Murphy 6 Co., 's Grain Letter.

Chicago. October 19-The tone of both the local and western wheat markets continued steady this morning with a fractional recession on profit taking by recent buyers. The comparison between receipts and exports. however remained favorable to stability in values, and for this reason there was no attempt to sell for decline In prices. The export move ment is some 100000 bushels over last year for the season thus far, with buying of wheat along lines that leaves very lit- tie actual pressure in the future market. In the northwest receipts were 662 cars. against 696 cars last year. The winter wheat movement this season has amount ed to only 30,0O0O00 bushels, against 39,- 100000 last year, due to low range of prices and the damage to corn that has increased the value of wheat for farm purposes. In the west reports continue favorable to the market while news from Argentine revealed no improvement in crop prospects. Liverpool closed un- changed today, with the tone reported firm. On the fractional decline here new buying orders appeared and advanced the level over last nights closing level.
 Corn ruled rather weaker today, with a decline of Ao. There seems to. be consid- erable support for December corn at 56c, but on an advance buyers take profits, hence no advance is expected.

generally bullish and long of cotton. there was not enough buying at the mo- ment to advance prices in the face of the increasing movement of new cotton. But from the weather map there are earlier frosts than for some years back and this will tell in the end. Cotton may work a little lower on larger receipts but we be- lieve there is money in buying cotton be- low cents. It will not be long before the crop movement will indicate the yield and we do not believe reports from the South are wrong as regards the light yield.
 There is nothing in the outlook to indi- cate a bear market, and we believe the situation is now as 1t has been all along, a bull market. It has taken some months to bring cotton to cents, but 1t is cents,

Cotton Letter.

Lee & Co.'S Letter to H. D. Cothran & Co.
 New York. October 19.-The market broke below cents this morning, making the decline full quarter cent at one time. This is about the reaction expected and from now on cotton should be pur- chase for better prices. The decline met with considerable resistance from out side sources, the buying on the decline being rather extensive. News this morn- ing was of two kinds favorable and un- favorable. Very low temperatures in many parts of the South. heavy frosts in many parts of the South with heavy frosts in the Carolinas and the the ther
 mometer below 70 in the Atlanta district proved stimulating and prices did not break as much as the trade expected on the decline of to points in Liverpool. On the other hand an increasing move ment of cotton with heavy port receipts and the prospects of larger receipts next week weakened the market considerably. With commission houses and the trade

The Coffee Market.

New York. October 19.-Spot Rio strong; No. invoice, 6ss; mild steady; Cordova, 71sQ11. Coffee futures opened steady un- changed to 5 points higher and for @ brief time gave little sign of activity or special strength. But more bad crop ac- counts came to hand and shorts once more turned to cover while bull interests bought large blocks with surprising con ndence. Prices quickly responded to this demand, at one time being 30 to 35 points above the closing of yesterday Selling TOT profits near the close cut down the advance somewhat but the general ruling or the market held firm with the close steady at net rise of 20 to 25 points. Foreign market news was bullish, receipts were less than expected and shipments to the United States from Brazil were light. Demand for spot coffee in the street market was very active with prices higher to the basis of 6M for invoice to this of No. Rio. Total sales 72.0 GOO bars

 and Lower Tempera-
 lures In West.

New York. October 19-The cotton mar ket opened easy with prices to points lower under active selling to liquidate for short account and to hedge against spot purchases in the South. Following the call the market was very feverish and irregular with the tendency downward in the absence of aggressive buying for new accounts. Heavy port receipts and weak Liverpool cables were responsible for the early selling movement. Other news av- eraged up buliishiy; frost again appeared over the eastern belt and lower tempera- lures were shown on the chart for the middle West. The weekly crop weather review of the Chronicle again foreshad- owed a short crop. Nevertheless there were evidences that the market was not broad enough to absorb the offerings made by spot cotton interests for hedging purposes. Wall street and the west bought near months on the decline; Eu- rope sold.
 The market closed steady net 5 to ! points lower.

New orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, October 1e.-There was not much trading in spot cotton today, though offerings were large and well as- sorted, and factors were fires sellers upon relatively easy terms. The purchasing element is not only held back by spin ners' limitations, but on its own account is encouraged to await further develop ments ere moving actively in the pur- chase of supplies by the continued easing off in prices and the increasing apathy among spot buyers In the Liverpool mar ket. The sales today were 2100 bales, in- cluding HOO to arrive Quotations were unchanged.
 The market for contracts was compara- lively inactive and uninteresting today, the heaviest movement recorded marking the opening hour after which the ring side became measurably quiet. and be- yond an occasional squirt of trading of- fered nothing in the nature of an attrac- ton to the investing classes. Lower Liver pool led to opening losses of to points. After the first call values backed and filled over a range of 2 to points either way. but there was no decided effort made either by bulls or bears to force the pace in any given direction. Private wires reporting killing frosts in North Carolina and resultant damage to the crop were exhibited at the ringside, but the effect was not startling. As the net result of the days trading there were re- corded losses of to points on the near months and to points on. all positions beyond December.
