The cold weather In the South, buying by spot houses and covering by the room, all helped to offset the large arrivals at the ports.

"Mr. Ellison, of Liverpool, estimates tho present season's. requirements of American cotton at 12,154,000 holes. Mr. Iluston. of the same place, estimates tho American cotton cron at 13,000,000 hales, minimum, and possibly a great deal more provided the ensuing several weeks are favorable to picking and maturing of late planted cotton. If these two estimates are accepted na final and the carry-over from laat season Is add ed to the apparent surplus of production, there. seems -to be - small cause for -worry on the score of * bales • needed and bales available. But there Is no doubt a strong tendency to regard consumption as under estimated and likewise a strong tendency to regard production ns overestimated as per the foregoing postulates, but In the absence of guesses from equally well posted theo rists the logical thing la to accept, these gratuitous figures."

GIBE.RT A CLAY’S Daily cotton letter New Orleans, Oct. 30.—Early cables at tributed the general buying In Liverpool to Egyptian Interests, which*hitherto has Iwen largely short, and the removal of this fea ture of strength. If *nhything, detracts from the probability of further advances. Op tions closed 0 points higher, while spot sales aggregated 7,000 bales at nu advance of 8 points In quotations. The unexpected ndvnnce of options abroad caused considerable nervousness among the aborts, which, concern was somewhat aug mented by the fear of further unfavorable weather, and caused an advance in opening prices. Improvements such aa have ourred today are no more than logical v an accumulated short Interest haa been built up. but the narrowness of present af fairs Is dearly manifest In the absence of outside speculation.- • lu spite of the steadiness of futures, tho holders of spot cotton appear to be wllllnj to sell nt board prices, and the lack o general demand for cotton In Liverpool la said to have caused requests to exporters to deter their, shipments. The situation nt tho moment la unchanged in so far ns affecting the large crop esti mates are concerned, and even though there may In* occasions when Improvements are Justified, they are viewed by the majority as merely temporary and aa affording « more profitable basis for sales. • New York. Oct. 3).—Very little Interest was taken In the market today, and the ad vnnee In Pennsymtnm *of yesterday wns partially lost Uuriug the early afternoon trading. Homo casual support was glveu to Union Pacific, but the situation was devoid of feature to a greater extent thnn nt any time In the recent past. Anticipations con cerning the Pennsylvania dividend to Iks de cided Thursday and tho meetlug of the Steel directors this afternoon were about all the topics under discussion. There was some talk of moiiey stringency In Ixsndon nud expectations of further shlpim-uts, of gold to Egypt, but the London market'' Americans wss better and their opera were reported buyers about lO.OOo shares on balance In New York, The situation presents features of/a preelection market, with opinions more equally divided ai the possible mult, L.

A. MITCHELL, Temporarily in Charge. Dlst. Averages. m m New York, Oct. 30.—Today’s deal. Ings were noteworthy for one thing only, and that was a further shrink age In thetr volume. So far an any tendency was dtscernable at all It was In the direction of lower prices, but net changes at the end of the forenoon were too trifling to be of any moment. AH that the day’s trading signified waa an Increasing reluctance among all ,°L, atock exchange operators to J t .J 1 “. the,r commitments In the fate of the Impending election, with the an. companylng uncertainty of money con ditions. The market, what there was 2: w , a ?. ewayed by the action of Steel and Pennsylvania—the two stocks which. In view of the action .on their dividends, were naturally the center of specutatlve Interests. In the case of Steel, the selling was both heavy and insistent, and was conducted in such a way as to indicate that small hones were entertained that the directors thlB afternoon would authorize any ad vance In the dividend rate The sell ing of Pennsylvania, which was equal ly persistent, threw like doubt upon the probability of any change being made In dividends at Thursday's meet ing. The Incidents altogether served to sap what little strength remained in the market. New York.
