Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire to Sledge Com Co.,
 Birmingham, September I7.-Various influences of bulish nature were set in motion in the cotton market today with decidedly beneficial effect on prices. Llv- erpool was moderately good and created a steaddier tone on this side which was subsequently, stimulated by a combina- tion of developments. Frost was re- ported in the northwest which was ex- pected to bring unreasonable weather to the South. The weekly government re- port again indicated very unsatisfac- tory condition of the crop especially in the central belt where rust and shedding Is freely complained of and serious injury Is aid to have resulted from excessive rains. Warning of a severe hurricane ap- preaching the central Gulf coast occas- stoned alarm as to the possibility of 1t extending into the interior and causing further crop damage. The Galveston News published report indicating the Texas crop to be 30 per cent less than last year, or the equivalent of yield of about 2,700, GOO bales for that state and Indian Territory. Estimates of receipts for New Orleans and Houston and the movement to the ports were light by comparison All these features coming to notice In rapid succession occasioned a material change of felling for the better, and while speculation was restricted by the recol- lection of recent events the demand ac- corded was sufficient to establish a sharp advance. Closing quotations are about twenty-one points higher than yester- day

 STOCK STRENGTH

 Rise-closed Steady.
MONEY MARKET WAS EASY

New York September f7.-The occa- sional strength on the stock market was not very convincing, and as the day prog ressed proved less and less so. The market closed distinctively weak, with practically all of the early gains completely wiped out. and the average level of prices well below last night. This was perhaps A natural reaction from the violent rebound of prices yesterday. The. artificial stimu- lants which were applied to the market yesterday to maintain it aginst expected pressure were withdrawn to a consider able. extent today, events having demon- strated that they were not needed. Sup porting orders continued in the market today, and there was considerable ma nipula'tion also for the rise. This was par ticularly evident after the reaction in prices, which felt the opening dealings The recovery had the effect which was probably designed of checking the dlspo- sition to realize on the present traders. A number of special stocks were in reserve for a demonstrative upward movement The influence on the general list which was exercised by these tactics, was taken
  financial interests, which bought to sus- tain the market yesterday, and in the slump of Friday The large reduction in the short interest, which was caused by the buying to cover, forced by yesterday $ advance, made itself manifested in the ? Liverpool demand for stocks from that source. While yesterdays rally had . served its purpose of restoring confidence So far as that had been lacking regarding the effects of the untimely cutting off of the chief magistrate, the condition of the ' money market and othef considerations tended to repress speculation normal to --this period of the year.
 The money market continued easy, as reflected in the lower rates for call loans under the influence of the disbursements by the sub-treasury, but the relief in this quarter had the natural effect of steady ing the exchange market. and the expec- tatlon that announcements would be made today of engagements of gold for import was disappointed.
 The exchange rate, however, hovers near to the gold import point and for eign bankers are making constant catcu- lations as to possible profits on a gold movement Londons change of position in our stock market from the buying to the selling side was an added influence In SleduylnB excnanSe rates. The StOckS Se- lected for the bull demonstration were St. Paul. Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific sugar. the New York Fractions and Western Union. There were various min or stocks which rose a point or more Amalgamated Copper was persistently weak, and encountered heavy selling on the early rallies.

Cotton Letter.
 c. ". Lee & O. 8 Cotton Letter to H. D.
 Cothran & Go.
 New York September 17.-There was decided further improvement in cotton this morning under the Influence of heavy rains in the south, a poor weekly report and predictions of further rains tonight The frost line reached the state of Ne braska, which was further south than at any time during September last year. This turned attention to the frost ques- tion, and brought a large number of shorts into the market. January advanced sharply and sold at 35 points over Fri days figures. As long as the storm sig nals are upon the gulf coast an excited market can be expected On all market theories profits should be taken on an ad- vance tomorrow morning. but we do not believe in selling cotton short at this sea- son of the crop. Should weather improve an easier market Is to be looked for. But 1t will be a dangerous market to sell for we may witness another Galveston dis aster" as far as the effect on the market is concerned.
 Crop accounts from the many portions of the belt at present are very unfavor- able at the moment and this has changed sentiment to a considerable extent. Short covering continued throughout Ahe day, as the fear of big storm In the Atlantic states brought buyers into the market. New Orleans ruled firm and higher with October there about the same as here With a good demand from splnners and spot markets steady, there was general impression that prices might be advanced further before the movement closed.
 News at the moment is not favorable and there seems to be nothing in the out look to justify short selling.

Murphy e Co.'s Stock Letter,

New Yoruk, September 17.-Virtually nothing that was new was presented for consideration upon the opening of busi- ness in this mornings stock market, and the trading was deprived of the special influence provided yesterday from the very pronounced strength of American stock in the London market. The early cable messages this morning showed small and irregular changes in prices and the operations for foreign account were for small volume on both sides of the mar ket. The trading was, however, in fairly large volume and was well distributed, as a rule, slight declines resulted from the early dealings, but there were a number Of exceptions to this tendency. St. Paul and Union Pacific were active features Of railway list and were dealt in at the opening at about yesterdays final price. The Erie issues were rather reaotionary as were. the Southern Railway shares. The Atchisons also showed the effect of the reduction of the short interest in that stock. Central and Pennsylvania were both steady, but dull. Among the special ties. Copper reflected pressure while Pa- conc Mail was decidedly strong probably in connection with the knowledge that the policies of McKinley's administration would be continued by his successor. The local traction issues were steady, particu- larly for Manhattan. In the industrial quarter the Steel stocks were heavy on the sales usually following the announce inert of an expected event which in this instance was the settlement of the steel strike
