New York Cotton Futures.
Baxter 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, September 29.-Today was a direct contrast with that of yesterday, and instead of the further Generalization which had been looked for, the opening was only slightly below yesterdays clos ing and there was a steady and import ant improvement to the close. There was no news over night to account for a change In speculation form excepting the news that the Keene Union Pacific suit will be withdrawn. Later in the day this was confirmed. It was apparent how ever, in the early trading that concert ed support had been arranged for oyer night, and when the traders realized that all offerings were freely taken there was a rush to cover shorts. Crop advices con- tinued favorable, and there was no fresh adverse developments in the monetary situation. On the contrary, the street was full of rumors of new combines and deals which were declared to reflect a re- adjustment of any disturbed relations be- tween important railroad interests which may have helped to cause the recent ten dency to liquidation. Advices from Lon don reported better feeling also. The entire list advanced substantially over ? per cent for active issues. Pennsylvania gained almost per cent. The market closed active and strong at about the best prices of the day.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-09-30

lxet improved decidedly All this helped the cotton market. News prevented a decline under pressure of large receipts. Port receipts were estimated at 72.00O bales against s1,00O bales last year. In view of the lateness of the crop this was a large movement and buyers were not in evidence to an extent that would cause a decided improvement. After the recent sharp advance, there was more, or less selling but the September advice prevent ed shorts selling. Holders took profits and there the selling ceased. In general there was.no more conviction on the part of the trade than heretofore and the majority were inclined to await the monthly re- port on Saturday. The weekly report was far from favorable. It was one of the worst of the season and this caused a very conservative feeling in every direc tion. There was no trading of importance. Few large blocks changed, however, out side conditions are not good and this prevented buying. Crop news could not be worse and this prevents selling. We are frank to admit we don't know what to say about the market or the outlook. If the figures on Saturday are very low we may have an improvement in prices. But it will take a change of opinion to care for all this cotton now coming in and at the same time advance prices. The move ment is pretty free and spinners are not going to stock up heavily with all the trade of the country in a reactionary con- dition. We would go slow on both sides of the account.

Quotations reduced 1-16. The future market was decidedly nervous. Liverpool cables were worse than expect ed and they caused a decline which was immediately followed by a recovery caused by reports of heavy rains in Tex as. An uneasy feeling in securities cou- pied with the dumping of 10000 September notices on the market sent prices down again and at Il o'clock they were sent up to the highest level of the morning by a bullish weekly government crop report At the opening September 9.56 and sold up to 9.70: October 9.33, sold up to 9.42; November 9.31, sold up to 9.35; December 9.33, sold up to 9.3S; January 937. sold up to s42; February 93S. sold up to 94 and March -950 and sold up to 953 These fg- ures apparently started a brisk selling movement and prices were sent down from to 13 points.
