Cothran's Market Letter.

The demand is good, business conditions are all that could be asked, and If supply or moving of new cotton continues, lower prices must rule.
 The into-sight for the week is now esti- mated at 625,000 bales, vs. 4S3,000 bales last year, and 5T5,000 bales in 1904. (Hes- ter)
 The estimates for tomorrow at princi- pal points, Houston, Galveston and New Orleans total 55,000 bales, vs. 37.0OO last year.
 Interior receipts today, 35,000 vs. 29,000 last year, and 36,000 in 1904. Weather con dtions continue favorable fair and cool. which is all that could be needed to keep up the movement.
 The next ginners' report is now sched- uled to be made public on next Thursday. the Sth, at D. m.
 It is thought that the figures will be very bearish and point to very large out turn of the gins as compared with last year. From our observation and from the advices we get through ouh correspond ents we feel favorable to the short side of this market and look for decidedly lower prices. There is no evidence to us of any large unprotected interest on eltn- CT side
 Profits are quickly taken and losses limited so that we rather expect an ac- tive market with fluctuation and a gradu- ally saggng tendency. Favor selling on hard sDots

New York, November 1.-The cotton market was less active during today s session and ruled irregular with the close steady af nef iodine of 4e a nolnts. Sales for tho day wero estimated at 175,OU0 bales
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of l to 5 points and worked up to net gain of about to points with January selling at 10. g. and March at 10.41, or 16 points above the low level of yesterday on covering of shorts and buying for d turn on the better cables than expected, bulish private cables from Liverpool, the cold weather in the south and the smaller estimate for the days re- eeipts. There was no snap to the buying. however and pressure increased on the advance. Selling vas not so aggressive as that noted earlier in the week, but the market gradually worked off to the low. record of the precious day and in the late trading rallied only or points as a result of covering with the close only couple of points up from the bot tom. Previous cablAs from Liverpool re- ported buying by one of the leading American operators offset Egyptian sell ing, and stated thai trade demand was a little more active.
 Receipts at the pdts today 51 659 bales, against 6l,236 last week and 52,440 last year. For the weak (estimated) 465,0oO bales, against 46I,4D last week and 350,- 260 last year. Tod3y's receipts at New Orleans, 7OA bales, against 9643 last year and at Houston, 16,45 bales, against 13,051 last year
