COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. November 4.-Dullness
prevailed In the cotton market through
out the entire forenoon, and the close
was steady, at q net loss Of to s
points.
The market opened steady. with prices
g to points lower. In response to
little selling by room traders in the
way of evening up accounts before the
holiday and In anticipation OF the CEN
sus report next Wednesday morning.
So little important news came In dur
ing the day that there was no incentive
to broaden operations on either side OF
the market. The further agitation In
the south In favor Of holding cotton
was used as basis here for a little
bull support of the market under the &c
level, although in most quarters II
was considered that the remedy TOT
low prices lay in reduced acreage
rather than In trying to create an artl-
fetal advance after a bumper crop hao
been produced. The south was a
moderate seller here this morning. and
helped fill up what little demand came
in from room shorts. The CHINA STU
alton was still an uncertain factor IN
the market, and in view Of its i'm
portance at Manchester some were OF
the opinion that the next important
move in prices would como from the
LIVERPOOL market and be downward un-
less the China situation improved ma
terially. In dry goods circles there
was a little better demand for gooas
today, Influenced by the fact that cot
ton has now held around 9c TOT
some time. indicating more resistance
to declining tendencies than has Deen
tho case heretofore.

NEW YORK, November 4.-Thc recov-
cry In stocks was carried further today
The upward movement was uneven. and
less spontaneous than on earlier days of
the week, but advances Were general.
The overshadowing feature OF the mar
ket from a speculative standpoint. was
the movement Of Reading. which was
carried up points TO 1851 a rise OF
more than 10 points from the low figure
OF the week.
The rise today was generally regarded
rs largely the result OF manipulation. and
u was believed that the stock was being
forced up TO cover realizing elsewhere in
the list. There was considerable profit
taking on the theory that the rise In
Reading had been too preciptate, and
for a time the market showed some
weakness. Before the close prices hard
ened In every quarter.

The Erie issues and Canadian Pacific
were again in demand at higher prices.

ROAD BEING OILED.
Several Car Loads Will Be Necessary
to Complete the Work.

On Saturday the first of twelve or
more tank cars Of road oil to be spread
over the surface OF the State road lead
ing north from Oakland, was received
here and on Tuesday the work Of oiling
the roadway was begun 1nder the di,

capacity of the tank wagons is about
600 gallons and the service of four
