olbert & clay's Market Letter.

It looked as if yesterdays closing figures would be about the low points, but our markets today showed the fallacy of that reasoning. Liverpool sent over dlsquiet- ing cables and that market opened points lower than expected, subsequently losing points additional.
 Heavy liquidation by tired longs, couplef' with feeling of uncertainty as to the action of the farmers on this decline, caused decline of nearly 30 points. Re actions were small and feeble. The cont- nent and Egypt were reported as heavy sellers in the Liverpool market Many big bulls hedged their accounts. preferring to wait until the skies cleared before renew ing their commitments.
 The country very generally reported that farmers were holding cotton and de- clining offers on the present basis of fu- lures. Indications are that spots In New Orleans will probably be marked down M The insight movement for the week shows S4 GOO bales less than for same period last year. Storms over the Ba- hamas said to be heading this way,
 Stocks showed weakness during first half of the session, caused principally by high money rates. Later on there was reduction In the price of call money from 7h to 3M per cent and In consequence values increased and the market had much better tone. Our belief is unchanged that stocks should be accumulated on all weak spots for a substantial rise.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-10-07
Loveman & Co.'s Market Letter.

Pronounced weakness developed in the market as a result of Liverpool cabling unfounded reports of the south offering freely, and on an unconfirmed estimate by MT. Nell forecastlng large crop. II was a case of strike the iron while 1t is hot and to that end a reported sus- pended official of the Southern Cotton Growers association took 1t upon himself to advise farmers ot sell as he expected decline.
 Sentiment in all markets appeared to be bearish. an avalanche of selling orders forcing values about hc lower than yes terday's closing, December easing off 10 9.83, compared with 1012, finally closing at 9.83M9.S4. The weakness appeared to be concentrated at the speculative rings of the two American markets, New Or leans and New York operators making the best of the situation by taking advantage of the influence to come of the advice of brother farmer to the other to sur render to the spinner. Thus far the pro- fessional element has been fighting the cause of the consumer, and the planter is left to do battle unassisted. Farmers, however. are well organized, and are In the fight to a finish. even though they have to combat with the world.
