in this connection The local stock OF cot

dwindled to $4,000 bales. OF this 1t is said
that fully 10000 bales will go out during

ply of contracts to do good speculative
business. In order to repenish the stock

97sc in New Orleans can hardly be
brought to New York for delivery on con
tracts at 934c without loss.
We are steadily drifting towards the
same condition of things that resulted in
the corner of last year. A lew unthlnk'
ing men have sold cotton short at much
lower prices and the situation grows more
perplexing day by day. As prices have
had a big advance, we are not inclined to
buy at this point. but would pick up cot
ton on any break. There is no reason
for cotton going below nine and halt
cents per pound, as long as conditions re
main as they are.

Raleigh. n. c., Oct. 23.-Some options
on the list sold back to ten cents this
week Early in the month October sold
at practically nine cents. Prices have adj
vanced about three quarters OF a cent OF
four dollars a bale. The failure of the
cotton movement to be overwhelming and
the competition between domestic and
foreign consumers in the markets of the
South are practically responsible for the
advance. The feature of the cotton situa-
ton of late has not been the speculation
That has proved secondary factor. Nor
has it been the buying by the American
spinner. The most significant develop
ment has been the heavy purchases for
foreign account, notably by the Continent.
Fer the season exports have been only
24O, 600 bales less than last year, while the
amount of the crop brought into sight
il, over $50, 900 bales behind last year. De
yelopments OF the past season are still

The country over exported cotton, and
yet exports are now taking il larger per

the case during September and October
