 NEW YORK, Oct. l3.-The early phases of the cotton market were not especially inter- esting. trade being of the same matter of fact character as during the past few days with prices keeping within very narrow bounds The Liverpool cables were a trife better than expected but frost predictions of last night did not materialize. Receipts bid fair to equal those of the same day year ago and the in- dications were that Wall Street bear operator who had been holding the market down for several days was again at work. Following the call prices slowly drifted lower and trade fell of to struggling professional business Then came a very bullish weekly crop weather re- port. Light estimates for tomorrow's receipts and a forecast for frost over the western belt tonight. Still later came reports of firmer and higher spo markets South, the latter confirmed by strong Southern buying here Suliy and Brown brokers came into the market as heavy buyers of Winter and Spring options which show of confidence soon put the shorts in full flight. Moreover, stop orders came into the market and the leading commission house en- tered the market as large buyers of distant months The upward movement was hesitant for time, but by mld-afternoon the covering moyenlent bad grown Into a regular rut of bear forces; The Winter months worked well up toward 9h cents, while distant months were hard to trade fin owing to scarcity of selIers The more conservative operators were inclined to take the bull side for the time being at least owing to the apparent shortness of the crop the unpreparedness of spinners as to spot sup plies to meet the Winter demand for cloths and the undeniable enormous outstanding short interest in all speculative markets.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. I3.-The cotton mar
 Ret thoroughly displayed today the inherent
 strength of commodity recording an advance
 in the face of truly discouraging conditions outside of cotton circles proper. The war cloud in the East and the helpless condition of Wall Street with the prospect of the disturbance in
 finances spreading are solid arguments that cannot be overloked. which. in connection with the apafhy noticeable in mill and dry goods circles. would in the usual course of events precfpitate a decline. The movement how ever, is attracting considerable attention and the receipts instead of exceeding are falling behind last year. which can only be accounted for by believing that the farmer has at last realized the natural strength of his position or else that the crop is smaller than generally anticipated, as the argument that all large crops move slowly can hardly apply to this season in the face of magnificent harvesting
