COLD WEATHER PREDICTED

New York, October 17.-The cotton mar ket opened at an advance of 12Q2O points, Liverpool having advanced 71aDlO-6ls on futures and 1-32 on spot cotton. Indications in the cotton belt pointed to cold weather, and local sentiment was prepared for the frost threats made later by the government. However, the market here was not very well supplied with orders, and prices, after the opening eal showed a reaction of S91O points under selling by parties who were afraid of the large receipts.
 The Southern spot markets failed to give any support, most of them, in fact, declin- ing anywhere from Is to 9s under the press ure of receipts, with exporters and Ameri- can splnners alike showing a disposition 10 hold off for still lower prices. This led to a good deal of irregularities.
 Private reports from the South failed to give much encouragement of any change for the better without continued bullish leadership at Liverpool
 Accounts from the cotton cloth markets were considerably better. with spinners not inclined to make engagements for the re- mote futures. The market for futures here closed steady at a net advance of 13Q17 points.
