Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Sept. 26.-Although early
cables were fully up to expectations,
some selling pressure developed at our
opening Which sent prices down 1 to 5
points. The decline was looked upon
as only temporary. There was moth
ing over night in way of news calcu-
lated to influence the market in
marked degree either way. Here and
there were reports going to show that
the crop is improving of late at the
expense of lowering the grade, while
the great bulk of reports were as bull
ish as ever. Since we are to have a
bureau report the close of next week,
it is difficult to see how sellers in any
number can enter the field at this time,
while holders are not easily shaken out.
An unimportant failure in Liverpool
market early in the day unsettled the
market until it was known that it had
no bearing on the general condition.
Freezing weather in the extreme
Northwest was reported, but tempera-
ture in cotton belt ranged from so to
so, with some light rains in the At
lantic states. Buyers lacked courage
because of port receipts of $4,000,
against $4,000 last year. Gables were
steady at 1 to IL decline. Colder
weather was the forecast.

The Morning News Office.
Friday, Sept &c.
Some hesitancy is being shown in the
cotton markets in anticipation of the
government report to be promulgated
on oct. 8, owing to the great doubt as
70 it's tone. No settled idea seems to
nreyail as to it's probable bearing, and
for this reason the trade incline to
wait unless forced into the market by
sheer necessity.
The cotton markets at the leading
centers to-day were without feature.
At New York the closing was quiet
and steady, los points up, and at New
orleans 7@S up. While there was con-
siderable liquidation reported, it does
not appear to have been in sufficient
volume to depress values very mate
rally. Spot cotton was in fair de-
mand throughout the day, and towards
the closing was reported firmer at the
leading trading centers.
Naval stores markets ruled firm and
unchanged from yesterday as to both
spirits and resins. The wholesale mar
kets closed steady and mainly I'M
changed. Resume of the markets for

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans. Sept 26.-Spot cotton
conditions remain much the same as
yesterday. Quotations unchanged.
The future market opened quiet but
later in the day became more active
and firmer On the opening call prices
were points down on the near months
up on February and at even figures
on the other positions; advanced 3
points, fell off 3 points and again re-
covered. This interesting succession of
variations continued throughout the
early part of the day, but toward noon
prices veered toward a higher level in
sympathy with New York. AT the
close the board showed net gains of
to points.

New Orleans, Sept. 26.-Liverpool ad-
vices were fully encouraging but our
market, nevertheless, opened l to 8
lower on the continuance of liquida-
ton. Subsequently. however, an i'm
proved demand and steadier feeling
developed in spots, occasioning SYM
pathetic response in delivery, causing
an advance of II to IA points from the
bottom Near the close realizing SUI
perinduced a slight decline, making the
net gain to points on the day. The
amount brought into sight during the
week was $4,000, against $4,000 last
wear and 302, 900 year before last, ag-
gregating 1O1. 700 from Sept. 1 to date,
as compared to 56,400 last year, and
II 400 year before last. The thirty
leading interior towns received dur
ing the week $4,000 against $4,000 last
year and 900 year before last, and
hold in stock $4,000, against 100000 last
year and $4,000 year before last. The
visible supply of American during the
week increased 1000, against an in
crease of 1O2, 900 last year and 100000
wear before last and the total to date
is 1911. 900. against 1.011 900 last year,
and 9SS. 900 year before last.
The New York financial news was
more cheerful than for several days
past. and this coupled with the stead
mess and improved demand for spots
produced the advance established to-
day. The heavy liquidation which has
been going on for several days placed
the market in a healthier condition and
purchasers desiring TO place their con-

New York, Sept. 26.-Our market
opened with sales of January at $500
S.67 and after selling at S.65@S.66 ruled
at SIS at one P. M. Although Europe
an markets declined on the large
movement our market at no time show
ed the same weak tone as yesterday
and quickly rallied when the oppor-
tunity came The trade here expect
the government report on October
third will be bullish in character and
they will not be short in the face of
that probability. Some small selling
against spots was the only new supply
as none accept the government as in
dicating a large crop. Liverpool mar
ket should rally sharply tomorrow
from the weakness of to-day unless the
Chronicle report of the crop is more
favorable than now expected. One of
the bull brokers was a seller of jan
uary against March at 25 point prem
ium but there was no indication of
any heavy selling by the pool. The
spot market was quiet and unchanged.
