STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 1S.-The market open
ed with a partial renewal OF yesterdays
pool operations in the railroad stocks.
Baltimore and Ohio made a wide open
ing, advancing about l per cent. Penn
sylvania was active, though selling frac-
tionally lower, as did also NortOlk an0
Western. The reaction in the latter
stock was ascribed to heavy selling by
those who believe that any increase IN
the semi-annual dividend Will not be
more thar One-half of l per cent, put
ting the stock on a 3 per cent basis. TX
treme weakness was shown by New York
Central and Union Pacific and st. Paui
also sold below yesterdays close. Gai-
tirore and Ohio made a furthef advance
but the Southwestern group, under TIE
lead of Missouri Pacific, showed some

The question during the coming week
VIII be one Of receipts and nor of wealth
ef- ms morning the market opened
weak as far as prices Went, though the
tone was more feVerish than weak and
underneath this was considerable resist
ance noticeable. But May and March
ruled around 8.33 and S.34 without much
trade until the Houston estimates for
Monday were received. The figures
started a few shorts who We're nervous
and this ran March up TO $40 in short
order. This is the first time this sea-
son that receipts have started the mar
hct in any such fashion as this. For
that reason we are inclined TO think the
movement will cut more figure than
weather this coming week. Last Year we
had the large figures Of something like
$40. 700 or $50. 010 bales. We will do Well
20 get 800. 900 bales this year. 1t is ar
old saving that the size of the largest
weeks movement is a pretty fair index
of the size of the crop. The figures
last year are enormous to compare with
and we do not believe there can be much
of a break in the market from this point
Without pretty big receipts. We don't

Without a big port movement We cant
have a big total in sight. We would
call attention 10 the movement this next
week and as long as the figures fall
from 1000 to 20, 900 bales behind last
years figures each day. as they did
today we would buy cotton on any and
every break fer a steady market.

lying on his breast was the instrument
of death with one empty chamber.
Mr.. Anderson came 20 Littleton in the

and at the same time to all appearance
they are innocent OF any intentional

Bryan's scheme was to approach the

advices were not encouraging, cOnSe-
quently our market opened 2 TO 4 lower,
but subsequently improved ; TO from
the bottom on predictions of shoWeTy
weather generally throughout the belt
and probably colder tonight and Sunday.
The lighter receipts were also lnstru-
mental in occasioning steadiness. Inc
easiness prevalent in spots caused values
to tall off slightly near the close, max
ing the net gain l to ? points on the
day. The apathy of spinners during the
last fifteen days has reduced the amount
OF cotton in transit and increased the
accumulation in known and unknown IN
terror towns, which necessarily VIII
relatively reduce the movement INTO
sight this week considerably. 1t is estl-
mated, therefore,, that the amount
brought into sight this week Will DC
about 49,, 600 as compared with 5tS,OoU
last year and 4S5 900 year before last.
The ideal weather which has existed
t%hroughout the South for weeks has mao

The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1902-10-21

The light receipts are beginning to at
tract considerable attention, and despite
the fact that Liverpool was very disap-
pointing and our market had a set back
at the opening. there was heavy buying
for both long and short accounts through
out the short session, and prices ad-
vanced 8 points from the low price of the
morning. There is very little cotton for
sale as the long interest has been con-
siderably reduced. and there is a general
desire to repurchase on the part Of those
who took their profits at higher prices.
We think that this decline in cotton is
only a reaction and that purchases on
soft spots should be made in anticipa-
ton of a considerable advance in the
near future.

New Orleans. Oct. 1S.-The spot cotton
market today was easy at previous fig
.rts. The contract market opened l to )
points lower under the influence of a
drop of , points in Liverpool, but when
Is became known that Gates and other
heavy Western buyers were making large
#Tehases in New York, there was a squirt
OF free buying, which sen prices up 4 to
b points all along the line. The advance
WAS checked, however, by taking of small
.iahts by room traders. and thereafter
remained dull without feature AT the
noon closing the board showed net gains
