the the sEvak, 473,9 ,954 vs 360 SiS, while large was nevertheless under early expectations, as port receipts for the S23,000 fell short of last Saturdays estimate by 10000 bales.
 The interior movement, 316,00O, the largest of the season for any one week, vs. 3l0,oOO last week, shows that there has been no let up as yet in the plantation movement, which is a forerunner of another large movement to the ports and consequently another heavy weeks insight TOT the com ing days that vii be compared with movement of 376, 227 bales that came into sight for the corresponding week of last season. Therefore, with a continuance Of this fine growing weather and an increas- ing visible supply, lower markets would seem to be in order. In that part of the belt west of the Mississippi river the movement is on the increase. Houston re- ceived for the week 119,313 vs. 1lSO42 last week, and 72,9 ,953 last year. In the eastern portion of the belt that section that saved the day for the bears by maturing early receipts show a tendency to diminish, but as we said before the southwest is making good this shortage in a liberal way Liver pool closed unchanged on spots, sales 5000 and three to four points up on futures.

THE COTTON MEN
 IN A OUANDARY
From the Augusta Chronicle

From the Augusta Chronicle.
 While the cotton market is on a slow de- cline, there are those who still have faith and argue that the price will advance. The bears are pinning great faith to the top crop as a further depressing agency on the price, and are acting in accordance with this view.
 Some samples of the top crop. gathered in this vicinity, are now on exhibition in this city, and it is claimed that if the top crop throughout the cotton belt is as good it will have the effect of increasing the to- tai crop about a million bales. The time of the first heavy frost also exerts a strong influence on dealings in cotton. late frost is taken to mean much larger crop than is now figured on, and the reverse is looked for in the event of killing frost before November 10.
 MT H. J. Lamar of Macon whose letter appeared in the Chronicle of Tuesday, still clngs to his belief that cotton will sell at 15 cents before July. In another letter to the same gentleman in Augusta he says:
 Dear Sir-If China were fully in the market now for our cotton and cotton goods the price would now be 15 cents. When it does come in later the price will be that and more. This question not being answered by me in my letter to you today, by oversight, beg to submit the above.
 Since writing you l have seen notice to the effect that Secretary Wilson, of the Agricultural Department at Washington, has stated that the cotton crop is three million bales short, and that the new crop schedule to be gotten out by November 15 by the department would give true esti- mate which would knock sl1y-high the commercial estimates made for Specula- tors and for the bear element at that.
 'He says: The commercial estimate is perverted for speculative purposes. A near ly accurate estimate is obtained, but the public is misled for speculative purposes. Trt. tt,{ s..ln apd t1,a ,Dric should rise. The plan of the speculators is to bear the market until cotton passes from the hands of the producers
 "The department is now working to head off the fraudulent estimate, which is q fraudulent one. gigantic in proportion, and made to cheat the farmers out of their just rewards of their years toil'
 Yours truly, 'H J. LAMAR"

STOCK MARKET
 WAS IRREGULAR Underwent Many Changes of Sentiment During Session LEVEL OF PRICES HIGHER Weakness Was Due to Profit Taking, But the Final Rally Gave Strong
 Tone-Bonds Were Active
 But Sympathetic

New York, October 26.-The stock market underwent many mutations of sentiment to- day, but on the whole came through the days ordeal well and the average level of prices was higher as result of the days trading. The market was very irregular from the opening, and during the session the reactionary tendency fairly got the upper hand, carrying prices to well below last nights level. The extreme range in the most active stocks was from l to over points, but the final rally reduced net changes in nearly all eases to small frac- tions. The weakness which overcame the market was clearly enough an incident of the digestion of profits. The force of the final rally showed the professional opera tors ventured to sell shorts pretty freely also.
 Wall street had it's daily report this morn ing of StupendouS new combinations in the railroad world, this time relating to South ern Pacific. The Vanderbilt interests 1t was said had secured control and all problems of competition and rate cutting were forth with to be settled.
 The coalers broke sharply on a report that the Reading Company would mine tS it's full capacity A number of the iron and steel stocks declined from l to 1ls points, They were affected somewhat by the re- ports of the deep cut in prices of steel rails made by British manufacturers follow ing a cut made earlier in the week by tier man producers
 The late rally was led by Missouri Pa- cific, which was rushed up points above the level without any news to account for the rise. The fall in the call money rate tc per cent. and the manifest relaxation in the pressure to realize encouraged the advance Preliminary estimates of the weeks cash changes by the banks promise a large decline in cash reserves.
 The action of the call money market re- lieved apprehension and suggested the in ference that the banks must have further contracted their loans so as to reduce the reserve requirements during the week. Only about s4, ,OOO0 900 of gold of the S11, 100000 en- gagged for import was received in time to figure in the statement the balance being in transit
