towns state that stocks increasing owing
to the nominal demand and spots are. there

unusually favorable for the crop and there
are no present prospects for any decidedly
lower temperatures. With the lack of demand
for spots and restricted speculation the prin-
cipal governing feature during the next week

we suggest this be watched closely because
any indication of killing frost will cause a
sharp advance.

IRY Eriuaha NRirA

NEW YORK, Oct. l7.-Changes in the early
cotton market were unimportant. The mere
fact that moderate temperature prevailed in
the South stood in the way of improvement
Cables when opened were rather higher
than the trade expected The main point how
ever was the absence of any signs of frost
or anything approaching it. Under these cir
cumstances bull confidence is weakening In
many directions. The remarkably fine weather
OF late has undoubtedly been helping the crop
some and II only in a position to
know to what extent the present uncertain
syate of affairs OF minds on the part of both
bulls and bears would be followed by agrees
siveness. This uncertainty acts as a check
and we are not likely to witness an improve
ment in prices until frost is announced while
every days delay Of frost cannot fail to dam
pen teh ardor of those who have been favor
ably disposed toward the bull side. The Liv-
erpool stocks during the week gained slightly
as did the stock afoat bu the American sup
ply in that market is now $1,000 ahead of
last year. Talk Of considerable short interest
is heard and this may temporarily improve
the market. The forecast for wet weather in
Arkansas and portions Of Texas after the first
hour helped to advance prices 466 points and
selling orders at times rather scarce.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct 1.-THE effect of the
recent severe liquidation was clearly illus
trated today by slight recovery in all cot
ton markets. Deliveries in Liverpool improved
los points and the spot sales amounted to
900 bales at unchanged prices Foreigners
however. appear to be more inclined to take
matters quietly for the present. being in!fu-
enced by a belief that the state of the sur
rounding trade is decidedly unsatisfactory
The selling pressure here had moderated to a
considerable extent and as steadier tone de-
veloped in consequence. The weeks statis-
tics were rather favorable, but there no
disposition to act on this feature, and the re-
cuperation Of prices exceedingly moder-
ate. Closing quotations are gas points higher
than yesterday Traders In cotton now seem
to be patiently waiting for something new to
turn up. The belief has spread, however, that
present favorable weather is dissipating a
multitude of previous crop complaints and be-
sides. the estimate of Mr.. Buston is eagerly
looked for by many who expect 1t to exercise
pronounced influence on opinions abroad.
Developments In the spot department are be-
ing carefully observed in the meantms. as so
muchis likely to depend the nature Of the
regular trade demand for actual cotton.

Demand,

NEW YORK, Oct 1.-THE cotton marke,
opened steady with prices points higher tc
] point lower and following the call continued
to work upward on increasing demand from
shorts and moderate investment buying. The
better feeling was due for the most part &c
an unexpected rise in the Liverpool and Il
reports from Fall River that demand for yarns
and cloths was active at firm prices.
Whereas the early weather chart noted gen.
orally fair conditions over the entire belt, the
forecast foreshadowed unsettled weather over
extensive portions of the crop country with
lower temperatures in Western Texas. The
receipts were free for the day but the esti-
mates for the movement of tomorrow fell
below the actual receipts the same day q
year ago.
The private Liverpool cables brought buying
orders and the South. too. attempted to cover
shorts here. The weekend statistical state
ments. as made up by Superintendent King.
Secretary Hester and the Liverpool statistician
were of bearish import, but had been quite
generally discounted.
The market continued to advance until mid
afternoon. when light profit taking by early
buyers checked further improvement
