The future market was decidedly
nervous. Liverpool cables were worse
than expected and this caused a de-
cline which was Immediately followed
by a recovery caused by reports of
heavy rains in Texas. An uneasy feel
ing in securities coupled with the
dumping of 10000 September notices on
the market sent prices down again
and at II O'Clock they were sent up
to the highest level q the morning by
a builsh weekly government crop re-
port. At the Opening September was

Baxter and Co... Cotton Letter.

New York, Sept. 29-Prices were
lower this morning, and prices were
forced down by weak holders regard
less Of the strong points in the cotton
situation and almost wholly because of
the decentralization in the stock markets
of New York and London Neither the
weather nor the crop movement COUNT
ed for much. while Wall street was so
unsettled, although as to cotton itself
close students of the situation could
see nothing but what should warrant d
bull market. We are so near frost that
it is considered unsafe to be short of
the market-in fact, anything near
freezing weather the next two weeks
would cause such stampede to the
long side as never before witnessed, and
lead to very low estimates. since many
already believe that the crop cannot
exceed last years. Prices were irreg-
ular after the opening decline, and at
one time was close up to last night
figures. September made sharp rally
of 100 points during the morning Re
ceipts everywhere were running very
free, ports reaching 1900, against A,-
600 last year Liverpool declined SOS
points. The weekly bureau was quite
bullish, and especially as to the Texas
situation, the plant ceased fruiting
there, and much of 1t reported as dy-
ing. Estimates for tomorrow New
Orleans, 140O0 to 14,S00, against S7,72S

against 10,257 last year; Houston, 1850

oraole, and at the same time the stock
market improved decidedly. All this
heiped the cotton market News pre-
vented decline under pressure of large
Ieceipts. Fort receipts estimated at r.
wv pales. In view of the lateness of
the crop this was a large movement.
ana buyers were not in evidence to
an extent that would cause a decided
improvement. After the recent sharp
advance there was more or less sell
ing, but the September advance pre-
vented shorts selling. Holders took
prohts, and the selling ceased. In gen
efal, there was no more conviction
on the part of the traders than here
tofore, and the majority were inclined
10 await the monthly report on Satur-
nay The weekly report was one of
the worst for the season and caused
d very conservative feeling in every
direction. There was no trading of
importance; few large blocks changed
hands, and it was difficult to get Cd
orators to take definite stand on the
outlook. Outside conditions are not
good and this prevents buying. Crop
news could not be worse, and this
prevents selling. We are frank to ad-
init we do not know what te say about
the market or the outlook If the fig
ures of Saturday are very low, we may
have an Improvement in prices, but
1t will take a change of opinion to
care for all this cotton now coming in,
and at the same time advance prices.
The movement is pretty free and spin
ners are not going to stock up heav-
lily with all the trade of the country in
a somewhat reactionary condition We
would go slow on both sides of the
account.

ceipts, but almost at once was rallied
by a renewal of the Specta cular deyel-
opments noted during the preceding
day in the September option Shorts
had only until noon tomorrow to even
up their commitments in that position
and after it had opened at H. zoe last
nights closing, il was forced up in
a manner Unprecedented, even in the
exciting times when July cotton sold
around 1900 on the 23rd of that month.
Before the call was completed it had
sold at 12.00c, and before midday had
been run up 10 and Is points at a time
until 13.0Oe was reached. The market
hung for a moment, but the New Or
leans bull leader showed no disposition
TO ease up and the shorts were again
compelled to bid the market up. From
l3.00c to 13.05c was only a step. and
afterward 13.20c was reached, the mar
ket closing at that figure or net $50
points higher. The advance in Sep
TENDER since the close of business on
Saturday is matter of 2.1S points, or
about $1,000 a bale. This gain is con-
sidered purely the result of the rela-
tionship of longs and shorts in that
position, and the temporary as we'll as
speculative character of the gains were
evidenced by the action of the rest of
the market. OF course the predictment
VI OCPLChAOCi oilOIlS served 10 uIlSeI-
tie the confidence of those who had
sold the later positions, but after an
early gain, which carried the prices
to about last nights finals, they eased
off again and ruled well below that
level, although the weekly report of the
Weather Bureau was considered bull
ish, factor and was followed by slight
advance. On the other hand, receipts
were heavy for the day, estimates for
to-morrow's movement full and the
weather considered generally favorable,
though temperatures continue low.
The general market closed barely
steady, net Z to 16 points lower, that
being practically the lowest of the ses-
sion. The New York spot market was
marked up IT'S points, to 13.90c, in ac-
cordance with the advance in Septem-
Der. Sales of futures estimated at 400
600 bales.
