LoyEMAN 6 CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

(By Private Wire from Miller & Col
 NEW YORK. Oct. s.--fhe decline which creased the intensity bureau day be- came nearer. When the crop conditions of Ing set In which carried December as low at SIS. or about $7 bale below the high point reached two weeks before. PessImism was rampant, predictions of cents within a day or so were heard on every side The movement in October was pictured as so overwhelming and the demand SO insignfi- cant that prices would melt away like snow In July. The revulsiou in sentiment which took place within 24 hours after the bureau was read was almost incredible. The mar ket gained 25 points in few minutes and fully 1sc higher. Since then. there has been some reaction of the healthy kind, but prices at the end of the week are steady and several points higher than last Friday. change in the market was the discovery that receipts at interior points had fallen spots about which so much noise was made turned out to be the unloading of holdings by little specuators and street buyers in the country towns and not offerings by farmers. All advices from Liverpool agree that the situation in Manchester Is very healthy and that e large business is doing Spinners are buying freely when they can get cotton. but 1t must be remembered that very little has far reached the other side. As soon as stocks abroad shall have been replenished a steady, liberal demand from spinners is predicted. It is gratifying to note that the dry goods market is stead fly improving and that there is a grow Ing belief that rise in dry goods wiii be the means of creating a working differ ence between raw cotton and the manufac- tured product and thus permit mills to run full time again on a profitable basis. The market now seems to be established on a sound foundation, namely. a steady demand for actual cotton, but whenever prices try to run away 1t is noticeable that sales by the producer check a too rapid advance. We look for steady markets with gradually advancing tendency until engagements for October shipments, which are very large. shall have been completely filled.

IF, THE FINANcIER's STATEMENT.

THE FINANCIER's STATEMENT.
 NEW YORK. Oct s.-The Financier this week says:
 The striking features of the official stase- ment Of the New Tor kassociated banks last week were further expansion of loans to new high record. a decrease in cash py one-hah million greater than the sum which was estimated on the traceabIe movements of money during the week and reduction in surplus reserve to within about &3.000,000 of the lowest point of the year. .The expansion in Ioahs snice August 27 has been sts.s32,0 900; the decrease In cash since. August 20 was s47.o4s. 800, and a,. %ss ss since that deposits in this interval has been S4,2s4, 500 The loans were increased last week by $2,- sob.Soc probably. the result of commission house and syndicate borrowing and also operations in finance bills The cash de- creased x9,l56.S00. or $1,533.400 more than the estimated sum. This discrepancy may be accounted for by large indirect transfers of excess internal revenue collections for interior Repositories of the last day of the bank week and also by the bringing over the difference between the estimated and the, actual loss of cash in the previous week. The deposits were decreased by $7,521, 100, a larger weekly contraction than has been shown during the year. The resulting de- crease in required reserve was ELISE. 900. deducting which sum from the loss of cash, left $721s.525 AS the reduction in surplus reserve to s12.e3e.soo. Computed on the basis of deposits less those of $23 2ls, 500 public funds. the surplus Is $1s.441,525; at the corresponding date last year the sur plus calculated general deposits was $16,677125. and in 1902 it was s1527s5O The statement failed to prove the sum of the loss of cash less the gain in loans call tng for reduction in deposits of $s- 2o1.5o0. or s1,31s.60o smaller than was shown by the return There was an in- crease of $1,215.0o ip circulation, chiefly by the large commercial banks. The daily average of clearings during the week was s2S5, ,o00,00 or $60. 100000 more than fin the previous week The clearings on Saturday refiecting Fridays business, were $292 see, :. l47. or much above the average Compar- ing changes in loans five banks increased this item by million net; four banks lost eight million net cash. and one institu- tion decreased this item by nearly nine mil lions.

II. . B. BEERS COTTON LETTER.

tby Prtvate Wire to Loveman ~ COL
 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. s.--After fiuctua- ting within a range of points. market as the close of week practically shows nc change when compared with the closing of to s.5s. reacted to 10. IS and closed today at 10c. against s.97 this day one week ago. Spot cotton declined during the same period to 11-1sc for mfddiing. but weekend close is same as last Saturday. 10c for middling.
 Market closed quiet and steady on sales of 1000 and 1,700 to arrive At the low level reached during the past week, spot buyers were quick to take advantage to buy at the decline. but the interior refused to sell. Even at present prices offerings from the country are practically nil. and holders refuse to entertain bids on present basis. much less make concessions The farmers seem to be determined to hold out for 10c cotton. Advices from all over the belt tell ing of planters storing their crops rather ceived from private as well as from some official sources. such as from railroads. through the press. etc. Port receipts con- tinue full, about sb.ooo today. against 4s. : arrivals at principal points are compara- lively large. and while next weeks in- sight will probably be larger than that of last year, 3el,st6. by about 100000 bales. 1t will probably show a falling off when com pared with the two previous weeks move- ments of this year. pointing to about 800. 900 against s2s.eoo last week. 552.ooo week be- fore.
 At primary points thero has been a de- cided shrinkage in the movement, the effect 1 which can not be felt for a week or so. What cotton that Is coming to market as present consists principally of consignments in course of transit, which leaves no dis tress cotton on market. We have heard talk of exporters having to enter the mar ket for immediate shipments, and If such reports are confirmed by the development of an increased demand for spot cotton next week. we will probably witness higher market irrespective of the movement as buyers will find market dearer with any buying of consequence. Therefore. aside from weather developments, the character of the spot demand. we are to have during the balance of the month will be the dom- mating factor and govern the course of the market accordingly.
 Weather conditions continue favorable tc gathering and marketing of crop, and fore. cast for tonight and Sunday Is generally for fair and warmer conditions, except in scattered sections of the Southwest, where showers and lower temperature are looked for.

VIRGIN q FAUNCE's COTTON LETTER. tBy Private Wire from T. Walter Labaree


 NEW YORK, Oct. s.--After considerable weakness which developed in the cotton market during the fore part of the week prices gradually strengthened and the lat- ter part of the week saw the list consider ably above the low points made during the early trading. The cause of the rise in the face of liberal crop estimates was first an increasing demand for spot cotton in the Liverpool market. second. unfavorabfe growing weather in the cotton belt ant fears of . crop scare. and third. the re- fusal of the Southern planter to market his product at the present prices The good export demand has had stimulating ef- feet upon the market and 1t is evident that the decline approximatins 1So points has done much to discount the large crop re- ports and other favorable news 50 that anything unfavorable or discriminntins to the maturing of the plant must be reflected in rise fin the price of cotton futures we do not favor the short side of the market after such a sharp decline as has been wit messed in the market during the past three weeks, and while small profit may be made from short sales the risk Is extremely hazardous and we do not favor them in the present condition of the market We consider cotton purchase at current fig ures and on all slight reactions for the pres. snt.

Improbable to the. men engaged
i'll that industry of any year in
the history of sheep raising in
Arizona.
He said the men who had taken
their sheep south this winter
would lose very heavily, as they
had been compelled in many
cases to kill all the lambs in order
to save the ewes, and even then
many of them had died. Those
III the north had been more for

be so great. He estimated that
the losses to those in the southern
