SPIRITS-The turpentine market
closed with the. demand good and the
offerings all taken at the top of the
market. The opening was firm at 56Ac,
sales 494 casks. and the closing firm at
561sc, sales 1853 casks. After the clos
ing sales were made at SIC, with the
entire of the remaining offerings taken
at this figure. Both foreign and domes-
tic exporters were ID the market, and
there was understood to be good de-
mand for everything. to be had. The
fact the outlook does not favor any
material increase fin, the receipts is
having its effect in Strengthening the
market. The receipts were 1852 casks,
and the exports, 1876 casks.
ROSINS--The rosin market was
strong after the closing with the en-
tire of the offerings taken. The open
ing was firm, as shown below, with
sales of 2,758 barrels, and the closing
firm, sales 1915 barrels. The demand
after the closing was good at quo
tations. Pales were in specially good
demand The receipts were 9,O43 bar

New York, Oct. 6.-The cotton situ-
alton has been weakening because of
the shorts rather than any change in
the situation that faVors big crop views.
on the contrary, as the days go by the
crop is less and less promising. When
the bureau report appeared figures
were promptly circulated, pretending to
show that the government indicated a
yield of nearly 12,000,OO0 and the small
fry who happened to be on the short
side, have been pushing this idea, with
the result that the market is worse
oversold than ever. The crop is so
poor and the danger of frost so close
at hand that the resort to cock and bull
statistics is the subterfuge. Everything
favors a bull market and prevailing
prices are at such a low basis that
they win prove very tempting to buy
ers. The mills will be as anxious to
buy when the crop is recognized as
being a short one as they have hereto
fore been nesitating. Good cables ad-
Vanced our prices 2@6 points this morn
ing. This was all lost later on, but
a growing indisposition to get caught
short of the market Receipts, 65 900,
against 1000 last year. There was a
good deal of support of the distant
months during the day by the Sully
people. Gables were about same as
yesterday, and at the close there were
predictions of big falling off in the
receipts before many days. Estimates
for tomorrow: Houston, 10000 to TO-
500, against 1881 last year; New Or
leans, $500 to 10000, against 1854 last
year; Galveston, 14,500 to 1880, against
12054 last year.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 6.--To-day's stock
market lay practically in a 1ethargy,
pending the action of the United States
Steel directors on the common stock
dividend. This action had not been
decided UP to the close of the market
and the repressive influence of the
suspense, accordingly, was not re-
moved.
Dealings were the smallest for many
weeks and, small as they were, large
proportion of the whole was absorbed
by the United States Steel securities,
which were the only stocks In which
the uncertainty over the dividend ac-
ton was made the occasion for specu-
lative price movements to any extent.
This Is largely due to the fact that
the financial world has been in great
doubt over what the effect would be
of the dividend action. The conserva-
ton Of a surplus. it is now believed.
would have held the market price of
the securities better than the distribu-
ton of dividends on the common stock,
which has proved utterly unavailing to
hold the market. The sharp advance
in the preferred stock this afternoon
of more than points. while, the COM
mon stock was but slightly affected,
was due to the party that was in doubt
over the declaration of the dividend,
and which believed that the additional
security for the preferred by the re-
tention of the surplus in the treasury
would result in higher prices. Out
side of the steel stocks the market was
exceedingly narrow and the movements
insignificant. Some of the selling was
reported to be for Western account,

CONDITION OF COTTON.
Conditions as shown By Government
Weekly Report.

Washington, Oct. 6,-The weather bu-
reau's weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
In the central and eastern districts
of the cotton belt there was little or
no rain during the week and cotton
picking progressed rapidly under very
favora BILE conditions. In Texas, Okla
homa and Arkansas, however, picking
was retarded by heavy rains which
caused considerable damage to open
cotton, especially in Texas, where the
opening of the young bolls has been
checked by renewed growth of the
plant. REPORTS indicate that about
one-half of the prospective yield has
been gathered in the central and
eastern portions of the belt, the proper
ton gathered being considerably great
er in Texas, where probably so to 70
per cent. of the crop has been Sc
cured, while not more than 10 per cent,
has yet been picked in Oklahoma, In
dian Territory and Arkansas. On the
whole it appears that slightly more
than one-half of the crop is now
gathered.
The principal tobacco states have
had very favorable curing weather and
the portion of the crop remaining un-
harvested in Kentucky at the close of
the previous week has been housed.
