Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct 2.--The cotton mar
ket opened weak, 9 to 10 points low
err with scarcely a rally, and sold down
to a level of about ii to is points be-
low last nights finals. The initial de-
cline was due to heavy liquidation and
selling for short account, encouraged
by the lower cables and excellent
weather, which led to the prediction
OF another spurt in receipts.
II was also argued that the Balti-
more failures would have a tendency
to undermine Southern confidence in
the market and induce freer offerings
at lower prices. Perhaps more i'm
portant influence, however, was the
idea that October notices would be
issued. As the session progressed II
became evident that whatever may
eventually transpire in this direction,
not enough to matter were in circu-
lation today. Whatever steadying in
fuence this may have exerted was off
set, however, by the more liberal es-
Inmates for tomorrow's receipts at
leading points. At first the market
was fairly active but later ruled gener-
ally quiet, selling being restricted by
uncertainty over the probable showing
of the government report on Saturday.
October cotton is now selling at a
discount as compared with January,
of points, while at one time tnis
morning it was about 20 points under
the quotation for May, and It would
seem that apparently the only basis
for such a relationship is the expect
alton of notices. In this connection
we quote that the ocean freight rate
on cotton to Liverpool has been ad-
vanced cents per 100 indicating ap.
parently a fair inquiry for shipping
accommodation from this point, and
It is by no means certain that the
present New York stock will be de.
lvered on October contracts. If not,
an advance all along the line seems
probable.

The views of each being known in
