fBy Private Wire From C. W. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK, Oct. l5.-Shorts experienced a bad fright in cotton today and in covering heIped the bull leaders of yesterday to put nr1ces up some I2 or more points from final bids of last night, There was little in the Liverpool cables to encourage bears, as prices mere up some 263 points from the level due oH our close. Weather conditions over the belt were fair, temperatures over northern districts were considered too low for late cotton. More over freezing temperatures were shown over inc extreme Northwest, while the forecast for the cotton belt indicated generally lower tenn paratures tonight. Receipts were not up to nfndictions nor were the estimates for tomor- row in keeping with general expectations to- aay After opening several points over the close. the whole market settled back under realizing sales by room longs and Hull in Southern buying and reports that spot markets Foufh were firm and generally higher. started a sharp rise and frightened the shorts afresh. This wave of buying did not recede until with if Winter. months had reached 955 and the May and Iuly options hadsworked above g. 50, Wall Street bears for a time opposed the ad- vance. but gave up the fight when Sully and Brown brokers swept up all offerings at g. 50. The late private wires from the South stated that croD estimates in Georgia and South Carolina were being severely pruned and that the yield in Texas will be very light. also that Northern spinners. Southern sptnners and fxnorfera were bidding freely for prompt ship sasSnt cotton while holders were showing great reluctance to sell except on a scale upward. f.ommissio nhouses report the public showing more interest in cotton and to be going long for a protracted scale.

WALL STREET. REVIEW
THE PROFESSIONALS EFFORTS
 PROVE UNAvAILING.
Attempts to Sever Railroads from the Demoralized Industrials Prove Unavailing-Little Done
 After First Hour.

NEW YORK. Oct I6-The professional traders in stocks renewed the attempt today to divorce the movement of the railroad stocks from the depressing influences now overhang- ing the industrial securities. The effort met with rather less success even than was the case yesterday. There was more business done dur ing the first hour than at any other time dur ing the day. After that the market fell into neglect owing to the evident futilty of the ef- forts to attract buying for the railroads. manifest. but the Industrial securities continued to suffer in spots. The reported disruption of the Southern Pig Iron Association. further slight reduction in the price Of Northern pig iron and a decline in the official price of cop per were pointed to as concrete evidence of un- favorable trade conditions. This view was not frightened by the rather negatively favorable opinion of The Iron Age which asserts that evidently consumption is keeping up much better than would be supposed from the dis couraging reports in circulation" The re- newed break in crucibie steel preferred Ut Pitts burg with tho official intimation of e possible passage of the dividend was another unfavor- able factor and the explanation that this might be necessary to carry the Clairton steel plant. the sale of which to the United States Steel Corporation has fallen through. gave an inn- pression of growing friction in the trade. Op- orators iu stocks also kept one eye on the proceedings the shipbuilding hearing all day. Amalgamated Copper shared in the early weakness of this department and made a new low record There was an active speculation in this stock its dividend chances. But the announcement that the regular dividend had passed almost unnoticed. The declaration of an initial dividend Reading second pre- ferred immediately following the Amalgamated second income seemed to have a cumulative effect and there was a sharp scramble amongst the shorts to cover just at the last. Norfolk and Western. Baltimore and Chesapeake and Ohio were exceptionally heavy in the railroad list, apparently, on the report of a reduction in freight rates on soft coal to the seaboard. The rumor that the Gould interests would acquire the Seaboard Air Line possibly had some in duence also this group. Money continued to work easier and sterling was inclined to harden. the cotton bills in the market being insufficient to supply the demand for bills to cover exchange. sold previously.
 The bond market was dull and inclined to be heavy. Total sales tpar value). $2. GOA, 0o0 United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

-Proprietors

the rumors of war in the far east have for the present been dispelled by official reassurances from all sides Yet it Is realised that the me- gotistions now going on are of supreme iul- portance and may reach . dangerous dead lock. Finances appear to be on the mend. Eng fish consols record an advance for the day as does silver. and 1t is said that the crops are calling on New York for less money than ex- pected by reason of the stronger financial posi- tion of the country -at-large. which should shortly be reflected by easing time loan rates In Wall Street. Manchester reports yarns quiet with cloths in better demand and while opera tions in American dry goods have not been on an extended scale there is decidedly more in- duiry from buyers. who realize that their stocks are down to . level which will require some actfve buying to restore to . normal condition. The policy of retrenchment. however. seems to be gathering force. but the general feeling is decidedly more hopeful and as we have sev- erel times pointed out consumption can de- crease considerably and leave the supply prob lem critical one. Port receipts are larger than anticipated and in reality reflect the sales recently made at advancing prices and should the producer adopt the policy of feed ing his holdings as ocasion required, it would be difficult if not to say impossible. to cause a decline The country today asking and obtaining better prices and all offers were readily absorbed at an advance of h over yes- terday's quotations. The correct policy in our opinion Is 10 buy on breaks.

F. q B. Beers Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. i5.-As Liverpool ad- vices were encouraging. our market opened 3 Q6 points higher. but subsequently, eased of on realizing. Shortly after. though, the con- tinuance of a good spot demand at higher prices brought in fresh buying, causing an ad- vance of l3Gi5 points from the bottom. Room traders taking profits near the close superin- duoed a recession of 405 from the top, mak- ing the net gain 90 2 points on the day. The expected light interior movement and a smaller weekly amount to be brought into sight during the week, combined with the frmness of spots and the prediction that unsettled weather will prevail over the valley and West Gulf States tonight and Saturday. have all been instrumental fin establishing the improvement today. While there seems to be a want of con- hdence generally in the commercial community. spiners are inclined to buy for their immediate requirements. Therefore as long as they are free takers of spot cotton it is likely that higher level will be reached. The outoide in iuences which may eventually have a tendency to occasion a recession in values are not be- ing considered. for the moment. by spinners. and they evidence some anxiety to secure a supply of the raw article. they will make the market. Consequently as the majority of operators think well of cotton the chances are prices may enhance further. providing export CTS and spinners do not suddenly withdraw their support.

The offerings as a whole were only moderate. and the general market displayed steady undertone. The speculation as the day wore on turned rather dull The trade was narrow. and there appeared to be quite little cotton for sale for the better levels However the bulls were buyers and shorts appeared to be quits nervous The port receipts for the day were figured at 45,o0o bales. against 6l." 6Il last week and 4h40o last year.

 NEW YORK.

The receipts were not running up to expectations. or, rather. they failed to pick up as was considered they might, and 1t may be said that until they do it is not wise to be short of the market. It is now certain October receipts will be much under last years figures. which exceeded i.e20. 900 bales. The question which concerns the trade now is to what extent the deficit so far can be made up. There has been some holding back. of course, but even this Is felt cannot bring the figures up to a point where a yield Tn excess of last year is assured. Early prices were l@4 points higher on covering of shorts on fears of frosts. further rise followed. Leading operators were buying March, Hous- ton received only half last years receipts and t. was understood that mill people were grow ing nervous. The port receipts were estimated at 45. 900. against Al 900 last var. Cables were unchanged to 2 points higher. Cooler weather was indicated for the Southwest.
