H. & B. Beers's Cotton Letter.

Special to The Advortiser.l
 NEW ORLEANS. Nov. ll.-Selling against spots and freer offerings from American in huenced Liverpool unfavorably. and our mar ket, in sympathy, opened 5d6 points lower, declined points additional on realizing and the continuance of fine weather throughout the belt, closing at net loss of 6G9 points on the day Manchester cables state that while there was a slightly steadier feeling in cer- tain directions last week there was no appre- ciable increase in the volume of business. The increased crop estimates and sagSing ten dency of prices dampened negotiations. mak- ing all large operators cautious about future transactions. Many who bought largely on the expectation of farmers and merchants holding back in Texas are disappointed, be- cause. notwithstanding they were correct in assuming that such policy would be pursued, the movement from other sections is sufficient ly liberal to the ports to offset the decrease from that State. as evidenced by the receipts during the past three days. which are lo5, GOO. against e5 900 last year. The exports to Great Britain during the same time are S6 900, against 25 900 last year. The fact that such large quantities of cotton are aloat for Liverpool does not make 1t very encouraging, especially when coupled with large daily spot offerings from America. Owing to the ideal growing and picking weather the general out turn of Texas is now calculated to be largely in excess of figures current three or four weeks ago. From present indications 1t looks as If values will gradually seek lower level unless checked by a material decrease in re- ceiptS.

 IRx SnAcial Leased Wire

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-The recent steadiness of Liverpool has partly disappeared as a result of heavy arrivals of cotton in that market and cables today intimated that spec ulative support was comparatively exhausted while continued offerings from the South were exerting an unfavorable influence As the course of prices was dependent largely on the attitude of interior spot holders and better feeling had been established on the belief that more moderation would be exercised henceforth in offering sales. the information today that pressing offerings from Southern markets continued served to discourage sup port here. but in view of the fact that for eigners have shown disposition to buy lib eraly around 4 pence, bears displayed no az gresiveness and very quiet condition pre- vailed in consequence. Opening transactions were effected at decline of points and clos ing quotations are about points lower than Saturday. P
 According to the weekly foreign trade re ports large crop estimates had much to do with discouraging active transaction in man. ufactured goods in Manchester. But 1t is not only abroad where large crop ideas exist. On this side there is a growing tendency to ex- pect a heavy yield as a result of protracted pleasant weather and this belief is being stimulated by the persistent determination of country spot dealers. to sell at prevailing prices. Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that the market is more inclined to recedo in ready manner from any improve ment

MARKET FOR FUTURES LIQUIDATION CAUSES A DE-
 CLINE IN VALUES. At the Close of the Days Trading Prices Were Of 2 to II Points. Speculation Light Through
 out the Season.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The cotton market opened easy with prices 497 points lower and continued to decline after the call under H. qufdation of a professional nature on Satur-
 days late bulge and selling by bear lead CTS. The basis of this trading was weakness in Liverpool where spinners were selling
 hedges against c. l. F. cotton While there was a sharp reaction to 74e for January later in the morning, the market failed to show re- cuperative energy of consequence during the early session and at noon prices were back to the opening figures. Large port receipts,
 offerings of print cloths by Borden in Fall River at lower prices, generally favorable
 weather conditions in the belt and scarcity of public buying orders made 1t easy for the bears to keep prices below Saturdays close.
 A forecast for unsettled weather in the easter n belt and for colder temperatures in the west ern belt tonight had very little effect in tho afternoon when exporters sold the market down to the lowest figures of the day. Wall Street bought around 74o for January in the last hour and some bulls picked up a little cotton on rumors that Southern markets were stiffen- ing As an offset to a large estimate for to-
 morrow's New Orleans receipts, Houston pre- dicted a very light movement at that point,
 with private advices declaring that Texas re- ceipts from now on will continue light, Trad ing was unusually light pretty much all day and for the most part comprised professional operations of an evenng-up character. The market closed steady. net 7@ll points lower.
