COTTON CLOSES STEADY
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 22.-The dry goods
market Is not declining any in strength
but there is slight inclination to an in.
crease of conservatism caused principally
by the financial situation. Buyers do not
seem inclined to anticipate their wants
and yet here and there more or less buy
ing is being done for spring and sellers
are securing their prices.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Oct. 22-The cotton market
opened easy at unchanged prices to dc
cline of points following cables that
were hardly as good as expected, larger
receipts at leading points than estimated
yesterday, and excellent weather report
ed over the South. This encouraged real
lzing and some selling for a reaction, but
offerings were limited and the bulls soon
awaited themselves of the situation to
start prices upward and for most of the
session the market ruled very active and
firm. There was heavy buying on the
advance that was credited to leading Wall
Street shorts and the bull leaders sup
ported the market vigorously until Oc-
tober reached 9.S7; December 9.94; JaDu
airy 9.93; March 9.9S and May 1901 The
latter price being the highest so far foI
the season. At this level the covering
became slightly less prominent and after
the wide advances of the last few days
many longs showed disposition to taxi
profits and from net gain of about z tt
II points, the market was sold off in tn
afternoon and closed steady at a net ad-
vance. of 4 to 10 points The estimated
receipts for the leading points tomorrow
were about the same as last year, and
the Southern spot markets were agai,
generally firm and unchanged to &c
higher Exports. however, were lighter
and reduction in the ocean freight rate
from New York to Liverpool seemed Il
indicate less demand for accommodation
from this port. While the advance was in
progress there was further talk of De-
cember corner; in fact all sorts of rumors
tending to unsettle bear confidence were
in circulation. The cables, which at first
were considerably lower than due. refiecte
a firmer market later on reports of quick
settlement in the Japan-Russian cor
troversy which also helped the bulls in
he local market. Total sales of future.
estimated at 700, 900 bales.
