GOOD DEMAND FOR COTTON FUTURES Prices go 6 Points Higher on
 Local Buying PUBLIC OUT OF THE MARKET Free Receipts Cause Decline, But a Reaction Soon Sets In and the
 Market cIoses Very
 Steady.
 
PUBLIC OUT OF THE MARKE7 l

New York. November S.--The market for cotton futures opened steady, with prices 2@6 points higher on spurt of local and fair foreign buying, started by unex- pected strength in Liverpool and reports that trade conditions on the continent and at Manchester were improving rap idly.
 There was little public buying. however. and hedge selling by yesterdays buyers
 of spot cotton in the south soon filled up
 the initial demand. From this out the market was dull and easy. with prices off to 7ss for January before midday. Free receipts at the ports and interior towns generally favorable weather conditions. and forecast for slightly higher temper atures in the belt for the next few days tended to discourage buying. On the de- ciins prominent room bears sold freely for a break to below the bottom figures of yesterday. But early in the afternoon con- servative operators quickly picked up moderate lines of the late months on the belief that the market was heavily over sold, and that the long interest had been | eliminated by the recent decline. Near | the close Wall street and commission
 houses bid the market up easily, and | forced the shorts to beat a hasty re- treat Bears feared another sharp bulge l in Liverpool tomorrow and were made
 additional uneasy by predictions for a l much smaller movement next week. Trading was comparatively small. taking | the session as a whole, but reflected a | healthier tone to business.
 The close was very steady. with prices l net 1Q6 points higher.

Murphy S Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, November s.-The stock market fell considerably behind the record of activity of yesterday, but nevertheless the transactions were quite good. Profit taking sales were most pro- nounced in Union Pacific and St. Paul and were at one time 12s above last night, but lost ground for the day. On the other hand buying of New York Central con- tinued on an extensive scale and the price rose over per cent Missouri Pa- cifc was strong feature and Pennsylva- mia, Rock Island and Illinois Central re- fiected the widening of the demand for high class investment issues. The bull demonstration against shorts in Atchison was conducted further today with good effect. Louisville and Nashville was more active than for some time and scored maximum gain of nearly per cent. This movement was regarded as merely be- lated recognition of the investment merits of this stock. The shares of the soft coal carrying roads were strong features and the buoyancy of Atchison aroused new interest in M. K. and IT. preferred, St. Louis Southwestern and Wabash issues. Some of the usually neg lected railroad stocks were strong. fn- cluding Chicago Eastern, Illinois. and Wheeling issues and c. I. and l.. steel shares were decidedly strong although their net advances were not large. The general market closed somewhat heavy at reactions from best prices. Govern ment bonds unchanged, railroad bonds strong and active.

New orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, November 8.--A very fair inquiry for spot cotton was noted today. During the afternoon the market stiff fened up a bit, in sympathy with the re- covery in contract values and buyers operated rather freely at board prices the sales for the day making a total of 6S50 bales of spots, including 250 bales sold on f. 0. b. terms and 1900 bales to ar rive Market firm; prices unchanged.
 Trading in contracts during the early hours was far from brisk today, but there was enough doing to keep ring men on the qui vive for openings and many an honest penny was turned-both ways-by the ubiquitous scalper. The first call showed gains of 2 points on December and declines of to points on all other positions. After the first call there was occasional upward fluctuations of a point or two. but always followed by a reactive decline that sent the figures a peg lower. During the latter part of the day some- what better feeling prevailed and prices were worked up several points all along the line. The appearance of profit taking on the short side. however. attached to the upward turn since there was not a feature in evidence calculated to inspire the bulls to renewed effort. Toward the close the m arket was lacking in anima- ton except at the final round up and when the gong sounded the comparison with yesterdays figures showed a net gain of but a single point on each of the several months.
