The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MATKET

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
New York. oct. t0.--It WAS Il day of
surprises and intense excitement in the
local cotton market. The sole object
lie the liquidation of accounts both
ways. Prices declined ) to 10 points
on initial sales. With sentiment bearish
to some extent. AS the later adviceS
from Liverpool We're depressing, and as
the public showed II desire to unload rs
cotton before the bureau report made
its appearance. the market further set
tied 10 points before midday. AZ the
time the bureau figures were published
tile pit was packed to it's utmost. The
simple announcement that the average
crop condition was O. per cent. swept
bulls completely off their feet. and
created n wild scene OF disorder in the
pit. 1t was extremely difficult to find
buyers and prices dropped 4 and .
points at Il time until 9.I5 was reached
for January, which figure represented
n loss OF SO points from last nights
closing bid.
Everybody endeavored to sell long
cotton on get short. with some having
both ends III view. The Southwest un-
loaded large amounts of cotton on the
noon break, While Wall street smother
cd the pit With selling orders. Instead
OF substantially reacting later III the
day on covering for profits the market
continued III an extremely 1ceDle con-
ditiOn, With prices around low water
mark. The trade was stubbornly op-
posed to accommodating additional lines
of Ions cotton in the late session on
the reaction theory, and the market
continued to wabble around the lowest
prices OF the session The commission
house element steadily poured long cot
ton into the pit, as did Wall street
brokers.
The market Mt the close was steady
in tone. with prices net 33042 points
lower.
