Baxter and Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York. Oct. 2.-Cotton eased off
sharply during the morning and there
was considerable selling. The market
showed little snap. Outside business
was moderate. The South bought at
a. decline, cables were lower to-day and
the weather was very fine. Receipts
were full. There was nothing stirring
is regards the crop or the prospective
movement. The more settled situation
In Wall street was having good SEN
timental effect on cotton despite the
early weakness to-day. The conclu-
sion is that there is no big crop ahead,
and this view will prevail soon, as
frost will probably appear early, and
1t is generally agreed that freezing
weather prior to Nov. 90 will lead to
the adoption of the lowest estimates
for some time. September closed with
100000 bales behind last year. What
October may do is a question, but even
with an increased October movement
over last year which was 1850, 900 bales,
we expect to see an earlier petering
out subsequent to that date than in
many previous years. There was some
manipulation by bull leaders to-day
who seemed anxious to depress the
market in expectation of a very bull
ish bureau report tomorrow. Gables
were steady at the close at to IA
points loss. Yarns at Manchester move
slowly. Cloths show a fair business.
Estimates for tomorrow: Houston,
1900 to 1920 bales, against 11,49S last
year, New Orleans, $500 to $500,
against $685. Galveston, $4,000 to 15,-
900, against 14S03 last year.

Ware a LeInnd's cotton Letter.

New York, Oct 2-There has been
less than the usual excitement in the
cotton market this week. This was
due mainly to the approaching govern
ment report on the condition Of the
crop in the various states. 1t was
generally expected that report would
show a decline of to II points and un-
certainty over the extent of this de-
cline led to more moderate trade in
futures as we'll as the elimination of
the interest already in the market.
Some feared the decline would be
greater than expected and some were
of the opinion that the deterioration
was not as great as reported. The
crash in the stock market left the
market very irregular At one time
the prices advanced sharply and then
lost all gain No one cared to buy
freely and few desired to SELL, Cot
ton was offered freely from the South
receipts being the heaviest of the sea-
son. 1t is to the developments out
side of the cotton industry rather
than to events inside the cotton world,
that caution is directive influence.
Many who would be free buyers of
cotton as a result of the crop deteriora-

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Oct. 2.-The cotton mar
ket opened weak, 9@15 points lower on
the lower cables, excellent weather for
both gathering and developing cotton,
and apprehensionS of October notices,
which caused special liquidation and
bear pressure in that position. Shortly
after the opening the market was rail-
lied point or two by covering, as it
was seen notices to no material extent
were forthcoming, but the estimates for
to-morrow's receipts at leading points
We're heavy, and Notwithstanding the
fact that the trade is facing a govern
ment condition report tomorrow that is
expected to make a bullish showing,
the market ruled weak during the re-
mainder of the session, closing within
point or two of the bottom at net
decline of l5@23 points. All sorts of
rumors We're circula ting. 1t is asserted
that the New Orleans stock has passed
into the hands of an interest that not
long ago was heavy seller of the early
months; that the New Orleans contln-
gent is heavily short both here and at
Liverpool, and it was reported that the
former New Orleans bull leader was a
heavy seller here during the afternoon.
The Baltimore failures also eXerted an
influence, as the parties in question
were believed to be concerned in sew
eral Southern industrial enterprises,
and their collapse was thought likely
to shake Southern confidence in the
market Exports were light, and while
private crop accounts continue bullish
on the average the easier tendency OF
spot markets generally and the unsat-
isfactory demand from spinners seem
ed to stimulate bearish sentiment. Sales
were 100000 bales, estimated.

ton are willing to stay. aside for the
moment and await the effects of de-
preston in the stock market. This
Is the critical season of the year. Often
the market breaks seriously under the
weight of cotton from the new crop,
only to advance later in the year. 1t
is too early in the season to form def
mite idea of supply or the demand for
cotton. At best there are only guesses
to be had as to production and they
are now on much smaller scale than
was the ease a month ago.. If reports
are to be relied upon, there will not
be any oyer-produetion this year. But
cotton is maturing rapidly and is be-
ing shipped in larger quantities. There
is no heavy buying in any direction.
