A NET RISE OF TwENIY-f0UR POINTS
Nv the Associated Press.)

New York Oct. 3.--Cotton market open
cd steady with prices A points higher to
/ point lower. The early firmness was
chiefly in the nearer positions as they
had q special demand in the way of COW
ering. Later the market gave way and
prices sold off 10911 points, with Janua-
nv declining to 76S. The decline was sui
len and slow: not much business was done
at the low figures. At noon January cot
ton the speculative favOrite, was dragging
at 7680D69 Then the Government re-
port was read giving the condition as 61.4.
Immediately the widest excitement pre-
vailed as this meant a decline of ten
points for the month and the lowest show
ing for term of years. Enormous blocks
of cotton were bid for. The upward
movement did not stop until January
touched S02 The selling was in most
cases by parties who had profits in sight
and were willing to secure them. There
was some selling, however, for short ac-
count. The market eased off only trifie
at the close and was finally steady in
tone at a net rise of % then "a points.
Trading was very active all the after
noon with total sales estimated at ESQ.,
600 bales. or the largest in some months.

followed with four classes shown. After
them were the trotting stations. George
