While rust and. shedding continue

hindered by heavy rains, and picking
is now begun in the northern districts.
In Texas cotton has improved slight

the whole very little new fruit is form

northern counties.
Late tobacco has been unfavorably

HAYWARD, WICK d CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

New York. Sept. 13.-The bureau
proved less bullish than looked for, but
the market, after declining to net ad-
vance of only 4 or points steadied up
again. with shorts nervous.
Wall street having sold on the way
up, during the morning, was thought
to be buying at the decline. With a
big crop needed so badly there can be
no doubt that frost, as early as this,
or at anv time within the next thirty
days would have a very bullish effect
on sentiment. and while any material
advance, as a rule might be partially
lost. as a result of the big receipts, we
hardly think it wise to remain short of
the market. at a time when weather
conditions are so unsettled.

Cotton took a decided turn upward
yesterday during the early part of the
day, because of the general expecta-
ton that the weekly bureau report
would be decidedly bullish. The open
ing was at an advance at both New
York and New Orleans. and the ad-
vance continued until at New Orleans,
the list was 20 to 26 points higher.
Then the report came and though
bullish it proved less so than had been
anticipated, and prices broke, though
a part of this loss was afterward re-
gained and the close was active and
firm at both markets at substantial ad-
Vances.
In the local spot market the open
