 New Orleans. Oct S.-ADurins the week there was publisehd the last of series of monthly crop reports of the United states Department of Agriculture, and although the general average for the belt was placed at the low figure of s7 . vs, Ills last year. 7i 2 year before last. and IS. 8 in 1904. the market ruled easier until the close of the week when a change for the worse in wealth CT conditions was reflected in steadier trading showing no appreciabie change com pared with last Saturday. The amount of cotton Rinned to Sept. 25th was about in keeping with expectations, f,56s.s7T; vs. 2,057.2s3 ginned to the corresponding date of one year ago, and 2.355.71e to an average date year before last.
 The smallness of receipts total marketed, to date fo4s,ooo vs 1.aso.oo0 last year and by spinners. thus far this season 7Sa.o00 of American against TSP. .e00 last year and Ss2,- COG year before last has already served to reduce the txcess in the worlds visible sup ply of American. which wr- 42s.000 on Sep tenber list. to 216.000 today, and as 1t is probable that the movement for the month of october will fall short of last De- tober's arrivals by about 100000. 1t is safe to figure on the whole of the deficit being wiped out By the end sf the current month even thoushespinners' takjngs in the mean time be less than during the same time last year by 100000
 
 instead of worlds available being much larger than last year. 1t will not be long be- fore 1t will have been transformed into supply that will be less than was held one year ago. By November 1. there will proba- bly, have ,been marketed 500. 900 mete than in 1906. which of course. will have been the cause of this trr nsformation. The question to De considered thereafter will be the amount of cotton remaining to be mar keted. and In this connection indications point to the movemet to market thereafter being 5o0.000 to 100000 less than last sea- son on account the assumption is short of last year to the extent Of 100000 to 1.5o0.- poo. These are the sub-surface features of Inc market which will present themselves in the not far distant future.
 It is such conditions that the future mar kets usually discount in advance of their maturity. by which developments the farm CT usually benefits by q rising market. This year. however. notwithstanding the general holding movement of the planters. very lit- tie headway is being made in this direction on account of speculation having been re- stricted in tAe South.
