STEVENS COTTON LETTER.
By Special Wire to Lyon 42 James,
New York, Nov. 16.—The cry la still tt
comes, still the cotton comes. It comes
in such volumes as to depress prices.
That is (he long ands hort of it Liver
pool sends word that It will not advante
until our receipts fall off. They hatfe
fallen off during the past week, but not
as much as Liverpool desires. Today New
York declined 5 to 7 points, owing to a
decline in Liverpool and estimated re-
celpta at the ports of 62,000 bales. Most
of this decline was recovered, however,
when It. was found that receipts at some
of the interior towns were smaller then
expected. But there was another. down?
ward movement later on when some In
terior towns showed larger arrivals than
had been looke for. The market closed
4 to 6 points lower, with sales of 121,'JOt
bales. Liverpool dropped l-52d on the
spot and 314 to 4 points for futures. For
the first time tbi? Beacon Us importation*
for the week ion ahead of the corre
sponding week last year. In the mean-
time the spot sales are comparatively
moderate and today were only llUJQO bales.
New Orleans at one tune was T point#
lower, but recovered part of this. Mem
phis declined 1-16 of a cent but sold
9,100 boles. Savannah and Norfolk fel<
l-)6 of a cent. Spot cotton here was dul
and without quotable change. In Man
Chester trade wax quiet and yams welt
weak. The stock of all kinds of cottor
in Liverpool is 718,000 T>al os, against 660,001
Ifiht week and M2,0u0 last year. The re
ceipts at the ports today were 59.5SE
bales, agednst 86.678 bales last week and
56,os?- bales last .year. Total for Ihe
week, 861982 bales, against 296,£5 Iasi
week and 291.221 M?t year. New Orleans
receipts toanorrourare estimated at 18,«X
to .l.ftto bales, against 15,863 last year.
The interior receipts this week have been
246,417 bales, against 257,005 last week and
871,157 last year. Th« signal service pre
dicts a cpid wave 4n Arkansas and coolei
or much colder weather In various othei
Sections of the cotton. The South, espe
cially New Orleans, bought here today,
and so did local shorts. The compara
tively small trade at Liverpool Is a draw.
b«ck ond so are the liberal receipts, and
yet there Is more or leas Investment buy
ing and the conviction Is spreading tha
prices cannot decline materially from th*
present quotatons. We adhere to the ofl
expressed opinion that purchases on the
*mk spots wil lultiihately prove advan-
tageous.

LAMSON BRO.’S GRAIN LETTER.
By Special wire to Lyon & James.
Chicago, Nov. 16.—The action of wheal
today rather corroborates our opinion oi
yesterday that it was high day for a
turn. We havo had an advance of 5
cents. Our visible supply continues tc
increase, and it is noticeable that the re
ceipts in the Northwest and at this polnl
arc slgntly larger and there is a genera
disposition on the part of elevator met
and others holding cash wheat to sell foi
future delivery in oroer to hedge against
their holdings. At the opening there wai
a rush to buy by the parties who solo
out yesterday and aro afraid they wil.
get left if they do not buy bock at once
Thds same wheat, we believe, will be foi
sale again unless we got some exceeding
ly strong news or outside Influence tha.
will cause a continued advance, and thli
we do not look for this month. Clear
ances from the Atlantic ports are light
at 141,000 bushels of wheat and flour. Ca
bles report the foreign markets weaker.
Corn.—Prospects of large receipts and
cold weather junctions has proven e
depressing feature and the market hat
ruled dull. The cash demand was Ugh.
and prices have ruled at a lower rangq
Two hundred and twelve cars were re
ceived at this point, but thirty-nine were
contract grade.
Oats were Arm early with good buylnr
by the oatmeal trust. The buying, how
ever, was met by fairly liberal offering
from local traders, and prices at the dost
showed a slight loss to holders.
Provisions have ruled weak wlthou'
special features. Heavy receipts at the
yards proved a depressing feature. Com
mission houses were the principal sellers
