Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick &, Co,

New York, Oct. 6.-After declining to
about the closing figures of yesterday
the market was steadied by rumors of
floods in some sections of Texas and
in the early afternoon looked pretty
firm, with prices about 507 points net
higher. Port receipts for the day look
like about $4,000 bales. and will be ex-
ceeded by the exports, which should
reach about 44,5OO bales. A dispatch
from Fort Worth, Tex, says the Pc
cos river has overlooked, covering
thousands of acres of cotton fields. We
are not looking for a straight upward
market by any means, and with some
apprehension we view the policy of
holding in the interior, as it may ulti-
mately affect the situation, but on any
break during the immediate future we
would buy. AS we said some days ago,
the effect of the October bureau has
readily eVaporated.

spinners are buying freely, but rather
TO the fact that buyers are not dis
posed to buy cotton unless an assur-
