NEW YORK, October 26.—(Special)
—Liverpool’s session was little short
of a tragedy. Offerings from Texas
must be hedged, and there is noth
ing to do but rush in the market and
sell, if Texas continues to sell cot
ton in Liverpool, contracts there
must seek a lower and much lower,
level. Our session was the usual dull
Saturday affair, but at one time the
market was as wobly as a three-day
old calf. Wall street reached for their
Profits just before the close, steady
ing January to 11:10. No price mak
ing factors were in evidence during
the day. The haunting fear of the!
longs is that Texas will continue to
waeken on their spots, and if they
do, the end of bull hopes is plainly in
! sight. Great doings are expected next
N week and it will be well for longs to
'keep their weather eye on the market
and their good ear close to the ground
so they may hear the first rumbling
of (he storm which now seems inevi
table. Liverpool should come unchang
ed on Monday, but its dollars to
doughnuts she will come lower.

FURTHER YIELDING IN
COTTON CONTRACTS
Free Selling in Local Spot
Market.
In the opening jolt yesterday the
cotton contract markets lost from
8 to 13 points. This was due in part
to por cables and in part to the bear
ish visible supply statement. Os
course the financial 1 troubles in New
York hung like a pall over the two
markets. Liverpool was at one time
higher all along the line, but near
positions, including January, lost the
gains. In the American market prices
yielded after the opening but late in
the session were steadied on covering
of shorts over the holiday. After
New York had closed New Orleans
weakened on reports of a loosening
of the hold on spots in Texas. The
close at New York was practically
the same as for the opening, 7 to 12
points net lower, with December con
siderably ,in the lead. Spots were
unchanged. New Orleans closed 13
to 15 points below the final for Fri
day. Spots were quoted 1-16 cent
low'er. Liverpool spots were 16 points
lower with sales of 5,000 bales. Fu
tures closed barely steady 4 points
lower to 1 point higher.
Reecipts at the leading ports were
Savannah, 14,872; New Orleans 7,737;
Galveston 7,699. The estimates for all
ports tomorrow is 45,000 bales.
In the Americus spot market prices
were unchanged from the day before,
sales being generally on the basis of
10 1-4 cents for good middling. Re
ceipts were not nearly so heavy as
for the last Saturday.
Incoming cotton was sold pretty
freely at prices quoted, at which fig
ures there was a good demand. Some
of the cotton held over from the day
before was turned loose. Local ware
houses have on hand stocks consid
erably smaller than for the same
I time last year, and reports show
that comparatively little cotton is
being held back on the farms. The
receipts by wagon yesterday were
: .739 bales.
