q. 6. Pierce 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

tBy Private Wire From c. W. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK, Oct. 27-The market today showed the effects of profit taking. After such an advance has taken place recently the reaction was in order. There a general feeling that in the event of MT. Buston com ing out with estimate of | ,250, 900 bales as expected there would be a setback. This was partly responsible for the selling today. Shortly after the opening the rumor of this estimate was circulated and several large blocks of cotton came out. While the best people were not taking much stock in esti- mating over ,ooo 900 bales it was known that Liverpool would feel the effects of so large an estimate at this time. Prices have ad- vanced about cent a pound. the short inter est has been cleaned out and now the traders will be called upon to take care of a lot of cotton. The South Is willing to sell at 10 cents. which was not for sale at 9A. But on the other hand, the factors under the cotton position are such that a lot of buying will de- veiop should prices break much below 10 cents. This was noticed on the break today when buying orders were placed in the market on a basis of 10 cents for January and March. Tho appearance of frost at this early date makes the question of production serious one and those who need cotton are not likely to run chances. Reports from the South today showed steadinexs in spot markets. pecu- liar feature of the situation has been the fail urc of spot markets to break. It must not be forgotten that the local stock is small and cot ton cannot be brought here from the South at prevailing prices This will prevent short sell ing for some time. Of course. any good breaks we would pick up cotton.

Virgin 6 Fauncs's Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK. Oct 27.-Cotton futures fin the local market today opened steady in tone with nrst prices at a decline of 2GIo points This reactionary tendency was the result of rather disappointing cables from the goods market There was also an improvement in the cii- matlo conditions and the prospects favored a substantial enlargement in the movement There was quite good deal of realizing. but this was largely the result of yesterdays sen- safional advance. Many interests on the out side were inclined to take profits and commits sion houses seemed to have quite a lot of selling orders. The recognized bull element supported prices quite generously, however and there was some recovery in the market though generally there was considerable irree- ularity. Some of the options were less inclined to favor the bear side. October and December being quite notable in this connection The trade as whole was quite active but the tendency was quite feverish and more or less excited. The spot cotton markets were gener- ally steady, though the demand was noder- ate. while the offerings were only fair The ports for the day were figured at 90, GOO against 7o,S last week and sa.492 last year For the week they were figured at $50 900 bales. against 3I7,496 last week and 3I7sT1 last year and this comparison was taken as an indication that the interior movement was in- creasing on substantial scale.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
PRICES MOVE ERnATICAILY
 THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
In the Afternoon Values Declined Sharply, With the Close Steady at About the Lowest of
 the Day.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The cotton market opened easy at a decline of 2Gio points and while less active than yesterday ruled unset tied and in the last hour was very irregular The initial declines were in sympathy with lower cables than expected in connection with heavy receipts for the day and better weather which encouraged realizing by recent buyers. On the other hand. the expectation was for a buiiish weekly crop report from New Orleans at midday and there was of course great uncer- tainty over the attitude of the leading bull ln- terests These at first seemed inclined to support the market and immediately following the call the nearby positions rallied few points but were soon weakened again and ruled irregular about lo@i5 points net lower was read, showing damage by frosts. but speaking favorably of the progress made in pioking, and prices rallied a few points only to break again. and in the afternon fell of sharply with the market finally barely steady at practically the lowest of the session or net f6924 points lower. Sales were estimated at o60. GOO bales.
 A factor in the decline was a runor to the effect that a Liverpool crop expert now in this city after his annual tour throughout the belt was to issue a crop estimate calling for L. 2Eo,OoO bales Later this report was denied, hut it was understood that the party in ques- tfon would issue an estimate in the near flu fure and in the afternoon houses with Euro pean connections were free sellers of the late Winter and Spring months. Spot markets vert rather less active acording to official report; and changes were irregular. some markets be- ing I-I6 lower and others hc higher.

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-Early Liverpool ad- vices were not quite up to expectation due to profit taking by recent buyers. Later on. how eyer. was better showing there, and this re- stored confidence. Receipts were pointing to very heavy figures. but this caused no con cern. It is now generally agreed that the crop has seen its best and that the yield cannot possibly be increased since the Killing frosts of the past few days and that the question of a further rise to very high limits is merely q points decline. Here, as in Liverpool. profit taking was liberal. but in spite of this. senti- lo soc. 900 was considered very. top figures for
 the crop with god chances of being nearer 10. 900, 900. The short interest is very heavy. splnners are showing nervousness and while prices may halt now and then. the market was looked upon as in better shape for sharp rise than ever before: notwithstanding big estimates rom Liverpool from English operators now in the South. Prices eased of iI9I4 points dur. ing the morning The weekly bureau report gave nothing of importance on the frost aiies- ton; There was a good deal of buying at the decline,h fl which Is thought had proceeded far enough.

 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 27.-Lverpool was disappointing this morning attributed by pri- vate cables received to realizing by longs and not to any disposition the part of the South to sell; at any rate, basis was furnished for a lower opening and our market started the day with decline of from to 3 points, af- ter which the fluctuations were within linn tied range, comparatively speaking. closing at a net loss for the day of from to 2 com pared with yesterdays closing figures. The general situation begins to clear in favor of cotton: the financial position is undoubtedly strengthening and time money in New York Is considerably easier at 4h per cent. as com pared with the almost prroihbitive rates of a few months ago. which is conceded to be a highly encouraging feature. In dry goods. while business continues light there Is much more cheerful feeling to be observed and a tendency to advance prices. Wherever any re- ceding in position is noted. it is op the part of buyers, who however. continue to operate spar tngly Crop news continues discouraging.

 fEuecial to The Adyartiaer.l

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 27.-Liverpool was disappointing consequently our market opened e9s points lower, but shortly after improved rumored that Mir. Buston had issued an esti- mate of ti,25o.ooo bales for the crop, and a decline of ll@l2 from the top was quickly established Subsequently the rumor was de- nied and 1t was stated that Mir. Buston would give out his figures tomorrow. When 1t be- came known that DO estimate had been pro- mulgated as yet. shorts covered and again tom. The easiness of spots large receipts and longs realizing later in the session superinduced another recession of 763, making the net loss Ii9i2 points on the day. The summary of the season was follows: Exceptionally favor able weather for gathering cotton prevailed throughout the week and work was pushed. while Arkansas reports about half the crop picked Texas reports about one-third of the crop still in the field over the northwestern por- tion of the State and picking is completed or nearing completion in other portions. Heavy to killing frosts occurred over the greater DOT tion of the cotton belt and frost was reported from nearly all sections. The decline In Liv- chases believing that the advance has been too rapid and that reaction was in order The American markets in sympathy acted like wise The o g9,t s receipts for she -four days az The semi-weekiy receipts at the 3 leading in- terior towns estimated as pointing to f2e 900. against 10000 last year. The fact that MT. Buston will issue his estimate tomorrow and the fear that it may be bearish had much to do with the feverishnoss of the market to- day, If the estimate should prove to be bull ish 1t Will stimulate values. If. however, 1t is bearish 1t will probably have a depressing ef- feet on values. Providing spinners withdraw their support. The chances are, though that the effect of the document on the whole will be onl ytemporary and the legitimate factors of supply and demand will continue to regulate prices.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-weak outside markets and bearish statistics caused weakness In wheat Der corn was of A@ssc. oats were sc lower and January provisions were from 2h to 7hc lower.
 Selling by commission houses and local trad CTS was quite general at the opening, influenced by the brighter prospects for peace in the Orient. increased receipts in the Northwest and extremely favorable weather. December was unchanged to hc lower at Si$G9l1e and dur ing the first hour declined to sos with very little demand. Commission houses were fair buyers and with a let-up in the ceiling the recovery was only temporary. Larger world s stocks than had been estimated, Bradstreet' 6 increase in the visible of 4,428. 900 resulted in considerable selling the last hour of the day and the market again turned weak, De- cember selling off to sos. Outside markets were all lower and this fact acted as de- pressing influence during the latter part of the session. The demand improved slightly to- ward the close on reports of good export business at the seaboard and December closed at sos. hc lower. Clearances equaled io6. 700 bushels Primary receipts were .22S, 100, against i.e5s.soo year ago. Receipts. i53 cars. contract: Minneapolis and Duluth re- ported 8io. a total of s72 against sS last week and 1 ,o44 a year ago.
 Corn was still tending downward owing to continued fine weather. Trade was quiet with further bear pressure from the provision crowd in evidence. Liberal receipts helped to increase the speculative weakness as did also an in- crease In contract stocks. About the only sup porting factor was reports of poor huskings from various points in Illinois. After selling betwkeen 43M and A December closed A@Sc lower at 43%@43N. Receipts, 6o4 cars. 52 contract.
 Trade in oats was dull and uninteresting with prices inclined to weakness in sympathy with the decline in other grains There was mod crate selling by the same interests that were selling corn, but buyers were few. December ranged between 35%635h and 36H@36A. closing Sc lower at 35A. Receipts 367 cars. Trading in provisions slow and inclined to heavness with prices slightly lower due to weakness in hogs and the decline in grains. There was some support for January lard on the decline. but otherwise the demand was poor. January pork closed 7hc lower at SIP, January lard 2kc lower at S6.65, and ribs down Sc at S6.27h.
