 "A very fair demand was in evidence from exporters who were filling out ship ulents from the interior.
 Cotton futures opened steady with prices one point lower to five points higher. LiV- erpool cables were somewhat better than expected and this encouraged fresh buying bv bulls Shorts also bought freely to coV- er and this more than offset rather heavy saliIing orders which had been distributed around the ring before the opening Soon after the first call private cable messages were received stating that 1t was frumored in Liverpool that nine-tenths of the master spinners in Lancashire had voted to resume work in their mills.
 This was not confirmed but 1t put the market up until the active positions stood seven to nine points above the level Of yes terdaySs closing. The advance was well sustained and on the closing the market was toned steady with hte active positions showing a net advance for the day of six to eight points

NAVAL STORES REVIEW.

Savannah. Oct. 7-(SpeciaI) )-The past week in the local market for naval stores witnessed the break away of turpentine rom the s5hc level which had obtained for two losses which netted hc. the last on Tuesday morning the article seemed to pc ln very fair shape at the lower levels At the closing call Of Tuesday the mar ket was quoted firm at 35c. against 35Hc at which the market had been quoted as dirm as the beginning of the week (sept. Various rumors of the proposed removal Of at least two large buyers from Savan- nan 10 another port-The American and The London Savannah Naval Stores Compa- nfes while not credited here among the trade doubtless had adverse effect on the market. It is regarded as highly i'm probable, however, that the two concerns mentioned will forsake the local field and the coming week will probably show that the reports were based on the barest of rumors So far as can be learned the Directors of the American Naval Stores Company discussed the matter of removal informally some time since and the reports probably originated from this source.
 The receipts continue to fall off with the approach of colder weather. The volume of sales to the contrary are holding up well with all things considered and there were some substantial foreign shipments to be reported in the past week.
 Rosins were in very good demand but some rather substantial losses were record cd in the past week As will be seen quotations do not compare favorably as a rule with those of the preceding Tuesday. At the call yesterday the following prices were quoted: Water white SC; window glass $5. 90; N $5. 50; M 4.s5; K s4.b0; S3. 50:
