DAILY COTTON LETTER.
New Orleans, Oct. 17.—The cotton mar
ket* yesterday In the face of most depress
ing outside Influences showed more resist
ance than for a long time. The Jump In
the near positions, which are more depend-
ent- on actual cotton for price Justification
than the distant options, reveals the un
spoken tribute paid by hear operators to
the staunchness of snot-holders In the
fiouth. There Is lots of secret buying go
ing on, and If slgna aro not deceiving,
some bears are wavering. Of coarse, we all
hear of the quick break being engineered
and Intended In the leading markets to
force spot ladder* to give up. but will this
break 6e carried out? Iteeent frosts have
done considerable damage and crop views
are being modified. Twelve million mnxi
mum Is spoken of by conservative men on
both sides of the trade. The lighter weight
of the hales Is also attracting atte^lon.
For the month of Heptember, twites averaged
529 &4-1M. against 527 75-100 last year, or 1%
per rent less. Occtiring so early In.the
season, this should l>c a reliable Indication
of disappointing out-turn In yield. Hlgnlfl
cant Information was received today from a
financial center In Georgia, which said-
hanks are easier and spot people not na
ready sellers as In tlio past. Liverpool
wss a boat as expected aud steady. Spot
sales large; total 10.000. Onr market open
ed lower, but turned round sharply as soon
ns New York showed signs of steadiness.
Any change In New York or news of a
anllt in bear ranks would have a marked
effect abroad, roncentrnted ap|nuers a . buy
ing would undoubtedly follow. Unfavora
ble weather conditions also hnlped the mar
ket. Extensive rains fell In the western
states. Wet wenther Is Indicated for the
next forty-eight hoars. A severe cold wave
Is annrnnchlng from the northwest, and
should strike the northwestern aud north
central belt by Monday. The market con
tinued quiet following New York In all
changes, which were mostly small, and
around 10.97 for January as a basis.
yew York. Oct. 17.-1. H. (Inch. A Co.:
The mixed sentiment In the whole cotton
situation waa expressed In this morning’s
Irregular range of nrlcea. The December
deal hampers the sising no of the actual
K it Ion of cotton and renders It more or
» difficult for the trader aud spinner
to hedge ngainst their commitments In the.
artiutl stuff. Liverpool cables, were -oleint
as expected at the hour of the local opeu-
lng. The market opened at about 2 points
ad vs nee and then moved Irregnlarlv with
in a range of about 10 points, fihowers
and warmer temperatures prevailed In the
belt, jmd the mop, as a whole, was con
sidered favorable. Reports from dry goods
centers were again pessimistic. 1 he action
of Marshall Field In cutting prices Is having
Its effect, every mail bringing lit cancella
tions for orders from all over the country.
