New Orleans, Oct. 17.—The cotton mar ket* yesterday In the face of most depress ing outside Influences showed more resist ance than for a long time. The Jump In the near positions, which are more depend- ent- on actual cotton for price Justification than the distant options, reveals the un spoken tribute paid by hear operators to the staunchness of snot-holders In the fiouth. There Is lots of secret buying go ing on, and If slgna aro not deceiving, some bears are wavering. Of coarse, we all hear of the quick break being engineered and Intended In the leading markets to force spot ladder* to give up. but will this break 6e carried out? Iteeent frosts have done considerable damage and crop views are being modified. Twelve million mnxi mum Is spoken of by conservative men on both sides of the trade. The lighter weight of the hales Is also attracting atte^lon. For the month of Heptember, twites averaged 529 &4-1M. against 527 75-100 last year, or 1% per rent less. Occtiring so early In.the season, this should l>c a reliable Indication of disappointing out-turn In yield. Hlgnlfl cant Information was received today from a financial center In Georgia, which said- hanks are easier and spot people not na ready sellers as In tlio past. Liverpool wss a boat as expected aud steady. Spot sales large; total 10.000. Onr market open ed lower, but turned round sharply as soon ns New York showed signs of steadiness. Any change In New York or news of a anllt in bear ranks would have a marked effect abroad, roncentrnted ap|nuers a . buy ing would undoubtedly follow. Unfavora ble weather conditions also hnlped the mar ket. Extensive rains fell In the western states. Wet wenther Is Indicated for the next forty-eight hoars. A severe cold wave Is annrnnchlng from the northwest, and should strike the northwestern aud north central belt by Monday. The market con tinued quiet following New York In all changes, which were mostly small, and around 10.97 for January as a basis. yew York. Oct. 17.-1. H. (Inch. A Co.: The mixed sentiment In the whole cotton situation waa expressed In this morning’s Irregular range of nrlcea. The December deal hampers the sising no of the actual K it Ion of cotton and renders It more or » difficult for the trader aud spinner to hedge ngainst their commitments In the. artiutl stuff.
