COTTON FUTURES
 OPENED STEADY Prices at the Start Were 4 to 9
 Points Higher BULLS GAINED COURAGE The Close Was Steady With Prices Net 7 to fl Points Higher-ca- bles Were Strong and Re-
 ceIpts Light.
BULLS GAINED COURAGE

New York, September 1-Cotton fu- lures opened steady, with prices to 9 points higher on a scare of pit shorts, brisk buying for public account, demand from the south and ftful support from abroad, all based on strong cables, light receipts and very bad crop accounts. All the forenoon the course of prices was steadily upward, with shorts momentar- fly growing more nervous, while bulls gained courage as profits accrued. Early in the afternoon January touched 7.S2, or 21 points above the low figure of yester- day This level prompted selling for prof It's by early buyers, but failed to attract selling on the reaction theory, conditions on nearly every hand being too bullish Estimates for tomorrows receipts were surprisingly small, the stock in sight for the week falling far short of general ideas, and demand for spot cotton In the south was broadening, despite advices of 1-16 to 1s In prices An advance of IS to 19 points in New Orleans did much to strengthen bull confidence here. Later in the afternoon there was drop to 771 in January, subsequently followed by a rise to nearly the high figure of the ses- sion. interior town weekly statements were very bullish. The close was steady, with prices net to Il points higher.

Cotton Letter.


 c. w. Lee & Co.'S Letter to H. D. Goth ran 8c Go.
 New York, September 27.-Liverpool showed decided strength this morning for the first time in over a week. If that market can only be aroused to the true state of things there is no question of what the result will be upon prices. But so far foreigners refuse to buy and until they are forced Into the market and are impressed with the idea that receipts are small and the outlook for obtaining sup plies far from good. we are to expect the nervous uncertain market that has prevailed in the past. But unless every sign falls there will be higher prices be- fore New Year. Those who will buy on any weakness and cling to the idea that the crop Is as ye1 an unknown quantity and that there will not be a bad break for some time yet will make money on the long side. We would not advise short selling at this season of the year. The market Is now s4c higher than in June and seems to be worked higher. It Is a dangerous situation to sell on for some development that will turn atten- tion to the low stocks and the light movement Is likely to result in very wild market.
 We have seldom seen such crop reports as are being received from the South. There Is hardly 0 factor that argues for lower prices save the lack of money abroad. Foreigners cannot shut up their mills and they have no cotton to run on. We would take profits bought early in the week, on any further advance and low for reaction to buy back the cotton. There will hardly be a break before the government report.

Murphy & Co.'s Stock Letter

New York, September 27-otocks were steady this mornig with traulng in fairly large volume and wei diversified There was further sharp advance in Nickel Plate issues and the other Vanderbilts generally gained strong tone which they have displayed throughout the week. On fairly large dealings copper moved within comparatively narrow limits. The local fractions continued firm, particularly Manhattan. London prices for Americans showed general ad- vances in comparison with lne local closing. The dealings here for foreign account were in small volume and on both sides of the market
 Nothing particularly novel was com prised in the news, but to some extent the trading seemed to be influenced by the fact that tomorrow's bank statement would show another material increase in surplus reserves.
