Further Impc taut news to hand this morning was the r. port hy the Journal of Commerce, which makes'thr condition of the cron on Heptom her 25 66.5, a decline of 7.4_nnlnt* from the condition on August 25. Tho heavy dete rlorntlou given for the Atlantic states was a surprise to many and made a decidedly bullish Impression. All this fmlllMh Information notwithstand ing. New York opened lower and our mar ket had to follow. Long before business started hero there were advice* and prop!] ecle* from the North that the marke would l»e sold ou all hard spots aud that a S urther break will be made In cotton on tin* nnncinl situations.

There being a short Interest In tho mar ket. covering orders at tho decline were rather large mid caused a rally of 12 points from the lowest. Hellers became scares at the decline and the market Is quite steady nt the moment. Unless Imar pressure comes from abroad covering Is likely to cause fur ther reaction. The action of spot holders under present condition* In very Important —In fact, therein lies the only solvation from optMisIng forces. New York, Oct. 2.-J. 8. Bnctxe & Co.: A heavy decline In cotton occurred after the opening, following the glnuiug report. The feeling wn* nervous and there was some apprehension that some large line* would lx* put on the mnrket If the condition fig ure* were nt all fnvoralde. The figures of the total cotton ginned was not complete. Owing to the lack of Information from many districts. The actual figures were considered l»enrlsh. When the government Announced the condition of the crop up to September 25 ss 67.7 per cent there oc cur redvery heavy selling by the big trad ers. This brought n lot of outside selling, forcing December down ro 10.76. January 10.85 and March to 10.96, nftcr which came a sharp rally on short covering. The future outlook for cotton price* «>ein* to us to fa vor the bear side. The glnners' report shows the crop Is moving In large volume and there does not appear to lie shy Imme diate danger from frosts. Under the cir cumstances we think cotton a sale ou ral lies.
