COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened easy at a decline of two to
TOUR points and ruled generally weak.
Al one time there was a loss of 10 TO
10 points apparent. The market was
nnally steady at a decline of to IL
points. The weakness in cotton to-day
was scarcely to be accounted for by
The more legitimate influences, which
developed no new phases that were
more bearish than heretofore appar-
ent. The decline in prices was more
directly the result of continued liqui-
cation under the force of stop orders.
There was, on the other hand. no evil
dence of substantial support; the mar
ket depending on covering for buyers
The liquidation of long accounts was
said to include a heavy New Orleans
interest, which sold in the local mar
ket. Crop accounts continued gener-
ally favorable, with temperatures
ranging from A to 70 in the cotton
belt. The local market was weakened
by revised and increased crop esti-
mate by Memphis prognosticator of
note, who is now figuring upon a crop
or 100000 bales. The decline in cot
ton has now been something like a
cent and local sentiment reflects some
disposition to buy on the theory of a
reaction from this point. AS a rule,
however, local sentiment remains
bearish, the generally favorable CHI
matte conditions for, ma turing the top
crop offsetting all other considerations
in the local mind.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 11.-There was a
fresh outbreak of Generalization on
the Stock Exchange this afternoon aft
err quite a substantial recovery had
been achieved this morning. The
manner in which the market acted at
the rally was such as to give some
preparation for the renewal of heavy
LIQUIDATION. 1t is a maxim of profess
sional traders after a day of such vio-
lent declines as those of yesterday to
buy stocks and cover short contracts.
This was the course pursued in this
mornings market, resulting in adj
vances of from 1 to points in the ma
jority of leading active stocks on the
list, but the absorptive power of the
market showed a steady decrease as
the advance in price proceeded.
Commission houses were practically
idle and reported that no orders were
being received from outside sources.
The market wavered uncertainty
through the MONDAY period and even
stood with apparent equanimity the
early stages of the violent liquidation
in Amalgamated Copper. The SEEM
ingly endless outpouring of this stock
eventually undermined the market
The identity of the capitalists In con-
troll of this corporation with those con-
trolling the STANDARD Oil Company and
the enormous prestige carried by this
group I'm financial affairs caused a
deep significance 10 be attached to the
unloading in Amalgamated Copper. AS
consequence enormous liquidation
was renewed throughout the list.
Some of the stocks which took a
leading place IN the morning recovery
were the most acute sufferers in the
late weakness. Just at the close St.
Paul made a spectacular tumble, 10 i76,
making a net loss Of 5ss from last

murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov 11.-There was no
abatement in the general inclination
to sell this morning. Early cables
were spiritless, but the weather over
the belt was too fine to lead even a
suspicion of damage to cotton still in
fields, and the opinion is deeply noted
that the crop is being daily augment
ed on this account. An additional and
more important bearish feature is the
volume Of cotton now being marketed.
The figures of last weeks insight
promise to be exceeded and the days
receipts started with a rush, especial
ly at Savannah, the total promising to
exceed last year. So long as last years
figures are being reached and fire.
quently exceeded 1t would be idle to
expect crop estimates of moderate pro-
portions to prevail. The long interest
is yet big enough, and the short in
terest is so magnificent that the best
people see nothing in the situation to
bring support, especially since there
is a lazy and unsatisfactory atmos-
phere in Wall street, which may as
sumo serious aspect if long contin-
ued. Europe sold here on a big scale
this morning, and the main buying
was by shorts. Port receipts were IT,
900 bales, against $4,000 last year. Ca
bles closed lower. The clique sold
heavily.

been recorded. At this decline cotton
should at least have a reaction. for the
Southern markets do not follow the
decline. There has alos been an inn
mense liquidation on the long side, and
any favorable news would have
brought a sharp recovery. The basis
of the liquidation is the fine weather
throughout the cotton belt, which is
increasing crop estimates. Large pur-
chases have been made for a reaction
in Liverpool tomorrow. Unless there
is change in the weather conditions,
that is doubtful. though cotton is
worth present prices on the basis of
crop of 11,25O,O00 bales. The spot
market was quiet, 10 points decline.

off to-day, with the closing showing
material declines below last nights

buying element gather enough courage
10 support the market check to the
downward course may not be estab-

In the cotton market confidence has
been shaken greatly by the failure of
killing frosts to fall yet and the con-
tinued better prospects for big crop.
Rulls cannot muster courage to enter
a market as buyers with the bears
hammering and all the advantages
from news standpoint being in their
favor. While futures now show a drop
of about 100 points, or cent a pound,
since the declines started. the spot
markets have failed to respond fully
Characteristic stubbornness is shown
or the part of interior holders. who are
waiting for the present bear raid to
cease before offering their cotton.
New York stocks again closed off
on the general liquidation. No strong
pressure is apparently on the market
from any other source. but
there is the same fear in stocks that
there is in the cotton market. hence
backwardness onN the part of pros
