B. M. Scale & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. I8.-The ostensibie composure of Liverpool in the face nf cur rent developments is one of the very puzzling features of the cotton situation. Notwithstand- ing that the stock of American cotton in Liver pool has dwindled to 93,oo0 bales as against IO7, 900 last year and the amount ahoat is less by i75, 900 bales, prices were quoted easier in the English market with slight decline in both departments, and this action is ascribed solely to the expectation Of g large movement in that direction next week, or in other words the inference is to be drawn that Englishmen have acquired the greater portion of available stocks in America. In the early trading here indications pointed to an expansion in the weekly movement which ex- ercised an unfayorable influence, and com bined with the easier tone of spots. served to restrict speculation the long side. The re- suit of the days transactions shows decline in quotations of about points as compared with yesterday.
 Receipts Do show expanding tendency but the movement is still considerably under last year The takings by Northern mills are improving somewhat and considering the ma ture of trade advices from that quarter, 1t would not be surprising if these takngs in creased materially in the near future. In the meantime consumption by Southern mills is decidedly liberal, so that while Liverpool may have discovered temporary relief from it's dan gerous position, 1t is quite probable that the occasion for fresh active demand from that source is not very distant and If such be tho case the ket will display more readiness to improve than it has shown to decline un- less present views of the crop are greatly in error.

H. & B. Beers Cotton Letter.

Especial to The Advertiser.1
 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. l8.-The course of Liverpool was a distinct disappointment to the majority of operators and our market in sym pathy opened to points lower declined 3 to 5 points additional. on the favorable weath- er heavy movement and weakness of spots, closing at a net loss of to points on the day. The twenty-nine leading interior towns received 3IA,oO0 thousand the week against BIO 900 last year and the aggregate stock had by them is 36 900 against 349, 900 last year The amount brought into sight during the week was 49 900 against 5o3 900 last year and the total marketed from September | to date has been ,905. 900 against 9 l66: 900 last year. The total stock of American ashore and afioat in Liverpool is 24l 900 against 46o.- 900 last year There is every indication that the movement will continue on an increasing scale and the favorable growing and picking wealth CT prevalent throughout the belt has enabled planters to be well up with their work. The temperature has risen over the upper portion of the central valleys and has fallen over the no1theastetn portion of the country and fair weather is general with predictions that 1t Will continue tonight and Saturday.. Recent re- ideas are increasing for that State and If killing frost is delayed until November | the second growth will add considerable to the yield. East of the Mississippi River the steril- iEation of killing frost would not do serious damage because the bulk of the crop in these States has already matured. Textile trade conditions in Europe remain unsatisfactory and American spinners are only taking their actual require ments. Speculation Is limited and daily purchases made are nlled up oy hedges against spots with such features in the situation. 1t appears as If constant buying will be requisite to maintain present prices. barring a frost
