Love71an & Co.'s Market Letter
 By H. & B. Beer.
 New Orleans, October 4.-After deelin- ing about 15 points. compared with the closing of last night, December 9.bS vs. 97S, local future market reacted after publishing of the weekly government Se- port. There was nothing In the report as regards progress of the crop during the week except to say that there was ilght improvement in Mississippi that picking in all sections of the belt was making fa- vorable progress, and that labor was scarce although most of the crop Is said to have been gathered in a number of states already, and as the movement Is the largest on record to date, the report is rather inconsistent with the facts In the case. Opening prices were about b points lower than yesterday. December g. 6s and after selling off 10 poAts to 9.5S. offerings became scarce, shorts being more inclined to accept profits rather than increase the number of their outstanding contracts. Rumor had 1t that a large New Orleans operator. now in New York, was advocating the buying of cotton for in- vestment, contending that the crop VIII not be any larger than what the world will require, which report was confirmed in the afternon Reports of large orders but at low prices, from Europe had a stimulating effect on values during the last few hours of the session, and the long looked for reaction niaterialized sooned than expected, and within very few min utes. Tn the early hours spot cotton was offered at iA to 3-16 lower than quota lions. but improvement In contract values | later in the day closed the spot market steady at a reduction of 1-16 to n-l6; | sales 2400; to arrive TOO.

Dry Goods Market.

New York, October 4.-Buyers are not operating with any enthusiasm. and yet for current needs buyers of dry goods are willing to pay asking prices. But there Is a decided tendency on the part of the sellers to ask higher prices. and the de- pleted condition of many stocks makes this warranted Jobbers are only moder- ately busy with nearby trade.

New Orleans cotton Market.

New Orleans, October 1.-The spot mar ket for cotton opened easy but closed steady. Sales, 400 bales, including 100 to arrive and 100 fob. Quotations 1-16 lower.
 Futures opened easy at a decline of 5 to points, caused by unfavorabe Liv- erpool The market was sensitive. bulls having freely predicted a reaction from the continued declines of late, but until near the close of the session prices were kept well below yestrday's closing lvel. The government bureau reports which were read at Il o'clock were bearish as to favorable conditions for picking. but were bulllsh in so far as they told of the bulk of the crop having been gathered in some sections, and a good percentage of it gathered in many portions. The reports also reiterated former assertions that there would be no top crop. Much was made of the fact that pickers were scarce, while much cotton was open in all sections of the belt. November opened 6 points lower at 9.G1. sold down to 9.56 and finally advanced to 9.77 The market closed firm at the best prices of the day with net gains of points on October and 10 on all other positions.

COTTON.

New York, October 1.-The advance in the cotton market today is attributed to buying on behalf of MT. Sully. who Is apparently again pulling the market, this time simply from force of habit. As far as can be ascertained certainly there is nothing in the present situation to jus tify higher prices, and in my opinion every prospect of decline to at least cents a pound The government report definitely assures a crop entirely suffi- cient for the worlds needs, even at cents, and any movement that looks to- ward maintaining the price of cotton above that figure Is, in my opinion, fore doomed to failure.
