The Cotton Situation.
Special Dispatch to Evening Capital


New York, Oct. 2l.-In their review
of the cotton situation Miller g. Co.
say: lone of the effects of the recent
drop in temperature will be the re-
lease of a great deal of pent-up cotton
i'll the Mississippi Valley, where, quar-
antines have seriously interfered with
transportation. Quarantines cease
when frost sets in, and it is believed
that heavy movement of cotton will
begin toward New Orleans. Such
movement would take at least week
or ten days before showing in the Off =
cial record OF receipts and meanwhile
there may be quite a sharp falling off
in the total, since private repors are all
most unanimous ia stating that farm
ers have sold little or nothing since
October 8 and the holdings by mer-
chants and others have. by this time,
been shipped out. -
