New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 3.-The market for spot cotton opened with very good demand today under the stimulus of better Liverpool market During the afternoon the market was active and firm under the influences of the Bureau tcrop condition report. Buyers entered the market freely and purchased readily at advances of h to B. Sc. forcing the record of sales up to 4. 600 bales of spots and 2.5Oo bales to arrive. At the close of the day the Exchange Committee on Quotations reported the market firm and hc higher all grades.
 During the first part of the day there was clearly spirit of unrest in the market for contracts. Considerable trading indulged in and at the opening prices were 2d3 points higher under the influence of the early ad- vances in values at Lverpool but evidently bull trepedition just prior to the receipt of the Governments crop condition report sent the figures steadily downward until the record showed a loss from the initial figures of the day covering 9af9 points on the entire tier of months. At c. IT.. the Bureau report came in fixing the average of condition for the crop at 6 4 and immediately there was rush to buy prices going up like rocket. the first sales showing gains of 5 points on Octobers, IS points Marchs and Decembers and l9 points on Januarys. Following this there was a drop of 2 or 3 points, but sentiment veered around again and during the latter part of tlfe day the course of values was steadily toward higher level. There were occasional slight fluctuations and when the day ended the rec ord showed net gains yesterdays closing of 26 points on October 2 on November, 22 on December and 23 points on the other posi- tions.

Receipts were 8 cars
 Wheat followed the lead of corn in a weak market December opened a shade to h0kc higher at 69d69hs on better cables and on the buoyant feeling in corn.

 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 3,--ContinuAd heavy sales of spots in Liverpool serve to confirm the condition of foreign spinners as represented by private cables to the effect that they are dis playing uneasiness the scant stocks of raw cotton in their possession and persistent alarming crop reports from America. ilie com ment. however. indicated that speculators abroad were still imbued with the idea that q large crop Is inevitable. Initial transactions here were effected at a slight advance. but prices subsequently eased of on selling by timid longs who feared the usual result of the bureau report. This day proved an exception to the rule, however, for while there were many who thought that the condition might have fallen low GA, there were few prepared for an average of 6I 4, an actual deterf- oration of 10 points in the crop during Sep teu,ber. announced by the Government. The effect on prices electric. immedi- ate advance of 24 points following the report and after some fluctuations occasioned by Ions realizing prices gradually worked higher. Closing quotations are 2i@23 points higher than yesterday.
 Considering that foreign spInners have al- ready evinced anxiety to replenish their stocks, it would be surprising if this condition of the the Government Bureau failed to stir up great activity the other side especially in view of the light movement and the apparent disposition of the South to exercise moderation in seiiing.
 Attention is accordingly directed to Liver pool and any evidence of increasing apprehen- sion among spinners will surely influence a 1ib- eral speculative demand to the further benefit of prices.
