ROSINS IN DEMAND
AND LOWER GRADES SCORED ADJ
VANCE AFTER MARKETS CLOSE.
PALES WENT AT DISCOUNT
WHERE THEY FORMED LARGE
PORTION OF THE OFFERINGS.

Prices Varied Considerably on
Spirits Opened and Closed Firm
and Unchanged, But Proved Very
Dull in the Late AfternOOn-Fac-
tors Refused Bids of 81 IA Cents.
Rosin was again in good demand
yesterday, though it did not develop
until after the official market had
closed. The opening was firm, at the
prices posted at the close of the pre-
vious day, and the close was firm and
unchanged. The sales for the day
amounted to 635 barrels, reported at
the opening. In the afternoon practi-
cally all, if not all, of the offerings
were taken and at varying prices. The
commons generally from G and below
advanced 215c. while the other grades
went at widely divergent prices. Where
the lots offered had but proportion
ately few pales quotations, in some
cases an advance was paid for them,
while where they formed a large por-
ton of the offerings they went at
discount, w. w. in one case selling
712c down. The receipts were 1881
and the shipments 1874. New York
was quoted steady at $2.S5.
The spirits market was very dull. 1t
opened firm at 521ac, the closing quo
tation of the previous day, and with
sales of 302 casks, and closed firm and
unchanged, without further sales. In
the post-market business the best price
bid was 52Ac, but factors generally
refused to accept this, and as q. result
the receipts were carried over. These
were 424 casks. The shipments were
1,400. The New York market was
quoted steady, at SEC, and London re-
ported 800.

DEMERE & HAMMOND's

Daily Cotton Letter from New York.
New York, Oct. Liverpool advices
continue bullish and spinners are re-
ported to be actively buying, sales,
however being kept within moderate
bounds owing to the small supply
available in Liverpool. 1t must be re-
membered that only a very small
amount of cotton has so far reached
the other side, but as soon as the sup
ply abroad shall be ample, it is ex-
pected that spinners' purchases will be
very large. Instead of a decline of 8
points, which Liverpool was expected
to show this morning, the close there
is only one lower than last night. Our
market has been steady throughout
without any attempt at sensational
improvement. 1t is evident that fu-
ture markets are disposed to follow
spots closely, and it is needless to say
that so long as they work together in
such a groove, the situation is very
healthy. Advices from the South
at full prices. One of the favorab BILE
features of present quiet steadiness is
the probable effect on the dry goods
market. All that the good trade needs
is a staple value of raw cotton, and
if this should be maintained for a lit
tie time, prices of goods would ad-
just themselves promptly, and spin
ners would buy their supplies freely.
The consuming public is not in any
distress and is able to absorb a large
crop. All that is needed is some sta
BILE basis to work on, which will per-
nit mills to manufacture at a profit
Our Liverpool cables this morning
stated that the leading New York bear
was a heavy buyer in that market
and from the operations of certain
brokers here this morning we believe
that he and other local bears have
covered shorts and are now disposed
to help along the advance. Liverpool
is due to come 3 up tomorrow.

J. s. BACHE a CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick a Co.

Wick a. Co.
New York, Oct. 7.-Since the OPEN
ing the market has shown some irreg-
ularity, but on the whole has exhib-
tied a pretty steady undertone, with
prices at one time about 16 to IS points
net higher, following which there has
been a slight reaction on proflt-tak-
ing and some selling encouraged by
the outlook for larger receipts to-
morrow. Private advices concerning
the interior spot situation are more
or less conflicting. We gather that
spot owners in the Southwest are
leading in the movement to hold cot
ton below 10 cents, while in more east
erly sections there may be a DISPOSE
ton to yield slightly in order to move
stocks. We note that the state COM
missioners of agriculture estimate the
yield of Georgia at 1855 900 bales,
against the estimate of 100000 bales
last year, percentage of increase that
corresponds very closely with the re-
ports on which we based our recent
report placing the maximum crop at
11,150.000 bales. 1t looks to us as
though present market conditions war
ranted purchases on any sharp breaks.
We certainly should not care to be
heavily short in the face of frost prob
abilities

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

Business in the sea island cotton
market for the week just ended was
satisfactory. The market showed a
declining tendency, but the decline was
gradual and not very marked. It is
reported that a good demand exists at

price factors seem willing to sell
Practically all cotton offered during
the week classed fancy" both Geor-
gias and Floridas, and the staple of
the Georgias proved especially good.

Total sales yesterday, 1857.

Time l p. m, day before, 1889.
The continued good demand in the
face of the heavy receipts and ship
ments is explained by the fact that a
very large portion of the cotton was
sold before its arrival, consequently
only a comparatively small part of it
is available to satisfy current demands
which are large enough to absorb all
offerings In the f. o. b. trade the
market opened and closed steady at
10 1-16 cents, basis good middling
Business was reported of a satisfactory
volume, much of it done on a slightly
higher basis than quotations because
of the firmness of interior holders.
In the futures markets at New York
and New Orleans there was a general
advance and, though the lists sold off
at times during the day. the close was
at a net gain of from IA to q points.

no change by any railroad from the cir
cular prices because the conditions of
trade had not warranted it. He said
that reduction in tidewater prices
would mean a reduction in miners
wages, according to the terms of the

Mr. Thomas said he conferred with
President Baer of the Reading and
other railroad officials before issuing
the circular of prices, but denied that
any agreement was made as to prices.
George F. Lee, coal dealer or
Wilkesbarre said abrogation of the pur-
chase contracts would ruin the inde-
pendent operators. because they would
not be able TO compete with railroad
coal prices.
