THEODORE H. PRICE
On Cotton.


 New York, September 17.-Cotton for September, October, November and De- cember delivery today sold in New York at SIS or over. Tn my opinion it Is question of only a few days longer before nearly all positions here will be worth cents per pound. Reports reaching others and myself indicate that crop esti- mates throughout the south are rapidly being reduced, and an average of present opinion, I think, would be but little over 10, 200, 900 bales. If this idea comes to be ac- cepted generally cotton will sell at 10 cents per pound speedily The large re- ceipts upon which so much emphasis is being laid by the bears should be entirely disregarded as a market influence. Port receipts for the month of September to date are 3S3,000 bales, against 3550OO in 1889, when the crop was O0O. Large September receipts are invariably symp- tonic of a drouth-shortened crop, and are a bull, not a bear, argument. Spin ners will consult the best interests by buying all the cotton they need at present prices, ard owners and producers of cot ton in the south, in my opinion, have only to exercise patience. and recognize the fact, in order to obtain between 9 and 10 cents per pound for their production

Cotton Letter.

c. w. Lee &s>Co.'s Letter to H. D. coth-
 ran 6 Go.
 New York, September 17.-There is so much to be said in favor of cotton that the situation grows more simple as the season advances.
 A week or two ago traders hardly dared to buy freely because receipts were so bad. Now it seems as though the larger movement the less cotton there is for sale. This was the condition this morn ing when Liverpool advanced some or points In addition to the dollar-a-bale advance yesterday. Local traders were hardly prepared for this strength abroad and the rush to buy carried January to S.7O, a new high record for this season. If half the accounts printed by the Wash ington authorities are true, S1a or SA is not a high price for cotton this year It is an advance to inspire caution, but not one to bring about any change in our position on the future of the market. It is drouth year. The yield may be less than is supposed. At the most fav- orable showing the market will ultimately take care of the crop and advance prices as high as last year.
 The main question at the moment Is when to take profits and look for reac- tion. The price has advanced very rap idly this week, and around Sst we would begin to take profits. At this figure large quantities of the cotton bought at SH will come on the market. The south will doubtless sell freely and some irregularity can be looked for. Then any reaction we would begin to buy March or May. These options are at too heavy a discount under January. If January should sell at ssl there Is every reason in the world why it should sell at 9. The year promises to be a speculative one in every sense of the word, and we believe cotton will sell very much higher next spring.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-09-18

regardless of the point to which values have already advanced. Liverpool was a free buyer in this market and support was general during the early session. The New York stock was being rapidly reduced and spinners were growing nerv- ous. Prices were 10 points higher before noon. Cables were 2 to S1a points higher. Weather news today was of no special importance in the matter of moisture the only points reporting rain being savan- nah and Oklahoma. There was a cool wave in the extreme northwest, where the mercury fell to 28. and early fore casts were for cooler weather In the cot ton belt.
 Foster the weather prophet who has frequently hit the mark, predicts that cotton will be killed by frost during the week ending October g. Mail reports fair to indicate the beneficial effect of recent rains, and what change is taking place in sentiment is in favor of short crop views, while extremely high esti- mates are being abandoned and bull leaders predict 9 cents this week for Jan uary. Port receipts today were 33,0Oo bales. against 22,oo0 last year.

New York, September 17.-Futures opened steady with prices unchanged. Foreign market advices were practically featureless. The primary receipts how ever were moderate and this with the uncertainty over the actual condition of the September towering tended to check bear operations while the large surplus already on hand and lack of outside in- terest gave little encouragement to the bulls. The trading, therefore, was more than usually dull. Prices underwent lit- tie change, the closing being net un- changed to 5 points lower and the total sales being 22,000 bags.

Chicago chanqe.

Chicago, September 1.-The general tone in grains today was firm. Predicted frost to follow the recent mild weather was a potent factor. Trade, however, was largely confined to the local crowd, especially in wheat and oats, and inas- much as these pits ruled dull price changes in them were small. Corn felt the weather most and was active most of the session. At the close September wheat was A lower, December 1s up, De- cember corn 1s higher, September corn % higher and December oats % up. Pro- visions felt the effect of a raid in Octo- Der pork and closed cents higher to 5 cents lower.

COTTON MARKET
 FIRM AND HIGHER
Behind Buying Movement Were
 Predictions of Frost
CABLES SHOWED STRENGTH
Regular Reports From Domestic Dry Goods, Spot Cotton and Print Cloth Markets Were Bull
 lsh Beyond Doubt.

New York, September 7-The cotton market opened firm with prices to points higher on strong general buying, and during the rest of the morning and early afternoon continued upward on very active buying for commission house ae- counts, European interests, New England spinners, the south, shorts and room op- orators. Behind the buying movement were reports that light frost was likely to form tonight in northern Texas, Okla homa, Indian Territory and Arkansas. Again smaller estimates were becoming popular, these ranging from 1O2o0oOo to 10,75O.0o0 bales.
 The English market cables, public and private, reflected great strength in both departments of Liverpool, with public speculation once more very active. The regular reports from domestic dry goods. spot cotton and print cloth markets were bullish beyond a doubt, and crop news more clearly than ever demonstrated that great damage had been done by the drought and abnormal heat of last Au- gust. Europe was a large buyer of spot cotton in the south late in the uay at 1-lo to Mc advance, and the actual exports of today nearly equalled the total port receipts. The New York stock. running count, fell off 15500 bales. with total cer- tificates outstanding down to 9500 bales. A well-known New Orleans cotton operator was a heavy buyer of the winter and late months near the close, bidding s.69 for 10000 bales January. The close was steady, with prices net Sa15 points high CT. Total sales estimated at 5O00OO bales. The leading commission houses reported the largest business for public account done in some months.
 New York, September 17.-Cotton quiet and steady; middling 9, net receipts 250, sales 215, stock S5,5OS, exports to Great Britain 93S2.
 Total today: Net receipts 32,1ss, ex- ports to Great Britain 1s,sS1, to the con- tinent 96S0 stock 29O.154
