There was heavy buying during the flrat hour by some of the lending short Inter ests. It was estimated that three or four of the lending houses had covered fully 100,000 bales of short contracts since yesterday morning, and It was estimated that one Wall street firm bought 30.000 b.-itea this morning nnd another about 20,000 bales. Part of this buying was believed to be of Iona account. 1'rlces In the middle of the morning were about ?#S net lower. Liverpool advices Tdesday morning were entirely satisfactory to the bears.

There are unmistakable evidences that the Southern farmers nnd planters are let ting loose their accumulated lines of spots. I res sure on the cottou market clearly Indi cates this. The break of yesterday below 10c nnd the sharp decline In spots In Liver pool this morning confirms this fact. We see no reason to bull cotton now, the farmer must let go. Money stringency and financial unsettlement Is forcing the spot cottou on the market. We believe that prices will work lower for the preseut. General commission house selling.

New Orleans, Oct. 29.—Hayward. Vick & Clark: Better feeling In New York over financial affairs, nnd unfavorable weather should both help cotton. Would rather buy It. Good buying now nt the decline, there are signs that big hold of cotton lor good, all the way down. The break in stock market of $2 to $3 causes dullness in cotton nt the moment.

New Orleans, Oct. 29.—There was no particular reason for the demoralised ••pi ning of our cotton mnrker this morning. General lack of confidence nnd support pro- 'filed conditions that even the few small selling orders were not absorbed without great loss. First trades were nt a decline of about 16 poiuts.

The restriction of credit ih brokerage firms played, of course, an Im- INirtant psrt In the situation.
