SHARP REACTION | COTTON MARKET Bull .eader Again Enters the
 List SHOOTS UP OVER 25 POINTS Absene of Bull Speculation During Early Morning Caused Gen eraI List to Sell Off
 Gradually.
SHOOTS UP OVER 25 POINTS

New fork, October 1.-The cotton mar ket aftr a weak morning had very sharp raetion in the afternoon, but lost part of the recovery before the close The clee was easy at decline of to 10 poins, which was rather better than expected, in view of lower Liverpool ca bles, excellent weather in the south, and the propect for large receipts.
 At first there was considerable buying and qute a lot of covering, but after hanging around the opening prices for a little while, the absence of bull specula- ton and the unsettling influence of the big crCp estimates growing out of yes- terday'I bureau report began to affect prices and before midday December had hold of to 9.75, and the general list to net decline of 13q17 points. Shortly after the publication of the weekly crop bull letin, which was hardly thought to read like crop of the size suggested by the there was sharp rally.
 The story on the floor was that leading New Orleans operator who had been in this city for some months now studying the situation had been short before the bulge of yesterday had GOV cred and was swinging to the long side in the expressed bullish sentiment on cotton, at or below 10 cents, This buying seemed to take room shorts by surprise and there was active covering that in- side of half an hour had forced rally 1f Nt.,te fl,r
 Following this leading, bears felt the market by offering quite large blocks, and managed to get the list down to about little under last nights finals. In the late trading the undertone of the market was pretty steady, and 1t looked as though Wall street, last winters bull leader, the south and Philadelphia were buying moderately, while sales came chiefly from scattering longs and some professional bears, which considered the rally in the llgnt of a temporary reac- tion. The market closed steady at q net gain of 2a5 points,
 Sales were estimated at 500,0O0 bales. Receipts at the ports today 9O239 bales, against 9S922 last week and 632S2 last year. For the week 45O000 bales, against 43S3l7 last week and SO5,4 ,416 last year.

GREAT STRIDES ARE TAKEN BY ST.P PAUL'S Stock Seemed to Reach No
 Limit in Flight
 PACIFlCS RESPONSIBLE &a
Special Attention Again Reverts tc Northern Securities Settlement. Profit Taking in United
 States Steel Preferred.

New York, October 4-Speculatiye at tention. reverted again to the Northern Securities settlement question and Unit ed States Steel preferred was given over to a profit taking movement. The rather emphatic official denials that the cor poration was buying its preferred stocks for conversion into bonds was about the nominal cause of the buoyant rise in that stock yesterday and made 1t natural that some selling should result today
 It was not a surprise to see the force of the days rumor- mongering shifted to the Northern Securities question as these two subjects have shown unexhaused ca pacity for stimulating furious price move- ments. The movement centered in St Paul today. That stock seemed to reach no limit to it's flight Its action was the direct outcome of the strength of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific pn the exchange and of the northern se- curities on the curb. The new phase of today's rumors regarding the settlement of the dispute over the distribution of the northern securities asset was 1t in- volve6 the lodgment of the control of the Northern Pacific which Is the vital point in the contest in St. Paul, but not the faintest admission from any official source of the truth of the report could be secured.
 It was pointed out that the contest to decide the question will if necessary be published to (. conclusion in order to meet the fiduciary- obligations of the Oregon short line directors to the holders of q l,oi. Iof.z Frt. ordinary action of St. Paul in the mar ket prevented entire discredance to the report. Room trading incident to the movement was on an enormous scale and involved quick returns in tens of thous ands of shares.
 The movement elsewhere was more moderate and was accompanied by steady profit taking not only in United States steel preferred but In others which were prominent in yesterdays rise, notably Erie and Norfolk and Western.
 For a while during the final sur the profit taking became general and rather precipitate on the days advance. The advance started in the southwestern cot ton carriers yesterday by the govern ments cotton estimate was continued to- day with Missouri Pacific leader, Penn sylvania moved out of It's instability of yesterday and shares in the advance, al- though It's August statement was not considered highly satisfactory owing to the large decrease in gross earnings which had to be overcome by the re- trenchment in operating expenses. On the other hand good August statements did not help Southern Railway, Norfolk and Western or Chicago and Alton.
 sThe weather bureaus weekly bulletin pm cotton somewhat modified the effect of yesterdays government estimate, and the forecast of freezing weather and snow in the northwest was a factor in the days market The money market continued tranquil, but both the govern

Lelshman 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.


 The cotton market today was very ner vous and irregular. The opening was at lower range of prices, due to the disap- pointing foreign cables Liverpool was 10 points lower at the opening and closed about Ii points lower. January contracts opened at a slight decline at 9.s9. sold at s.sO, declined to 9.s0, after which 1t rallied to l006 and closed steady at 9.9S.
 The port movement continues very heavy, being estimated today at 92,000 against 46000 bales for the same date last year. Spots were unchanged at 10.30.
 The weather conditions throughout the south continue very favorable for picking and marketing of the crop, and we expect the movement to continue heavy for some time to come, but expect the movement to fall off very sharply during Novem- Der and December.
 There was a great. deal or new buying of cotton around the low prices both yes terday and today and we can see but one side to the market under existing circumstances, and that Is the long side.
 It will be noticed that foreign spinners are buying more liberally at the prevail ing low prices.
 We think 1t Is but a matter of short time until Liverpool will be taking much more cotton, thus causing higher range of values on this side.
 We still continue to advise our friends to buy cotton on all weak spots and hold for a good advance. a

cothran e Co.'s Cotton Letter.

Liverpool cables were nearly all of one tenor and held out little encourage ment for a lasting improvement, while reaction was considered as probable. owing to the rapidity of the decline, barring an early killing frost.
 Prices are expected to permanently de- cline under five pence. Sales of 5000 bales spots lowered quotations 8 points and options lost 14 points.
 The fresh selling at our opening was sufficient in volume to cause moderately lower prices, the support necessary tc check further declines coming from shorts accepting profits.
 Later in the session on more deter mined short covering. prices were mate rially advanced over the low figure of the morning. Most of the arguments at the present time are in favor of the bear side and those who believe that present prices fully discount the situation are not aggressive, but are pursuing the policy of extending their interests by moderate buying on each recession of note.
 Recent weekly bureau reports have cited inferior conditions and it was not generally expected that today's report would be any different, hence the re- ceipt of poor report had no important effect on prices
 Prospects for top crop in Texas have been injure,. by insect damage and the scarcity of labor Is being more appre- ciated
 Some improvement In the spot demand is noticeable and there are indications that American spinners are becoming more interested Trade conditions are also evidencing a more satisfactory ten- dency. although values will probably sus- tain further losses under the weight of a very large October movement.
 Conjectures as to the greatness of the crop are not sufficiently defined to war rant planters in throwing over their pro- duct without consideration of the many possible contingencies and the worlds re- ouirements.
