An effort will be made to resuscitate
another Republican from the very back

admits that he will try to get into the

Stebbins' cue to get out of the political

again ornament public office, the safest

congressional district and has extensive
farming interests. Yesterday he said:
The bill is bad for the bankers and it
is equally bad for the farmers. The
proposed tax will result in drawing the
deposits out of the banks just before the
listing date. This will compel the banks
to call in their securities to meet the
demand for money. The securities of

Murphy & Co... Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. 6.-An estimate of
l., 100000 to 100000 bales issued by
Mr.. Neill, gave further impetus to the
downward movement in cotton this
morning. The market was in a semi
demoraHzed condition despite the
gradual decline of late. Bulls had too
much company and the syndicate
cliques and combinations which have
been so Dong insisting on a very small
crop made no effort to stem the lower
tide. Receipts were piling up again at
an alarming rate and what was worse
the weather map failed to reveal any
thing like the freezing temperature
forecasted yesterday, while mail ac-
counts made no reference to the effect
of low temperature of some days ago.
A report issued by the census bureau
at Washington indicated $500, 900 bales
ginned to Oct. Is, which was claimed
to be so per cent. of the entire crop,
but this was totally ignored and hold
ers were unloading while there was
nothing in sight to encourage bulls be-
yond the possibility of further drop
in the movement or the taking hold by
the bull clique. Should November re-
ceipts exceed those of October a per-
manent recovery Is doubtful. Tired
holders in the South were liquidating
on a liberal scale. Port receipts were
close up to last year for the day and
the clique during the morning under
took to unload January. Gables steady

New Orleans, Nov. 6.-Liverpool ad-
vices were not encouraging, owing to
the issuance of Mr.. Neill's estimate,
consequently our market opened five
points lower, ruling steady for some
time thereafter on fears of another
cold wave in the southwest. Suisse
quently, however. when it was ascer-
tained that weather conditions were
favorable, and spots were very weak
an additional decline of five to six was
established. Near the close shorts
covering occasioned a slight rallying
making the net loss eight to nine
points on the day. Generally fair
weather is predicted for the belt to-
night and Friday. Showers though
will probably occur tonight over Ok
lahoma and the northern portion of
Texas. The temperature will fall over
Arkansas and northern Louisiana and
will remain about stationary else
where, but frost may occur over Ark
ansas.
Mr.. Neill estimates the crop this
year at 11,500,000 to 10000, 900 bales
This will have tendency to keep
spinnerS out of the market, causing a
large accumulation of spots through
out the South, and may superinduce a
further decline. European spinners
have great faith in Mr.. Neill, as well
as Mr.. Buston, and as both these au-
thorities believe in a large crop the
issuance of estimates by the govern
ment and private parties will be ig-
nored and the basis of their future
operations will be predicated on the
figures given by them. General esti-
mates of the crop are being increased
daily owing to the propitious weather
of the past eight weeks and the alb
sence of genreal killing frost at this
late date. The trade anticipate a kill
ing frost nnomentarily now, but being
so late it will do little damage, and
when realized will have only a tenn
porary effect on values. The future
course of the market will be ruled
principally by receipts and the de-
n1and for spots.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 8.-The course of
stock prices was exceedingly erratlc
all Of to-day and the closing was not
far from last nights level. The con-
slant varying movement was seeming
ly due to the cropping efforts of the
professional operators to discover the
current in the market.
The result of their experiments
seemed to show that there was no cur
rent. Speculative sentiment has in
fact come to a standstill and is watt
ing for new developments. The fac
tors which have induced the recent
downward tendency of prices are still
in force to greater or less extent, but
the we'll established principle of specu-
lative markets to discount the future
makes 1t doubtful when a current
movement of prices has run an ade-
quate course to accomplish this object.
Apprehension still exists that there
will be large Withdrawals of gold with
a resulting squeeze Of money rates in
the local market. The advancing ten
dency of wages and the high prices of
materials keep alive the uneasiness
over the proportion of the earnings
which will be left for stockholders.
But IT may be possible that the con-
siderable decline in prices which has
already occurred may be sufficient to
discount these possibilities. At all
events the bear operators who have
gone short Of the market took suffi-
cient account of this possibility to
want to buy stocks to cover their
short contracts. The advances caused
by this buying met selling Of rather
concentrated character.
The origin of this selling was a mys-
terry and opinion was divided as to
whether II came from the bears or was
further liquidation OF long accounts.

that after so sharpe a decline a rally
was in order and they bought freely
during the first two hours. Spinners
should now appear as buyers as the
decline has brought cotton to a point
where unless they feel assured of large
supplies they will begin buying down.
No frost has appeared, but 1t is like
ly to occur before Sunday as the cold
waves in the Northwest should bring
low temperatures in the South. While
the trade feel the crop will turn out
larger than expected they think a re-
action is in order. After the sharp
break many of the pool brokers were
large sellers, but support was given
to January. Liquidation continued to
the close, the pressure coming mainly
from the Southwest. Spinners have
bought fair lines to-day. but not suf-
ficient to absorb the offers.
