COTTON.

New York. September H-The advance of the past few days in the cotton mar ket Is due to buying on behalf of MT. Sully and to the gratu,tous distribu- ton throughout the soth Of fA~egrams from him advising others to buy. MT. Sully's ill-advised speculation of last year brought disaster not only to him self but resulted in the demoralization of the worlds spinning trade and heavy speculative losses to many who followed him. He attempted precisely the same thing early last season, advancing Octo- Der contracts by his purchases to 10.52 on the 1st of September. only to see them sell at 901 on the 9th of October. I anticipate that approximately the same result will signalize his operations this year, and I confidently advise spinncrs to delay buying until the next monthly government crop report shall have given us a clearer idea of the crop. My own advlces do not indicate anything more than the average crop deterioration dur ing the past thirty days which. taken Tn conjunction with the last government re- port, would indicate approximately the best October condition on record and a crop abundantly equal to, if not in ex- cess, of the worlds requirements at present prices.

LITTLE COTTON IS
 OFFERED FOR SALE
Prices Worked Steadily Up-
 ward Alter the Call
REACTION NEAR THE CLOSE
Foreign spInners Are Absorbing Early Movement 60 Rapidly That Press. ure In the Near Future
 Is Not Expected.

New York, September H.-The cotton market opened firm at a gain of 6G1o points, which was in full response to bet ter cables than expected The weather over the south was really better than looked for, but there was comparatively little cotton for sale, except as some longs took profits and prices continued to work upwards after the call was completed. There were two or three reactions during the session as a result of profit taking on the advance. which amounted to very point of last week.
 The big exports reported late in the day exceeded the bulls in advancing prices, and tho high point was reached in the afternoon trading, when September sold at Il; October at 1885, December at 10 .g4. January at 1o.s6, and March at 11.O5, or 25 to 3 points net higher. Just before the close profit-taking and selling by bear ishly disposed room traders caused par tial reaction, and the market was finally barely steady at a net gain of 17Q27 points.
 Sales were estimated at 6O0 GOO bales The estimates for tomorrow's receipts at lead ing points were liberal, but were fully offset by the large exports, which reached about 75,S9S bales for the day, bringing the total for the season so far up to 340,- 515 bales, against only 11S,S70 bales for the same period year ago, making 1t ap- pear that foreign spinners are absorbing the early movement so rapidly that there Is little likelihood that there will be any actual pressure of cotton on the markets for some time at any rate. Another fac- tor in the advance was the steadiness of the late cables from Liverpool and the firmness of the southern market
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today, 4S H5 bales against 2S,032 last week and 32. 693 last year. For the week. 275,000 bales against 705 last week and 210 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 6294 bales against 6765 last year, and at Houston 11,14S bales against 12,650 last year.

cothran e co.,s Cotton Letter.

For some days now we have been en-
 deavoring to keep customers off the short
 side of the market.
 It looked to us too much as though the
 failure of prices to decline in the face
 of the large movement meant ultimately
 an advancing market The tone was alto-
 gether too firm to warrant the sale of cot
 ton. and for this reason speculative
 chances were In favor of rise rather
 than decline. This has been born out by
 the developments yesterday and today
 There was an extensive short interest
 around 101f, and the market was too mar
 row to enable these shorts to cover with
 out causing a rapid spurt. After the de-
 tail report of yesterday was read people
 began to buy cotton, and before noon to-
 day 40 points had been added to the
 price.
 had on the previous advance, and what
 was true then is true today. It Is not market to buy very much after an advance of 80 or 100 points, but on big decline the buyer of cotton will make money.
 We would go slow on buying side around Il, but would not hesitate to buy again on 30 or 40 point break Around Il there will be pile of cotton for sale, and the movement Is going to be too heavy to permit much of a rise after so extensive an advance. We would how ever. go very slow on the selling as we'll as the buying side of the market, for the contract market is still congested owing to the small stocks in New York. Wheat-There was a weak opening on easy early cables with some selling by Armour people, although 1t was thought that they bought through commission houses. An advance was started on the bullish French news, and the sharp ad- vance in London, but 1t met with very heavy selling through a concern thought
 to represent Patten, and t was the talk in the pit that his line had been liqui- dated. The southwest was the best buyer and while there was some covering by shorts. the close was heavy, and in our opinion prices will work lower. while we would favor meeting all ad ances with sales.

LeIshman e Co.'S Cotton Letter.


 The estimates made by some of the most prominent cotton operators of a crop of less than 11,0OO0OO bales, and whose fig ures were scoffed at when first issued, may prove to be nearer the actual figures than had been anticipated.
 The government report yesterday showed that the private reports of damage to the crop were not exaggerated. On the other hand, the crop has deteriorated badly since the last monthly report was pub lished, and 1t Is evident that If this con- tinues the crop will be reduced many thousand bales between now and the com pletion of harvest time.
 Then again the growing demand for all classes of cotton goods has forced spin ners into the market as heavy buyers, and this has also aided in upholding prices and given the stimulating tone to the market noticeable during the last few days We consider cotton a purchase at present prices. and on all reactions for the present, anyway
