A government ofheial who thinks he can do

The greater part of the payments
reached the receivers once in the shape
Of checks but fully 1000 persons went
personally to the Office to pay the taxes.
Fifteen policemen were required to keep
the lines intact and to prevent confusion.
Some Of the larger payments were: Eight
hundred thousand dollars by the New York
Central railroad, which included as usual
the taxes of the vanderbilts; $3.50, 900 by
the Astors, 500 900 by John D and Thomas

this morning and a new low record of the movement. the general market had a better look about 1t than we have seen in some days. Of course, it's a ather per picking position in New York, and with Il, 900 and 12,0O0, ,000-bale estimates on the crop floating around the whole ques- ton of cotton values is uncertain. But as far as the buying and selling of fu- lures was concerned and the immediate influence on prices, we should call the selling very poor and the buying the best we have seen in months. All this may change with an advance of a few points. That remains to be seen. But as far ss the immediate market went there was every inducement to buy cotton this morning. Cotton was sold " thout re- gard to valuesF Whenever this happens the end is not far off. For instance, May opened at 79S and in a few trades was selling at 791. It broke so easily that the simplicity alone would prevent a man from selling cotton. On the decline spot houses bought. One broker who stood in the pit and sold the pool al. the Janu- ary they wanted at S.54 less than two weeks ago took several thousand bales of March from the same peopie at 7.9o. This is what We term good buying. Nsw Or leans wired that no cotton was offered there to speak of and little buying now would steady up the market. This brought many shorts into the market as buyers here and the tone improved stead fly after the first hour. On any advance tomorrow we would take profits on the cotton bought on the break and then on decline we would buy again. Under the present conditions of the future mar ket the present condition of the statisti- cal position and the uncertainty over the size of the crop, everything leads one to buy March and May cotton on a break of this kind. We don't see evidences of more cotton than can be consumed this year. If the price remains below Sc we may not have enough with 11,eo0.0 GOO bales. As there was little cotton left over last year, it will require over 11,250.0OO bales to bring the price to 7c next spring; Sc is not high for the moment. We believe in buying on breaks.

Murphy 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, November 12.-Weather con- dititions in south today were again quite satisfactory. high temperature prevailed at most southern points, while nothing near freezing weather was in sight near the cotton belt. The character of early Liverpool cables was colorless. There was plenty of bullish crop news by mail which attracted little attention. Receipts prom ised to be iberal and the statistic improve ment was scored In the early market which was only natural after the pound ing of past few days, but Wall street affairs were still unsettled and stocks were attracting continued attention at the expense of cotton which failed to bring new buyers who still saw little merit in it. while crop estimates were being raised. regardless of wisdom of such views at the present time. Temporary rallies are to be looked for but to induce support with decided confidence at this time seems to be difficult to accomplish. After opening points higher the mar ket turned weak and the decline was slow. Bullsh Georgia and Texas crop news failed to effect the market Port receipts 53,O00 bales against 56,O00 last year. Cables steady at about one to two points decline.

LOCAL SENTIMENT STRONG

New York, November 12-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of to points. The improvement was on a better class of cables than looked for with less liquidation pressure, For time the market ruled steady; then there came a break. This was a matter of ' to 10 points on the more active positions. The loss had it's start in renewed unfavor- able stock market conditions. After the renewed selling pressure called out by this phase of the situation, the marAet once more developed inherent strength. It became apparent that the spot mar kets of the country had not been respond ing to the speculative decline; orders for spot cotton to the south turned upon the fact that the New York market was A to lh below the southern spot parity. On information Of this character, local sentiment became very strong in connec- tion herewith, large freight engagements being reported, notably at New Orleans; but also at Atlantic and gulf ports, sug- gesting the probability of renewed ex- ports upon large scale. The evidences of a strong spot position started active speculative buying; on this our market closed firm at a net rise of to IA points Throughout the session trading was very active and the transactions in future de- liverfes are estimated at 100000 bales.
