New Orleans, Sept. 25.—The cotton market continued narrow today. One of the worst weather maps posted title eeason failed to move prices much, and after the openln* the market ranged over only 4 points, In spite of a storm warning from'the government to the effect that a tropical storm In the Gulf of Mexico was likely to move north and do some damage In the cotton belt. Another storm wae also headed to the cotton belt to the northwest’, but this did not scare the shorts much either. Much rain was shown on tho weather map, especially In Texas, and the fore cast promised more moisture over a large portion of the belt. Even the bears had to acknowledge that the weather was unfavorable, but this did not help prices much. Liverpool wae Inclined to be bullish, and aent over prlvato dispatches saying that spin nere were getting uneasy and were more Inclined to buy. At the same time futures were bettor than"expected. This, together with the bad map, caused a higher opening here, but after the opening the market fell flat. The weekly weather reports, as ueual, were no Influence. Movements were on i large scale. Ports, 67,162 for today, and operators were more Inclined to else up the movement and the demand for the actual stuff than the weather. There was nothing very strong about the spot demand, and, on the whole, buyers appeared disposed to hold off. If wet weather continues for a couple of days longer, as some weather ex perts claim It will, shorts will undoubt edly get nervous, as reports of damage to the open cotton and the Stopping of picking will roll In great numbers. It Is a weather market and therefore an uncertain on*. For the moment the short side looks rather dangerous, ex cept to those with long purses. steady.

Sopt. 25.—The Sun nays "IR a small professional market It was an eaey matter to force prlcee down hero and In Liverpool, and It was done. There wae conelderable talk about an Increase In the recelpta. That Liver pool prices were depressed, partly from this side, Is a fact admitted In private dispatches. Yet It Is quite os true that tho spinning demand In Liverpool shows a distinct falllns off and there, as well as here, la a general expecta tion that In the near future something will occur that always occurs nbout October 1, as regularly as the autumn eeason arrives—receipts will Incrense. That Is admitted. The question Is, h<sv much will they IncrenSe and how loni will they Increase If prices decline Already there are signs that the South em planter Is becoming restive under tho recent decline of 210 a bale nnd Is disposed to hold back cotton. The actual crop movement at the present time Is small, whether because of the lateness of the season, the holding back of the crop, or some sluggishness In the demand, English spinners' opin ions differ, what Is certain Is that cotton is not coming forward as freely as expected, and there are those who predict that It will not until prices take an upward turn."—Glbert & Clay. New Orleans. Sept. 25.—'Times-Dem ncrat: "With the supply of actual cot ton Increasing without full correspond Ing Increase In current demand, surface speculators have become active oper ators on the beer side of the account, and holding the market, therefore, proved on uneasy task yesterday, not withstanding the approach of a de structive storm on the cotton belt coast and forecasted rains over many sec tions of the Southern states. Hulls can coin capital out of wet weather when the fields are covered with open cot ton, but bears have ancient custom, freer offerings from Texas, and a rath, er positive waiting policy on the part of spinners which they are able to bring Into play as an offset to the an ticipated bullish tenor of the coming bureau condition report. Consequently room argument has broadened out somewhat and extreme low price views are again being voiced. Good policy, however, would seem to prompt conser vative fluctuations until after the bu reau shall have been disposed of unless developments In the Interim prove of s potential character.”—Ware A Leland.
