Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. THE weather map
this morning was the main point of
interest, while early cables showed a
sharp break at Liverpool, following
our weakness yesterday also attract
ed attention Every station in the
cotton belt to-day reported fair wealth
er, while the temperature in no in
stances fell below 50. There was a
feeling despite this that prices were
low enough for the present. While the
weather was all that could be desired
for the crop there was no assurance
that injury was to be averted within
the next three weeks, and the fact is
established. 1t is only natural that
big. crop believers should proceed with
extreme caution. People who have
been South returned to-day with sto-
ries of an immense yield, while other
reports were indicative of nothing
greater than 100000 and possibly
much less. 1t appears to be taken for
granted that the recent heavy rains
in Texas have incurred no little dam
age. Sales showed a slight advance,
but there was not much doing and a
general disposition was shown to await
developments. Soon after the opening,
the market turned easy and there was
more or less irregularity. Cables were
quiet, but firmer at to net loss.
Forecast of fair weather in Texas and
elsewhere brought out stop orders.
Bears hammered the market at inter
walls, but made little Roadway. Port

natives obtain rubber by pouring the milk into
