NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 19.-Fulfilling pre- dictions of yesterday weather in the South west colder, freezing with frost at Amarillo. in the.

Such movement is not in keeping with the universal reports of farmers hold ing back their cotton. and it looks as though they are not practcing what they are preaching.

The most remark able feature in connection with the situa- tion is the steadiness of values under ex- isting conditions very bearish ginners' report on cotton ginned to October 18th is expected within few days, receipts are heaviest they have ever been, and the spot demand of late Is not what 1t should be- yet the talent and the public in general is afraid to sell under l0c no matter what developments come to the surface in favor of the short side. having had the experience of witnessing market react quickly every time December went in neighborhood of SAC. The world Is in need of a large crop and the speculative public Ia aware of this which makes them more disposed to buy on easy periods relying upon some favorable feature to make its appearance and bring about an advance The weight of cotton Is getting too heavy to look for such mar kets as have had of late. stocks are getting altogether too large and speculation is insufficient to sustain values unless un- favorable. cold, wet weather sets in or un- less spinners think prices low enough to entar market. which they are unlikely to do since arket has a LownwardI ten dency

Q. E. PIERCE CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

By Private Wire from Gtbert & Clay.)
 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 19.-The decline in the prices of options In Liverpool was ac- counted for by the tenders and small specu lative support resulting i'm loss of much of the early improvement. Spots. on sales of 1000 bales. lost points and contracts declined points.
 Our market opened about unchanged on near mo nths and moderately higher on late positions. rather prompt response to higher levels was observed to the freezing weather and frost reported on weather map In the section bordering the northwestern portion of the cotton belt. Government fore casts indicated that the cold weather with frost would extend into northeast Texas. Arkansas and the territories. Later the increased values induced fresh selling caus- ing complete loss of the early gains, the receding prices being checked temporarily only by a storm warning involving portions of Mississippi and Louisiana
 Probably the most encouraging feature at present is the improvement in the dry goods situation. Trade conditions in gem eral lines have shown betterment and all though stocks of dry goods are known to be very small buyers have been very re- 1uctant in purchasing in excess of immediate necessities
 Pending more settled weather conditions we expect a nervous and cratic market to abtsin and s. 2uld damage occur. as q result

suit, Both Badly Wounded.
Des Moines. July 26. H. W.
Schurts and G. H. Schurts, two broth
ers, were seriously shot Saturday night
as the result of drunken assault up
on the home of a friend. Both will re-
cover, however.
The Schurts brothers were twitted
by several women at the home of a
friend to get drunk. They declared
they might as we'll have the game as
the name and started out late in the
afternoon to imbibe all the booze they
could hold Thoroughly drunk ,>they re-
turned to the house where the women
were staying and frightened them I'M
til they ran to neighbours. The drunk
en- men followed and bombarded the
place of refuge with brickbats and
clubs until Sylvester and Oliver White
came out with guns to drive them
away. After an interchange of blows
the guns were brought into action with
the result that both the Schurts
brothers were badly wounded. The
Whites were placed under arrest.
