shorts, light foreign support and rath-
er more confident support from the bull
forces. Immediately following the call
this general buying carried October TO
1.f6c, and January to 7.79c, the highest
ngures of the day. Then came a re-
action under profit-taking and selling
by pit scalpers for a turn. The cable
news was considerably better than an
ticipated. Reports that foreign spin
ners were growing uneasy, owing to
the decreasing visible supply, official
reports of general rains over the east
ern and central belt, small receipts at
nearly all points, and bad reports, re-
strained would-be sellers and encour-
aged buying on the easier periods. In
creased demand for cotton for export
in the South. and predictions for a
bullish government report tomorrow
helped to hold the market steady dur
ing the apathy which prevailed
throughout the late forenoon and early
afternoon. The issuance of some 1900
or more October notices early in the
day was unexpected and for a time,
had depressing influence, but this
heaviness was limited almost entirely
to the October position. In the late
session the market was very steady on
covering, and backing from bulls with
the close steady at a net gain of l to
5 points. The January option was
easily the favorite and led in all ad-
yanceS.

vices were somewhat more favorable
than looked for, the improvement, &C
cording 10 cables, being due to bet
ter spot demand, which is likely to
continue for ten days, as it is believed
spinners hold very small stock OF
cotton. Home trade, however, is poor,
and it is not thought advisable to TO-
low the advance. Other correspondents
cable that spinners are simply ex-
changing spots for deliveries. Our
market responded by opening 900
points higher and advanced 1Q2 points
additional on fresh buying. subsequent
ly the easiness of spots forced prices
4 points lower, but shorts covering
again caused steadiness, which was
maintained until the close, when reali-
cation occasioned a slight recession
making the net gain 4@5 points on the
day. Exporters claim spots were cas-
Ter and decided concessions were MADE
to effect transactions and interior mold
e1s w ere anxious to sell. Nevertheless,
no dis?osit'cn is shown 10 sell shor-
speculatlvely, and sentiment Is bulllsh
in anticipation of a ve"y bad bureau
tomorrow. The opinion generally Is
that the condition VIII be about Of'

these views be corroborated revival
in speculation or an improved spot DE-
mand are requisite to maintain any
enhancement in values.

The trading was favorably influenced
by the steady loan of Americans in
London and to small extent also to
the exceedingly gratifying statement
made by the United States Steel Com
pany of it's operations in the past six
months. The figures were published
after the close of business yesterday
and showed net earnings of the period
in question of over $54, 200, 900. United
States Steel declared a dividend of Ia
per cent. on preferred and per cent.
on common. In consequence of this
exhibit, the steel stocks opened about
point above last nights figures, but
receded fractionally on profit taking
sales. In the railway list strong fea-
lures were st. Paul. Atchison, South
ern Pacific, Delaware and Hudson and
Southern Railway. Amalgamated Cop
per was the leader of specialties in a
rather extensive advance. Sugar Re-
fining was active and somewhat stead

there was nothing of importance over

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES.
New Orleans, Oct. 2.-Cotton futures
Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. Am advance of
601S points took place in the early cot
ton market. Increased demand for spot
cotton at higher prices at Liverpool
had a good effect and again there was
more rain in the Atlantic states, where
they have already caused considerable
damage The turpentine generally was
quite mild, and at some points quite
high, but north of the cotton belt it
has fallen, and the prospects were that
it might extend southwark before lang.
Deterioration of crops everywhere
made shorts nervous, and without high
bureau figures for the month there was
little or nothing in sight to help that
side. The forecast was for cold weather
tonight for Oklahoma, Indian Terri
tory Arkansas and Northern Texas.
Absence of buyers led to loss of half
the early advance the first hour. Ca
bles were 1@2 points higher but every
body was holding back, preferring to
be guided by the bureau report to-
morrow. Ports receipts to-day, $4,000
bales, against $4,000 last year. AS re-
CARDS the crop situation, Louisiana re-
ports are that a top crop is of the
question, and that a yield of 900 for
the state is the best that may be look
ed for. Memphis reports are in most
instances disappointing and many cor
respondents say that the best of the
crop has been gathered. Texas reports
crop shorter than at first believed. Re-
ceipts there have been only one-third
of last season and nearly all is picked.
Gins are at times idle, and Mexican
weevils are playing havoc. Some Tex
as gins will not handle over rs per cent.
of last years figure. In view of the
fact that acreage is increased some
per cent there is fear in some quar-
tiers that the bureau figures for the
month may show a better condition
than generally looked for.

poor crop accounts have been received,
giving strength to the opinion that the
bureau report tomorrow will be a poor
one. These reports however, We're not
accompanied by many buying orders in
sharp contrast with the poor crop ac-
counts of last season and the previous
year. Transactions are on a limited
scale, the trade being in a most I'M
decided state of mind regarding the
course of prices. There is the smallest
demand from foreign spinners ever
known at this season of the year. No
speculation on either side of the At

Wednesday, Oct. 2.
The cotton markets continue to fiuc-
tuate in narrow range owing to the
uncertainty of conditions which are
expected to develop and influence the
market later. Futures at New York
closed steady to-day at a rise of l to
points, which was due largely to the
demand from shorts in anticipation of
a bullish bureau report tomorrow.
Spot markets were generally steady,
with business limited and spinners
showing the same hesitation about
taking any considerable quantities of
cotton.
Spots at Savannah were steady, with
sales of over 1000 bales reported. The
feature was the easier tendency of
freights, which inclined to yield on the
slow movement of the crop. Cotton
for through shipment ruled steady
with the demand fair at slight conces-
sons on holders offers.
The turpentine market closed firm
at the decline, with the demand equal
to the entire offerings. Buyers were
in the market for all the available sup
plies at 33a4c, and were understood to
be bidding this for to-morrows re-
ceipts. Resins closed firm and I'M
