clhert a Claws Market Letter.

Recent sellers in Liverpool were buy CTS today, preventing that market from fully responding to the decline of yes- terday in the American exchanges. Ca- bles voiced bearish opinions, on the ground that danger to the crop was delay ed until frost. Options closed sixteen points lower and spots un sales of IoO0 bales declined Il points. The more bear ish sentiment existing was reflected in our lower opening, whereas considering the foreign market and absence of Texas rains an advance of a few points would have been in order. The decline, how ever, was extended only a few points when exporters showed disposition to buy contracts and a full recovery ensued. Trading throughout the greater part of the day was-Very light. Operators gen. orally appeared to be waiting some action by the Southern Cotton Growers asso- eiation While the movement of cotton to market Is free, from extremes of the belt we hear of manifestations of inde- pendence on the part of producers, and a distinct disinclination to meet the de- cline. Local dealers received fewer of ferings from the interior and such trades as were made on the spot were at un- shaded quotations. This seems to be about the only method of preventing low CT prices as the indications at present are for an ample supply for the next year. It is rumored that the convention at Asheville has declared the crop to be not over 100000 bales and has fixed the minimum at lie.
 Stocks were distinctly weak and lower although there were evidences of support from time to time during the session. The wheat market showed improvement and an advance of a half cent is noted.

Loveman a Co.'s Market Letter.

American markets Tailed 10 appreciate the steadiness of the Liverpool market today, and instead of doing much bet ter, opened few points lower December here at 10.40 against 10.A yesterday, aft erwards selling off 4 points additional to 10. 3e for December, but finally closing at TO- 46910.47.
 Mir. Ellison's figures on invisible stocks in Europe, SS0,000 versus 410,000 last year. 470,0O0 larger. and Mir. Hester's excess of s2,o00 as the invisible supply held by American mills. 234.000, compared with 132, 900 at the end of last August one year ago ,or a total excess of 552,0Oo bales in the invisible supply when compared with 1904 was made the basis for the further attack upon the market today. In this connection 1t is only fair to sa5s that MT. Ellison's figures are quite liberal for mill stocks, whereas his estimate for last seasons consumption was much too low about il, 1000, against 11,sS3.000. The vis- ible and invisible supply Is placed at 2,757.000 bales. Traders, however, do not seem to realize that spinners takings the past season were 12.397000 bales. and that if the world was to take like amount this year, providing 1t was ob- tainab1e, that it would require a crop this year of F. 900 bales to supply the demand if the visible and invisible sup ply at the end of next August is to be no larger than what is supposed to be carried over this year.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, September 6.-Cotton, spot steady and in good demand; offer ings somewhat more liberal. Sales 140O bales including 800 to arrive. Delivered on contracts 200. Quotations unchanged. Futures opened 4 to points down on the active positions. Liquidation later car ried prices up about 10 points. Trading was light and the fluctuations narrow. Almost every one was waiting for news from the Southern Cotton association convention today, in session at Asheville. While the bears few months ago tried to make 1t appear that this association would never cut very extensive figure in the market. yet they are careful not to discount any of its actions at present.
 Crop news is being published here to the effect that most of the crop will be picked this month in Texas, Alabama and Georgia, the earliest on record The mar let closed very quiet with prices to points higher than last evenings finals.

smoIlen & Co.'s Market Letter.

The stock market today ruled very weak and prices # to 3 points lower. Union Pacific, St. Paul, Pennsylvania and New York Central were the weak fea- lures of the railway list. Shelters. Met ropolitan and Brooklyn were sold down about 2 per cent each. Tennessee Coal and Iron lost per cent, and Big Steel lost 11s There seemed to be no support whatever to the high priced stocks. Sem timent continues rather bearish and we continue to belieev in the short side of Union Pacific and St. Paul. Locomotive and Erie should be bought on any fur ther decline.

Ware 6 LeIand's Market Letter.

Liverpool this morning was points better than expected, put weakened later on, on straddle selling. Spot business i%reasing at rather steady prices only Il points lower than yesterday.
 Cables have nothing of interest, simply saying that shorts are covering straddlers selling.
 We ought to have opened lower but there were too many selling orders, principal ly from the country and this selling was In evidence on every firm period in the market. Buying of October by expert houses absorbed the early offerings, scalp CTS followed and held prices for a while around last nights closing level. There is, however, no snap to the market Spec ulation timid and feeling changing to the bear side Leading southern papers giv- ing bearish views of the market situation and telegrams received on the floor saying We are fooled about the outlook" show the change in temper. There will proA ably be no revival until either rains check the movement and cause loss to crop or we get nearer the frost period. Today's weather map Is fair and no rain Is pre- dicted except for the extreme northern states.

Passenger Trains to be Put On.
A telegram was received Thursday
from Supt. Ii. b. Helm, saying the
S. & r. X. V. Ry, Co. desired to run a
passenger train on August 18th from
shreveport to Colfax, and inquiring
what our health authorities had to
say about it. After consulting with
Mr.. John Randolph, president OF the
police jury, and DIR. Webster Smith,
member of the parish board OF health.
at Fairmount, DR.. Roberts wired on
behalf of the Colfax board, mayor OF
the town, and the parish authorities
for the train to come ahead. SO as
we go TO press Friday evening the
foot of the passenger locomotive is
expected every moment. Mr.. Helm
was also informed that he could run
