VIRGIN FAUNCE'S COTTON LETTER. (By Private Wire from J. Walter Labaree

NEW YORK. oct. Although Liverpool prices were to II lower our market opened steady at an advance of from to 12 points Prices eased off somewhat after the open ing on profit taking but offerings became scant on the decline and under the buying by belated shorts the market strengthened and the loss recovered. The South bought freely of December and January. as did a prominent cotton house who usually acts for a powerful Wall Street bull clique. The reports of very cold weather in the south together with the reported damage by the overflow of the Pecosi river in Texas stimulated buying and was instrumental in driving the shorts to cover. Spinners bought moderately this morning and foreign buying was in evidence again today. The expectation of the trade is for an into sight movement for the week of 5n6.a00 bales We still consider present prices of cotton too low in proportion to the demand existing for cotton goods at present. and think a price of II cents Is easily Justifiable. Farm CTS throughout the South refuse to sell at present prices and the refusal to part with the crop at the current figures will have a tendency to restrict the interior movement and with the good demand from Europe continuing we can see nothing but higher prices for cotton. We advise the purchase of cotton at present prices for a substantial advance.

G. E. PIERCE 6 CO.'S COTTON LETTER.


 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 7.-The Liverpool market was surprisingly good this morning and additionally improved towards the close. Prices of options were expected to show a material decline. in sympathy with the American rings, but instead loss of only 1 point finally resulted. The stead mess was attributed to both American and speculative buying from Alexandria. Cables stated that a good business was on in Man. chester and buying for that centre would be liberal lines upon the arrival of addi- tional importation.
 The early higher prices here were due principally to the strength of the foreign markets; later, on the forecast of light frost for tonight in the interior of Virginia and North Carolina, additional gaines ensued. In the spot business more activity prevail ed. while prices were firmly maintained in creased supplies were available and buyers displayed much unwillingness to take hold @ more extended scale It can be quite confidently assumed that when the inquiries for actual cotton are good here at this sea- son the interior is experiencing an even more urgent demand.
 The W aather chart. while not perfect, was good enough and port receipts for the day were fairly large. The weekly movement. though not as heavy as last week, has been quite heavy, With a reasonably delayed frost we think values are more likely to be depressed, but we do not expect changes of moment until after a much larger propor- tion of the October commitments shall have been provided for. Conditions sug- gest that we more apt to have a scalp ing market for some days.

cover it.
Two cupfuls Of boiling water.
A very little salt.
One teaspoonful Of sugar.
Stir the soaked barley, without drain
ing. into the boiling water, salt slightly
and simmer for two hours in farina ket-
tle never letting it boil hard, and stir
ring up from the bottom now and then.
Strain through coarse muslin, squeezing
well, and swoeten. Give quite cold OF
