 The regulars took the announcement of day off in a more restrained fashion and set quietly to work polishing up for the division review tomorrow in which 10000 men will take part The review was originally scheduled for today and thousands of visitors poured in to be dis appointed. The postponement was made for a two-fold reason-Governor Beck ham will visit the camp tomorrow and to give the soldiers a chance to make the best possible appearance.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-There Is very little io be said about this market. It Is very weak There seems to be no inducement to buy and every one is willing to sell The move rent is very heavy and long this keeps up it is hard to realize that the crop may not prove equal to the supply later in the year There is buying power in evidence and a few traders have courage to sell on any advance. Spinners cannot see their way clear to buy heavily at the moment, and this com oIetes the bear factors. Wall street keeps uncertain, and every one is conservative. To- day Liverpool did some god buying, but it did not prevent the break later in the day There was too much cotton for sale We feel this is the time to buy cautiously on the short side. It is easy to sell if there Is nothing in the immediate situation to cause one to buy. that 1t may prove very dis astrous to go heavily short just at this time The average trader is Dearish in the eX- treme. The cotton to be turned over on Oc- tober seems likely to carry that option down through cents We cannot advise buying. but we would be very cautious on the short side on such breaks this.
