G00DWEATHER CONDITIONS

New York, October n.-Cotton futures opened easy with prices to g points lower and continued to decline most of the morning under heavy liquidation. started by very weak Liverpool cables and heavy receipts pretty much all over the belt There were few supporters in evidence and before the selling movement gave any signs of letting up January had broken to 7.so. or more than se a bale from the best price of last Friday Eu- rope. Wall street, commission houses and room longs devoted entire attention to disposing of cotton purchased. a large part of it. above cents. Good weather conditions over the entire belt and slight ly lower Southern spot markets added to the heaviness of the market. Private cables from Liverpool declared that the weight of actual cotton from exporters on this side had caused tho weakness there. Soon after the noon hour the mal.- ket gave signs of being oversold and in position to rally with anything like moderate support The room. however. was slow to buy again on account Of free estimates from Houston and New Orleans receipts, but fresh bear pres sure sent prices back to nearly the low est level of the day with the market finally easy and net 16 to IS points lower. Total sales were estimated ot 300,00O bales. Port receipts were larger than cx- pected but offset to some extent by fur ther enormous clearances those for Sat day and today overlapping port receipts during the same period last year, causing a large loss to port stocks.

New orIeans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, October H.-The week opened with the market for spot cotton exhibiting 8 pronounced heaviness and with values lower by very nearly if not quite hc than those officially posted on Saturday. Factors appear measurably disheartened by the constant develop ment of conditions inimical to their in terests and are now offering their hold ings freely at the level indicated above. Sales, s76o bales including 47bo to arrive. Quotations Mc lower. Trading in the market for contracts was of moderate proportions today while prices. under the influence of unfavorable conditions at Liverpool and the weight of a very weak local spot market fell away heavily. The English trade set the pace by cutting away an additional 2-32d on spots and 4-6406-64d on deliveries October l.. M. C., were of S-64d, and on this side New Or leans was six to ten points lower than Saturdays figures, During the afternoon the market continued to decline until a further loss of four to five points had been recorded. At that time there was considerable profit taking by room shorts, who made things lively for a while and succeeded In forcing values up became quiet again and remained so well on to the end of the day, when the com parison with Saturdays figures showed net declines of seventeen points on De-, cember and fourteen to sixteen points on all other months.

The opening was officially described as steady in tone and at an advance of 25 to 35 points on general buy ing while the selling was scattered and chiefly by parties who were satisfied with their profits. The factor in creat- ing this upward movement was the fur ther testimony from Brazil indicating g. crop shortage with some representatives having 1t that the total Santos crop was a failure. European markets were also excited and decidedly higher as Havre closed three francs net higher and Ham burg 2@2h pigs. above Saturdays close.

ARKANSAS COMMISSION REPORTS.
Annual Statement Is Filed With GOV.
Davis,

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. 24.-The Ar
kansas railroad commission filed its an
nual report with Gov. Davis SATURDAY
Relative to railroad building it says:
During the time covered by this re-
port encouraging progress has been mace
in the construction and extension OF rail-
roads, running into practically new and
undeVeIoped sections of the state. Inc
White River railroad, a branch OF the
Missouri Pacific SYSTEM, is being bullt
from point north of Batesville up the
White river in the direction of the zinc
fields of Northeast Arkansas.
The st. Louis and North Arkansas rail-
road has been extended from Eureka
Springs to Harrison a distance OIL some
forty-five miles, and the construction is
being pushed with Marshall as the pres
ent objective point.
Tie Ozark and Cherokee Central rail
way, the Fort Smith Western railroad,
the Arkansas and ChoctaW railway and
the South Missouri and Arkansas railway
have also made considerable progress IN
construction.
Upon the whole, the conditions seem
to have been reasonably favorable to rail-
road building, and costly Improvements
are constantly being made in the tracks
and equipment of the long lines.
I'VE have seen no good reason to re-
cede from the position taken in the first
annual report, with reference to addl-
tional legislation needed to make the
commission a more efficient agent in
producing the results for which it was
created. With this end in view appro-
pirate bills were drafted and introduced
in both houses of the last legislature, but
failed of passage. We feel that no use
full purpose would be subserved by bring
ing these bills upon the record at this
time. This, however. will be done in a
SnbSPQlIpOt rpnOTt.

GRAIN TRAFFIC LIGHT.
Milwaukee Got Bulk of Business
Last week.

CHICAGO, Dec. M.-Grain traffic of The
Western roads was lighter last week than
In any week during the past six months.
The total amount of grain brought here
during the week was 100000 bushels, a
decrease of 100000 bushels from the cor
responding week of last year. The de-
crease is attributed to the very cold
weather, which checked delivery of grain
Mt country stations and prevented engines
from hauling as large trains as usual.
The ST. Paul railroad had rs per cent of
the grain traffic last week, the North
Western q per cent, the Burlington 16
per cent the Rock Island 8 per cent, the
Three T. per cent, the Illinois Central
per cent, and the Santa Fe per cent.
East-bound shipments of grain last
week were 100000 bushels, an increase Of
1900 bushels over the previous week, and
Of 7SS,000 bushels over the corresponding
week CT last year. Flour shipments were
l90,395 barrels, a decrease from the pre-
ceding week of 14,176 barrels. Provision
shipments-packing house products
amounted to $3.50 tons, u decrease of S45
tons from the shipments of the preceding
week, but gain of 2791 tens over the
iame week of last year.
