Local Cotton Market.
General Cotton Review by R. M
 Scale & Co.

It is quite evident that an extreme large short interest is in the market just now and are putting forth every effort possible to depress prices. Under ordinary conditions a bureau of 5S.3, the lowest on record for October, coupler with excess sive rains all over tho western belt, these buliish factors should have produced an advance of at least 20 points, while a rise of only to points was observed. There is very noticeable fight existing between foreign spinners and spot hol1- CTS. proof of this is shown by a some what reduced trade demand for spots from that quarter, however. present in- nications point to a croup of about ten and a quarter millions and with early killing frost. the figure would be much less. With consumption at eleven to eleven and a quarter millions, at pres ent prices the yield would he far inad- equate to meet the worlds requirements therefore prices must necessarily soar td a height not yet reached. We may wit ness small reaction next week, but or every. decline sufficient purchasing pow CT will be exhibited in the market to check the downward tendency. October receipts will begin to fall short of last year by the 18th. and as the trade is eag- erly watching the exact date of killing frost, both these factors will prove a stimulus to the market. We advise pur- chasers on all declines for handsome prof atg.

 rY2-- prf. yVire

New York Oct. 4.-Liverpool responded to our advance of yesterday on the bureau figures, but not so fully as some parties had looked for. Still it was considered as more favorable for permanent improve ment that the advance should be gradual in order to afford belated buyers an op- portunity of availing themselves Of pre- sent low values. Light frost was re- ported at Ambarillo. Texas this morning with the temperature at 36. Otherwise 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 i'm presson in the minds of the general public. Wagers of 10 cent cotton are being re- corded, 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 lit- tie to show to the contrary, since the re- ports of injury by rain counterbalance reports of improvement in the ratio or 2 to 1. Early prices were within point or two of yesterdays closing, but before long there was a gradual advance, shorts covering and western and southern buy ing for long account being quite liberal but the days ausiness was quite moder- ate and of the average Saturday character with the feeling at the close generally bullish Port receipts estimated at 40,VN against 4, 00O last year.

LOOKED LIKE HOSPITAL
THREE WOUNDED NEGROES A.
 POLICE HEADQUARTERS.
Eugene Douglass, Negro, Fired Pistol Into a Crowd at Ven able's Store and Made
 His Escape.

The prisoners dining room at the Mostgomery Police Station had the ap- pearance of an emergency hospital last night at Il o'clock after Eugene Doug lass. negro, and his revolver had fin ished work. Three negroes were stretch cd out on the dining tables and eacn one of these negroes had a hole in ms body made by bullet from the revolver of Douglass.
 The wounded negroes are Henry Hall. Arthur Adams and Sellers Turner. Their wounds are not of serious nature. Douglass escaped.
 The shooting occurred few minutes before 10 o'clock at the store of l.. IL. Venable on Bell Street. west of the rail- road bridge. A number of negroes were standing at the bar in the rear of the store. They were talking of a quarrel that had occurred during the day be- tween Eugene Douglass and Arthur Adams. Hardly had the conversa ton ended when Douglass entered the store, pistol in hand 1t was reported that he fired five times into the crowd supposed ly at Adams. Three negroes were struck and two of the shots went wild. Doug lass rushed from the store and escaped.
 The wounded negroes were badly fright ened. Their companions were equally excited
 Tho police were informed of the shoot ing and squad was sent to the scene. They brought back with them the wound ed negroes.
 Surgeons were called and the wounds of the negroes were examined and the bullets extracted. Arthur Adams was shot at the border of the ribs two inches below the middle line. His wound was quickly dressed and he was allowed to leave the station.
 While the surgeons were examining the wound of Henry Hall. the worst wounded of the negroes, they found a 3S-calibre ball instead of a 32-calbre ball which had been fired from the pistol of Doug lass. The officers upon inquiring found that Arthur Adams was said to have re- turned the fire of Douglass and it is be- neved that the ball from his pistol in- ficted the wound on Hall. Officers were sent after Adams but at a late hour last night he had not been located.
 Hall was shot in the right side, below the ninth rib. The ball passed out over the centre of the spine.
 Sellers Turner was shot in the right side of the mouth. It was flesh wound and the negro was not badly injured. Mounted Patrolmen were on the look out for Douglass last night, but were not able to locate him. The roads were watched and 1t is not thought that he escaped from the city. Warrants were sworn out for him for assault to murder in three cases.

H. & B. Beers Cotton Letter.


 New Orleans, Oct. 1.-The action of Liverpool would indicate that the bureau was discredited but our market notwith- standing. opened unchanged to one point higher, and subsequently advanced 5 to on fresh buying predicated on fears of a cold wave in Oklahomaa nd Arkansas over Sunday. Realizing, however, caused all the improvement to be lost, later months closir one point lower and late positions wtIe practically unchanged. The Government predicts that the tenn perature will fall over Oklahoma and posed localities. While the chances are killing frost will not materialize. the in- dications point to lower temperatures and it is claimed that this will retard the growth of the plant. following the recent beavy rains. If frost is late this season. many are of the opinion that the second growth will add materially to the out turn. Others believe that it is impossi- ble for this gro Htn to mature as it started too late, and will certainly be killed by frost before maturity. In the m6anwhile the bureau conditions figures frost before maturity. In the mean willie the bureaus condition figures of 68.3 per cent are discraited by a number of large operators who claim that the crop outlook is more favorable than last wear, and it Is due to the diversity of opinion existing in the trade regarding fEe report that it has not as yet executed any marked influence on values How ever every season there are differences of opinion as to the size of the crop and the probable range of prices. and it is such factors which occasion fluctuations 4n the article. In the meanwhile, we are daily drawing nearer the frost period, and spinners are showing evidence of talk ing hold; therefore. we continue to think well of buying on all breaks with view of realizing on spurts.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES SPECULATION FAIRLY ACTIVE
 DURING THE DAY. Crop Advices Were Mixed, But a Majority of the Reports Re-
 ceived Told of a Short a. Crop of Staple.

New York. Oct. 1.-The cotton market opened steady with prices 1 point higher 1o points lower and for a brief period Mas inclined to wavcr under realizing by 1ne room longs and some bear pressure. However, as the weather south continued 100 cool and wet for the best interests o1 the crop and as the commission houses were abundantly supplied with buying orders. the whole list stiffened up toward Hne end of the first half hour January reaching S90 and May s.1. Speculation Was Fairly active all the early session, with sentiment disposed to lean toward the bull side on the theory that Europe would continue to absorb the bulk of the cotton as it reached the ports and that oomestic spinners would support prices In interior southern spot markets. The private crop reports from the belt were mixed, some reporting improvement, but Inc great majority telling of short crop prospects, and continued deterioration owing to prolongation, of the wet spell and period of cool nights. Receipts were liberal, but were ignored, the trade givtng attention chiefly to crop and weather reports. The Liverpool cables were trifie better than anticipated and were accompanied by moderate buying orders.

New Orleans, Oct. 4.--In the spot cotton market the offerings were large and com prised an excellent assortment even in- cluding the lower grades which have been in rather meagre supply of late. Hence buyers experienced no difficulty in making selections and though takings were fairly large the only bar to heavy trading rested upon the differences as between the views of holders and pros pective purchasers. Sales. 4,a50 bales. in- cluding 800 to arrice. Quotations un- changed.
 The future market was quiet through out the short session. trading being con- fined largely to the December. January and March positions. The market opened even to 1 point up. After the opening prices were bid up to points before a halt was called and thereafter underwent a series of narrow fluctuations that brought the figures down again and left them standing at the noon closing at just a partial point below yesterday s range.
