Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, November 3-Most of
the selling today outside Of scattered
hedges has been through commission
hoses to secure profits and has hardly
created a rippel on the surface of the
market where every active month has
reached new high level. Private crop
and spot advices from the south have
been as bullish as ever. Five steamers
are reported loading cotton at CAL
weston for Liverpool, and the CONT
nent and IL more are due to arrive
presently for the same purpose. SO that
the export movement is, not likely to
show any important falling off. In
fact we hear that foreign buyers are
pushing their agents here for more
activity in securing cotton while It is
available and that the price cuts very
little figure in the buying.
Advices regarding the strike OF long
shoremen which has been going on here
for so long. indicates that 1t is practi-
cally over and that the men gradually
will return to work after tomorrow,
which will aid In clearing up much
cotton that has been held up for lack
of labor to handle it. The amount is
estimated at fully $4,000 bales Total
exports today were 1900 bales. There
is also a report that the coal miners
are willing to open negotiations. This
