Murphy 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, October 4-Liverpool re- sponded to our advance of yesterday on the bureau figures but no so fully as some parties had looked for. Still it was con- sidered as much favorable for permanent improvement that the advance should be gradual in order to afford belated buy CTS an opportunity of availing them selves of present low values Light frost was reported at Ameriallo Tex this morning with temperature &C., Otherwise the temperatures were higher and more or less rain was reported. The bureau figures while being ridiculed by local and Liverpool shorts Is making no little im- pression in the minds of the general pub lie. Wagers of 10 cent cotton are being recorded and while the movement keeps rather full reports of rapid gathering and free marketing are numerous.
 There is much at hand to show that the crop will prove very moderate one and very little to show to the contrary since the reports of injury by rain coun- terbalapce reports of improvement in the ratio of 20 to 1. Early prices were within a point or two of yesterdays clos- ing. but before long there was gradual advance, shorts covering and western and southern buying for long account be- ing quite liberal. but the days business was at the close generally bullish. Port receipts estimated at 10000 against 42, 900 last year.

nearly as large as the production two years ago. and even granting the infiu- ence Of those specuIators seeking to make the crop conditions as disastrous as pos- sIble there is little hope of much more cotton than was grown last year. There are, Of course. other factors In the stua- tion, the condition of the money market the strike and most of all the accumula- ton Of January In this city. What in- fiuence these will have no man can tell But as far as supply and demand are concerned we cannot see anything In the cotton situation this year but higher prices as a result of inadequate supplies Consumption must be curtaied to meet supplies and this cannot take place un- der cents a pound. For this reason cot ton is a very valuable commodity and contracts to deliver in March and May are more likely to bring 9is cents at ma turity than slh cents at which they are selling today. Barring accidents. and there are several unfavorable factors outside of cotton, we are not likely to see much lower prices. and should the spinnins world attempt to buy freely there would be quite an advance. Pur- chases on any decline are in order.
