ket opened steady at a decline of 2
to 4 points. This was rather better
than expected on the cables and good
weather. There was a fair demand
from the covering of week-end shorts
rather than as a result of revived bull
speculation, and immediately following
the call prices ruled pretty steady,
fluctuating close to the initial lig
ures. New Orleans and Philadelphia
seemed to be selling here, while lower
Wall street and some of the profes
sional bear interests seemed to be
covering. Toward the end of the iirst
hour the m'arket was less active and
pretty steady in tone with prices at

Liverpool. During the greater part of
the short Saturday session the market
held up wonderfully well under a great
amount of selling. Late in the ses
sion, however, an immense amount of
cotton was thrown upon the ring. It
was thought tp come from a certain
prominent bull, and it had the effect
of sending prices down in rather a
sensational manner. December opened
at 9.51 c, advanced to 9.53 c, sold down

J. S. BACHE A CO.’S
Dally Cotton Letter to Hayward.
Vick A Cos.
New York, Oct. 22.—Another bull
week in the New York stock market
and prices continue to advance, not
withstanding the pessimistic opinions
of certain chronic bears, and the top
is a long ways oft yet. As we have
pointed out in our former letters all
conditions warrant advancing values,
the leaders of the murket point to the 1
high prices of 1901-2, and tell us that
this market will discount those figures.
And we see no reason to disbelieve this
statement. With easy money, enor
mous crops, high prices for all farm
products and railroads making more
money than ever before, with all the
New York banks and heads of the
trust companies in sympathy with the
market, what is there to turn prices
downwards? Of course, there will be
reactions, but only temporary and
every week the market continues to
make gains. Last week the Granger
roads headed by St. Paul led the mar
ket, this week the traction and coal
stocks had their turn. Next week look
out for the industrial and Southern
road*. Louisville and Nashville is
scheduled for much higher prices, so
is Chesapeake and Ohio and Southern
Hallway. Would advise purchase of
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Metropol
itan, as it is more than likely these
with Manhattan, will all he consoli
dated with the Interborough. This is
an era of consolidation, and the mon
ied men of Wall street are pushing it
for all they are worth. London i* a
heavy buyer of American securities,
and that alone ts a sure sign they
believe our country the most prosper
ous in the world. Buy storks at any
time or price, and you will get the
money.

expressed determination to get 10 cents
per pound. Now all eyes are turned
towards 9 cents as the barrier which
may check the universal desire to sell.
Looking over the past few weeks, it
would appear that exporters, fright
ened by the difficulty experienced in
getting cotton during September,
bought freely in the early days of Oc
tober, in fact, they must have filled
nearly ail their engagements for Octo
ber shipments from the heavy and
cheap offerings at the beginning of this
month. The present selling movement
is probably the best thing that could
have happened for all parties con
cerned. It will enable the mills to get
supplies at a reasonable figure, caus
ing them to start their spindles on
full time, and thus end the long and
serious curtailment. Shut downs and
short time are the worst enemies of
the producers, by lessening the de
mand, while mills now starting on full
time will continue to take their regu
lar consumption through the balance
of the season. The ginners' report is
to be published in bulletin about Oct.
24, probably a few counties in each
issue, or, perhaps, returns from a state
or two at a time, instead of one com
plete report, as was the ease last
year. The general belief that the
amount ginned up to Oct. 18 will be
in the neighborhood of 7,000,000, against
3,839,627 last year, and 5,925,872 two
years ago. All eyes are now' centered
ujon the developments in the interior.
Before the present selling movement
is over it is probable that all accumu
lations will have been disposed of and
the price level will be touched before
the decline halts, may be in and prove
to be the lowest of the season.
WARE A I,EI.AND
Say Hear Party 1* Strong and at
Present Have All Advantage*.
New York, Oct. 22.—N0 one outside
the ring could have any conception of
the amount of cotton that has changed
at each point decline since Mon
day morning. The cotton taken has
been in large blocks and at each ix>int
new' buying orders were executed. The
cotton is being bought for the trade.
The selling is by the spot people and
by speculators. As fast as cotton is
bought in the South, the buyer puts
out a hedge here. This will not end
until the turn comes in the movement
and the market will be under pressure
just as long as the movement is full.
The turn will come quickly when it
comes, but there seems to be nothing
in the near future to start a covering
movement. The bear party is very
strong, and for the present bears have
every help. Good weather, big re
ceipts and no speculation. Later on,
when the election is decided and
things start up again, we will have a
steadier market. For the present the
weight for actual bales is too much
for the trade. On a basis of 9*4 cents
here or 9 cents in the South, cotton
would seem to have reached a very
modest price level.

R ECORD~COTTONGROWING
IN LAURENS COUNTY.
Dublin B.tNtO Bales Abend Of Last
Year In Receipts.
Dublin. Ga., Oet. 22.—1 tis probable
that the farmers' of Laurens county
have made better crops this year than
for thirty years. Since the publication
of the report that R. T. Doinlney made
this year live bales of cotton on three
acres of ground, many reports are
coining in of good crops made. The
best report is from Mr. John IV.
Cheek of Lollie, this county, who made
this year on twenty-two acres of cot
ton thirty-three bales of cotton aver
aging 500 pounds to the bale. Upon
this ground Mr. Cheek used 400
pounds of high-grade fertilizer to the
acre.
R. H. Duggan made this year fif
teen bales of cotton on twenty acres,
and sixty-two bales on ion acres.
H. A. Adams on fifty-two acres of
land made ttfty-two bales.
James B. Tyre on a five-horse farm
planted for sixty bale*. He has al
ready ginned seventy-five bales and
i* not through picking.
C. N. A'eal made seventeen bale* on
twenty-seven acre*.
H. A. Knight made ten bale* more
than he did last year on less acres
of land.
W. H. Warren made six bales of
cotton on seven acres, and 500 bush
els of corn on forty acre*.
Ho fnr this eaon 15,595 hales of
cotton have b*en marketed in this
city against 10 369 bales of Cotton at
the same period of last year. At the
opening of the season the farmers held
their cotton, but are now showing a
derided disposition to hold for higher
prices. Not more than 50 per cent, of
the farmers are now selling their cot
ton. They believe that the price will
advnncs and are backing their Judg
ment.
The large yield of cotton and the
high price the staple Is bringing ha*
made Lauren* county more prosper
ous than at hmy previous time elnce
th* war.
