 Holding by Farmers.

NEW YORK, oct. rI.--Ths cotton market opened steady ct a decline of 4012 points. the loss being in response to easier Liver pool cables, excellent weather and the con- tfnued heavy movement to the ports. But there did not seem to be great deal or cotton offering at the break and foiiowinE the call the market was slowly rallied by moderate bull support and covering
 It was generally expected that the weekly Weather Bureau report issued by the New Orleans station now that the bulletin from Washingtcn had been discontinued for the season, would make bearish showing. but in spite of this the continued talk of hold ing in the South and a fair inquiry for spot cotton in connection with the outspoken bullishness of the Southern market leader prevented free selling and by midday prices were net scr points higher. At this level the weekly report was read and proved very favorable as to climatic conditions, al- though the statements as to the large pro- taken by the buiis as favoring the idea of q moderate production The effect of the re- port was besrish. however, and after 1t was read prices gradually worked off to about the low point of the morning. They were rallied slightly just before the close and the market was finally steady at . net loss of 265 points. Sales were reported of 2So. 900 bales, according to estimates. Trading was again largely professional but it seems that wire houses with Southwestern connections were getting in little more on the long source was very buliish. Port receipts for the day were very heavy, but exports. too. were large and the total ciearances so far for the season amount to 11L2so bales. against 6ss,i62 bales for the same period last year.

She received many letters and tele-
