Taibott & Palmer's Cotton Letter

By Private Wire from Fairchild & Hobson.
 New Orleans, September 25.-Liverpool as expected opened at an advance of 4-64 on futures. and went anticipations 31s higher quitting 719-64 higher than Saturdays close. December here opened at 6.32, r points higher than Saturdays close, declined to CPS, when a rally set in and prices were again on the upgrade. All New York and New Orleans bull houses are advising the taking of profits on this rise and await reactions to go in again. We are of the same opinion and would advise our friends to exercise their judgment in the same direction. as the movement this week will only run slightly under the correspond- ing week of last year. and in view of this we think the market has done its best for the present. Our impression, however, is that will very much higher prices during October and for this reason advise the buying of cotton on all depressions Southern spot markets are remarkably firm, especially those of the south. Allan tic states, wherein located so many cotton mills who are buying everything in sight and are willing, we are told, to con- tract for this seasons supply at current rates. The southern spinner Is no longer a small potato and must henceforth be con- sidered important facotr. Out spot market is up 1sc.

 By Private Wire from L. De Gumoens &
 Son.
 New York, September 25.-Southern corre- spondents in large numbers and in every section are taking such a pessimistic view of the,eotton crop outlook that the bull clique which is daily growing in numbers are being more and .mo-e convinced that the crop is going to prove a short one. Some of these correspondents are claiming not over six million for the crop, which. of course, is preposterous Heretofore the idea has ben that ten and half million would be conservative figure and this figure is likely to be reduced. Later on Liverpool will be more susceptible than heretofore to these small crop estimates, especially as trade on the other side con- tinues excellent.
 In the early afternoon the market was heavy. Selling on avery large scale by a leading commission firm was a feature. Receipts assumed afreer scale than indl- cated early in the day and this made hold CTS nervous. A reaction of to points at the last hour was regarded as a healthy sign. Spot cotton here was 1sc higher and various southern markets reported an ad- vance. Receipts at the ports were 54,O0O vs. 41,O00 last week and 56,OOO in 1898. Futures hardened again towards the close and left off at b to r points advance

Talhott lS paimer's Grain Lctter

By Private Wire from Ware & Leland. I Chicago, September 5.-Wheat-Liver- pool closes firm and s higher; London cargoes firmer; Paris wheat 5c lower Antwerp unchanged. Stocks in Liverpool, 3,4S0.OOO, an increase of 152,0O0. Wheat on passage decreased 000O, according to Jones. Beerbohm makes a decrease of 720 GOO. Worlds shipments, about 7750,OO0. English visible increases 1,275,009 American visible increased 40 090. Receipts of winter wheat are quite large at Kansas City, but small elsewhere. Clearances quite large about 7I5, ,000 Possibly twenty-five loads wheat worked for export. There is a big demand for flour, in fact. the trade seems to be waking up to the fact that prices are low and but very little in hand. Millers are busy everywhere At times the market was dull, but there has been an under- current of strength all through the session, which later developed into an active de- mand and better range of prices. There is Q demand for cash wheat from all sources and there are all indications of it's continuance The foreign element has shown more disposition to buy wheat than for a long time previous. and We would not be at all surprised to see Europe In this market as a buyer of large scale. From surface indications it begins to look as if boom in values was more likely, and we look upon wheat as an investment and a splendid purchase around present prices.
 Corn was quite strong. in sympathy with wheat. There is enough shortage for this month to make it interesting. and the price may be worked higher Visible sup ply increased 7i3 0OO On bulges We think December Is a sale.
 Oats were strong and advanced on very good buying. Visible decrease. 1i5,000. We feel very friendly to this cereal.
 Provsions-Hogs were in demand. Liver pool scored an up advance on hams and bacon. The market was quite strong, and we look for decidedly higher prices on all kinds of products, and advocate purchases at the present range of values, as well as on all dips.

SENSATIONAL DAY
 IN COTTON MARKET Bulls Administered Vigorous DrabbinS
 to Their Opponents. SHORTS WERE DISAPPOINTED Prices Took a Leap on First Call and
 Continually ImprtV9d.
WERE DISAPPOINTED
BUYING CAME FROM ALL QUARTERS
Favorable to Still Higher Prices Close Steady at Net Advance
 of l to IA Points

New York, September 25.-Today's devel- opments on the cotton exchange were of a sensational nature. As long as two weeks ago the bull traders asserted that the mar ket was unjustifiably low, considering the character of the crop reports and the ex- cellent condition of the trade in the cloth markets of the world. They at once began ito back up their convictions by purchasing In all the weaker intervals and at times adopting even a more vigorous policy.
 At the opening of the last week, the op- position of the Liverpool market and the European cotton trade in general was added to that of the local bear interest and a battle royal began. But day after day the bull forces scored signal gains, until at the close of Saturday a general raise of 70 points had been recorded.
 Believing the market to be entitled to a substantial reaction, shorts looked for a change of fortune today. But events proved that even worse setbacks than pre- viously experienced were to be met with, and the bulls administered a drubbng long shot up Il to r points and improved fur ther in the first hour. There was buying from all quarters, although notably from the short side.
 Speculation a whole exceeded any sin gle days business in months.
