factors to be considered, both outside of and strictly within cotton circles
 x The bureau figures compared with 1902 taken as mathematical problem would indicate a crop much In excess of last year. but it must not be forgotten that the season Is from two to four weeks late. whereas last year the reverse was the case, and when the figures 5s.1 for Sep tember, 1902, were made up the farmer figured on little or no top crop, whereas there was considerable addition to the yield from that source. The visible sup ply figures are unquestionably bearish and show an increase for the week in Amer ican cotton of 241,299 against 1S5, 454 for corresponding time last season. Mill talk ings 300 against 24S,0O0 Which Is not surprising, considerins the price and the desire of the spinner to get his supplies as cheaply as possible. Spots, however, are now down to about a parity with futures and an increased inquiry was evident to- day. We believe that quotations are now around a figure at which the mill men will take hold and that necessity will not per init them to remain out of the market much longer. Finances appear to be on the up grade and while we do not ex- pect consumption to reach the maximum this season, all indications point to a crop beneath requirements. However, we look for frequent fluctuations while the bulk of the crop is being marketed.

Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, october 3--Cables were 5 to points lower today as result of American bear hammering. The weather conditions were favorable for the grow ing crop, and the forecasts were of a similar character. Bradstreets' weekly returns were again bullish.
 There was talk of the coming week showing a big excess over last year in the movement, but since we are so far behind thus far this fact does not frighten bulls. Prices opened to 12 points lower on active selling, and this was accepted by the usual nervousness" showing the effect of bureau reports. The figures were for the general average 65.1 against S1.3 last month and 58.3 last year.
 Prices jumped up rapidly when figures appeared, and 15 to 20 points rise fol- lowed on large transactions.
 The weather was very cold in tha northwest, and this scared shorts, who feared a cold wave in the southwest over Sunday
 Prices eased off after the bulge and the market was again tame.
 Liverpool stocks at the close of the week were 149,OO0 vs. 258,0O0 last year. The visible supply of the world is today 1,- 300 900 as against 1,i39,000 last week and T. .e5s. 900 last year. Port receipts today were estimated at 45,OO0 vs. 5000 last year. 1n- terior receipts were running very full to- day. and those of Galveston and Savan- nah were ahead of last year.

 New Orleans, October 3.--At the opening of the cotton markets it was quite evident that sentiment was overwhelmingly bear ish Liverpool started with a decline which was fully answered on this side. However, the governments agricultural departments condition figures made up to September % of e5.1 compares with s1.2 for August, 6s.3 for September. 1901, and 61 4 the year before and ten-year aver age of 67.4 which was published at 1015 Washington time. was sufficient to arrest the decline and cause a reaction of some 20 points. to 39 for December. when con- siderable short selling set in, resulting in a reaction. final figures are from 2 to ( points above yesterdays B. close
 The future course of prices is now wide open to discussion and there are numerous
