New York, Sept. 26.-The new week
has started without any noticeable
change in the attitude Of buyers Of
dry goods a strict adherence to their
conservative policy regarding cottons

determined to maintain the advances

Representatives of exporters here re-

of cotton at the interior warehouses

large amount of this cotton is being
held by farmers, and they have re-
ceived advances for what money they
need.
The floating stock, however, has been
turned loose in such large quantities
that so far exporters have found lit

in futures was along narrow lines,
weather in the South was favorable for
picking, receipts were large, trade con-
ditions in this country rather unfavor-
able, and altogether factors seemed
against further advance for the time
being. A great deal of cotton was sold
on the rise, and after an advance of
nearly a cent, bear factors that have
no influence on a decline came into
clay. Some of the best traders on the
floor not only sold out long cotton
last week. but went short for a scalp.
When Houston estimates came in 3D.
600 bales this morning and Galveston
estimates 10000 bales, it was no WON
der that the market slipped off to
10.55c for December. 1t was rather
surprising that prices held so we'll dur
ing the afternoon. One cause for the
steadiness was to be found in the short
covering by those who were satisfied
with 80 or IS points, and this held the
market in the face of the adverse con-
ditions. Trading was not particularly
active, though commission houses be-
gan to buy moderately as the price
worked towards 1015c. There is a gen.
eral feeling that for a time at least
and until the frost question is settled,
cotton can be bought on a break OF
30, 40 or so points, without running
very much risk. The question of frost
is too important to permit running
break. notwithstanding large receipts.
