DEMAND IS MADE FOR COTTON Weather Was Less Favorable in
 the Southwest UNDERTONE WAS FIRM Falling temperatures Were Basis for Wave of Bull Support By Some
 of the Professional
 Contingent.

New York, November 1.-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of 2q3 points in response to slightly higher Liverpool cables than expected, reports of less favorable weather from the south west. and smaller interior receipts.
 There was very little demand, however, and while the market following the call showed a generally steady to firm under tone, further gains were secured very slowly, until shortly after midday, when reports that it was showing In the south west, with temperatures falling was made the basis for wave of bull support by some of the professional contingent here and in New Orleans. This buying caught both markets short, apparently, and for a time there was a furry of eov- ering during which the market ruled ner- vous and active. January sold up to 10 m and March to 10.12; but at this level of ferings increased, and In the later trading the market eased off about or 5 points from the best.
 The close was steady at a net gain of 6@ points. Sales were estimated at 1s0.OOO bales.
 The into-sight figures for the week re- fecting the smaller interior movement as well as falling off in the port receipts helped the advance in prices during the afternoon.

OOtuI0n v w. WdIkCl EClhCTs
 There is no question that the cotton market this week has been very disap- pointing one.
 This does not mean that prices have declined instead of advancing for the lev el is slightly higher than week ago.
 But there was a general expectation that speculation would result from the election and the general improvement in business that is likely to follow. On this view shorts covered during the latter part of last week and not a few bought cotton in anticipation of rise. On We'd nesday the market opened firm and high CT but the improvement was short lived and the holders were compelled to realize on declining marnet.
 After prices had lost about fifteen or sixteen points the tone steadied again and the market passed into the stale state of dullness excepting before the recent advance.
 That general speculation has not been induced as a result of the large and prof itabe business reports from Manchester and the steady improvement that is now taking place in the county has been a source of disappointment as well as com ment.
 The only possible explanation is that the stock market furnishes more att tractive field for the time being and the cotton market will be compelled to await a revival of interest which may come at any time.
 Many think the crop altogether too large to make bull speculation profita- ble but if the cotton market could go from 17c last year back to 10c on a crop of ten million, it may be that we are to see an advance in prices this year on a crop of twelve million bales. There seems to be no question that the crop is a good one. Well informed people coming from the south say that the crop is at least 11.50O.OOO and every indication points to an abundant produc- ton For this reason we look for no repitition of last years bull specnla- tion

Lovemsn's Cotton Letter.

By II. & B. Beer.
 The first genuine cold wave invaded the western section of the cotton belt last night and on it's way south distrib- uted snow in the Panhandle of Texas, sleet somewhat further south and killing frost in many sections of Texas and Mis- sissippi, and by tonight will have be- come more severe and will spread itself over the entire cotton belt, frost having been predicted as far south as the gulf coast. The cold wave having put in its appearance at so late date and the crop having been so early and about all picked, little damage can be expected to result from the freeze. It may have i tendency to curtail the movement to mar ket, however, and it's coming at time when arrivals last year were the largest of last season may have some influence m values. and the developing of one fea- ture might bring on another. The insight for the week was less than generally ex- pected. 519.766 vs. 599s s43 bales; since Sep tember 1 4,635,355 vs. 3,5SSO55, and as es- inmates for tomorrows arrivals at New orleans and Galveston were compara- lively small combined, 25,D0 to 27500 vs. 4162 a year ago, indications were for 4 continuance of light receipts next week when compared with last year S insight of 5s2,O0O. Longs became more con fident of their position. pointing to inland receipts at thirty towns to have been about 62,OOO less than last year during the week. and dwell upon the subject of traders paying more attention to unre- liable crop estimates rather than accept facts indicating an enormous consump- ton. which there is no assurance of sat
 sfying unless the crop be the largest ever raised. In anticipation of better market next week there was some little covering of short contracts and fresh buying for investors.
