 ran & Go.
 New York, September 10.-Gonsidering the advance of yesterday tie market ruled very steady today. After selling at S.37 profit taking carried January to s.26 and then buying caused a partial recov- cry to S.30 Some very bad reports from Texas regarding insects were received, and this had a great deal to do with the afternoon steadiness. The average south ern market is still too high for cotton to be brought here. Our market advanced isc today. We fail to see anything in the situation to justify the position looking towards lower prices as long as stocks here are so small about 15,000 bales. and the price level is not high enough to al low sales for delivery here. Of course, spot people sell every day against pur- ehases in the south, but the spinning de- mand is better on the break and may be sufficient to take all the cotton offered and at the same time lift prices to a higher level The weather is good and we will hear Q great deal about cotton being made every day If this were not true this would be a crop disaster and higher prices would prevail
 Heavy receipts tend to keep the market down, but from what can be gathered from conservative people In the south. cotton should be bought on every break below Si4c. If the crop should turn out moderate. as is more than probable, the maximum movement may be reached be- fore October 20. In this case there would be wild market later in the year.
