WARE & LELAND’SflDAILY STOCK LETTER New York, Oct. 25.-The stock market opened generally heavy nml lower. Traders were bearish and were Inclined to sell stocks on the theory that/they had failed to advance on pood nevts like the in creased Norfolk dividend and might cbnse- qnentlv expect them to work lower. The old dividend rumors have been revived about lirooklyu Itapld Transit. Around midday the markot was dull and feature less. whk a light and diminishing volume of business. Traders were scnlplug smell turns, and some of the usually most tiro traders were not on the floor at isnetlon* were small. The Gatea pi — active In the campaign agnlnst uu Ktatea Steel.

Let us take a fair vlow of tho matter, however. We all kuow what the report up to September 25 wns. We know that It wns 312.060 bales liehlnd that of last year. At the same time, we know that this crop Is very late. What- { rer Influence the Inst report had wns felt s noon as It was received. The question .la, Uoes the ginning promise a large ... a airnffl crop? It has not been a pe riod of pnrtlcufnrly favorable weather for rapid ginning oinslde of Texas, ami the erap Itt BtlII Just as much Inter than fast year as It ever was. Last year glnulng was very henry during this period,- and 2,635,000 bales were ginned. If there has I wen that much ginned during the same time this year, with n crop so much later, It would not, to my mind, be a l>nd show ing. This would make a total for Tliurs _ . Jat than was ginned durlni , In splto of t the last twent; ‘ « the he late crop, and the same time ginned than v.... Inst year, __ __ .... .. •low glnnlng-ontslrie of Texas—lt oeems to me that the showing grill be henrlth; If during the last tweuty days we have gin ned less than 2,636.000 bales, the report will Iw bullish. To expect to catch up the 312,- 000 bales the last report waa behind In twenty days of actual glnnlbg would, of course, be manifestly aboard. —New York Commercial. » R^NGE OF NEW YORK STOCKS AND COTTON MARKETS NANUS OF STOCK. * Amnlanraated Copper .».
