NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept 10.-Spot cotton quiet, sales. 4,025 bales. including $500 to arrive. Quotations 3-1ec lower.
 Futures opaned quiet at a decline of 60 F points. The disappointing attitude of the Liverpool market a decidedly bearish visible supply statement an,s a favorable weather map. which. following many days of good weather. did not bear out the re- ports of continual deterioration that were still received from the fields. These were among the bearish features. but the most potent was the fact that the supplies of cotton are slowly but steadily accumulat. inG and the spot demand Is not at all strong, AS it was at the end of the week, fresh trading was naturally restricted. but the bears received more encouragement than they have had for. a long time and predic- tions were freely made that a lower mar. ket would be seen next week
 In the trading October opened 6 points lower at 1oc. and finally sold down to 9. 9l: December opened 10 points lower at 10. O1 and finall lS,ieSlined to 9.e7. The marke, closed quiet, showing net losses of 1: to l5 points.

Virgin & Faunce's Cotton Letter. tBy Private Wire from J. Walter Labares

NEW YORK. Sept 10.-Movements in the cotton market the past week have been of an cratic nature. The market advanced during the first part of the week on bullish Government report. unfavorable weather and restricted movements at primary points, only to react the latter part of the week under the increased offerings increasing re- ceipts. generally favorable weather over the greater part of the belt. and the with drawal of bull support. The market con tinues, however to be a good scalping one, chiefly influenced by the weather conditions. As stated in our letter of yesterday, the technical position of the market is being strengthened every day by increasing short interest. which. in our opinion, Is be- ing rapidly over extended and which in a very short time must become over-burdened on account of too much company which is being steadily added to, on the short side of the market. Operations for the decline. therefore. are extremely dangerous. especial ly so, since the market has had such a sharp decline from the high prices of the week. We are inclined to still favor the long side of the market as the safest and are advising purchases of cotton at present prices for substantial profits the coming week.

THE FINANCIER.s STATEMENT.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1O.-The Financier this week says:
 ment of the New York associated banks last week was the remarkably close agreement between the loss of cash laet week and in the previous week; and another feature was this gain being about $5.000.000 below the week ending September 3. The loss of cash last week was s7.sossoo; in the previous week it was $7.426.70o, making $15,334. TOO for the fortnight. The decrease in cash last week very nearly agreed with the loss of $S,65s, 200 which was estimated on the basis of traceable movement of money, and the difference between the two amounts may easily be accounted for in great part by the fact that $1,5o0,00o was withdrawn from the banks on Friday for transfer to San Francisco, which sum was not included in the estimates. The deposits were increased 400 and the resulting augmented re- serve requirement was sl.150,35o. which sum added to the loss in cash made $s,065, ,160 as the decrease in the surplus reserve to $3S.426,25 a loss, 1t may be noted, of $1e,- 937.15C for the fortnight. Computed on the basis of deposits less those of $23.35s 200 GoI trnment funds. the surplus is 4t,27s, 200.
 The statement showed good proof, the sum of the increase in loans being less than the loss in cash being only $71s,4oo more than the increase in deposits Loans were expended $13.243.600. making a gain of $3I,- +2s.0e0 In the fortnight. This would seem to reflect corporation borrowing and also large rediscounting by the New York banks for their inland correspondents; it is note worthy that new high records were made last week for loans and deposits. The cir culation was increased sI,0s5.100 last week, following gain of s1,25s.300 in the pre- vious week. The daily average of bank clearings for the five days was $2oo, 000, 900. an increase of $4.0oo.o0o compared with the previous week; the clearings on Saturday. reflecting Fridays business. were s21s.673.- 4S9
 Comparisons show that six banks gained Sl0.000.000 net in loans and eight banks lost ss.0oo.000 net in cash. The large loss of $4.500.0o0 by the banks on sub-treasury operations last week, which contributed to the decrease of cash in the institutions, which was almost wholly due to payments hy banks at this centre into the treasury for account of inland correspondents at the manufacturing cities of excess internal reve- pue collections. this course being taken by tho country banks in order indirectly to pro- cure transfers of money from New York. the excess collection being detained by the Inland banks and amounts corresponding herewith being paid into the New York sub treasury out of the balances of the in land institutions in this city.

LOyEMAN a CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

NEW YORK. Sept. 10 Our opening was considerably better than looked for by Liv- erpoo and general impression was that the leading bear was quietly covering his con- tracts. notwithstanding the very pessimistic views expressed by him in his public an- nouncements The market, however, was so well supplied with selling orders that 1t gave way steadily until decline of 14 to Is points had been established on the far months. October relatively steadier buying for bear interests was largely confined to that month and was continued on a scale down for purpose of covering as cheaply as possible. The West Indian storm has disappeared and fine weather continues all over the belt Picking is going on at a high rate. and receipts and offerings prom tse to continue heavy.

 NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 10.-very full prices are being obtained for the Liverpool stocks and September options are sharing in the premiums for prompt deliveries.

From the recent high levels at- tained by manipuIative efforts, a decline of c cent pound has been recorded and sup port at present prices is apparently ab- sent.

Plant CTS In the South. however. are quietly or ganixing with a view of marketing their crops slowly. Such action has already been put into practice in Texas and Georgia. and we hear of the example being followed in sections of Mississippi, which policy is apt to be taken up and carried out in other States of the belt. The South Is better able to undertake such @ method of marketing the crop slowly than she has been for years, last years value of the fleecy staple bring ing the enormous sum of s617 900, 900, com pared with S4S0, 100000 the year before and t2s2. .000, 900 in 1898 when the crop was IT, 275. o00 bales. Therefore, 1t can be readily seen that the Southern planter is well for tified financially and in a position to make
 the best fthe situation If he so desires.
 The spinner. on the other hand, has been badly crippled. having suffered from high prices during past four years. in many cases losing money . The trade is becoming &C., customed to ten-cent cotton, having had to pay much higher last season. the average price of which crop was 12 15-1o0. compared with S2-100 year before. The talk of a large crop this year has no doubt caused any number of cotton growers to lose faith in very much higher pSices than now ruling .. have probably the continuance of the war il the Far East and the abnormal cost of of fife.
