I.oyEMAN & CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 2s-Position of cotton market practically unchanged from at g.. 37, against g.. .59 today, and fniddling at 9kc. compered with s-1sc today. Price fluctuations were confined within radius of 35 points.

On the other hand. however, spin ners continue to take cottcn on a wholesale scale, act erting 31S.0N0 bales during past week. against PAP, 900 last year and 212.000 year before last, since Sept. 1st 1.S5s 900. 900 year fore. These figures bring spin ners talsings thus far this season close to a basis of 11,o90,0Q0 bales for the season, which is the estimate of this seasons con- sumption of Ar1t ricaLs by MT. Ellison As to future course of values 1t remains a Ques- ton as to whether or not this crop Is over 11,250. 900 bales. Owing to lateness of last seasons crop. 1t would not be fair to make comparison. with movement of one year ago. on which basis the present movement would indicate crop of about 11,0T2g00. By far the best method of judging whether crop was early late Is to take receipts of new cotton prior 10 Stpt 1st, and in this we find arrivals of new cotton at market prior to end of August year before last to have been larger than what they vera this year. s6.5S1. against T9.745, of the previous -ecord crop of 1898 early receipts Of new cotton were sE.S2i. compared with Te.74s th.s season 1T we make comparison with year before last, this years crop Is running on a basls of it.294.ooo; if with 'kc bis crop year Of 1898, then the movemtn. t5 on & basls for crop of I17so.0t0. steadlness of market of late has been due to operators looking for falling off in movement when we en- ter month ot Move and it remains to be seen if such antic:petons will be real izsd.

 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 2s.-The partial clearing of the political situation in Eng land did not have buoyant effect on the Liverpool cotton market, which closed from two to three points lower than logic ally due. Cable opinions were rather pes simistic, believing that a long interest ex- Isted and that the trade was well covered with contracts. Withal spots showed a slightly better tendency and advanced two points.
 The slightly lower prices observed at our opening were in accord with the lower for eign market but considering the excellent weather map a further reduction would not have been surprising. However, there was no disposition to depress values and an ad- vent of a good demand for spots shorts eov- cred. with some fresh buying caused an ad- vance. The visible supply statement evt- denced an unexpectedly small increase in American cotton. and the mills takings for the season ere shown to be much larger than last year and on a parity with the year before. while the taizings for the week were considerably in excess of the breeding two years. These figures were quite convinc- ing in that spinners were willing to take the.staple on a liberal scale around present prices The ginners' report to b. issued on Monday, while not a final sumrna' of the quantity ginned to October 18th z uld en- able traders to form correct est .-eates of the probable ultimate amount I've see nothing at present to justify a marked change in prices in either direction. and continue to Believe that scalping market will ensue.

with little trouble to get rid of their

RAINS PUT FULL STOP TO THE

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Grand Forks. N. D., June 1T is not
often that regular seeding operations in
the northwest run well into June. This
year would have been an exception had
it not been for the weather, which has
put a stop to the work, apparently for
good. Since Wednesday there has been
more or less rain In various parts Of the
state, and Friday the valley was literally
besprinkled. Enough rain has fallen to
stop seeding operations for the time be-
ing, and in many cases they will not be
resumed OF course, there will be still
some grain sown, but this will cut little
figure in the general result.
The condition Of the early grain is all
that could be asked for. The weather has
favored 1t in every way, and by the mid
die Of this month 1t will be as far adj
vanced as in any ordinary year, despite
the lateness Of the opening Of the season.
Late grain has not made such Roadway.
In many cases the ground on which it
was sown was baked before it could be
reached, and on the low fields it has been
almost impossible to bring the soil to the
proper condition for seeding. In cases
| there has been no termination.
| For these reasons the rain has been an
excellent thing for all sorts Of grain. That
on dry ground has received an additional
stimulus, and that on ground where the
soil was baked will have chance to
sprout.
