COTTON.

Cotton prices are probably more
sensitive to outside influences than
any other commodity dealt in on the
Exchanges of the world. The British
coal strike ,and fear Of it's far reach
ing consequences, proved to be too
heavy burden on a market already
weakened by unsettled domestic con-
ditions, such as high money rates,
contraction of credit, and liquidation
of manufactured products. ,..-.. ..
We have repeatedly warned our
friends for weeks past that liquida-
ton Of commodities was in progress,
and caution should be exercised on
the long side, and during the past few
weeks, and particulrly during the
past few days, cotton prices have ex-
perienced sensational declines.
When we consider that during
April the December delivery sold as
high as 1921 and the May delivery
as high as "a cents, and that these
deliveries during the past few days
have sold as low as 1880 for Decem-
Der and 1855 for May, we must con-
clude that such drastic declines have
about discounted most all of the un-
favorable conditions from which cot
ton has been suffering. O.,
The monetary conditions should
improve from now on, and, besides
this, we are approaching the disas-
trous frost period for the crop. Re-
ports of killing frosts are possible at
any time, and may have material
effect in changing sentiment, both
here and abroad, and starting an up
ward trend. For the last two days
Liverpool has been large buyer, and
domestic demand has increased in
spot markets. Exporters are anxious
to fill orders for immediate require
ments.
While pilitical and credit conditions
are against the market at the moment
and may even cause lower prices tenn

NO POSTAL INCREASE.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Postal esti-
mates, to be submitted to the coming
session of congress, Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson said today, will not
recommend any increase in the two
cent first class letter rate in connec-
ton with any plan of taxation re-
vision and will renew the depart
ment's previous recommendations for
a one cent local delivery rate. The
postmaster general estimates. that a
reduction of the local'delivery rate
from two cents to one will probably
increase postal revenues rather than
decrease it. =.
