NEW ORLEANS Oct. 23.--As Liverpool ad- vices were not encouraging, our market opened 2G6 points lower and shortly after declined | 5 additional from the top on free realizing in the face of heavy frost being predicted in Arkan- Bas. Oklahoma and Indian Territory tonight and light frost in Louisiana, Northern Texas and in the Northern and Central portions of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. The easi- ness of spots and less demand also accelerated the decline. In the afternoon room traders covering and fresh buying caused an advance of Yes from the bottom. making the net loss 4d5 points on the day. The amount brought into sight during the week was 444, 0oo against 457, 900 last year and the total mar -keted from Sept. to date has been 2.09o. 0o0 against 2.6o2, 900 last year. The 3I leading interior towns during the week received 2S9.- 900. against 297, 900 last year and hold in stock POP 900, against 4o3, 900 last year Liverpool says that while the South stiff their market was influenced by warlike ru- mors and would possibly have declined more except for the support Of several with bear ish crop estimate superinduced selling here and the pessimistIc feeling prevalent was as sisted materially by the weakness of spots and the withdrawal of exporters from the market There seems to be a growing feeling that a reaction Is in order, as 1t Is claimed that the pressing demand for spots Is filled and 1t Is expected that receipts will be on a more lib eral scale. While outside factors may be bear ish sentiment in the cotton trade Is very bull Ish on the theory that the crop will not be suf- fcient to meet the requirements; therefore. with this feeling existing the chances are that values will be maintained unless some new feature enters the situation.

Virgin G Faunce's Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Cotton futures in the local market opened firm fin tone Friday with first prices unchanged to an advance of points. There was a strong feeling for time in consequence of covering of short contracts The support was encouraged by firm cables from the Liverpool market. though private ad- vices from the cotton belt. telling of frosts were also a consideration in this connection. The market broke as the day wore on and the trade became rather bearish as a result of heavy selling for the account of Southern in terests. The local crowd did lot of realiz- ing but on the decline the trade became more active. The advices from the far East were quite unfavorable. in that there was lot of war talk. The general situation in this con- nection was rather unsettled and many inter ests were disposed to hold of pending some definite announcement with regard to the policy which is to be pursued by the countries involved in the controversy. The announce ment by Lloyds however, that they are carry ing war risks at advanced rates on Russian merchantmen was considered as the most se- rious feature yet developed. The fact that foreign agents were bidding for all the coal tonnage they can secure was also the subject of bear discussion. The amount of cotton In sight from Sept. lst. 1908.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS Oct. 23.-Spot cotton easier and there was apparently no urgent demand ex- cept for a few grades Sales. 7.S50 bales, in cluding $500 to arrive. Quotations declined 3-l6 on all grades.
 Futures at the opening were 3d6 points higher than yesterdays closing. Prices were showing their usual buoyant tone and bills were looking for another strong advance when rumors were received from several quarters that war had been declared between Rssia and Japan. These. together with another ru- nor of large crop estimate caused heavy selling by shorts and liquidation by longs in the New York market, operations which were quickly taken up by local traders. Even a bad forecast predicting frosts in many sections and heavy frosts in some did not have the eff feet of stopping the selling and late In the morning prices were 6@7 points lower than the close of yesterday and from 10 to l2 points lower than the highest level of the morning. In the late trading there was an improvement of a few points, the net losses being 293 points on the easier positions, including February. while the more distant months from March to July lost s points each,

FIRMNEss DEVELOPS AFTER 'Ssst THE OPENING.
Rpmor That Japan and Russia Will Soon De Fighting Causes e Sharp Break In Prices
 of Options.

NEW YORK. Oct 'as-rhe cotton market opened at unchanged prices to an advance of points and showed 2 little further strength on the call in sympathy with the recovery in Liverpool, which market after opening lower than expected had rallied to about the level considered due to the New York closing of the previous night. Another factor in the early nrmness was private reports of frosts along the Northern Texas line and anticpations that the into sight for the week would fall below early estimates. On the other hand. port re- ceipts for the day bid fair to prove heavy and the recent advances naturally attracted more Or less realizing that soon after the call the advancing tendency was checked. The market continued fairly steady for time, then a rumor was circulated that war was to be declared between Japan and Russia. This led to a sharp break which carried prices down about e4l5 points from the best of the morn ing. The report seemed to have little definite basis. however. and while the estimated re- ceipts for the leading points tomorrow were moderately dull the official forecast called for -frosts in the Western belt and by midday the market had returned to within a point or two of yesterday's hnals, After this it ruled ir- regular, first selling off under realizing and then toward the close recovering most of the loss as result of tine renewed bull support Trading was fairly active during the entire session. but mostly professional in character The market closed steady. net points lower to 2 points higher.

IBy Private Wire From c. W. Lee Col
 NEW YORK; Oct. 23.-Some options on the list sold back to 10 cents this week Early in the month October sold at practically 9 cents. Prices have advanced about or S4 a bale on the failure of cotton movement to be overwhelm- Ing and the competition between domestic and foreign consumer in the markets of the South. The feature of the cotton situation of late has not been speculation. That has proved sec ondary factor Nor has 1t been the buying by the American spnners. The most signif- cant development has been the heavy purchases for foreign account. notably by the continent For the season exports have been only 24o,- 900 bales less than last year. while the amount of new crop in sight is over $50. GOO bales behind last year. Developments for the past season are still too fresh in memory to need repetition. The country over-exported cotton. And yet exports are now taking a larger per- centagc of the crop coming in than the case during September and October, 1902 This development is significant. Again the visible supply fails to catch up in any way and is some 600, 900 bales American behind the figures of 1900. With crop accounts giving evi- dence of much smaller yield than was thought possible two months ago the situation as regards supply appears much the same as that of year ago. While the adverse fac tors in the situation outside the cotton world are many and trade conditions seem to grow somewhat more unsettled from week to week there are many considerations which operate against the short sale of cotton for a decline in prices. We refer to the relation between the New York and Southern markets in this connection. The local stock of cotton accumu- tptoh ue thIo punt uy tHc COTuST III July, Au- gust and September has dwindled to SC, 900 bales. Of this 1t Is said that fully 20 600 bales will go out during the next few weeks This will leave a merely nominal stock and one upon which 1t will be difficult to base a suf- ncient suply of contracts to do a good specu- lative business. In order to replenish the stock 1t will be necessary to adjust New York and Southern prices. Cotton selling at 9% in New Orleans can hardly be brought to New York for delivery on contracts at 9% without loss
 We are steadily drifting towards the same con dition of things that resulted in the corner of last year. A few minimizing men have sold cotton short at much lower prices and the
 situation grows perplexing daily As
 prices have had big advance we are not in-
 clined to buy at this point. but would pick up cotton on any break There Is no reason for cotton below eh cents as long as things are
 as they are

 NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-Cotton further ad- vanced this morning when the market opened There was some hesitation in the Liverpool market. nevertheless local support was still forthcoming. The expectation is that the spot demand will continue to hold for some time since evidence is constantly acumulating that the crop is going to be short and spinners are beginning to doubt whether they will be able to secure needed supplies by abstaining from the market much longer. Everywhere with few exceptions the crop is doing poorly and the be- lief is gaining ground that the yield may fall considerably below last year. As to the price the main bear point is that it is entirely too
