faith in higher prices. There is some re- lief to Europeans to know that the amount af1oat for the old world has been increased by the placing of 1S,7H bales upon the bosom of the Atlantic since last Friday. This Is an uncovered factor that will eventually assert itself in the interest Of the shorts.
 The feature of today's market was the publishing of the last weekly climate and crop report that the government will issue this year, the substance of which indicated a light yield, inasmuch as it is said that in the Eastern and Central sections of the belt the bulk of the crop will have been gathered by October 10, the splendid pick ing weather that has been in evidence since the season opened furnishing such a condition Another feature that deserved more than passing notice was the New York estimate on tomorrow's semi-Weekly movement at thirteen principal towns, il placing receipts at 1Gl,000 vs. 13o,00o last year, and 153,00O in 1898, with shipments at S5,OO0 vs. 5000 last year and 103,0OO in 1898 This statement showing the plantation movement to have been smaller than that of last year for the same period is on its face a bullish argument but when It Is known that this crop is supposed to be two weeks late and the insight of the cur rent week of last year to have been one of the heaviest weeks movement of last sea- son, it then takes on a different aspect The amount brought into sight to the close of September as made up by our exchange equals S79,327 vs. 1,11S712 last year; $50 year before and 1,069,l l39 in 1s97

ANOTHER DECLINE ! IN COTTON MARKET Early Gables and Estimates Were
 Disappointing. THERE WAS A SLIGHT RALLY Prices Broke on Renewed Weakness and Closed Steady at Loss of
 from l2 to 22 Points
 Light Trading

New York, October 2.-The cotton market opened steady at decline of 9Q12 points, early cables being disappointing and early estimates pointing to large receipts. Later cables were more favorable, and the move ment to cotton hardly justified the early ex- pectations. Buying became quite general, conspicuously for Wall street account, and prices moved up to points from the open ins.
 Again the feeling turned easier and busi- ness dragged in anticipation of the bureau reports This was responded to by an ad- vance of 203 points, after which the mar ket became positively weak under renewed bear confidence. Prices broke from 9.S6 for January to 9.75 for that position
 The trading was of local character. Re- ports from the southern spot markets showed less aggressive demand and rather more disposition to sell, but in pressure. The run of private crop gossip was favorable. There was no considerable selling in the afternoon on the idea that market had been overbought The market closed steady, R9 2I points lower.

Murphy < Uompany's Stock Letter

New York; October 2.-The stock market was somewhat unsettled in the early dear ings this morning, with very little definite in the way of news, which would account for it's tendency. London influence was somewhat unfavorable, lower prices and small selling orders being furnished from that quarter This mornings information from the anthracite coal regions regarding the status of the miners strike was also accounted discouaging. At all events de- cIines were a common rule upon opening. While minor losses were shown in other directions after the opening, however, the market developed a much steadier tone and in the recovery, Union Pacific was con- spicious, T. c. I. was an active feature among the specialties and showed further pressure at the opening of business, pre- s,,mabIy on account of the uncertainty as to the action of the directors on the divi- dend two days hence. Sugar and Ameri- can tobacco together with the steel in
 dustrials were actively dealt in and were somewhat reactionary also, although they all participated in the recovery after the initial dealings Manhattan was strong and Brooklyn Rapid Transit was steady.
