DEMERE & HAMMOND'S
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE steady fall
ing off in the movement has begun to
show marked effect on prices. Liver
pool was points lower on
futures and points higher on
spots to-day. Our opening prices
proved to be practically the
lowest. and while there has been no
great activity January was once more
carried across the 10 cents line. Only
to meet again with a flood of selling
orders, which sent the price back or
points. Still the close showed a net
gain on day of about Z points. 1t has
come to be so fashionable to sell the
the market short whenever January
reaches 10 cents, that professionals
look upon a rise of this sort as
golden opportunity not to be missed.
As the recent decline has not been
sufficiently great to allow of much
profit taking, that the short interest
has been steadily increased as the re-
suit of selling at each successive rise.
The figures of movement have al
ready a distinctly bullish tinge, which
will be more strongly developed the
coming week when we compare with
the banner total of $4,000 bales last
wear. and 1t would seem that selling
fever has reached the danger point,
and that shorts may soon find the ~
cents for January low price instead
of a nigh one. Liverpool is quite pull
ish and evidently anxious on the
strength displayed by the Southern
markets.

There was a slight improvement in
the cotton market yesterday, so that
even though the close of the futures
markets was not at the highest point
of the day, yet gains of from 6qS
points were shown by the American
markets, and of 2@3 points by the
Liverpool market. Liverpool also show
ed an advance of 4 points on spots.
The lessened movement for the week
and reported bad weather in the south
western part of the belt were respon-
sible for the improvement in New
York
The local spot market was unchang-
ed from the close of the day before,
opening quiet at csc for good middling
and closing without feature. No sales
were reported at the opening, but as
the advance in futures became evident
demand improved to a slight extent, so
that 512 bales were reported at l o'clock
and another 100 bales by the close.
The lessened movement is being shown
at Savannah. as well as other ports,
the receipts yesterday being consider
ably smaller than those of the corre-
spending day, either last season or the
season before.
The tone, prices and sales for the day
follow:

Care Of the Farm Horse.


During the busy months Of the year
farmers are anxious to get all the work
possible out Of their horses. which Is
proper enough. Food alone will not do
the trick. A horse may be fed the
best of rations, but he needs care in
addition, SO try these things which
may seem simple, but which will do a
great deal toward making the horse
contented and more valuable to you.
Keep his coat clean. not only by
brushing and the use Of the comb but
use water on him freely, especially
during the warm period. When his
work for the day is done take sponge
and wash each part of his coat where
<he harness touched. II his muscles
are sore take equal parts Of iodine and
sweet oil, mix them and rub the mix
ture well into the joints and tendons.
Wash out his mouth occasionally and
take care of his feet. Above all, in
warm weather see that his stable is
we'll ventilated and that screens are
placed SO that vermin are kept from
annoying him. In watering the horse
let him have 1t before eating and also
small supply between meals, even
II he 10 warm. 1t will not hurt him
unless you give him too much.
