TODAY’S PORT RECEIPT8.
The following table-shows receipts at the

unit had apparently decided upon n
•uwiJwhnt lower figure ginning returns were
made the basis for a pretty general selling
movement. Moreover, the census findings
removed the lastbuU prop, nml by the
aame token efHhfiSkted tbcf one deterrent
to aggressive^qta*rations on* the part of
bear Interest*. and.Its JSe*>wlthout saying
that this latter element of the trade has
made full use of the advantage gained.
“The market has lawn hammered In the
most effective iphuncr. bulls have turnedi
tall and added their long holdings to nn
already burdensome supply of contracts.
Southern speculators and the local trading
public, who refused to pay any attention
to the buying side. Imre freely committed
themselves to the short end of the account,
and spot dealers have furnished Increased
pressure In the shape of hedge sc! lug. This
latter class of offerings Is strongly Indica
tive of a tendency toward concession on
tUe part of spot holder*, and while It can
not i»e truthfully said that cash cotton In
the South Is pressing on the market, there
Is nevertheless plenty of evidence that the
supply for the time being Is considerably
heavier than the demand.
“Mr. Elllaon, of Liverpool, estimates the
present season's requirements of American
cotton at 12.154,000 bales. Mr. Huston, of
the saute place, estimates tho American
cotton crop ut 13.000.000 bales, minimum,
and possibly a great Meal more provided
tho ensuing several weeks art* favorable to
picking ami maturing of late planted cotton.
If these two estimates are accepted ns final
and the carry-over from last season Is mill
ed te the apparent surplus of production,
there seems to be small cause for worry
on the score of bales needed and bales
available. But there la no doubt a strong
tendency to regard consumption ns under
estimated and likewise a strong tendency to
regard production ns overestimated as per
the foregoing postulates, but In the absence
of guesses from equally well posted theo
rists the logical thing la to accept these
gratuitous figures.”

WEATHER CONDITIONS.
More or less cloudiness prevails this
morning throughout the cotton licit, with
higher temperatures In nil districts ex
cept northern Texas. There It is colder,
due to the southeastward movement of the
high pressure nren which wns over the
northern Rocky Mountains yesterday. It la
central this morning over the plains and
has reduced temperature* 10 degrees to 2C
degrees from northern Texas to Nebraska.
The storm center, which was over Minne
sota yesterday, seems to have filled tip and
now exists only ns a mild depression over
western Pennsylvania. It has caused light
rain over the lake region nnd Ohio valley.
The rainfall In the cotton belt was Inappre
ciable.
Conditions favor partly cloudy and colder
weather In this section tonight and tomor

New York, Oct 30.—Today's deal
ings were noteworthy for one thing
only, and that was a farther shrink
age In their volume. So far as ai
tendency was dlscernable at all it w_
In the direction of lower prices, but net
changes at the end of the forenoon
were too trifling to be of any moment.
AU that the day's trading signified was
an Increasing reluctance among nil
classes of stock exchange operators to
extend their commitments In the face
of the Impending election, with the a
companylng uncertainty of money co
dltlons. The market, what there w
£# l y 8Wa y ed the action o t
Steel and Pennsylvania—the two stocks
which, in view of the action on their
dividends, were naturally the center of
•pecidaHv© interests. In the case of
Jteel, the selling was both heavy and
insistent, and was conducted Jn such a
way as to Indicate that small hones
!l e , re <* 4 ntertn,ned that the directors
this axternoon would authorize any ad
vance In the dividend rate The sell-
Ing of Pennsylvania, which was equal-
ly persistent, threw like doubt upon
the probability of any change being
made in dividends at Thursday's meet
ing. The Incidents altogether served
to sap what little strength remained in
the market.

minutes trading in most stocks showed de

Trading in the market all through
the first hour was idle and listless, and
price movements, even in stocks which
are regarded as speculative leaders,
were confined to within a range ot
half a point. The market was the nar-
rowest in a very long time. London
transactions were limited to Jess than
10,000 shares.
