COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, october 31.-The cotton
market opened steady at advance of
points on October on covering by be-
lated shorts, while later months were
from = to . points lower in response to
lower cables and reports that a promi-
nent southern expert had estimated the
crop at 13,37J,Gt0 bales. Trading was
active after the opening and there seemed
to be demand for December, as re-
suit of which that month rallied to about
the closing figures of yesterday, impart-
ing rather steadier tone to the later
deliveries. and the general list worked up
> or :, points from the opening figures
on covering Early weather reports at

The market continued fairly steady
during the forenoon, with December rul-
ing two or three points over the closing
figures of last night, while later deliveries
neld within two or three points of yester-
days finals, in sympathy with the near
month strength. Leading spot people
continued to buy December. and the de-
mand from this source. in connect ton with
the fact that arrivals mere from the
south have been very small so far this
season. seemed to render the scattering
short interest more or less uneasy and to
promote considerable covering all along
the line. Private advices from several
interior points In the south reported that
farmers were Offering cotton freely at
the decline and there seemed little or no
unfavorable comment as to weather con-
ditionS, but selling on the bearlsh phases
in the situation was evidently checked by
nervousness over the position of Deem
