COTTON MARKET
 OPENS STEADY Apprehension of Unfavora- bIe Weather Affects a
 Sharp Advance

New York, October 26.-Apprehension of less favorable weather caused rather a sharp advance in the cotton market dur ing today's early trading. but the de- mand appeared to reflect covering by nervous shorts chiefly and prices later weakened under selling by spot houses and the liquidation of early buyers with the close steady at a net decline of to 10 points.
 The market opened steady at a de cline of ? points to an advance of ? points. which was just about as due on the cables. There was some irregularity carly but reports that storm warnings had been issued for Florida from Key West to JupiterL and private prediction of heavy rains over the southern half of the belt, appeared to alarm the scat tering short interest and prices worked up to a net advance of 13 to b points on the active months during the morn ing. Southern, as we'll as Wall street, and other local houses, were buyers on the advance, but around g. .4Sc for Decem- Der and 9.31c for January big spot in- terests became heavy sellers and the mar
 
 ing when many early buyers for a re- action seemed to be liquidation, owing to the failure of demand to broaden the earlier advance. The close was at prac- tically the lowest.
 The troubles in China, which country is recognized as one of the biggest buy CTS of cotton goods in Manchester, seemed to be attracting more attention today as private cables from Liverpool this morning reported a less active trade de- mand. The importance of the situation in the far east was probably emphasized by a cable from leading Liverpool statstician estimating this seasons re- quirements of American cotton at 13. 300, = 900 bales, providing the troubles in China and between Italy and Turkey are quick ly settled; otherwise, he predicted a se- rious curtailment
 Receipts 72.792 bales. against 7,019 last week and GAP last year. Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans 6s32 against 1S4sl last year. and at Houston 16f13, against 20791 last year.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, october 26-Liverpool vas unexpectedly lower on the advices from China and on free offerings from the south. Large American buying orders were sent from this side, and the decline was quickly recovered
 There has been so much cotton wanted around cents that the steadiness Of prices during the past fortnight has brought about the covering of a large short interest during this period Wheth- CT or not this demand will continue in face of increasing crop estimates (uhless the weather should become bad) is the key to the market. We must now look to the demand from spinners and iron investment buying to absorb such cot ton as the planters wish to sell, as w, doubt If many will care to follow the market on the short side at this price Technically therefore, the market 'night be said to be in a weaker condition.
 Liverpool should be five points lower tomorrow.
