DAILY COTTON LETTER.
New Orleans, Oct. 17.—The cotton mar
kets yesterday In the face of moat depress
ing outside Influences showed more resist
ance than for n long time. The Jump In
the near positions, which aro more depend
ent ou actual cotton for price Justification
than the distant options, reveals the bn-
woken tribute paid by i>ear operators to
the stannebneaa of soot-holders In the

Ing on, and If signs are not deceiving,
some t*eara ar# wavering. Of course, we all
hear of the qttlck break being engineered

■w the month of Heptember, bales averaged
L i 64 100, against 527 76-100 last year, or 1%
1-cr cent leas. Oeeurlng so early In the
season, this should Im a reliable Indication
of disappointing out-turn In yield. Slgnlfl-
cant Information was received today from a
financial renter In Georgia, which said
banks are easier and spot people not aa

sales large; total 10,000. Our markst open
ed lower, but .turned round sharply as soon
New York allowed signs of steadiness.

after the close of business last night,
did not materialize. ‘Beyond the as

without a break. American .stocks
were fractionally lower ln‘ London, but
thla was of no significance. Financial

merely awaiting developments. Th*n
a fresh attack was made and succeed
ed In forcing the Copper shares, the
Steels and many of the railroad lead

rebound and the market had the ap
