Murphx 6 co.,s Stock Letter.

New York, October 3.--Stocks were ex- ceedingly irregular today. Stocks of the same general classification moved in con- trary directions in response almost alto gether to purely technical circumstances. There was an absence of any fresh de- velopments of importance over night, and the trading was taken up pretty much where it was left off at the close of busi- ness yesterday. The most active feature was Brooklyn Rapid Transit Among the industrials, American Car and Foundry continued conspicuously weak, and the United States Steel issues were dealt in somewhat below yesterdays final figures. In the railway list Atchison common was the active feature and was heavy with out any particular gossip attending it's course. Other fairly active features were New York Central. St. Louis and San Francisco. Southern Railway, Union Pa- cific and St. Paul. London sent in lower prices for American stocks, but the trans- actions here for foreign account were in too light volume materially to affect values. Little or nothing of interest bear ing on the stock market transpired over night.

COTTON MARKET
 OPENED STEADY About Four Points Higher to One Point Lower Level PRICES GAVE WAY LATER The Early Firmness Was Chiefly In the Near Months, as They Had
 Special -emand in the
 Way of Covering.
PRICES GAVE WAY LATER

New York, October 3.-The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices points higher to point lower. The early firm ness was chiefly in the nearer positions as they had a special demand in the way of covering. Later the market gave way and prices sold off 10 to Il points, with January declining to 7.esc. The decline was sullefi and slow; not much business was done at the low figures. At noon January cotton, the speculative favorite was dragging at 7.6s17 .6sc. Then the gov ernment report was read giving the con dition as GA. Immediately the widest excitement prevailed as this meant a de- cline of 10 points for the month and the lowest showing for a term of years.
 Enormous blocks of cotton were bid for. The upward movement did not stop until January touched s.02c. The selling was in most cases by parties who had profits in sight and were willing to secure them. There was some selling. however, for short account. The market eased off only a trifie at the close and was finally steady in tone at a net rise of 21 to "A points. Trading was very active all the after noon, with the total sales estimated at 2O00 bales, or the largest in some months.
 New York, October S-Cotton steady; middling 5-16c, sales 20 bales, stock 76- 552, exports to the continent 200, to France 1239 rf
