REVIEW OF COTTON.
Continuation of Light Receipts May
 Maintain Values.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 7.-tSpeciaD-Liver- pool advces more favorable than looekd for, consequently our market opened to g higher Improved l to additional shortly after on fresh buying, eased off i9 from the top subsequently owing to more liberal re- ccipts, the weakness of spots and favorable weather throughout the belt, closing at net loss of points the day.
 Manchester cables state that the adverse bu- reau report caused sharp advance, developing nervousness as the traders were not prepared for such heavy reduction in condition fresh undertakings at the prices asked are not ex- pected until the outlook has been considered The pessimistic document is not accepted py some, yet it Is admitted that should the re port prove correct, the present course or the market would be largely justified It was more apparent today than ever that the bureau was discredited by the trade advices were re ceived from all sections of the belt claiming that the condition figures were too low and that in a number of States there was rea- tive increase in condition instead of a marked deterioration as reported by the government.
 There are number of operators, however, who contend that while the bureau condition may be exaggerated that the crop is not large and anticipate higher prices.
 Reviewing the situation, 1t appears that spec ulation must come in with an improved spot demand and continuation of light receipts to maintain present values or else prices will gradually seek a lower. level should receipts increase and spinners remain apathetic when it is considered that European textile trade conditions are satisfactory.

TO IMPROVE BEAVER RIVER.
Committee Now at Work and the
Movement TIA kes Formula BILE
Shape Proposition to Make the
improvements Part of Ship Canal
to Lake Erie-Capt. Agnew's Sue
cessor-Other River Notes

A movement has been inaugurated to
have the Beaver River made navigable
from its mouth TO above Beaver Falls.
The result is to be accomplished by q
series of locks and dams and by dredg-
ing. Such a step would open to river
commerce a field of commercial activity
entirely new to that sort of transporta-
ton. The topography of the Beaver val
ley reveals region well adapted TO such
improvements as have been suggested.
The river course is not at all circuirous,
and the accumulation of water, which
is vastly important feature, is rapid
more so throughout the year than on
any other waterway in this vicinity.
The channel from Beaver Falls 10 the
Ohio is underlaid with rock, and what
part of this 1t would be found necessary
TO remove could be used in the construct
i've parts of the work. The movement has
already assumed definite shape and an
effort will be made to secure the atten-
ton and action of the Rivers and Har-
borS Committee of Congress-
1t is the purpose of those interested in
the matter to have the improvements
so made that the river may be used as a
part of the Lake Erie & Ohio canal when
1t is constructed. The tonnage that
would be handled were the Beaver navi-
gable, would be immense.
