Believe in Buying Now in All Soft
Spots.

Bel1eNe IN buying NOW IN All SOU
Spots.
New York. Sept. 2S.-For the first
time since the break in cotton started
from TO- 9Oc there was a demand for
futures that led professionals to aban-
don the selling side. This turned the
market to-day and produced much
firmer undertone. There was no
change in conditions, simply that prices
had declined to a point where those
needing cotton were willing to begin
buying. Mr. Norden took trip
through New England not long since
and learned that spinners could buy
cotton at 91s cents, and were willing to
pay that price. This means that when
October reaches 10A cents in this city,
prices are getting to point where
the American demand is a factor. I'm
der the circumstances, the bear factors
that caused a break of so points are
likely to grow less and less a feature
as prices touch this point. Reports
from many sections from the cotton
belt indicate a very moderate cotton
crop. II will be some weeks before
the crop is out of danger of frost. The
frost question never comes to the front
until October. Since the market has
declined to a point where conservative
people are less inclined to sell, and
more to buy, we believe firmly in buy
ing on all soft spots.

New York. Sept 2s.-Liverpool does
not do things by halves. From the
moment of arrival of heavy September
shipments prices of spots and the Sep
TENDER option have come gathering
down. Since Saturday spots have been
marked down equivalent to 116 Ameri-

equal to sc American points. 1t is only
natural that such convulsion should
make its influence felt beyond the de-
partment directly interested, and
prices of other months naturally suf-
fered. but only to a comparatively
moderate extent. The process of re-
adjustment is now nearly completed.
and that market is better able to fol-

a decline at our opening of about s
points. but all of this was recovered
and about 10 more, besides.
