New YORK. Oct 4.-The advance il
the cotton market today is attributed
to buying on behalf of Mr.. Sully, who
is apparently again bulling the mark
ct. this time simply from force OF
habit as far as can be ascertained.
Certainly. there is nothing in the pres
ent situation to justify higher prices
and in my opinion every prospect of a
decline to at least nine cents pound.
The government report definitely as
s1lres a crop entirely sufficient for the
worlds needs, even at nine cents. and
any movement that looks toward
maintaining the price of cotton above
that figure is. in my opinion, fore
doomed to failure.

Dry Goods.

New York, Oct. 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 sellers to ask higher prices
and the depleted condition of many
stocks makes this warranted. JobberS
