 Iy Professional Operations.
 Port Receipts 62,551.
CLOSED NEAR THE LOWEST

New York, October 19-The cotton mar ket opened steady at decline of to , points, or just about as due on the ca bles. At first the market showed frmness with some demand from the parties con cerned in yesterdays advance and through wire houses with southwestern connection. Liverpool rallied after the local opening, and prices here advanced to a net gain of about to points.
 A little later, however, private advices from the south telling of rather unsettled conditions In the interior spot markets encouraged the bears, while it was also considered that the barometer lines indi- cated the approach of warmer weather and prices began to work downward They did not display particularly striking weakness, but during the balance of the session were barely rallied, and at the lowest at a net loss of about to 10 points, or a decline from the best of the morning of practically 15 points.
 Sales were estimated at only 100000 bales, representing almost entirely pro fessional operations.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today were 62,551 bales, against 5S.426 last week, and 4299O last year. For tho week 400, GOO bales. against 394,793 last week. and ST. 496 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 16,701 bales, against 11,936 last year, and at Houston 1576 against 14,594 last year.

 Futures opened steady at an advance of 5@10 points on continued demand for both accounts, promoted by firmness in the European markets and additional cables from Brazil, showing an unfavor- able outlook of the coming crop. But at the advance smaller longs turned for profits. Added to this was some offerings and sales against purchases in Brazil and some arbitrage business with Europe, and the market lost points of the gain.

influential banking representative, owing to the long interior discussion which had been given for a week previous to it's ex- pected optimistic tenor. For this reason it's admonitory tone towards speculative excess, and its expressed opinion against the warrant in actual conditions for the height to which prices have been lifted, even at their present level may have in duced some counter moves in the market by those who had operated on the fore casted speech.
 The new director elected by the Erie board yesterday was made the center of the flood of rumors concerning that stock with which its early advance was accom- panied Last prices were considerably above the lowest, but the rally on short covering at the last was not well held, and the closing was irregular.

 Government forecasts indicated that the cold weather with frost would extend into northeast Texas, Arkansas and the terri tories Later the increased values induced fresh selling. causing q complete loss of the early gains, the reeeding prices being checked temporarily only by storm warning involving portions of Mississippi and Louisiana.
 Probably the most encouraging feature at present is the improvement in tho dry goods situation.
 Trade conditions in general lines have shown betterment, and although stocks of dry goods are known to be very small buyers have been very reluctant In pur- chasing in excess of immediate necessi- ties Pending more settled weather con ditons we expect a nervous and erratl' market to obtain, and should damage en' sue as a result of severe weather oi storms. higher prices will most probably be seen, although the large movement ane l increasing stocks would indicate lach of permaneney in any material advance.

 The cotton market opened quiet but steady and advanced further on covering of shorts induced by the fear that the cold snap will reach the northern part of the belt and produce serious damage to the crop. Miss Giles estimate of a crop of Il 300, 900 bales did not prove much of factor in the trading. After the open ing bulge there was some selling for profits, which caused reaction, but the tone remained steady and quiet and gem erally professional There was also some bear pressure in evidence, but 1t was not aggressive enough to cause any short de- cline in prices. The southern shorts cov- cred moderately and a prominent Wall street operator also bought. We think that the market will advance considera- bly, further within the next week and that purchases made at present prices will prove extremenly profitable within a short time,

Futures opened three points days closing. Immediately after the op- ening the market was fairly active and prices advanced a few points. These con- ditions, however continued but a short while when values eased off under bear pressure and increasing bear sentiment based on the heavy movement and the increasing stocks at interior points and reports as well as the increased crop esti- mates which have been put out since the week opened. The better prices around the opening were caused by low tenn peratures in the Texas Panhandle accom- panied by heavy north winds and much rain in Texas In the trading Decem- Der opened up 2 points at 9.S5, sold up to 9.90, and finally declined to STA The market closed dull with net losses of { to 10 points.
