COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE cot
ton market was fairly active early to-
day, but sentiment seemed to be pretty
well divided and fluctuations were COM
paratively narrow and irregular After
opening barely steady at decline OF
to 8 points, January rallied from
11.63 to 11.69, while March sold up
from 11.SS to 11.94, on reports that
freezing temperatures would prevent
the opening of anything but matured
bolls in some sections of the south
west; covering, and considerable buy
ing attributed to some of the local
spot interests. There was continued
Wall street liquidation of both near
and late months, however, and the ral-
lies were barely maintained during the
early trading.
Liverpool was rather lower than due,
and the feeling around the local ring
seemed to be somewhat unsettled by
the. situation in the near east, or talk
of less favorable international politics.
Futures opened barely steady. De-
80; May, 1905; July, 1912.
The slight early rally was followed
by renewed weakness during the mid
die of the morning under continued
Wall street liquidation, scattered
southern selling and local pressure.
January contracts sold off to 11.60.
while March declined to 11.S6. or about
to 12 points net lower. but at this
level the market was steadied by COW
erine and prices rallied 5 or 6 points
around midday on a rally in New Or
leans, reports of a f1rmer foreign ex-
change situation and more favora BILE

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, La. November IL
Poor cables and improved weather over
the belt sent the price of cotton points
under yesterdays close at the opening &
of the market today. Profit taking by
scalping shorts met the decline. and
half an hour after the opening the
market stood at net loss of l to 2
points.
Futures opened steady: December,
1874; January, 1852; March, 11.77; May,
1894; July, 1903.
Reports of some improvement in the
spot demand steadied the market in
the face of rumors of unloading by
large longs. At noon prices were at a
net decline of points.
The rumor that a private bureau was
out with a ginning report of S,730.00O
bales up to November IA caused buying
which in the trading up to 1:30 put
prices 2 to points over yesterdays
close.
