mand and upon Krout's refusal laid him
on the top of the hot stove until he was
badly burned. When Krout was about
to be applied second time to the stove

Theodore H. Prices Letter.

New York. Oct. 8.--A serious decline
in the Liverpool Gotten market was
followed during the forenoon to-day by
an exhibition Of equal weakness in the
New York cotton market. Before the
close, however, the entire decline in
New York had been recovered and the
strong features of the situation had
reasserted themselves. The weakness
abroad and in New York is in some
quarters attributed to a rumor persis-
tently current that Mr. NELL of New
Orleans, would shortly publish crop
estimate of 10,500000 bales minimum.
1t is the current impression that Mr..
Neilrs estimate last year was 100000
bales under the actual production, while
for the year previous his estimate was
about 100000 bales over the actual
production. In view of this fact it does
not seem probable that Mr.. NeilPs es-
Inmates will be as seriously regarded
as they have been in the past, and
those who sold cotton on the strength
of the runlor referred to probably did
so because they feared the effect upon
other minds than their own might re-
suit in the still further procrastination
on the part of English spinners who
have already delayed too long in pur-
chasing their necessary supplies.

Murphy a Co... Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct $.-The Increased ac-
tivity in the Liverpool for spots must
not be lost sight of. The fact is that
supplies in that market are too slim,
and have been dwindling for some
weeks. The heavier demand of late
shows a lack OF confidence in a big
crop, and so long as the recent activl-
ty continues there it will be unwise TO
look for any reaotionary movement In
prices, except possibly for a short spell
for the benefit OF the manipulations.
The main drawback to a continuation
of the upward movement has been
the milder weather in the South. Signs
of a higher temperature are having as
much effect Just now as would signs OF
a lower temperature. The market may
and probably will, be worked down
some because of moderation, but 1t IL
safe to look for the appearance of a
cold snap next week in which event II
Is safe to calculate on a rapid recovery
in values and additional advances of
magnitude. Opening prices were at a
further decline of to 5 points. Tired

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Oct S.-The market for
cotton futures opened steady but down
to 5 points in sympathy with the
weakness abroad. After the call good
weather reports and liquidation by the
larger bulls forced prices off to level
of to points under last nights bids.
The South and Europe sold here; COM
mission houses had few orders to exc
cute other than those for liquidation.
Receipts were larger than expected,
though still smaller than for the same
day last year. The early weather re-
ports indicated milder conditions with
clear skies pretty much from one end
of the belt to the other. Noon found
the market in dull, heavy state.
There were small estimates for
to-norrows receipts and liberal buy
ing orders from New Orleans Jan
uary led in a rise of to 8 points on
feverish buying to cover shorts and
support from some of the more conf
dent bulls. But later in the afternoon
absence of public buying caused prices
to settle few points and there was
little on which to base a prediction for
a strong close

and American stocks. which had been
weak in sympathy with the remainder
of the market. At the same time the
early quotations showed American
stocks well below parity with New
York's final prices of yesterday. This
was discouraging circumstance under
which the local trading began this
morning. 1t had been hoped that the
recovery in prices in the last hour of
business yesterday would have been
taken up, and battered in the London
dealings to-day. The trading here for
foreign account was, however, inconse-
quential in volume. Early price move
ments were extremely irregular. The
dealings in Atchison continued to be
the conspicuous feature of the. rail-
road list, and were chiefly influenced
by the bellies that the dividend on the
common stock would be advanced to
4 per cent. Brooklyn Rapid Transit
remained fairly steady around yester-
days recovery, and Amalgamated Cop
per was also steady. The realizing in
Sugar was on a smaller scale than of
late. In the railroad list, aside from
Atchison, the active features were st.
Paul, Southern Pacific, Southern Rail-
way, the Fries and Union Pacific.
After the opening dealings the market
at large developed a somewhat firmer
tone.
