LOvEMAN & CO.'S COTTON LETrER

NEW ORLEANS Oct. 21-Another de- cline Of about 13 points was recorded today when compared with closing of yesterday December selling low as o. 53, against 6s' Lower prices were influenced by a contin- uance of favorable weather in belt Kener- ally clear and cool. except light frosts in central and eastern sections of the cotton region. and heavy rains In North Carolina Other unfavorable features tending to de- press the market were the large weeks In- sight, 564.000 bales, against 444,OO0 corre- spending week one year ago, making total in sight to date 100000 larger than last years movement to market; but by far the most bearish factor on the short side was the large increase fin stocks at pri- mary points. 30 towns showin-s an addition of 94.000 against 5s.o00 last r~,ar and 57. 900 year before, total visible holdings of the interior amounting to 375.000. one year ago 21l,ooo. year previous fo2.50o This rapid accumulation of supplies at primary points made an unfavorable impression upon quoted spot markets at the ports, New Or leans closing steady at a decline of Ac, sales 2,40o. to arrive 5000. middling 9ssc. Traders have in mind the coming within few days of the census ginners' report on cotton ginned to October 18th the first bulletin of which Is expected in early part of next week, probably on Monday. This document Is expected to be very beaiish owing to the earliness of this crop and the open fall experienced for the picking and ginning of same. It is generally expected that there will be as much as 6,000, 900 baleF reported ginned, compared with about B. 'V"'vVV iast year. proDaoiy more, as there are those who are looking for as much as 100000. which Is hardly probable when farmers are devoting their time to gathering the crop rather than trust to future bad weather. especially when ginning can be done under wet or dry weather. It was not the movement from plantations that made this weeks insight SO large, 1t being due more to the accumulation of stocks at wis. ible interior towns as receipts from farmers were only 2s0,6OS against 250,022 last year. 2S6.7SS year before and 35o.sA3 in 1901. Next weeks movement of last year was b12Oo0, and 1t is not likely that we will receive much more this year. and November insight last year was largest on record with exception of 1898 and 1897, figuring B. 317sO00 compared with about 23SO,O0O In years cited. Compared with November movement of 1902. insight of last year was 475.000 larger and were 1t not for fear of traders anticipating very bearish gln- ners report, we would say that decline has been carried far enough, as spinners will soon begin buying.

G. E. FIERCE CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

.l
 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 21-To the excel lence of business in Manchester manifested by spinners calling for cotton on contracts was attributed the slight improvement in the Liverpool market. Jobbers were also reported buying. The early declines placed values at the recent parties with our quotations, but the revival was sufficient to cause a small net advance for the day Spots declined points on sales of s.00A bales.
 The slightly higher prices observed at our opening were of short duration. The cold weather in central and western b.t with frost quite general in those sections induced some early buying. but upon publication of the estimated weekly insight figures, a fresh selling wave caused a material decline. The crop movement is surpassing all rec ords and spot dealers are finding 1t neces- sary to make concessions to effect sales. although some improvement in the demand is noticeable At the present time there seems very little to justify permanently bet ter prices, but the value of even a large crop with reserves of both raw material and manufactured goods exhausted at the be- ginning of the season, is not necessarily ex- tremely low, and although values may he further depressed we expect constant reao. tions furnishing opportunities for scalpinR | moderate profits.

ADDS CAR OF NOVEL DESIGN
st. Paul Road Makes Pleasing Ar
rancement for Women Travellers

rangement for Women Travellers.
Something entirely new in the way
of railroad equipment has just been
procured by the Milwaukee and ST.
Paul road for use on it's Overland Linn
tied train between Chicago and Oma-
ha. 1t is what is called a composite
observation" car, the idea being to
furnish women passengers an oppor-
tunity of taking in the beauties of the
scenery with the greatest possible
amount of comfort and entirely free
from the fumes of tobacco smoke. The
car is divided into two main parts,
one of which is divided from the 9TH
er very much after the manner of a
compartment sleeping car, with a
lobby running down the side of the
inclosed space. This Enclosure is for
the use of the smokers and those seek
ing other refreshments from the buff
fet.
Another noteworthy feature of the
new style car is it's extraordinary
strength. Throughout the car there
has been placed series of steel
arches, which bind stills and sides to-
gether and strengthen the roof in a
manner which renders the car almost
indestructible.
The interior woodwork is all of st.
Jago mahogany and presents very
rich appearance. The car is lighted
with Pintsch gas and electricity. Ii
is also furnished with electric fans by
which the temperature may be mod
Grated in the hottest summer weather.
In both the observation-room and
smoking rooms writing desks have
been provided and in the observation
room library and stands on which re-
cent periodicals are always to be
found
