SPOTS:

Yesterdays cotton market was rather a
tame AFFAIR. The public seemed almost
obliyious to the ways of the heecy product
anG the talent slightly committed Its
wisdom to the cause OF the bear.
Liverpool seemed a little sensitive on
the scarcity outlook in the English market
and stood firm on the October and Noyem-
Der deliveries, but had no other redeeming
features. Mr.. Ellison offered some new
figures, saying that a II, 500.0o0-bale crop
is necessary to avert an autumn squeeze,
hut that a great denl as to requirements
depended on the price. There was not
much here. however, to be CLEANED by bull.
ish eyes and the entry OF the top crop
theory more forcibly into the situation,
together with a fuli grown movement,
proved a swift conveyance for bearish SEN
tiwent which Travelled most rapidly around
the closing stretch.
Interior Texas ndvlces gave out more
enchanting hope to the top crop advocate
In case Of two weeks Of fair weather. News
from Louisiana declared no top crop can be
made In that State. 1t was doubt In the
most favorable case. however. with the re-
suit in natures keeping. But doubt was
sufficient for bearish purpose and specula-
tion was again frightened. The bulk OF the
cotton in the trade channels was a 'hedger''
to bullish aspirations and though a little
diminished the weight Of its big body was
felt on the price level. The spot holder
was true to his judgment and holding out
more scantily to the taker no losses oc-
Cured in consequence, while Houston adj
vanced quotations 1-l6c.
The trade brooded naught but silence
and procrastlnating spinncrs waited. as II
by custom, to hear more from the voice Of
the later crop omens. This came from
some quarters In bad enough shape to
please any bull. however. More evidence
Of short crop was reported from Georgia
and Alabama, saying it would not he over
80 per cent according TO the opinion Of
some and in many sections over the belt the
crop was said TO have been picked and
fields now are clean.
Liverpool offered little for new deduc-
tiops. Sales on spot amounted to 5000 bales
at unchanged quotations. Deliveries on the
last call stood without change on the Oc.
tober. November option and l down on the
others.
New York opened / point M 10 3 lower
and Immediately gained n point, which was
the highest OF the day. A decline of . to 3
points followed and then a rally to the
first figures, This course was repeated sew.
