Special to The Advertiser.1


 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 2.-Liverpool advices were abou. as expected and our market in sympathy opened lG2 points higher. advanced 2I3 subsequently on the heavy rains fin Texas and fears of cooler weather. However, the continuation of realizing before the bureau report oecasioned a break of points from the top later but when easy some fresh buying came in. causing steadiness making the net loss 2d3 points the day. For the past five days an immense amount of realizing has taken place even though the general opninion is that the average condiution of the bureau will be about 50 per cent. It is also thought that Irrespective of what the figures may be that large quantities of cotton will be for sale and that prices must naturally seek a lower level temporarily. Many claim that the weather on the whole has been favorable for the crop during the past ten days and that with a late frost the present top crop will add materially to the yield. If the bureau re- port is 60 per cent. 1t may be a hard matter 10 hold the market for the moment, but should it confirm the unfnvorable reports disseminated and be under the above figures the chances are that values will eventually sell higher. If must be remembered that with 6l per cent, ! last year. the growth was only 10 $50. 900 baies: therefore. as the average is practically the same this year condition of 60 would indicate a crop on the bureau of about | 0, 400.- OOO and as it is generally believed that the consumption of American will be over | ,o0o- 900 this season. the report, under the cir cumstances would really be buish with con- a4tion of 60 per cent.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2.-Liverpool fur nished no incentive for action either way on this side of the Atlantic today. Deliveries i'm. proved about point, while spots dropped back 2, though the transactions amounted to i2ooO bales. rather indicating a willingness on the part of the traders to operate more &C., lively fin spots with concessions available Early transactions here were moderate in quantity, but a steady tone developed under the influence of fresh heavy rains fin Texas The approaching bureau report, however. per suaded caution, and some liquidation sales subsequently caused prices to move off slight iy. Closing quotations are 2a4 points lower than yesterday. The long and anXiously await ed bureau report is now but q few hours dis tant and the trade will soon have its patience relieved in this respect. though it remains to be seen with what degree of satisfaction. The consensus of expectation leads to an av- craze of 60 and prices likely to be guided by the extent of the deviation from that figure either way. It is waste of labor in the meantime to try and predict what will hap pen though in view of the unanimously bulltsh sentiment and the successive developments to 4 encourage that side and discourage specula- tive short selling. 1t Is possible that a con siderable long interest is awaiting material advance through the medium of the bureau to realize profits on, in which event 1t will re- uuire very determined and constant support to prevent a material setback.

NEW YORK. Oct 2.-There was indisposi- ticn to do much in the early cotton market figures tomorrow The early foreign advces were without special significance while the weather fin the South was too mild to infuse much animation. The run of the crop reports was bullish. but the apparent apathy of bull
 leaders was somewhat perplexing Estimates for the coming bureau figures ran as low as bS as against 64 last month. Jus tThat may be the effect on prices of such low figures re- maths to be seen. Bulls apparently have inc advantage and large exports now in pro- gress together with nervousness in spinning Quarters held them decidedly. There is much rrore dispositfon to buy than to sell and the first news of low temperature between now and October 25 would be sure te cause bear Stamnade Receipts while heavy, are far less than at one time feared and Southern core spondents insist in many instances on much ssyiier marketing of the crop than ever known

Late in Afternoon the Market Turn ed Weak Under Active Public Realizing and Demonstra-
 ton of Bear Confidence

NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-The cotton market opened unchanged to points higher, follow ing which there was slight further rise on general buying led by the room shorts. Ihe Liverpool market news contained nothing to stimulate investment buying and the weather chart failed to offer special inducsment to the room bulls Nevertheless there was littlo cot ton for sale. The South and Europe sold on the advance as did of the more deter mined bear operators. Not long after the call the market suffered a reaction under realiz- ing by commission houses and continued pres sure from the bear side. The receipts at the ports were seen to be increasing again and rumors were circulated to the effect that to- morrow's bureau condition statement for oc- tober will give 60 over. After easing on to 862 for January the whole list stiffened up again soon after the noon hour on reports to damage to open cotton by excessive rains in Northern Texas The ring shorts. however, were about the only buyers on this informa- tion and late in the afternoon the market turned weak under active public realizing with a fresh demonstration of bear confidence. The selling movement was active with prices at the close Say points lower. Total sales estimated at 25o 900 bales.
