 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. I2-As Liverpool ad. vices were net encouraging, our market opened about point lower. and subsequently, declined SOY points additional on the weakness of the New York stock market. Later in the session reports of heavy rains in Northern Texas and the Indian Territory and better demand for spots at higher prices, caused an advance of SOIL from the bottom. making the net gain 2@4 points on the day. During the past 24 hours fair weather has prevailed over the South with the exception of showers in Okla homa and Northwest Texas Rains, however are predicted over the greater portion of the valley and West Gulf States tonight and Tues day. Manchester cables say that the cloth market last week was quiet. the diminution of buying from China and the apathy displayed in the Indian trade having depressing infiu- ences on all the shrting manufacturer. New ertheless. hopeful feeling prevails as regards the near future. The fear of war between Russia and Japan has accentuated the want of confidence and added consistently to the unset tied condition of finances in this country. Not withstanding the various factors against cot ton, there seems to be a better feeling and an improved demand for spots has been established at higher level. The expectation of unfavor- able weather and lower temperatures setting in generally. If realized, may be instrumental in occasioning further enhancement provid- ing the improved demand for spots continues.
