H. . 5. BEER COTTON LETTER.
By Private wirpto c. G. Abercronbie {
 Co. AfM cannnerra St.

New orleans. Oct. eb.-The third of a series of census reports on quantity of ing 4.oss.sss ginned to October 18th. exclus- i've of returns from 60 cour ties that have yet to be heard from on account of the teles- raphers strike. The unreported 6e counties turned out s2o.12s bales last year during the period fromseptember 25th to October 18th. and on this basis the approximate quantity of cotton glnned during the same period by all eeunties is placed at 2,SSe,-- e0e vs. 2.s75.oo0 last year. making the total ginned this seas season to october Sa 18th. figure and 4.ee1. 600 year before last, The amount of cotton reported glnned was about In keep ing with expectations. perhaps the figures were . little larger than looked for since there was about as much ginned during the last period as was gtnned during the same period last year notwithstanding claims Of crop being late, and, in some. sections. very short. However the returns were not con sidered as being bearish by any means, Der cause Of unfavorahls . weather in the ,s ~ay . ot years ginning during past period of last year, the hurricane of September 2sth, hav- @ tSs s Mississippi sT R River ''S for s period of about ten days, which. as we all well know, lowered the crop in grade considerably. to svy eotson socauae of unsestlsd eon Ne News ffom wall Street was far from ssns a tions in Brooklyn and in New Engiands par ticulariy at Pfovidence. which Is great cotton misunderstanding center.
 The whole North appears to be affected more or less by the shrinkage in values Of every description which Is figured in the billions, all that. section of the country north of the Ohio from the Atlantic to the Pacific suffering for the want of confidence.
 Happily such conditionp do not prevail in the South especially In the cotton states. as 1t Is realized that cotton is by far a bet. ter asset than is paper, such as stocks and bonds, during crisis as now exists, the staple being worth it's value in gold the world over. As is the case in Wall street cotton ia not being sacrificed in the South as are stocks and bonds in New York.
 The weakness displayed In the face of such small movement to market this week 454,o00 vs. 5e0.000 last year.. can only be accounted for by the absence of speculative support Spinnars. however, may take ad- vantage of the sttuatien by buying more freely.
 Yours very truly,

New Orleans. oct. 25,-spot cotton wal steady with prices %c lower on all grades Middling 10%c. Sales were 5000 bales or the spot with 1900 to arrive.
 Futures opened steady four to six points above the close of yesterday. on favorable adviees from Liverpool but the census bu- reau report on the amount of cotton ginned which was put up shortly after the opening brought about decline of soma 20q21 points.
 The heavy selling which followed the posting of the report in New York and the effect of this was soon felt in the New Orleans market In the late session the market held at about noon levels. Coverins by shorts just before the close brought about a reaction and sent values up nearer the levels at which they stood at the close of yesterday. The close was firm with low the close of yesterday.

COTTON GOES DOWN
MARKET CONTINUES IT'S DECLKNTr
 COURSE.
GinneES Report Causes Advance ct the Open ing but Adverse Feature Being Announced. Market Goes
 eff Rapidly

It's the same old atory---the cotton mar ket continues dOwnwards.
 The einners report. made up to the 18th of the month, was Issued yesterday morning at the hour of the opening of the New York future market The figures give 4,0s9, 000 bales ginned. as against 4.932, 00G for last year to the same date.
 On the Issuance of this report the future market advanced IS points over Tuesday s close. But immediately after it was an- nounced that sixty-niHe counties had not reported the market went of rapidly, not stopping until there had been a decline of s7 points from the opening figures.
 Street buyers attempted to follow the future market as closely as possible, start- ing at aI-lSe and dropping fo Be.
 ff anyone will compare last years gin ming report with this years he will find ned up to this date than last year. If this same percentage continues to the end of the season. it will make the crop about 11.000,- 900 bales.
 However, it is well known fact that the present crop is about three weeks late, which fact. together with the failure of sixty-nine counties to report. might possibly account for something like 1.000000 bales.
 Based on these figures the crop ought to run over 12,0OO,O00 bales.
 The. local market closed with prices quot ed as:
 Middling .... 3.... s.s. ....4 ..l0k Q
 It will be seen from this mornings week ly statistics that Montgomery Is still run ning ahead of last year. which can only be accounted for by cotton being brought in from a distance.

Marine having some pink roses in her
dark tresses, while a delicate white
rose nestled softly in Doris golden
locks.
The dance was the first real late
affair they had ever attended, and it
did not break up until between and
3 o'clock in the morning. All of the
seasons debutantes were there and
lot of sweet, pretty girls they were
too. Many of them Doris had known
before she had gone away to school,
but even some of these had quite
outgrown her memory SO far as their
appearance was concerned.
Young Mr.. Armada devoted him
self to Doris during the evening and
Marshall was as attentive to Mar
uie as politeness, in view of his re-
sponsibility as semi-host of the oc-
casion, would allow. However, when
these special cavaliers were not at
their side, there were others quite
as eager to pay them homage.
But with all this fattering atten-
ton, neither of the girls forgot the
fact that she was a hostess with her
mother, and they were active in see
ing to it that no one was neglected.
A splendid supper was served at
midnight and after that the real
"cotillion" began. The dancing be-
fore this had been merely the two
step and the waltz and with the
cotillion there was an abundance OF
got among other favors a beautiful
Japanese parasol, and a dear, flower
bedecked tissue paper bonnet, in
which Marshall declared she looked
sweeter than he had ever seen her
look before, and which did become
her nightly.
1t was a splendid success, and
everybody went home declaring they
had never had so good a time.
Isn't Mr. Armada finer" said
Doris after the guests had left.
He seems very nice indeed" re-
piled Marine, as she thoughtfully
pulled off her second glove. But she
was in reality not thinking OF the
young Italian at all. Her thoughts
were of a tall, broadshouldered
young-man, who had looked at her
so admiringly when he told her how
sweet" she looked IN the tissue
paper bonnet.
How vain I am growing, SAID
Marine to herself. And then she
thought, well, anyhow, I shouldn I
have cared if anyone else had said
it; but 1 do like somehow TO have
