MARKETS FOR FUTURES COTTON CLOSED STEADY, BUT
 SOME LOWER. Light Frost in the South Reported to Have Done No Damage-Wall x Street Bought the January Option.

NEW YORK, Oct. i6.-The cotton market opened steady with prices 244 points higher on demand from smaller room shorts and on some foreign purchases, these buyers being influenced by the of the coal strike settlement and the frmer ruling of the English market
 Relatively light receipts at the ports and unfavorable news from Fall River in refer ence to the spot print cloths also eXerted some Influence. But 1t was soon apparent to all that the commission houses were almost destitute of buying orders and that the bear faction intended making a fresh attack upon Win ter months, giving the excellent weather con- ditions as the prompting factor The private in some time many indicating promise of ma turement of late cotton.
 Light frost was given on the chart for the northern central belt, the dispatches from that quarter stating no harm had been done to cotton the formation had been limited almost entirely to the higher ground, where there were few fields Prices worked quite steadily lower during he rest of the forenoon with liquidation quite lctfve. Soon after midday January sank to o.e4 and May to BPS from which there was . rally near the close on profit taking by room shorts.
 the January option in the last fifteen minutes and European demand was something of a feature. The South sold along conservative lines. The market was finally steady and net a@4 points lower.
 Total sales were estimated at 250 900 bales The 6rmness in the stock market appeared to be something of factor in the lste sion, causing shorts to believe 1t meant i'm mediate working of the mines.

 NEW ORLEANS. Oct I6.-Liverpool was in ciined to acquire a steader tone in conse quence of the coal strike settlement but tpri- vate cables stated that faith in the stability of prices was diminishing on account of the that trade in cotton goods is far from satis- factory.
 Spot prices officially unchanged, but , an easier tone followed the days transactions. which amounted to 900 bales. Deliveries { lost points after various fluctuations. There seemed to be a fixed determination the part of tirnid bulls fin American markets to evacu- ate the long side and favorable influences were utterly disregarded in the process. Bears contributed considerable assistance in fla l cilitating the downward course though at the extreme decline, some shorts appeared satis- ! fled with the profits at hand and the efforts ! to realize caused a steadier tone with 8 slight recovery. Closing quotations are iq3 points under yesterday.
 Tn many instances the feeling in cotton has been converted from recent pronounced buIlish temper to decided degree of pessim- , ism. The ranks of the bears have been con : siderably reinforced in consequence, while the columns of the bulls have been materially depleted. NIn ordinary circumstances. such a condition alone would be the incentive for a fair recovery but in the present case traders seem to be bothered over the problem of dc mand for actual cotton as each day appears to elicit greater indifference on the part of spinners. without manifesting any encour- aging prospects for the near future. In the present state of the market, however, any Substantial improvement in the spot demand would hrave an electric effect on prices.

Fl. 6 B. Beers Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. I6.-Liverpool was more favorable than expected owing to the set. clement of the coal strike and our market ir sympathy opened ld2 points higher; subse quently. however. when 1t was ascertained that no killing frost had materialized in the pelt over night and that fair and warmer weather prevailed values declined S@9 points from the top; near the close fresh buying occa- stoned an improvement of 4m6 points from the bottom. making the net loss lfl3 points on the day. Spots were decidedly easier and holders made considerable concessions to effect trade; yet. notwithstanding this. spinners did not exhibit any eagerness to take hold. The settlement of the coal strike. the large sales Of goods at Fall River. the buliish weekly into sight and visible supply figures tomor- row are all expected to attract speculation tn the article. consequently operstors on that theory are playing for a reaction, the weather conditions though are against any marked improvement and with a continuance Of same and absence of killing frost for another week 1t looks as if values may seek lower level; on the other hand. should general Killing frost take place during the interim a sharp advance would be in order.

Savannah Cotton Market.

SAVANNAH, Oct. i6.-(Speciai )-For the past few days a noticeable let-up in trans actnons at the Cotton Exchange as a result of the coal strike has been the feature of local trading in cotton.
 From the standpoint of the cotton trade here, which keeps pretty well m touch with what is going on in the cotton world, business on the exchanges promises to fall of from now on with every day the strike continues, for the reason that owing to the great uncertainty created to the future traders prefer to steer shy of the market. They cannot calcu- late on the future when the strike may or may not entirely derange conditions.
 It should be remembered, however, that the lesser activity in the cotton markets Is more in the contract branch than the spit markets, in which fair trading continues de- spite the strike. Whatever curtailment there ficial when the strike is settled for the de- mand from mills whose supplies will have been practically exhausted with feew weeks drain and no new receipts will come into the market as aggressive buyers and impart strength that will carry prices upward ma terially.
 Hesitation Is also caused in the cotton mar kets at the moment by the pending estimates of experts as to the outturn of this crop Mir. Buston of Liverpool has for some time been travelling in the cotton country and>will soon be ready to promulgate his estimate. What 1t will be none seems to know. The ideas Of many of the trade about made up as to the yield. however, and few inclined to put 1t exceeding last years yield. Many put it lower than last year.
 At the meeting of the directors and stock holders of the Central of Georgia Railway in this city yesterday 1t is understood the traffic manager submitted a digest of reports to him which showed the crop to be l per cent. less than last year. In Alabama the consensus of opinion is that the crop will be less than last year. Texas will not make more than trade here does not believe the crop of Geor- git will be largely in excess of last year.
