For n pe riod of three to five months most mills nre sold up on all of their ticketed lines, lu the staple brown cottons, especially on sheetings, drills and the coarser shirtings, the trade now passing Is of small account. The majority of buyers who have failed to place orders on line cottons and linens lu the jobbing trade are tumble to get their full quota of goods for the balance of the season. This is causing some of the large secondary mnrket operators to take on good* front houses more fortunately sit uated nnd to pay n round premium for the goods. There* Is n stronger mall order business on the above classes of goods than before In several mouths, coming principally from the Western ““ * states. Buyers of flue drew placing Initial Import orders for the f#ll of 19% and nre willing to take staples and some of the neat fancy woolens lu fair volume. In the local Jobbing houses the business that Is passing is on laces, white goods, ready-to-wear garments for women and flue dress cottons. Reports from nil sections of the country declare that retail trade is In n healthy condi tion. and that the prospects for n big win ter trade were seldom more promising The collections that are being made In nil branches of the trade carry out the ns- sumption that money Is moving more freely than was the case during September.

New Orleans, Oct. 10.—The weakness of the stock mnrket during several days has n pronounced effect on feeling In general nnd pessimism Is manifestly predominant. Liv erpool wns good enough again, nnd did a large spot business; total sale* 14,000, but thJ* remained unnoticed. New York open- «*d lofrer and continued weak, and our market followed. .There was no large sell ing, but In the absence of all support prices gave way quickly with J)eceml»er dropping ns low «* 10.93. This absence of specula tive bull support doc* not mean that there are no bulls, but the superior force of the other two markets is being recognized »ud with predictions arriving here dt.\y «»f another bear movement to be executed shortly lu cotton, people are bidding off. Talk and literature In circulation are uow as pronouncedly and one-aldedly bearish ns they were the opposite two months ago. The weather map shows generally fair weather, except cloudy Id the Atlantic coast districts; no frosts of consequence are reported. Indications point to geuernlly fair nnd warmer weather for the next tblr- ty-alx hour* except cloudy nnd showers Iii the southeastern portion, but a change Is Indicated for Saturday and n wet spell will proonbly set lu by then. There Is more In quiry from Europe, but busAiess has to-be turned away In several cases owing to the dock strike. Futures for the re**' of the morning ruled quiet nnd steady \ a I tout 8 Mnt» decline from yesterday’s i-.oslng fig ure* hut the market shows decided lack of confidence on the bull side, 0id any weak ening lu spot advices from the interior would undoubtedly lead to further lienr operation*. Everybody is on the Jump, ns It Is feared that the pessimistic advices continually arriving nnd disseminated lu the South will take effect. I -New York, Oct. 10.-.T. S. Bsche & Co.: Our market opened 3 to 6 points lower, re sponding slightly more than expected to the decline In Liverpool. The prophecies ror frost Inst night to Texas, Oklahoma and the Territories filled to materialize, fair weather prevailed in the licit, nnd Is also predicted for today and tomorrow. I nder this weight prices gave way readily and declined further to about 12015 points under yesterday's closing figures.

Kevcral other adverse Influence* coming on fop of the a fomnentloned. such ns French banks seeking gold, and decline in corn estimate*, added fuel to the fin me*. A severe attack on the Gould stocks was based on a decision by Nebraska railroad commission, declaring the roadbed of the Missouri Faelfle unsafe. The decline lu the general market resulted i» some forced liquidation. The situation has not mended to any extent, and further depression I* looked for today.

Missouri Pitclfli' has been spending too niueji money In dividends and not enough In niHliiteiiauce charges, other roads are In the same class and the public docs not care to discriminate. The (‘opper tuefal nnd Iron slhuitfoiis nre still the strong bear card*., nnd are growing to be of overwhelming Importance as In dicating the extent of the business reac tion. while we do not advocate the short sale of the liest rails nt these prices, wo do believe they will go lower, nud that In tending Investors should hare patience. At the same rime Missouri Pacific and New York rintral, on reduced dividend probabili ties, will likely suffer very nevere declines. As for the Industrials, we continue the advice consistently given during rite past few weeks, to the effect thnt they are a good sale on nil the rallies, espei-lnllv the ('opper, Kmeltlng and Hteel issues, which. In oar opinion, will ivrtnluly aril much lower. On bulges cotton should be sold. The bulls nre lu eommnnd of the grains, but we would not buy at these prices. MONEY AND.EXCHANGE.
