Weekend Market
Promises Bull Turn
Better Prices for Cotton Seem in
Prospect-Spot Houses
Lend Support.
BY EDWARD LOW RANLETT,

NEW YORK, oct. 1s.-The cotton
market continues strong for no partic-
ular reason that can be urged at the
moment The bulls depend on the small
stocks in New York and the heavy de-
maud which continues TO drain the
Southern markets. All or this has been
used and has had It's effect in shaping
sentiment
Meanwhile the entire world is taking
cotton at nearly or above record prices.
In the cotton goods division of the
dry goods market buyers appear more
anxious than sellers. With strong prices
and d good demand there Is nothing to
prevent excellent fall trade
The weeks weather reports have been
Of a kind to increase crop estimates.
TO-day's market reflected a much more
optimistic feeling with an undertone
which seemed to promise better prices
IN the near future. Although early
prices were easy, with declines from 6
to 10 points. there was a quick recovery
and a gradual rise to above the finals
Of Friday. The close was steady at
small net changes.
A little hedge pressure was in evil
dence during the afternoon and there
was evening up Of speculative accounts
over the weekend. Support came from
leading spot houses and this, with bull
ish forecast, inspired scattered short
covering and caused a stronger under
tone

MARKETFIR
Georgia and Other Eastern States
Show Less Disposition to
Sell Cotton CheapIy,

MEMPHIS. oct. 1S.-According %
the figures recently announced by he
Census Bureau, the cotton consumers
OF the United States were very busy
in September They used 100000
bales Of raw material, compared with
$4,000 for the same period a year
go Despite their free buying OF the
new crop, there was a reduction of
stocks in the spinners' warehouses
as well as in independent WAREHOUSES
In the cotton belt
The report was encouraging to tho
bulls in the market, and was regard
ed as indicating a healthy state Of
business and prospect for continued
demand for the actual. as dry goods
reports have been favorable, and the
new tariff is thought to have been
discounted. Prices of goods seem to
be on a basis satisfactor to the man
ufacturers. and there Is no important
accumulation Of stocks, which is an
important factor as affecting the
probable demand for the raw mate
rial.
There have been no important frost
scares, and temperatures have been
such as to hasten maturity, and, eX-
Cept where the weevil is in large
numbers to increase fruitage. There
has been no Interference with pick
ing and ginning, and the high price j
have encouraged free marketing, the
big receipts having stimulated an up
ward revision Of crop estimates.
1t perhaps was not unnatural that
after the bullish campaign had run
Its course, predicated to some extent
on very small crop estimates thar
were based on the October condition
report. the tide should swring too
far the other way. The supply of
hedges against the actual bales was
large, as is the case every year in
October, and with the speculative
market reaCtiOnary, the spinners nat
urally adopted a policy of buying
sparlngly. The continuation of tight
money, a very weak stock market
and it's disturbing effects on general
business sentiment also Mt nicely in
with the plans Of the bears and those
working for lower level
But when the spot markets showed
disposition to resist and spinners TO
hbHtIb dtlS llltlt was u N'i'NN
to the decline. All along there has
been fairly good buying Of spots, and
quotations have not declined as much
as contracts The southwest has
been holding firmer than the eastern
belt, due to the small crop west.
During the past few days signs that
the Atlantic holders were not dis
posed to follow the decline have ap-
pcared In this market sales have
been fairly large, though receipts
have been so heavy that stock has
gained on a year ago. An entire alb
sence OF distressed" cotton has been
noted, and middllng has remained
above 13 cents.
At this time average ideas on the
size of the crop are around 100000
bales. though It is admitted that an
early frost in the Atlantic States
would do much harm and cut esti-
mates for those areas 1t is believed
here that Texas and Oklahoma VIII
show a loss Of at least 100000 bales
from what they yielded last season.

Just because the great packers

meat prices will decline, is the opln-
ion of w. NJ. Burke, manager Of the
II. II. Whitcomb & Burke Co, grocery
brokers.
For years the packers have not
been making any profit on the sale Of
meat" says Mr., Burke. Their only
profit has come from speciaItles, such
as canned meats and allied products
1t is likely, l am advised, that any
saving which comes from the re-
moval of duty on meat will be eaten
up in transportation and other
charges, and the only advantage TO
be gained is that there will be more
nearly enough meat to go around.
Even Argentinas supply of beet
cattle is small compared TO ths
worlds needs, statistics show. We
may be thankful to get meat at ALL
even at present prices. When Libby

which was steady at a small net gain
