DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 19.-Liyerpool
continues firmer than expected, showing
increased spot sales. Total today 10000
bales at points higher quotations. Flu
lures were about 1 points better than due
Bullish intentions and operations in New
York continue the controlling factor in
our market Anticipation of bullish Oc-
tober bureau, crop deterioration during
the brief hot spell and the possibility Of
future storm or frost damage seem to
be the basis for the bulling.
a particular feature there is the widen
ing of December from October There is
considerable straddle interest here, long
of October against short in Liverpool, and
as no profitable liquidation of these strad-
dies has been possible so far, and as we
are getting close to October notice day,
october longs are liquidating or shifting
to longs in December, causing the
strength of the latter position.
The market worked up to ll.75 for De
cember and trading settled around lilo
for that Optior. .s--s. ..
Spot brokers say that spot people
bought some cotton yesterday against
the high futres, which they offered -
Europe, but that very few of these Of
fers were accepted.

corn trade is having its usual frost scare,
which comes around at the equinoctial
period, and while there may not be any
damage of consequence to the crop from

ton in wheat, corn and oats, and those
who bought Yesterday We're inclined to
do some selling this morning. The bulls
in corn were disappointed at the alb
sence of frost. The advices from Liver
pool showed the wheat and corn markets
higher there because of smaller Argentine
shipments and the fact that the wheat
in France is of rather poor quality.
Provisions were higher with hogs
Wheat closed a to CSC lower and rest

with the exception of the December,
which possessed some recuperative pow
er. Shorts in that month were covering

men of the trade have a line of that
month as well as a line of May
Corn closed with September sc better,
December sc lower, and May off about

weather affair at the moment and will
continue such until the crop is out of the
way of frost.

FRISCO MONTHLY
 REPORT OPTIMISTIC

The monthly report of the southeastern division of the Frisco lines was sent to the general offices by R. R. Root of the superintendents office yesterday. The re- port, which Is careful analysis of the general business outlook on the division, Is rather optimistic. It is noted therein that Birmingham is to get million dol- lar hotel. that the Tennessee company's coke ovens at Corey will start soon, that the Tidewater is going forward. and that the general situation is exceedingly bright
 In reference to the crop situation. it was the opinion expressed in the report that on account of the bad weather the cotton stored could not be brought to the mar kets and that good weather will stimulate the selling of the staple. In reference to next year it was pointed out in the re- port that the acreage would be materially reduced If the present indications came true, great many farmers preferring to plant corn and other staples.

The Birmingham High school basket bell quintette added another victory to their list when they. defeated the five men from Birmingham College yester- day afternoon at the high school gym nasium by the score of 26 to 12. AL thought the Birmingham College boys were much the heavier and older than the school boys, the Highs had little trouble in defeating their hefty rivals.
 The games was very fast and clean, while the two fives were always keen for the fray. The high school was hindered very much by the absence of Hood, the captain, from the line up. Hood Is out of the game with bad knee, and will hardly be in shape for the game Saturday with Auburn. Had Hood been in the game, the score would probably have been doubled.
 The Birmingham College team showed lack of practice and poor knowledge of signals. The reason, perhaps, was the short length of organization. The guards aud forwards of the Birming- ham College team were able to inter cept and to get hold of the sphere, but they were unable to shoot it in the basket Babe" Taylor, the hefty forward of the Birmingham team, was quite efficient in passing and intercept ing the ball. but when it came to put ting the ball in the basket, Babe" was not there.
