NEWS OFFICE, I
Wednesday Evening, Nov. 8, 1876. |
Another advance of i to Jc. in cotton
values was recorded by the Exchange
to day in response to the general up-
ward course of prices at Liverpool,
New York and all along the line. The
large receipts appear to exert no de-
pressing influence on the market, and
the universal feeling of buoyancy sur-
prises even the most sanguine.
In wool and hides the advances re-
ported yesterday have been sustained,
but the movement has been restricted
by light receipts.
Gold has not appreciated in conse-
quence of the political revolution that
is now believed to have taken place,
and the closing rate in New York is
10!H, against 10!)2 yesterday. The ex-
tent of the decline is not material, but
it serves to indicate that the now al-
most assured change in the national
government inspires confidence abroad
as well as at home.
A further advance in silver is report-
ed at London, and fine bar is now
quoted at 54d. per once.
new yohk market for texas secu-
rities.
The circular of Messrs. Forster, Lud-
low & Co., November 1st, has the fol-
lowing:
Texas 0s of 1892 are in good demand
at reduced rates; oilers at 93 cents are
made, but bids do not exceed 90 cents,
with actual transactions at 91 cents.
Texas (is of 1877 are held at par, being
due 1st of January, 1877; the bonds
will be promptly paid when due. Texas
7s, gold, have experienced considerable
fluctuations during the mouth; the
market opened dull at 105 bid. with
sales at 100, and improved under free
purchases to 108, when it receded again
to 100 bid, at which figure it
closed. There are three issues
of Texas 7s gold bonds, which has an
ill effect on transactions, for whenever
one issue is offered in excess of de
mands, it affects the value of the other
issues not on tlio market. Texas 10s of
1884are entirely neglected; the bonds
have a redemption clause of July 1st,
1877, and as the law for their payment
has been passed, purchasers will not
pay more than 98 cents; the bonds are
offered at 103. Texas Pensions 10s
were in better demand at advancing
rates, gradually improving to 105.J
flat, which price was not maintained to-
ward the end of the month. We have
had to refuse the purchase of pension
bonds this month, which appeared to
us counterfeit; this fact we sincerely
deplore, for it makes sales not
only ditlicult but dangerous. Had
the State changed this issue into
a decently executed bond, the peo-
ple of Texas would have been benefited
by the rise, purchasers would have been
protected from counterfeits, and the
State would have improved its credit,
which is now suffering from this short-
sighted policy of so called financiers.
Texas warrants issued on the State
treasury have made their appearance
here, and are offered for sale at 85c., or
as collaterals for loans. New York
banks and bankers do not understand
this kind of obligation issued for all
kinds of purposes and in varying
amounts; for our Texas friends, we will
state that we will loan 00c. at 7 per cent.
to any amount on such warrants. The
decline in Texas municipal bonds has not
passed away, transactions have never
been smaller. Certain municipalities
begin to find out that after all honesty
is the best policy, and we trust will
profit by the lesson. Railroad bonds
have shown more activity. Houston
and Texas Central 7s. gold first Mort-
gage Main Line, after receding to 88f.
advanced to 91 bid, with a good de-
mand at this figure; the Western Divi-
sion bonds bearing same interest are
generally li to 2 cents, and the bonds
of the Waco Branch about 4 to 5 cents
lower than the Main Line bonds; the
prospects for good earnings for this road
have never been better. Railroad build
ing continues very active in Texas,
more so there than in any other State
"j.aroe receipts not an indication
of the size of the crops."
The New York Chronicle of Saturday
summarizes its weekly weather reports
by telegraph as follows:
The weather has continued generally
satisfactory for picking purposes the
past week, though interrupted by one
rainy day in some sections. Very quick
work is being made in gathering in the
staple, as the conditions this season
have all been unusually favorable to
that end. The present large receipts
are undoubtedly the result of this rapid
picking and good roads, and not an in
dication of the size of the crop.
one of tiie reasons why.
The New York Chronicle of last Sat
urday says that the buoyancy in the
Liverpool cotton market is mainly due
to the facts disclosed by the annual
cotton circular for the year ending Oc
toberlst, issued at Liverpool by Messrs.
Ellison & Co., and particulars of which
came to the News some time ago. The
circular shows that the same
causes have been at work in
Europe to increase consumption
which have operated here, and accord-
ing to their figures the invisible stocks
are much less than was generally sup-
posed. They also estimate the total
European supply for the coming year at
5,455,000 bales, and the total require-
ments of spinners (if there is no
European war) at 5,600,000 bales, or
145,000 bales in excess of the supply.
This estimate of supply is, we believe
made on the basis of an American crop
of 4,300,000 bales.

The Boston Shipping Lint says:
Leather has been quite active for
some weeks past and prices gradually
improved. Shoe manufacturers have
bought freely, but the bulk of business
comes from exporters, who find a mar
gin abroad foi all they send. This
movement has made tanners more
anxious to secure hides, on which prices
have been steadily advancing for some
time past, and there are now very few
in first hands. Boots and shoes, al
though so near the close of the season
have also stiffened up, and manufac
turers are already asking an advance of
$1 to $2 per case on heavy goods.
a short wool clip.
From the Boston Shipping Li»t:
The wool market attracts particular
attention, and its upward and active
course has been a surprise to most in
the trade. Since the 1st of July, the
sales of domestic foot up 43,296,750
Jiounds, a larger business than ever be-
ore transacted in this or any other
market in the country during the same
time. Prices are very firm, owing to
the small stock here and to eome for-
ward, and the presence of buyers here
from New York and Philadelphia with
speculative ideas makes holders indif-
ferent about selling.
COTTON.
The Liverpool spot market came in
"buoyant" this morning, at an advancc
of id. on both grades, and with sales of
25,000 bales, of which 7500 were Ameri
can and 8000 for export and speculation.
Arrivals ruled strong at 1-16 to id. ad-
vance.
The New York spot market closed
firm at |d. advance, with sales of 1536
bales.
The New Orleans market closed ac-
tive at t advance, with sale of 9000
bales. The receipts at the outports
were 34,804, against 27,681 for last
Wednesday, and 22,646 for the corre-
sponding day last season.|
The stock at all United Slates ports
is 682,909 bales, against 519,529 for the
same day last season.
In this market sales to the extent of
4090 bales were reported, which in-
cludes the transactions of yesterday,
election day. The Exchange advanced
the two lower grades j-c. and the higher
grades Jc., and bulletined the market
as closing "strong."
The large receipts at all the ports are
believed to be the result of rapid pick-
ing and a remarkably favorable season
for gathering rather than " any indica-
tion of the size of the crop."

NEW YORK WOOL CIRCULAR.
Mauger & Avery's Monthly Wool Circular
says:
The steady demand for wool, with gradual
ly advancing prices, which we have noted for
the
past three months, continued during Oc
tober. Dealers not succeeding in obtaiaing
supplies in the West, were obliged to make up
their stocks from the available assortment in
the various markets, and consequently they
have been laree purchasers, and though as a
rule, manufacturers have not operated largely,
still the sales for consumption have been or
sufficient bulk to give stamina to the market
and establish the advance in values. Fleeces
continue to be the most inquired for, but all
classes of domestic have received attention,
particularly California and Oregon, jf which
within the past week large lines have been
moved.
Fine wools of high blood continue to be
held most firmly, though medium grades,
which were neglected early in the season,
have recently sustained a marked advance,
and are firmly held. The unusually large de-
mand for delaine and combing staples has
drawn heavily upon the supply of lower
grades, and the offerings of clotning appear
less than is usual at this season.
The probable effect of " War in Europe."
which from the newspapers seemed quite im-
minent, was variously judged by members of
the trade. While all agreed that blanket and
Kersey wools would be strengthened, the
views as to influence upon fine grades were
directly opposite. Some, feeling satisfied that
Continental buyers would be deterred from
purchasing at approaching sales at London,
and that a decline would be established there
sufficient to cause a movement to this coun-
try, reasoned that we would experience a de-
cline in prices here; while others, influenced
by the feeling that the war would greatly
stimulate our exports and impart greater ac-
tivity to business generally, manifested their
confidence in a probable advance by large
purchases of woofs.
The steady consumptive demand has re-
duced the stocks of wool appreciably, and it
is a question with some whether the supply
will hold out until another clip. Yet several
of the largest and best informed manufac-
turers, whose unlimited resources would ena-
ble them to anticipate any material advance,
if such seemed probable, calmly watch the
market in expectation of a break in prices.
Our own opinion is that the position of the
market is stronger than it has been for a long
period, and that while it is possible we may
nave a spell of comparative quiet, yet the ne-
cessities ©f consumers will keep the market
