DEMERE 4 HAMMOND's
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York,

York,
New York, Oct. 10.-A net advance
of Is points has been scored to-day
without any exceptional activity or ex-
element, but, with an underlying
strength which was unmistakable. The
same news came from every direction
in the South; steady demand from .eX-
porters to fill October shipments. At
most points prices are hc higher, SO
that it is not surprising to find future
shorts nervous and disposed to cover.
Liverpool mail advices speak of re-
markable activity in Manchester, am
a cable from our representative abroad
says: Manchester trade is best in fif-
teen years. Fall River expects TO see
the end of the strike there within
week, and to test the temper of the
operatives who have shown strong
signs of dissatisfaction lately, the Sea-
connect Mills will throw open their
gates within a few days, ready TO
start at the reduced wage rate pro-
posed eleven weeks ago There is ev-
cry indication that enough hands will
report for duty to start the spindles on
full time, and other mills are prepared
to follow as soon as the first break
takes place in the ranks of the strik-
ers. Colder weather in the South serves
to keep before the public the danger
of frost, over present at this season of
the year, but the foundation Of pres
ent faith in cotton, and the hope of
much higher prices is the knowledge
that a natural forward sales for Oc-
tober shipments have been enormous,
and that a natural movement from
first hands will not be sufficient to
meet exporters needs They will thus
be forced to draw out cotton by adj
vancing prices to level attractive to
holders, such a situation is naturally
tempting to manipulation, and all
signs points to the probability OF "A
bull movement within the next week
or two. There Is a large short inter-
est i'm the future markets, as well as
in the spot department, and signs of
nervousness are already visible We
believe in buying cotton now for a
good advance.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-10-11

active day in the cotton market, with
prices ruling generally firm. The open
ing was firm, at an advance of SOLE
points in response to better cables than
expected
Private cables ascribed the advance
in Liverpool to lighter Southern offer
ings and continued prosperous trade
conditions. The reports of smaller
Southern offerings tended to color the
private reports from the South con-
corning the disposition of planters to
hold cotton for higher prices.
Trading during the early session was
quiet and seemed to be largely profess
sional in character but as the session
progressed and prices continued to
work higher, outside business improved
somewhat, with wire and commission
houses, with Southern corrections good
buyers. Helped by this, the bulls bid
aggressively and toward the middle of
the afternoon caught stop orders, with
the result that prices shot up about
21622 points above Saturdays finals.
Toward the close realizing by room
longs and some pressure from bearish
sources let the market off slightly, but
the market was steady at a net adj
vance of 14Q16 points.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.

Futures opened steay at an advance
of to 10 points. Liverpool being bet
ter than expected. The weather map
was unusually good, showing that
fine picking weather prevails generally
throughout the belt and the predictions
for tomorrow indicate that favorable
weather will continue. The movement
is decidedly bearish, receipts at ports
being 10000, against 1874 last year.
Notwithstanding the bearish features,
prices throughout the session remain
ed well above Saturdays finals. De-
cember opened points up. at 10000,

January or points over the high point
Of last week. There was a great deal
lof cotton bought quietly and this
prevented much of an advance. 1t
will not take much of an advance now
to start some of the larger shorts and
this will have the same effect on prices
that covering at 10 SOC did. For some
time to come we don't care to bull
cotton after a sharp rise of y cents
or more. For this reason we would
not advise the same policy on an adj
vance to 10l2 cents that was in every
sense the part of wisdom at 10 cents
and below. Then every thing led trad
ers to buy on every decline and stick
to their cotton. There was bound TO
be a change when holders could sell
at a good profit. But around 101z cents
there will be "a different situation even
should a scare of shorts run prices
higher. There Will be actual cotton for
sale over 1O15 cents. On a sharp ad-
vance now sentiment is likely to grow
cautious. We would wait for another
break before buying.

GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
POLICEMAN WILL RECOVER.

Policeman ]. A. Dorman, who was Sc
riously shot at Cordele by a gang of
negro gamblers, will probably recover.
Sid Morris, Yves Harvis and Frank
Summers, three of the gang, have been
landed in Jail. They have given the
names of ten others who were in the
party and it is only a matter of short
time before most of them will be cap
tured. Several, it is thought, are badly
wounded. A crusade is being made on
gamblers in Cordele.

to Be Incendinry.

The Mill n Total LOss-Fire Believed
to BE Incendinry.
Statesboro, Ga, Oct. 10.-The entire
ginnery of the Bulloch Oil Mill. three
quarters of a mile from the Court
House on the Statesboro and Savannah
Railroad was burned to the ground
this morning, entailing loss of $4,000
with possibly one-third of this covered
by insurance. Included in the loss
was the cotton house, with twenty
one bales of seed cotton, gin house
with eight gins, press and engine and
other machinery.
The origin of the fire is a mystery
and in all probability will remain 50
as there has been no one even con-
nected with the premises there since
Saturday afternoon, when the gins We're
shut down. The management has al
ways observed the strictest rules of
precaution.
RUDE Alliff first saw the blaze on
his way TO the gin with cart load
of seed cotton, when about three hun
dred yards from the mill.
7. w. Wilson, manager of the mills
said, that while he regretted the mat
ter as much as he could, he had ex
erted every effort to keep the hazard
up to high standard, and if the fire
was not due to incendiarism, he did
not deserve any of the blame.
This is the second season of the Bull
loch oil mill and not only is its burn
ing a severe loss tc this seasons bust
ness, but a great inconvenience to the
farmers as the gins have been taxed
to their capacity and the fact that the
country gins are hardly able to get
sufficient water to run their engines
with such a large cotton crop will af-
feet business in this section very ma
terially.
