WITH THE PRICE MAKERS.

A New York dispatch of last night
summarizes the developments in the
speculative market yesterday as fol-
lows:
Business in the cotton market was
restricted by continued storm uncer-
tainties today, and after a moderate
decline during the early trading, prices
firmed up. with the close very steady
at q net advance of to 8 points Sales
were estimated at 100000 bales.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline of l to points, and soon sold of
to net loss of to points, with Oc-
tober decidedly weak under scattering
liquidation promoted by Indifferent Ca
bles, a bearish estimate Of weekly Eu-
ropean requirements and the fact that
the West Indian storm had not reach
ed the cotton belt over Sunday. But
advfces from Washington indicating
that this storm was still working to-
ward the Florida coast, checked the
decline and caused some rally during
the middle session, with the upward
| tendency becoming more pronounced
toward the close on a firm turn in the
New Orleans market which was sup
posed by some to reflect increased ap-
prehension that the storm would even
tually work into the belt. The close
was at practically the best point OF
the day. Southern spot markets re-
ported early Were &c cent lower to sc
higher.

been more inquiries during the past
three weeks than during many months.
1t was the opinion of the members
present representing many cotton
states, that the crop Of cotton is going
to be materially less than has been
previously expected, and that cotton
will not sell as low as many have
thought In fact, the members think,
cotton is scraping the bottom now:
All these matters were considered and
it was resolved to recommend to all the
spinners of the south that they do not
sell yarns for less than 16 cents on a
basis of los, when middling cotton In
New York is selling at 81 cents; and
that the present curtailment Of so per
cent of their production of the mills
be continued until such time as prices
appear to show reasonable profit to
the mills.
It was further recommended that no
yarns shall be accumulated that are
not already sold: that all mills be
urged not to run unless they have or
ders showing profit.

Soft Yarn Spinners Determine on Fur.
ther CurtaiIment.

Three hundred and twenty-five thou
sand spindles were represented in the
meeting Of the Southern Soft Yarn Spin
ners' association, which convened yes
terday afternoon in the Selwyn hotel.
The attendance was the best which has
marked any meeting in a long time.
The following is the substance Of the
resolutions adopted:
The spinners on investigation, found
that there is no stock of yarns on hand
to amount to anything and not much in
the mills to sell and but little on con-
Signment and is much lower than an
ticipated and greatly reduced since the
last meeting in June.
1t was further found that the curtail-
ment which was agreed on in June has
been more than carried out, the mills
having on the average curtailed more
than 50 per cent Of their production.
Still further was it found that the
demand is picking up, there having
