BAD WEATHER LENDS LIFE
TO NEW YORK MARKET.

New York, Sept. 23.-The morning
market was active and excited with
prices advancing to within point or
so of the previous high level but later
in the day business dwindled and the
market lost part of the advance, al
though it closed steady at q moderate
gain. The opening was steady at UNI
changed prices to an advance of z
points. At first trading seemed to be
somewhat apathetic, but soon after the
call there was greater activity on con-
tinued bad crop reports from private
sources and rumors that frost had oc-
CURED in the Carolinas last night.
There was active bull support on this
news and with Liverpool rallying, New
Orleans firm and nearby shorts cover
ing, the market showed a net gain of
about is to "a points. In the afternoon
business seemed to be falling off some
what and prices gradually reacted, but
there was persistent buying of Octo-
Der on all weak spots. and this impart-
ed a certain firmness to the entire list.
The close was steady at an advance
of 2G15 points. Sales were estimated
at 400, 900 bales. Liverpool was said to
be buying here early and houses with
New Orleans connections were also
good buyers.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-09-24

No one believed that the price of fu-
lures correspond with the value of
spot cotton in the South. so that there
was pretty good buying around l0k
cents. Early this week and extern
sive short interest formed around 10ia
cents and below, and was forced into
the market on the unfavorable weekly
weather report. The narrow charac-
ter of the market left only a limited
supply of contracts for sale and the
short covering lifted prices to about
II cents. Trading increased in ac-
tivity and the tone of the market has
been such as to keep cautious traders
from the short side. The market has
had too much the appearance that it
had around 9l2 cents to warrant any
thing i'm attempting the shore side,
however cautious he might be about
bulling cotton. The attention of the
trade has been attracted by the doings
of Mr.. Sully and Mrs. Price, whose
circulars have been respectively bull
ish and bearish and circulated widely
throughout the country. Mr.. Sully has
come very close to the crop for two
years and Notwithstanding his failure
last year in a speculative way his es-
innate was probably as close as hui
man ingenuity could attain. When he
says that crop this year will be TO-
000, 600 bales, the trade is interested,
though perhaps not convinced. The
crop was cut down last year by frost
to the extent of 500 900 bales, and any
estimate now must be made without
the knowledge of frost dates. 1t may
be, of course, that we are to have
killing frost at Il very early date and
cut off the crop disastrously. Then
again we may have a late frost i'm
which event the crop would be fully
500. 600 bales larger than with an ear
ly frost. Mr.. Price, on the other hand,
takes a bearsh view of the outlook
on large receipts and poor trade. His
crop estimates are changed so fire.
quently every few months throughout
the year that figures from this source
hardly claim much attention. The
net result of conflicting views has been
to cause an irregular market but in
the main the tendency has been some
what hard. The supply of contracts is
so small and the question of frost so
important that we are not inclined to
the short side of the cotton market
at the present time and would adj
wise purchases on all recessions.

Daily Cotton Letter, to Hayward,
Wick & Co.

New York. Sept 23-Lower Wall
street brokers have seemed to be buy
ing the near months. The bulls were
good buyers during the early trading,
but all the advance seemed to be re-
ducing their lines, and Liverpool and
New Orleans bought. New Orleans
sent very bullish news to the local
market, and advance in sympathy with
local prices, while Liverpool, after our
opening, also advanced. Receipts for
the day were moderately full, and the
estimates for tomorrow modest. At
the moment the market is governed
entirely by speculative operations.
There is as yet no accumulation of cot
ton to show what the legitimate trade
think of the advance. We are in
formed fresh business in spot cotton
is at a standstill. and that the dispo-
sition among these buyers is to await
confirmation of damage reports by the
government bureau on Oct. 3. We do
not think this report will fully confirm
private advices. Our own investiga-
ton into the crop is under way and
will be available before the govern
ment report is published. Pending this,
we believe in adopting a very conserv-
ative attitude.
