MISCELLANEOUS

NEW YORK COTTON, Oct 1.-THE cotton
market opened firm at unchanged prices to an
advance Of 9 points in spite of lower cables than
expected and favorable weather. 1t seemed that
the crop estimate of the state commissioners
of agriculture published late on Saturday, plac-
ing the probable yield at only 10 III 900 bales,
vas bringing in some demand thru wire and COM
mission houses, while there was also support
from large southern speculative interests. But
after selling w or points from Saturday
nights finals the market was weakened by ac-
tive pressure from local bears and the south and
toward the end of the first hour was barely
steady at decline Of 500 points. Port re-
ceipts for the day were not particularly heavy.
but the Houston estimate for tomorrow was full.
Cotton futures opened steady; October, $500;
November, 9.91c; December. $780, January.
10000; February, 1o12c; March, 1o1sc; April.
