Cotton L etter.

IT. D. Cothran & Co.'S Cotton Letter.
 New York. October 5.-The feature of the week has been the government report on cotton, which appeared at noon on Thursday. With one exception the condi- ton of 1896. the showing proved the low est on the records of the department. The figures, 6l4. compare with 67 last year and CA iii 1899 and COZ in 1896. No one had expected anything below 65 and the effect upon the market was decided. At once operators started in to buy with con viction that has not been in evidence this season and prices shot up 30 points be- fore the close of the day. For the first time this year some definite idea of the crop conditions has been received from the monthly reports. The decline of 10 points on conditions points to smaller crop than last year, and that one may easily fall below 10000 bales with an De- tober frost There vii be no overproduc- tion The question now before the trade is not whether 1t will be safe to buy cot ton but whether the yield will be suf- ficient to meet requirements at cents per pound. Notwithstanding the demoral- ized condition of trade abroad and the absence of active business and specu- lation, there is now but little question that this will be a dull year in cotton We are taking March and May cotton from basis of cents Either one of the fw9 things Is almost sure to happen.

Murphy S Co.'S Stock Letter.

New York, September 5.-This morning s stock market followed closely in line with the weak movements, which, broadly speaking have prevailed throughout the week, that Is to say, 1t opened fairly firm but 1t did not retain that tendency for considerable period. After the opening scatter liquida ton appeared and price moves developed decided irregularity There seemed to be disposition on the part of the professional element of the floor to cover short contracts over Sun day, and it was almost altogether to pur- chase ofrthat nature that such occasional advances as appeared were due The London market closed today. Estimates as to the probable showing for the bank statement varied very widely, but 1t seem- statement for the next month or so would almost certainly show continued de- creases in surplus reserves
 The market was wanting entirely in particular movements of interest The anthracites were comparatively heavy on the theatening labor situation in Penn sylvania and Amalgamated Copper scored a further decline with the course of the morning.
 Sugar was heavy and the minor >ldus- trials were also generally weak. The fairly active dealings In the Steel issues resulted in small price changes. Atchison and Wabash issues were comparatively firm features of the railway list. Nothing whatever that was novel bearing on the market was com prised In this mornings news and the trading was governed by the same general considerations which have prevailed throughout the week and which are outlined above.
