New York, october 15.--cotton man. ifested disposition to advance today ral1ying 17 to 20 points from opening figures. Some prominent interests bought moderately on forecast of rains in the western belt, to be followed by cooler weather. This buying, however. was offset by liquidation on the part of some big local long interests. At this period of the year it is natural for the market to show some hesitation. Estimates of the crop from various sources are likely to be published soon and will doubtless have temporary ef- feet for or against prices. We believe, however. that futures should be bought on all moderate declines but favor taking profits for the time being on quick advances.
 Cotton seed oil futures experienced sharp reaction today but we still believe they are the cheapest and most promising of all commodities. We think the highest prices seen in re- cent years will shortly be forthcom-
