New York Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Nov. 4.—The cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of 4 points
to an advance of 1 point, the declines be
ing due to lower cables than expected and
liquidation, while as the call progressed
and Immediately after its completion it
became evident that there were some
pretty good buying orders. This demand
rallied the mnrket shortly after the open
ing and January sold up to 10.03 or 3
points above the best price of the previ
ous day, while the general list showed net
gains of from 4 to 6 points. Blit the
buying closed out at this level. t tho flat
turned easier and during the bain nee of
the session showed n declining tendency
with trading, which at first, had been act
ive. comparatively quiet.
The close was steady, though prices
were at practically ths lowest of the ses
sion or a net decline of 12al4 points.
Sales were estimated at 200.000 bales.
The large into sight figures for the
week seemed to operate against the
mnrket somewhat, while the forecast
calling for clearer weather over the belt
in place of recent rains also had a ten
dency to curtail speculation Most of the
selling during flic early session was
thought to come from Wall street sources.
Later In the session New Orleans ap
peared to he selling here.

NEW YORK STOCK LETTER.
NEW YORK. Nov. 4.—There was some
very large professional operations in
stocka today which were nttriouted to
speculative pools and sharp price ad
vances resulted from these. Tho Indrs-
trtals absorbed much of the attention
' the traders and were generally strong.
Tho railroads wore decidedly In tho
back ground. One nr two points of
strength appeared amongst them, but tho
railroad stocka generally wore Inclined to
sag. The subduing Influences of the com
ing election was plainly discernible In the
dlslnellnailon to make commitments on
ae scale lately customary. The rnuse In
.he advance Inevitably brought about
some realising In the railroads, but It wns
not urgent.
The nvgresslvo strength of the United
States Steel stocks formed a hr‘ad Un
derlying support for the whole market.
The comparative firmness of the Southern
reflroad groun was due to the n»»enMon
given to an estimate of a bumper o op
of corton by *n unrvriai mu *mr» * 1
money market contl -ucd very t anqu'I.
notwithstanding the heavy loss In olish
by reatton of the gold exports. Profit-
taking on tho day’s rise made the closing
rather easy with only the United Statr -
flteel stocks at the best prices.
Bond were Irregular. Total, sales, par
value. $6.R33.aoO. United Slntes bonds
were unchanged on call.
Tho total sales of stocks today were

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Thc-e has been
considerable change In both prlcrH
sentiment at the cotton exchange „
week. It would be difficult to assign t
Improvement to any ono cause, as many
of the factors have changed for the bet
ter and sentiment, has responded to the
f enernl Improvement. The report from
nil River that everything Indicated i
resumption of business there on Novem
ber 9, reports of an active, as well ns an
Improved business In Manchester and
Lancashire, the near approach of the set
tlement of tho political question In this
country for the next four years, and es
timates from rellablo sources of a more
moilernto cotton crop than ha* been
talked of recently, nil operated In fnvo?
of prices. Thus far tho Improvement has
not been extensive. December this morn
ing sold at 9.93. on advance of nhout 80
points for the week. The advance In the
mnrket furnishes very little evldeneo of
the actual change that seems to us to
have taken place in cotton circles gen
erally.
The ginnern’ report giving the total
quantity of cotton ginned up to October
18. as 6,417.000 bales, wan the first real
setback the bear cause has had In tho
last two months.
In attempting to Justify 12,000,000 bales
crop Ideas, the operators hsve all along
talked of 7.000,OOfl bales being shown In
the glnners’ report. They overreached
themselves. As compared with two years
ago when there was practically no In
centive to rush cotton through the gins,
something over 6,900.000 bales was ginned
on tho corresponding date. If we alter
for the heavy rains .during the entire
month of September and October that
year and compare with those conditions
the absolutely perfect conditions for pick
Ing, moving and ginning ths cron prevail
!ng this year, there la nothing In the re
port to Indicate a crop of over 11.000,000
bales. We have, however, Insisted all
along thnt the report simply Indicates
the ginning rapacity of the South.
Nothing more. Following the election
four yenrs ago. there waa an advance *
cotton from 334 to 10 cents a pound. ..
would seem as though with the enormous
exports, with comparatively reasonable
prices now prevnlllng with tho Improved
dry goods market now reported and the
boom In Iron snd stesl as well as copper
and other metals, with all the probability
of nn Immediate falling off In the move
ment of the crop nnd the more settled
feeling that Is hound to prevail after No.
vember 8th. we say it would seem n-
though buytrtg cotton for a futurn ad
vance in prices wan rather a safe business
proposition. Nothing hut an excess in
production can bring about lower prices,
and there are ns yet no evidences of
record crop this season.
