Especial to The AuVertser-J
 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. l5.-Notwithstanding early Liverpool advices were discoura ging, our market opened practically unchanged on re- ports of light frost in the Tennessee district Killing frost however, did not materialize, consequently values eased off slightly, but upon the prediction that frost would occur tonight in the extreme northern sections of Tennessee. Georgia and the Carolinas the market became steadier. About this time 1t was ascertained that the temperature had risen in the Northwest and that fair and warmer weather was predicted for tonight and tomorrow in Texas, Arkansas. Louisiana, Ok siahoma and the Indian Territory. Values m- Ynediateiy become easier on the above informa- {. fion and a break of iI9i2 points from the top was established making the net loss loQi points on the day. While light frost may be realized tonight in exposed localities in Northern Tennessee Georgia and the Carolinas 1t is very doubtful if killing frost will, take place. considering the rise in temperatures in the Northwest. and the official prediction of fair and warmer weather tonight and tomor row in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and the Indian Territory Receipts are some what lighter than last year, and the same Is attributed to the apathy of spnners. who claim that bad trade conditions causing many to increase their taking hold freely. :, The favorable weather conditions causing
 many to increase their crop estimates. How :. ever, if a general kil'.ag frost were to occur sn the next few days sharp reaction would he in order; the other hand. the absence of q killing frost during the next two weeks may occasion a further recession Weather con- ditions. therefore, il our opinion, will regu- late the future course of the market

B. M. Scale 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

fBy special Loa1ea Wlrob z NEW ORLEANS, Oct. I5.-Cotton acted to- day like 1t had lost all friends and was un- able to revive from the shock with the assistance of favorable influences. Liverpool first took adverse turn and reported decline of 4 points for spots and deliveries alike but the sales of spots reached 2, 900 bales. This downward course attributed to expectations of bearish estimate of the crop to be announced by Mir. Buston shortly Long liquidation the order of trading in American markets. despite the occurrence. of heavy frost over night in various sections of the central and eastern belt and a moderate tendency of the movement The selling for dissatisfied bulls and encouraged bears con < tinued with more less urgency throughout the day and values steadily depreciated under the pressure. Closing prices are lo9i points sunder yesterday.
 s.- Through the. belief that crop complaints have 1 been materially exaggerated and that ths prospects have been much improved by thc postponement of killing frost. pronounced feeling against the market has been persuaded in various instances and bearish aggressive. ness has become quite fashionable.
 Speculative support is discouraged by tht apathetic spot demand from the regular trade and. in fact. this deficiency has been chiefly the cause of the moderation in bullish senti' ment.
 Conservative traders seem more disposed tc allow the South and spinners to effect theil transactions direct for the time being.

Yarns at Manchester easier and cloths dull. The bull clique was supporting January. but outside support was lacking and buying orders at lower prices are expected to materialize in sufficient numbers to. bring about fresh ad- vance. Port receipts were estimated at oS,- GOO, against 55, 900 last year.

Fine Outlook for Farmers.

Louisville Courier-Journal
 The October crop report of the De- partment of Agriculture makes what Is after all highly favorable summing up of the situation as to the cereal crops. The preliminary estimate as to the spring wheat production indicates a to- tai yield of 246.s74, 900 bushels and an ag- gregate wheat yield of 620. 900 as tember report statistician Brown of the New York Produce Exchange figures out the various crops as indicated by the government report, compared with the actual harvests of last year, as follows:

It will be seen from these estimates that the corn and oats crops are the larg- est ever grown and the rye and barley crops greatly in excess of last year. The wheat and buckwheat yields are smaller, but in these cases there has been large reduction in the acreage.
 The excellent prices farmers are receiv- ing for the cereals and likewise for their cotton and live stock make out the most fiattering prospect for the prosperoty of our chief industrial interest. The cotton crop Is in a debatable position and will continue to be until a killing frost has come but the best authorities look for a crop of at least Il, 900 GOO bales. If the top crop Is not checked by early frost in the South, the production may run quarter to half a million bales higher. The gov ernment's October report does not prom ise so much, but the commercial esti- mates are higher. Also cotton Is bring ing satisfactory prices, and is being much more rapidly marketed than usual, put ting the South Into an excellent financial position.
 The corn crop being the most important of all 1t Is highly gratifying that the yield is so large, even If 1t does not reach the figures expected last summer. It means larger exports though the do- mestic demand will perhaps keep the price too high for foreigners to buy as much as they would ordinarily do. Stocks are small. and while reasonable prices will prevail they will yield the producer a handsome profit.
 All in all farmers should be able to in- crease their surpluses during the year of 1903, and even If they should have short crops they would be able to meet in comfort the conditions to be developed.
