-32d
spots. with sales of only 5000 bales. Flu
lures 3-6id lower, which gave our market
an opening of to points below last night,
but under influence of small receipts prices
hardened again some six points. There Is
not much business doing at present, and
transactions have been fewer TODAY than
for some time. The continued cry on shoT
crop with the small receipts deters shorts
from selling, while these facts with, good
trade in this country encourages buying.
From Liverpool private advices are not en-
couraglng. Manchester it is said, is be-
ginning to feel the influence Of a famine
in India and TO some extent is reselling
cotton in Liverpool Europe sold to-day
as contracts have proved to be a good pur-
chase heretofore on all soft spots. so to-
days prices representing about 20 points
decline in the last four days has induced
some local covering and buying for the
long account. Weather in the South is IA
Vorable for adding TO the crop"

price indicate that buyers do not prob
ably look for further material declines at
present. Cotton ruled quiet and unchang-

Death List Is Twenty-nine, and

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug S.--The NUM-
Der killed by the trolley accident of
Sunday, when car plunged into
Peck's mill pom, is now known to be
20, while of the dozen injured three
may die. George Hamilton, the mo-
torman Of the ill-fated car, was ar
raigned in the Stratford justice court
last night charged with manslaughter.
He pleaded not guilty and the case
was contiued for one week. The pris-
oner's bail was fixed at $4,000, which
he furnished.
The coroner's Jury made thorough
inspection of the trestle and its ap-
proaches yesterday. The structure ap-
parently Is substantial. Representa-
tives of the jury measured the distance
which the car ran after leaving the
irons, as indicated by marks and scars
on the ties, and found it to be 85 feet.
The generally accepted theory Is that
the car was running rapidly when 1t
reached the trestle and was swaying,

elastic rails of the bridge it jumped the
track, and there was no guard rail ade-
quate to keep the car from going over.
At the south end of the bridge is an
earthwork approach $50 feet long, with
three per cent grade. The bridge ex-
perts who accompanied the jury said
that a car running rapidly over this
earth approach would acquire
springy, swaying motion, because OF
the elastic properties of the earth. II
car travelled down the approach at
high rate of speed they said it would
at the time the trestle was reached be
swaying considerably. So long as 1t
remained on the earthen foundation
there would be little danger of leaving
| the irons, but when the bridge was
reached the elasticity of the founda-
tion Immediately would be removed,
the bridge being rigid, and the tenden-
| cy would be for the car to spring up
from the rails.
The car, which had sunk In the mud
beneath the bridge, was removed and
carefully examined The wheel flanges
were found to be In perfect condition.
| The brake and brake rod were also
uninjured. The brakes were set. The
condition of the lever by which the
power to run the car is regulated show
ed that at the time the car left the
bridge the power was turned complete
ly off.
