A Card.

In 20 other way can / reach all
my friends to thank them for their
kindly aid in helping me rebuild,
having lost my barn, horses, cattle,
corn, fodder, machines and farming
implements by fire Oh the morning
of January 9Th. My grateful thanks
are extended to each of my numer-
GUS friends who have cone to my
relief and I pray God to bless each
one and provide for their every want.
It is blessing to know that I have
lived 70 years and so conducted my
self as to merit 80 many friends, and
why the match was set to my barn
is indeed a mystery to me for if I
have an enemy, I don's know it, or
why he is al enemy to me. Again
thanking each one.
Respectfully,
D. T. Barr.

We have just experienced the
severest and most disagreeable wealth

began falling and continued until
near daylight. This was followed
Saturday by fall Of snow, which
lasted for sometime. The clouds
were low and heavy and the weather
was bitter cold. Sunday afternoon
there was a very slight fall Of snow,
but it did not amount to anything.
Monday opened with piercing cold
wind which increased in intensity
and velocity as the day progressed,
but sometime during the night the
wind luIled and the clouds passed by.
Tuesday was fair and cold, ice and
snow being plentifully in shaded
places. The oldest inhabitant affirm
that it was the coldest spoil that he

Murphy & CO... Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. 16.-There was a
slightly better tone to the early mar
ket, but the transactions were unim-
looked for, but the government map
showed an absence of anything like
killing frost in. the entire cotton belt.
In fact, the lowest temperature was A
at Augusta and Chattanooga. Private
reports had it that while Georgia and
Alabama were visited by light frosts
no damage had resulted, and that the
crop prospect was favorable. An in
ducement for supporting the market
was found in the temperance of Mr..
Borden as an active buyer of print
cloths in the New England markets.
Astute operators regarded this as the
preliminary of further activity and as
likely to lead to early buying of raw
material on large scale. The settle
ment of the coal strike being probable
is also we'll regarded in cotton circles,
and on the whole the trade is not in
clined to attach great Importance to
reports of wonderful crop improvement
so persistently circulated in the past
Few days, and what is equally i'm
portant it is to be noted that receipts
despite the better weather, are not
swelling as anticipated. Prices eased
on after the opening on a mild wealth
er forecast for the Southwest. Europe
sold here in small way. Cables were
barely steady at to net loss. Very
low temperature was reported in North
Carolina. Port receipts $4,000; last
year 81 900.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Oct. 16.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices 2 to
points higher on demand from smaller
room shorts, and on some foreign pur-
chases, these buyers being Influenced
by the news of the coal strike settle
ment and the firmer ruling of the Eng
hsn market. Relatively light receipts
at the ports and unfavorable news
from Fail River in reference to the spot
print cloths, also exerted some influ-
ence. But it was soon apparent to all
that the commission houses were al
most destitute of buying orders, and
that the bear faction intended making
fresh attack upon the winter months,
giving the excellent weather conditions
as the prompting factor. Private crop
reports also We're more favorable than
IN some time, many indicating promise
or maturement of late cotton. Light
frost was given on the chart for the
north central belt, the dispatches from
mat quarter stating no harm had been
zone TO cotton as the formation had
peen limited almost entirely to the
higher ground where there were few
nelds. Prices worked quite steadily
lower during the rest of the forenoon
with liquidation quite active. Soon
after midday January sank to S.4Sc
and May to S.2Sc, from which there was
rally near the close on profit-taking
by room shorts. Wall street came to
the front as a buyer of the January
option in the last fifteen minutes, and
European demand was something of a
feature. The South sold along con-
sentative lines. The market was final
ly steady and net / to points lower
Total sales were estimated at 25O, 900

ket appeared to be something of a fac

H. s. B. Beers Cotton Letter

New Orleans, Oct. 16.-Liverpool was
more favorable than expected, owing
to the settlement of the coal strike
and our market in sympathy opened
to 2 higher. Subsequently, however.
when it was ascertained that no kill
ing frost had materiaized in the belt
over night. and that fair and warmer
weather prevailed, values declined s to
8 from the top. Near the close fresh
buying occasioned an Improvement of
4 to from the bottom, making the
net loss l to points on the day.
Spots were decidedly easier and hold
ers made considerable concessions to
effect trades; yet notwithstanding
this, spinners did not exhibit any
eagerness to take hold. The settlement
of the coal strike, the large sales of
stocks at Fall River, the bullish
weekly into-sight and visible supply
figures tomorrow, are all expected to
attract speculation to the article, con-
sequently operators on that theory are
playing for reaction. The Western
conditions though are against any
marked improvement, and with a co1l-
tinuance of same and absence of kill
ing frost for another week, it looks
as If values may seek a lower level.
On the other hand, should a general
killing frost take place during the
interium, sharp advance would be in
order.

Theodore H. Price
on Cotton

New York, Oct. 1.-THE re-
action in the cotton market seems
to have about spent it's force to-
day. 1t has been predicted entirely
upon reports that in the absence Of
frost the developments of the top crop
would add substantially to the yield.
Such reports are always current at this
season, and they nearly always prove
misleading. My advices do not lead me
to expect much from the top crop, and
my belief is an exceptionally short crop
is fully confirmed.
Receipts for the week and especially
for tomorrow promises to be sub
stantially under last year, and the
movement of the crop is already COM
mencing to indicate a shortage.
Exports up to last evening since Sep
TENDER LIST, are 1,022, 032 against 653,S44

Never in the history of the American
cotton trade have exports reached so
large a total thus early in the season.
Holders of cotton have only to exer-
else patience in order to secure very
full prices for 1t. Theodore H. Price.

mia group. The pronounced strength
of the market brought out the usual
crop of rumors regarding special
stocks, notably Norfolk and Western,
which advanced over points to so on
reports of an increased dividend. Much
of the heavy buying throughout the
list was credited to heavy operator
who has recently returned to the street
after an absence abroad.
After the first burst Of enthusiasm
over the favorable aspect OF the coal
strike situation the street began to re-
gard that incident as a secondary fac
tor In the market and commenced to
discount the expected easing UP OF the
monetary situation through the ru-
mored bond purchases by Secretary
Shaw. Nothing definite regarding this
developed during the day, but there
were very many circumstantial ac-
counts touching the transaction. 1t
was reported that the amount involv-
ed would be about $15,000,0O0, which
would be rendered by a syndicate on
satisfactory terms. Professional trad
ers were inclined to regard the heavy
buying as foreshadowing an early an
nouncement Of the transaction. Room
shorts showed much concern over the
heavy absorption of stocks and cover.
