Provisions—The market is irregular,
the principal strength being in October
ribs. The buying was by the same
local packing interests that have sup-
ported the price of ribs for many
months. Apart from the aid the
market receives from this source, the
feeling is heavy, and prices naturally
tend to drag. Receipts of hogs were
liberal, and distributive demand un-
satisfactory.

New York, Oct. 1.—Spot Rio firm;
there be 1,029,016 acres more in cotton
this year than last, 120.105 of which
has been credited to Texas, the crop
being so late in maturing and so sub-
jet do serious damage, even by a frost
of an average date. Nevertheless, the
impression prevails that the market
will be sold on a condition better than
68. Much is being made of an article
appearing in this morning’s paper stat-
ing shat it is the opinion of otihials of
the agricultural department at Wash-
ington that their report for September
will be issued October 3d will cause a
drop in the price of cotton, the infer-
ence being that the report will be bet-

New York, Oct. i—The following
are the

hipulatton. But ths effect seem-
be for some reason more cheert
pon seniiment than the rather
e lifting of prices on Tuesda
may have ben some buying for
t in today's market also, but
■eat banking interests were not
spicuous in the deall 48. On the
hand an over extended short in-
was a very important factor in
prices. The opening dip in
Pennsylvania and in New York Cen-
iral was attributed to bearish man!pu:
; iation. Loulsvine seemed to autter
from the liquidation of an account and
pressure upon that stock appeared
, from time to tine during ths day.
While the demand for stocks seemed
to come largely from the short inter-
est as indicated by the large growing
demand in the lean crowd last night.
