NEW YORK COTTON.

New York. Oct. 21.-Today's cotton mar ket was more active and at times showed considerable strength with the close steady at . net decline of one point on October while later positions were one to seven points higher. Sales for the day were es- timated at 5000 bales.
 The market opened at a decline of three points to an advance of one point gaining in steadiness as the call progressed and before the end of the first hour sold six to seven points net higher on aggressive bull support and covering. The advance was in the face of rather disappointing ca bles, the continued heavy movement and good weather In all parts of the belt ex- cept for excessive rains at some points in oklahoma. The upward movement was checked around the high prices of last Sat- urday by increased realizing sales and ope- xations for a reaction. After selling off five or six points. however, the market firmed up again during the middle of the afternoon on renewed covering and buying of March by houses with Liverpool connec- 4ions, closing little off from the top, as a reshult of final realizing. Wall Street bulls were quite aggressive at times.
 Receipts at the ports today 5s.975 bales. against 65.565 last week and 47,57s last year. For the week (estimated) 400. 600 bales, against 371 900 last week and S24, ,620 last year. - TodAys receipts at New Orleans 12.465 bales, against 11.s75 last year. and at Hous- ton 192sl bales. against S.161 last year.

At the close prices showed net gains of I-2 to 7-sc. Oats and pro- regular. The wheat market opened firm with prices a shade to l-4 to 3-sc. higher than the previous close. The market was builishly affected by mod crate advances in the price of wheat at the principal European grain cen- ters and by Argentine advices which claimed damage to the new crop by the recent frosts. 4 number of the leading commission houses pounded the market the first few minutes of trade and this ycsulted in quick decline Of nearly half cent, The market sud- denly became bare of offerings and previously declined. Throughout the remainder of the session a firm tone prevailed nd the market closed strong at almost the top notch. Rains were reported in some sections of tho win. ter wheat belt, but the wet weather was still not so general as had been forecastec- News fronI the northwest was of a bullish character. Flour sales In the northwest were also said to have been large for yesterday and today. Duluth house claimed that ninety-two boat loads had been work cd yesterday and today, the bulk of DCluk AllfnCdpDllSt l'uAulh and Chicago reported receipts of es4 cars.
 Corn was weak during the first part of the day owing to considerable re- alizing by local longs. but regained large part of the loss later in the day a result of the strength in wheat. There was a noticeable improvement In export demand for new corn both at the gulf and in, the east Cash busi- ness here was light and 4nricea at the sample tables were steady to 1 cent lower: Shorts we,e felrly. active bid ders for corn late in the day and this caused the December delivery Co close firm. May was steady and July weak
 Trade in oats was dull but the mar ket displayed considerable strength, owing to buying by shorts based main ly on the advance in wheat. Cash oats were steady to 1-2c. lower. The mar. ket closed strong with prices up 3-S to 1-2 to 5-Sc.. Local receipts 13i cars.
 Provisions were active and strong because of brisk support by local pack CTS. An improved oemand for cash lard helped to strengthen the market. At the close prices were up 1-2 to 4-S.

COTTON IS VERYDULL MARKET PLUNGED INTO STATE OF NN0CU0US DEsUETUDE. Farmers Are Holding For Better Price, While Mills Wait Until the Pres
 dentiaI Election is
 Settled.

Unprecedented Is the dullness which marks the cotton business throughout the country. Spot receipts and safes. and ex- change manipulations are ali plunged into the state of innocuous desuetude. But probably 1t is only the calm before the storm, for there Is promise of an activity at the first definite indication5 of the the then the great English strike. involving hundreds of mills gives rise to a cessation of activity, and the settlement of the labor trouble on the tight little island will also aid in a rejuvenation.
 But at present the dullnes is fearful. To- sally. receipts are practically nothing. with less demand. Few want to buy, as few want Co sell: and things are at a deadlock Mean while. the owners of cotton holding holding, hol6ing-against the day when the new chief executive of the United States will be assured, when the strikes are set- 4ied, and when the mill whistles emit their blasts for resumption. Then. it is fondly hoped, the farmer will come Into his own.
 A slight activity in the New York mar keta occasioned by a definite prognostica- ton of Tafts election gave slight boost to the cotton market generally; and as a result. spot cotton is up 1-16c in Montgom- cry today. middling being quoted at
 There are some planters about the city. who declare that the bulk of the crop has been picked, and that there will be little to come. This is the general statement from farmers about the southern part of the county. In other portions, along bot tom lands and nearer the river. there is different story. It is the sandy land farm e who possesses tn ehard luck story.
 There Is one advantage to the dullness and the determined stand of the farmer as to refrain from selling. It keeps up the price, even at 11-1Gc. For it is declared that the natural tendency of cotton at pres snt is to decrease in price. No one wants to buy. they don't need it. When they are forced to buy just the slightest amount to keep the lazy spindles from absolute ces- sation, they offer something ridiculous. It fs not taken. the farmer holds for something better. Finally a mean is struck, and s cents is taken So much for present holding. --AXet much more is to be derived from a continnea holding Is the cry of many. They state that the mill men will be forced to buy not a pfffIing amount, but in large Guantities. And then the farmer will Ket all that is his.
