Fl. 6 B. Beers Cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 23.-The early i'm provement in Liverpool was due to the scarcity of spot offerings from America, but realizing subsequently occasioned easiness. Our market points additional on the favorable weather large receipts and weakness of spots. closing at net loss of 7a6 points on the day. MT Ellison, in his circular, issued in Liverpool Io.6 66o. 900 and says a crop of | 500 900 American Is necessary to prevent an Autumn squeeze. In August Mir Ellison estimated American consumption this season would be 1 l ,o0o, 900 and from the above it looks as if he is trimming. The statement that crop consumption of 10. 66o, 900 to prevent squeeze in Autumn is absurd. for If we allow this crop and consumption 1t means a surplus of SAC. 900 to be added to the visible on the first of last American at the end of the season would be i.765. 900 against s25 900 last year, and 536,- co Oyear before last After the experience of last year, the world is certainly not going to take much stock in Mir. Ellison's estimate of consumption. especially when 1t is consid- cred that the figures given out by him today make his utterances absurd. The temperature has risen over the northeastern portion of the country and has remained stationary else where, predictions are for showers in sec tions with no marked change in temperature In 1898 killing frost was reported on the 23rd of October and for seven successive days ex- cessively cold weather prevailed throughout the belt that was considered a late and small crop. but it turned out ultimately to be L. 300 900. the largest on record Consequently, if such serious mistake was made then, may 1t not be repeated considering the ideal grow ing weather for the past six weeks and no ma terial frost damage up to the present time. Cn- less killing frost materialzes soon, 1t will be movement. weakness of spots and large hold inEs.

R. M. Scale 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 23-Liverpoo made an unsuccessful effort today to recover and the failure to improve was attributed to tree offerings of cotton from America, while bear fish construction was placed on Mir. Ellson's views stating that consumption was variable according to price, but O. 500, 900 bales of American cotton and l,7oo. 900 of other kinds were necessary to prevent a squeeze in Au- tumn. the majority of opinions at present lean toward a yield much in excess of the figures put down for consumption of Ameri- can and these opinions are being strengthened by the continuance of favorable weather in the belt. combined with some private advices from Texas indicating an improvement in the crop of that State.
 Trading here was mixed, but in the net re- suit the offerings occasioned by liberal receipts and easier spots forced prices gradually lower. Closing quotations are about 8 points under yesterday.
 At the moment the market appears to be completely under the unfavorable influence of tion with the postponement of killing frost. to diminish the quantity of speculative purchases.
 Meanwhile the casiness in the spot depart ment seems to grow apace and aids in reduc- ing confidence in the situation for the time being. Under the circumstances, the outlook for substantial recovery is not promising, though 1t is very doubtful if the regular trade demand can continue in an apathetc state in definitely, especially in view of the good ac- counts of business in cotton goods in this country.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The cotton market opened steady with rrices points higher to points lower and followed a narrow course all day with the general tendency downward unI Ter absence of business. Commission houses were bare of orders and room operators sold out a matter of prtcaution The early Eng fish cables very encouraging, but finding market predisposed to ease off, Liverpool gagged and finished the day at net decline most options Receipts very large and crop reports were more favorable Reports stated that recent fine weather conditions have benefited late cotton in some sections and serv- ing to allow housing of early cotton in prime conditions The weather forecast gave no in dication of frost within the next few days: demand for spot cotton was about equal to offerings. but no more.

All news was bullish save the indifferent drought damage still was prime interest. though in tho markets where this crop is the greatest factor there was no appreciable ad vance. Northwestern receipts still were small, yet this small movement explained away by the statement farmers were too busy to sell. Despite these influences and small prim- n shade higher at 7oik97oss to 7os. There was an early report of continued drought in Argentina, which brought small advance but the firm tone of the pit was more largely due to an advance of trade and some cover ing in the face of light offerings.

SEELEYS AWFUL DEATH.
Whirled About by a Revolving Shaft
in Peckville Planning Mill of
Peck Lumber Company.

George Seeley. the twelve-year-old
son of Mr., and Mrs. Elmer Seeley, met
a frightful death at Peckville yester-
day afternoon at the planning mill of the
Peck Lumber Manufacturing company
Young Seeley accompanied George
Locklin to the mill. where he was going
to get a load of shavings. Arriving a t
the MILL they proceeded to the base
ment of the building, where the shay
ings are dumped. They had with them
a bag which they filled with the shaw
ings and then dumped them into the
wagon. In the center of the room is a
large shafting, which was revolving
with great rapidity. TO get to the
shavings they We're obliged to crawl
under this shaft. Young Seeley passed
under the shaftins, and filing the bags
passed them to Locklin. In passing the
empty bag over the shafting it caught,
and young Seeley, who had hold of the
bag at the time, was drawn upon the
rapidly revolving shaftins. and before
Locklin could aid him the boy was be-
ing thrashed to his death, at each
revolution of the shaft.
The unfortunate boys limbs and
head would strike the floor timbers.
LOcklin rushed upstairs and informed
the mill hands, and the machinery was
stopped.
When the hands entered the base
ment frightful sight met their gaze.
The bleeding and crushed body lay
upon the floor under the machinery.
One arm had been torn from the shoul-
der and lay beside the body. The limbs
We're crushed and manged, the head
being a shapelcss mass of flesh. The
clothing was completely torn off. parts
of which We're thrown about the room.
The place where the accident occurred
is a most dangerous one, as there are
no safeguards about the shaft.
