Daily Cotton Letter, to Hayward,
Wick d Co.

New York Sept. 29.-The weather
over the South was good and the esti-
mated receipts at the ports certainly
did not look like an immediate falling
off in the movement. In addition, a
private crop estimate was issued, plac-
ing the condition at TIA per cent, a
same authority last month of about 6
per cent. Should the government show
no greater loss, 1t would mean an Oc-
tober report better than ever before,
but twice in the last fourteen years,
and would point to an enormous crop.
But after selling up to a net advance
of SOLO points on covering, and react
ing a little under last nights futures.
the market showed the absence of Of
ferings, by turning less active and
holding pretty steady. The Wall
street bear leader was out with a cir
cular showing how big a crop might
be expected on an October condition
report of around 72 per cent, but so
many conservative Southerners are
sending in word that the yields in their
sections cannot exceed last years that
there is little disposition to accept the
next October report as conclusive un-
til it has been modified by the Decem-
Der estimate. While speculative senti-
ment remains at present we hardly
look for any material decline, and be-
lieve any break of moment will be
followed by a prompt recovery.

These figures are a simple statement
of the rule Of proportion and make no
allowance for the fact that this crop
is admittedly from two to three weeks
earlier than last year and, to that ex-
tent, immune from damage by frost
Miss Giles report in early September
said upon this subject that this year
only 9 per cent. of the crop was eN-
posed to the risk of damage by frost.
whereas 20 per cent. was so exposed
last year. The comparative degree OF
immunity. therefore. would indicate "A
possible increase Of IL per cent in the
yield on account of the earliness of the
season. This review Of the case was
confirmed by the last weekly govern
ment report In which IL was stated
that 'the Texas crop was too far ad-
vanced for boil weevil to cause much
more damage"
Miss Giles monthly crop report, is
sued to-day indicates an average con-
dition OF TIA. against a condition OF
70 one month ago. and states further
that the indications are for a govern
ment report Of about 20 per cent
I'm this connection, IL is worth while
noting that for the past thirteen years.
the market has never failed to decline
substantially within Ave days after
the issuance OF this October govern
ment report, no matter what It's
. showing. Theodore H. Price.

about us on its face. a bearish argu-
ment. Tomorrow will be first notice
day on October contract. and quite a
number Of longs were liquidating on
the advance. News from the South
also was considered bearish, offerings
being rather free. The congestion at
railroad centers initiates against de-
mand as buyers want to know when
their cotton will reach the seaboard,
since most of the contracts call for the
shipments. In the present case they
want to be sure that their purchases
will reach the ports i'm time to clear
during October. This combination of
circumstances was more than the mar
ket could Withstand, and we have seen
a considerable decline, after the first
exhibition of strength. Prices shortly
after the opening were 10 points higher
than last night, but there has been
since a decline of nearly % points. The
market closes not far from the bot
tom and about 12615 lower than yes
terday. 1t is possible that a desire
to dislodge the Suly long interest is
largely responsible for the persistent
attacks made on the markets. 1t is
unfortunate for the farmers who have
cotton for sale to have the task of
disposing of it made more difficult for
him by his self-supporting friends. Tel
egrams this afternoon from Fall River
say that the market was flooded with
first offerings from Georgia and Ala
bama. 1t would not be surprising to
see mill owners take advantage of such
an opportunity to get cheap cotton,
and free purchases would in all likeli-
hood be followed by the reopening of
the mills. Liverpool is due to come
76S points lower in the morning.

DANIEL SOLD HIS HOME

Fort MCPHERSON Man Got Rid OF
the House That Sheltered His
Family Before He Left With His
Wife's Sister-wife Did Not Know
of This Additional Loss Until the

session.
Atlanta, Sept. 29.-It has been dis
covered that A. S. Daniel of Fort Nc
Pherson, who eloped with his pretty
17-year-old sister-in-law, Miss Lizzie
Eaton of Huntsville, Ala, several days
ago, deserving his wife and child, sold
the house and furniture over his fam
ilys head for the purpose of securing
money for his flight. Mrs. Daniel did
not know of the loss of her home, as
we'll as of her husband, until to-day,
when the person who bought the house
and furniture called to take possession.
The missing couple are supposed to
have gone to St. Louis, but SO far no
definite trace of them has been found.
Wimpey Had Diamonds.
Sol Wimpey, a negro, was arrested
to-day on suspicion. On his way to
the station house the officer caught
him throwing something into the gut
ter. This proved to be a $3.50 diamond
ring and 500 breastpin. Investigation
showed the negro had burglarized the
house of b. Weinberger during the
night and had secured these and other
valuable jewels together with quite
sum of money.
Brute's Horrible Work.
Lying in a briar patch beside the
railroad track, gagged and with her
arms and limbs securely dashed with
straps, which all but cut through the
tender skin, Clara Tippen, a 9year-old
negro girl, was accidentally discovered
to-day. She said she was overtahen
by a negro man, beaten into sublnis
sion, outraged and tied to the track.
After leaving his victim for a few min
utes, the negro returned for some UNI
known reason and cutting the straps
which held the child to the rails, he
hurled her body in the nearby thicket.
The police are at work on the case.
Governor Was Rung Up.
Gov. Terrell talked from St. Louis to
his office in the Capitol this morning.
A telegram came from Charles Rig
farewell meeting would be given to

COTTON.

New York, Sept. 81 have received
many inquiries as to what will be the
indicated crop provided the condition
shown by the government report to be
published on Monday next is this,
that, or the other figure. 1 take this
means of replying to such inquiries.
The indicated crop depends upon
which year is taken as a basis of
comparison. The following table
shows the indicated crop on the basis
of the October condition for the last
ten years, allowing for the increase in
acreage this year and assuming con-
ditions after the date of the report to
be the same this year as in each year
previously with which comparison is
made:

WARE & LELAND
Say Crop Reports Are Not Mt An
Brilliant.

New York, Sept. 29.-There was more
pressure in the market to-day, both
from actual cotton and from specula-
tive short sellers. 1t must not be
forgotten that some of the more i'm
portant interests that looks for higher
prices later on are inclined to let
prices remain low enough to encourage
spot buying at this season. In fact.
this is the most solid foundation for
a bull market later on. Efforts will
be in the direction of keeping prices
down rather than i'm putting them up
for a while, but this does not prevent
the buyers on declines from making the
money. II the situation is sound and
prices are on a working basis. 1t would
be extremely unwise for traders to be
short. Some of the conservative mill
| owners in the country have said they
believe world could readily use. II. $50.
| 900 bales, at 9iac. That is, buyers
are facing a possible decline for a half
cent, or even a cent. but a seller
hardly knows what may be on the
other side of the market. II may be
a moderate crop and then lac or even
l5c would not be out of the question
So II seems to us as though conserva-
tive buying on all declines now would
be the best policy. There will be q
big demand for cotton on a basis OF

places VIII be given on the work done
during the spring term sophomore and

Senior places on spring term Junior

made in order that those who were
