baxter and Co.'S cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. 21.-There was a
good deal of surprise this morning on
receipt of very fine cables, the mar
ket in Liverpool showing a. gain of
IA points at the time of our opening.
At the same time a good deal of I'M
easiness was shown because of a bank
failure in Pittsburg. AS regards cot
ton itself the feeling was very fav-
orable on the belief that low tempera
ture of past few days had settled the
question of top crop because the crop
is so late. High temperatures were
the rule this morning but a good deal
of rain was indicated for tomorrow
and this is pretty sure to weaken the
bear position. The movement while
large is not remarkably SO and of
course the consensus of nninton is
yet that no matter how large receipts
may run for some time they will not
run so large all the time as to bring
the total much over the last crop.
Prices opened 8 to Is up with a. good
deal of animation and further gain
was shown when it appeared that re-
ceipts might not exceed $4,000 against
Sc, 900 last year. Gables were 10 to ID
points higher. The Manchester mar
ket for cloths and yarns was
much better. Local shorts were
nervous. Many poor crop re-
ports were coming in. Estimates for

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 21.-TIhe news before
the opening of the stock market to-
day of the suspension of the Federal
National Bank of Pittsburg caused
fears of a violent break in the mar
ket. There were some heavy offerings
just at the opening in some leading
stocks, and declines ran to a point in
a few cases.
Pressure was severe upon United
States Steel preferred, causing a loss
of TX. Fears for the result in the
market were the more acute owing to
the part played in yesterdays consid-
cradle recovery by the published as
surances that the Federal National
Bank was not In need of assistance.
1t was believed, therefore, that the
threatened institution had weathered
the storm. The news this morning
caused measures for supporting prices.
The effectiveness of these became very
promptly manifest, but the recovery
was viewed with some suspicion owing
to the belief in the artificial nature
of the demand. Those on the floor
were surprised at the ease with which
the demand was checked. The buying
was thereafter renewed with vigor and
the market carried upward quite COM
more. Prices retraced their course
during the latter part of the day and
the closing was rather easy and at net
declines for the day, except where the
early gains had been above the aver
age. The cause assigned for the fail

of the year, and the fact that cotton
is supposed to be plentiful now, the
strength of the market is remarka BILE.
II indicates a general belief in a mod

that great deal of literature has been
circulated on both sides of cotton by
one or two people. and a short inter

lean spinners are beginning to wake
up. 1t was not difficult to predict
that this would be the case before
long, and even more exciting times
may be expected before the spring.
The feature of the market to-day was
the same class of buying that took
place yesterday, namely, for foreign
account. AS long as Europe is will

can hardly be much of break in the
cotton market. OF course, one must

for higher prices. We would buy cot
ton on any break towards 91a cents,
moderately, of course. and be pre-
pared for any slight setback that may
come.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Oct. 21.-The cotton mar
ket opened strong at an advance of
s to Is points on active covering and
buying for long account following
cables that were higher than expected
by a considerable margin including an
advance of 10 points in the English
spot market. In addition to the higher
cables the outlook was for larger re-
ceipts for the day and while the wealth.
er was nearly ideal so far as late de-
velopment, picking and the movement
were concerned the market continued
steady to firm after the call in spite
of heavy realizing sales by recent buy
ton theory. All sorts of bull talk
was heard on the advance. Contin-
ued buying of December by a leading
local operator gave rise to rumors to
a corner in that option and after a
slight setback around midday the
market was rallied to a net gain of
II to "a points by reports that New
Orleans bull leader was bidding for
large blocks of March in the South
ern market around 10 cents. The es-
Inmates for to-tnorrow's receipts at
leading points were rather irregular,
Houston and Galveston being large
while New Orleans was light. The
Southern spot markets, however, were
generally firm unchanged to 3-16 nigh

bullish sentiment as did also private
cables from Liverpool attributing the
advance in that market to the de-
mands of spinners who they said had
become alarmed over the smallness of
spot offerings. The advancing tend
ency was also encouraged by the large
exports for the day which footed up
some $4,000 bales. The reported fall
ure of a national bank at Pittsburg
had no effect on the market which
continued firm until near the close
when the demand became less insist
ent and realizing, easing the market
off, it closed barely steady net 10 to
Is points higher. Sales were 900
bales estimated. Port receipts for the
day were 1890 bales against 56,O9S
last year. The New York spot mar
ket was steady at an advance of 20
points, but no sales were reported at
the advance.

In the future market wide fiuctua-

chief among the bearish features was
the suspension of the Federal Bank of
Pittsburg, but the failure apparently
did not affect prices a point. Later in
the day liquidation and profit taking
sent prices down to Is points, the net

NAVAL STORES.

Wednesday, Oct. II.
SPIRITS-The turpentine market
showed the effects to-day of a lesser
demand, and sold off after the open
ing call. The opening was quiet at
SIC, sales 100 casks. and the closing
firm at 561kc, sales $50 casks. During
the late hours the understanding was
that while the inquiry was satisfac-
tory it was not urgent. There were
no reports of sales on any other than
the official basis. The gathering sea-
son is fast drawing to a close, and
as it does the belief is that the market
will reflect the effects of the prospec-
tive lessening in the supplies. The
receipts were III casks, and the ex-
ports 60 casks.
ROSINS-The rosin market opened
firm at the prices below. sales 1907
barrels, and closed firm and unchanged,
no sales. After the closing the de-
mand was moderate, and no large
transactions were reported. At the
moment the demand appears to have
let up some, and exporters are rest
ing upon their oars. No uneasiness
is expressed, however, as the belief
is that the demand will absorb the
entire of this crop at present or high
er prices. The receipts to-day 1862
barrels, and the exports 1,7S0 bar
rels. Prices as follows:

COTTON.

Little of special interest developed
in to-days spot cotton market, which
closed quiet, with the demand fair
from all sources. In view of the rise
in contracts the opinion is forming of
the possibility of a bull boom in cot
ton and for fear of this it is thought
a demand will be uncovered with
further gains. A rise of 20 points is a
pretty fair days work, and it is be-
lieved many such may make spinners
nervous. In the f. o. b. market the
demand was satisfactory. with basis

to have become sufficiently general

Notwithstanding the late reaction in
the market its tone was accepted as
rather convincing evidence of a meas

view of the factors to be contended

threatening aspect of labor conditions

wbelming that it will certainly not ex-
reed last years crop, and may fall
considerably short of it. The damage
in Texas is reported as being particu-
Iarly heavy from boil weevil and
worms, with the result that much
talk is heard about two millions for
the state. In the South Atlantic re-
ports indicate shortage. There is
much talk of 1O,500,0O0 to 10,75O,000
bales. and few estimate the crop above
100000. In the face of limited pro-
duction appears demand from spin
rers which experts say will, call for
