Exporters found that Europe would not meet the advance in actual cot ton. all offers at the advance being de- clined, which removed the props from under the market and permitted prices to work lower for want of support. Such action on tho part of European importers by de- ciining to entertain offers at the slight ad- vance occasioned much surprise, as informa- tion from the interior Is to the effect that farmers will not sell their cotton under ioc basis middlins and are not sending any cotton to market which is confirmed in a way by more moderate receipts of late at the ports and Houston. A recent large local opef ator, now on New York and sup posed to have been on the long side Of the market during the rise of the past three days, was credited with having sold exten- sively through brokers in the Northern mar ket this afternoon, and the leader of Wall Street was reported as heavy seller again. This action on the part of Europe and on the part of the large traders had a most depressing effect on values.

FOR FUTURES
OPENING ADVANCE IN RESPONSE TO
 BETTER CABLES.
After Working off. Rumors of the Over flow of the Pecos River Causes a Rally-Declines at the
 Close.

NEW YORK, Oct. s.--The cotton market opened steady st advance of 1910 points in response to higher English cables Demand also was encouraged by reports of rain in some sections of the belt where 1t was said to be likely to damage open cot ton. Immediately following the call prices worked off 8 little. but were soon rallied again and worked up to a net advance Of about s614 points on covering and bull sup port. with the South sending buying orders through wire houses. But the advance hav- Ing now extended to a matter of something over half cent in the last two days 1t was considered that the altered technical end of the market justified a decline and some of the larger room traders began to raid the market. After getting 1t back to about the closing figures of the previous night rumor that the Pecos river had overflowed and caused damage in Texas brought about another rally to about the high point. but in the later trading there was active liquidation and selling by New Orleans based on reports of weakness in the interior spot markets of the South caused by the accumulation of stocks and the market was finallySeasy at a net decline of 11@is points. Sales were estimated at 300, 900 bales.

 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.-Small offer ings with the continent and shorts buying were ascribed as the causes for Liver pools improved market Cables, however. expressed little faith in higher prices and towards the end of their session much of the early gains were lost. Options finally closed at points advance and spots on sales of 10000 bales gained 10 points. Man chester reported steady market for both cloths and yarns.
 Beyond the rains in portions of the belt, and a continuance of reports of holding of cotton by farmers. there was little informa- tion to account for the higher levels at our opening. and as these features did not sug- gest immediate serious consequences. prices sagged under rather free selling and profit taking by longs to about yesterdays clos ing figures. Spots were firmly held with only moderate demand. although offerings from the interior at the advance were more liberal in quantity. Port receipts were smaller than recently and exports very large. American spinners are again in different buyers and recent purchasers of spots are accredited with having been large sellers of contracts as hedges. being un- able-.to immediately place the cotton with spinners. From this time the market will be subject to the influeces of the frost date. An approaching cold wave of intensity would doubtless cause advances. but with a continuance of prevailing weather lower prices will most probably be observed.

 was only a trifle easier but as the session advanced all support apparently was with drawn and extreme weakness developed. The influences mainly responsible for the slight decline at the start were lower cables and a report by a Cincinnati trade journal alleging a material increase in the acre. age of winter wheat. December opened t Q Nc lower at 1. i.11M@i.i1A and May down 6 brief period the market exhibited signs of rallying, there being a fair demand for May from commission houses, which forced May up to 1.11k and December to 1.11h reaction soon occurred on scattered sell ing. During the remainder of the day the tendency was toward lower level. Ex- treme weakness of corn had a depressing influence on wheat and many stop loss or- ders came out on the decline. December reached l.0sk and My 1.09&. The de- mand improved considerably during the last few minutes. 6 report of good flour sales at Minneapolis furnishing the stimulus to buy.

NEW ORLEANs COTTON.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.-Spot cotton quiet but firm: sales 3.s50. including 750 bales to arrive. Quotations advanced i-1sc.
 Futures opened firm at an advance of 50 10 points. Wire houses bought heavily at the call and it looked if farmers were not only holding their cotton but were buy ing futures well. During the day prices seesawed over rather a wide range, being first put up by covering by shorts and then put down by realizing by longs. The weather map was not good expected and the report that the Pecos river in Texas was two miles wide and flooding cotton fields had some effect. The movement to ports fell off greatly, estimated receipts being 4s,0o0 bales. against 51.7s0 last year and 51.405 in 1902. This twas regarded as the direct result of the holding of cotton by farmers There was a feeling of unrest in evidence which was said to be due to a growing nervousness of shorts caused by the firmness of planters in regard to the cotton they hold. In the trading December opened points higher at 10. 09, advanced to 10. IS and finally declined to 9.83. The market closed weak with prices Is to 1s points lower than yesterdays finals.

VIRGIN q FAUNCE's COTTON LETTER. (By Private Wire from J. Walter Labaree

NEW YORK. Oct. 6.-The higher cables from Liverpool and the rise of 10 points in spot cotton there with a good dema nd for same and the fear of a cold wave in the cotton belt all contributed to the bull ish enthusiasm at the opening this morn ing. The trading was quiet and professional but Wall Street bought December and Jan uary and shorts were also good buyers of the winter months. There seems to be an important short interest in the field and the market is also receiving support from the sully- Brown factions. On the opening bulge profit taking by those who bought yesterday and freer offerings carried the list back somewhat. but the tone was steady and the pit sentiment was In favor of a further advance. The short interest in the market increased to very large propor- ton and a crop scare or a cold snap in the cotton belt would produce a stampede of shorts that Gould easily put the prices of futures above the II cent mark. The for eign demand for cotton continues good and there are indications that Manchester will become factors in the market in the flu ture. We are still bullish on the situation and purchases of cotton made at present prices will prove extremely profitable with in c very short time.
