New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans October 2.-Cotton spots were steady. Middling, 15-16c. The revision committee readjusted quotations, advancing ordinary and low middling 1-16c, while all other grades were made 1-16c lower. Sales were 1000 bales on the spot and 1900 to arrive.
 Cotton futures opened steady, 5q7 points over last night. The effect of the gin ners and condition reports was at ilrst bullish and later the cause of marked decline. When the ginners' report came in, prices advanced gntl the active months were 4G6 points above the open ing figures. Expectation of larger amount ginned than the report showed, caused this advance Later the eondi- tion report, showing the crop to be ahead of the ten-year average, had no im- mediate effect on prices. reconsidera- tion of the significance of the ginners report and the influence of the condition report finally sent prices 16 points below the highest for the day in the active months. There was some improvement before the closing, but trading was not active. The closing was steady, un- changed to points under last Night.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, October 2.-(Special.) )-With the bureau report of 69,7 per cent the trade is greatly interested to know what will be the effect upon the European spnners, will they buy freely. or will they conclude that the report means such a crop as will enable them to se- cure their requirements at a lower price? After the report was read until the last few minutes of the session, selling orders came in small quantities from the south ern markets. accompanied by reports that there was more disposition to sell by spot holders.
 The local trade was disappointed at the failure of the market to advance, while cables from Liverpool state a lower mar ket is expected there, as the movement is too heavy for that market to buy heavily until the lockout is settled. We should say that the market is without distinct tendency and that it will be gov erned by the action of the south.
