ANDERSON A CO.’S COTTON LETTER I New York, Oct. 13.—In view of the Bntfnusd unsettled weather conditions lad tho seeming wide difference of Ipinlon as to the probable yield In lome parts of the belt, ahorts in the lotton market today were not Inclined a hold their accounts open over the fundty Interval, and buying for these lecounts served to bring about a firm jullng. On the higher levels, however, [here was considerable profit-taking, the liquidation caused reactions am the top. Still up to the cloee re was a firm tone and *much cot coming out was quickly taken by Strong Interests. The week-end sta- pstics showed that farmers are putting all their time gathering fhe crop, id that consequently the movement not as large as It might be under :her circumstances. An increase In he receipts, however. Is still predicted n conservative quarters, as private telegrams denote that cotton Is now Accumulating at Interior points. The pot market continues firm; but close bservers claim that consumers are buying only on the recessions, and they are taking only enough for Im- nedUtte requirement* relying on their leaerves to carry them until predic tions made on the crop jare verified. The speculative market promises to continue to be aKscted by weather (ondltlons and these should be care- regarded. ' THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
