Murphy q Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. 6.-The cotton out
look this morning was discouragiag
from speculative standpoint. Liver
pool reported a serious decline, caus-
ing a scramble on the part of local
holders to hold. An estimate by Neill
of a crop of II, $50 900 bales and con-
sumption at 10000, 900 bales at present
prices, served the purpose of foreign
bears, who also took advantage of the
failure of predicted frost to materialiZe
on Tuesday. The temperature this
morning also caused a little concern,
but the low point was confined to only
a few sections, the extreme being 20
at Chattanooga. Big holders of Janu-
airy were liquidating, and the trade In
general closed out, and instead of rail-
lying, the market showed a weak ten
dency, as the noon hour approached.
Liverpool declined SOLO points from
Tuesday. Reports of ice in the Pied
mont region fell fiat. Receipts Tues
day were 10000 bales, against $4,000 last
week and $4,000 last year. Texas re-
ports indicate so per cent. shortage at
Abelfne, Tex, and not over 25 per cent.
sold. At Bryan, Tex, the yield is the
same as last year, and there is prac-
tically no. top crop. From Marshall,
Tex, come low temperatures. The
seni-weekly interior receipts were 1885,
656 bales, against 160, 943 last week, 1874
1853 last year. Estimates for insight,
about $780, 900 bales for the week.

NEW ORLEANS coTToN FUTURES.
New Orleans, Nov. s.-cotton futures
Prices Review.

New York, Nov. 6.-The advance in
the cotton market which resulted from
a general acceptance by consumers of
the idea that the crop would be a COM
paratively small one, has been inter-
rupted and to some extent effaced by
a series of crop estimates emanating
from English authorities, which have
again led the European spinner into
a belief that he has the Southern cot
ton planter at his mercy and can buy
his necessary supply of cotton this year
at his own price.
Mr.. Buston of Liverpool, Mr.. Ian
dauer of Liverpool, and, lastly, Mr..
Henry Nell, an Englishman resident
in New Orleans, have during the past
two weeks published estimates of the
crop ranging from 1880, 900 to 1885,
900 bales, the last being Mr.. Neills es-
Inmates made public to-day. In this
connection it is interesting to refer to
the previous estimates made by Mr..
Neill. Two years ago he estimated the
crop II, 900, 900 bales. 1t turned out to
be about 100000. Last year he esti-
mated it first at $780, 900 bales, and
later at 9,650,000. 1t turned out to be
10,500000. Many are Of the opinion that
his record for correctness will not be
improved by the estimate made public
to-day. / do not recall at the moment
Mr.. Neill's estimate further back than
the years mentioned but it would no
doubt be interesting also to make a
comparison between his figures and
those of the actual outvturn during
the entire period he has been before
the public as a crop estimator, his
opinion and those of other gentlemen
referred to are as far as can be learn
ed, simply the expression of limited
personal observation. They do not pro-
fess to be at least a tabulated result
of any exhaustive investigation. AS
against them, the government report Of
condition of Oct. 3 was the lowest, with
one exception, on record, and the New
York Journal of Commerce. which this
year has been most painstaking In its
investigations, last week published
some 939 replies to an inquiry as to
the size of the crop, which, after al
lowing about per cent. for excessive
pessimism on the part Of the observers.
indicate a crop Of 100000. AS far as
I can see, there is nothing either in
the ascertalned facts Of the situation
or the crop movement up TO date 10
Justify a belief in a large crop. and as
has been previously the case, the
Southern producers Of cotton are not
likely 10 be stampeded into selling by
Bic crop estimates made By those
whose interest is obviously on the side
OF lower prices.

New Orleans, Nov. 6.--Liverpool was
influenced by Mr.. Neill's estimate of
IL, 600 bales minimum for the crop
and only 10,300,000 American necessary
for the worlds consumption this year.
Our market in sympathy opened to
lower. ruled steady shortly after on
reported killing frost in Northern
Georgia, but the fine weather prevailed
throughout the belt and predictions for
fair and warmer tonight and Thurs.
day, subsequently oceasioned an addi-
tional break of 5, making the net loss
on the day to 10 points. The frost
issue is dead one now, as it is too
late to do any material damage in any
of the states, outside of Texas. Killing
frost materialized in some sections of
the extreme Northwest of Texas, yet
it seems as If that state has escaped
a freeze. The bulk of the crop, how
ever is assured and a general killing
frost is expected mon1entarily. For
nine weeks the weather has been ideal
for growing and picking, therefore
planters have their crops picked closer
than for many years past. They are in
a better position to gin when bad
weather sets in than ever known,
having stored their seed cotton in an
ticipation of the usual rainy fall sea-
son. The tendency is towards increas-
ed crop estimates, and as European
textile trade remains unsatisfactory
and the American dry goods inquiry is
on the wane, as is evidenced by Mr.
Borden's reducing operatives wages
to old schedule, the prospects conse-
quently appear to point TO d further
recession in values, unless receipts de-
crease decidedly.

by some to slackening interest, but
more probably due to the shortened
period on account of interruption of
election day Considered in detail the
demand in domestic has been as here
tofore, prominently for medium sorts,
but especial activity also prevails in
low grades, in which the supply is
inadequate, and distinct gains noted
therein of Il to ". Inquiry continues
ening quotations prices abroad are
firmly maintained. The imported
styles, although comparatively higher
than domestic, retain their place and
command a degree of patronage be-
cause of uniformity in quality and ex-
cellence of package.
Porto Rico is again in evidence; be-
tween goods purchased outright and
taken for consignment everything
suitable for export finds ready sale.
In the matter of crop, more recent
advices show that the Carolinas will
be short and as for Louisiana, it is
so backward about coming forward
that it is questioned by some as to
whether the yield will be as large as
last season. Be it more or less, il can
not, in any event, be up to known re-
quirements.
Advices from the South note steady
demand ana no accumulation. In the
carolinas there is just enough enforced
liquidation of planters accounts to
keep the market fairly supplied, and
the same holds true in Louisiana.
Larger planters appear disposed to
hold back their crops, confident that
by standing aside and giving the more
necessitous the right of way, they will
prevent the ruinous experience of for
mer years in which it was every man
for himself and the devil for the hind
ermost." Conditions and conduct to
date promise a sustainment of present
values; demand keeping pace with the
supply; marked deliberation in dispo-
sition of crops and steadiness among
planters, imparting tone and strength
to all distributive factors.
Cables and correspondence from
abroad note fair activity and firm
prices in all styles suitable for the
United States. Reports concerning the
Burmah crop are of most encouraging
character, both as to probable outcome
in quantity and quality.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Cotton Letter

New York Nov. 6.-The killing frost
did not extend over the entire cotton
belt as forecasted by the government,
and as each day puts the season far
behind the crop the markets lost the
entire advance. at the opening. The
offerings were quickly absorbed on the
expectation of a sharp rally but on
the slight advance liquidation for out
side account started, carrying prices
to the lowest point. Mr.. Neill's esti-
mate Of 1,250, 900 bales was regarded
as corroborating the other large esti-
mates made ten days ago. 1t is valu-
able on that account and because 1t is
made at so late a date when more is
known of the actual yield. His mis-
takes of the past two years were main
ly due to inability to foreshadow the
weather before frost. Exporters report
larger offerings from the South. but
the interior movement is light enough
to bring about what our local trade Is
expecting-a sharp reaction.

The Morning News Once,
Wednesday, Nov. 6.
Cotton futures at New York fell with
terrific velocity to-day on what APP
reared to be general weakness. For
the past few days the indifferent de-
uand for supplies from spinners has
oeen made the more so by a flood Of
bearish crop estimates from English
experts who have been travelling the
crop country. The latest estimate is by
Mr. Neill, who to-day puts this crop
at 1125O,000. If local sentiment may
be taken as an index the weight to be
attached to Mr.. Neill's guess will be
minimized. The general opinion was
by no means in accord with him even
among the exporters, who say they
consider it too high. Bearish crop
guesses, the delay of frost, and con,
tinued liberal movement caused fu~
lures to drop, the declines being % to
25 points. Spots were in moderate de-
mand. Offerings through the +. o. b.
market were light, and holders still
disinclined to accept concessions.
Spirits of turpentine closed firm at

tory. Resins closed firm at the advance.

New York. Nov. 6.-The market for
cotton futures opened weak with prices
down 16 to n points on a bad scare
of local longs and commission selling,
together with selling for foreign ac-
count, for professional bear operators
and by Wall street bulls. After the
opening, long cotton continued to come
out freely and the bears gave no indi-
cation of turning for profits. Support
ing orders were scarce and news from
abroad was bearish to an unusual de-
gree. On the cold weather outlook
OF Monday night Liverpool was expect
ed to continue on the up tack during
our holiday. but instead showed a loss
of S@915 points when our market open
ed to-day. Bearish crop estimates by
Neill caused the weakness in Liver
pool and had potent influence upon
our market as we'll. Large offerings
of spot cotton in Southern markets at
B@S-16c lower figured, and free port
receipts helped to weigh down the mar
ket here. Reports from Fall River
were less favorable. The weather re-
port did not show as general nor as
ttcoFy iIOoC III the COltOH DelL as pre-
dicted, while the forecast for to-mor-
rows climatic conditions indicated
higher temperature as a rule Early
in the afternoon the market stiffened
on light proflt-taking by shorts. Janu-
airy rallying from 1850 to TACO. Later,
however the market again broke I'M
der liquidation, which found a market
very bullishly supported. Prices eased
off to the low figures of the morning
and sentiment seemed to favor further
declines. Trading was inclined to drag
at times, and aside from the liquida-
ton was quite of a professional char
acter. The close was barely steady at
a net decline of % to % points.
