After ruling In the main mulcr the edicts
of tho bear the cotton market yestcrdny
smoothed Its wrinkled front In the latter
hours of the session nml capered more
nimbly to the bullish lute Hesitation
marked the early speculation brought nbout

waiting for the visitation of frost and tho
lack of nn Investment inclination toward
the fleecy staple The reign was Interrupt-
ed hy tho bureaus weekly document which
lint Rave evidence of n continued deteriora-
tion that the government pronounced last
week Tho scalo turned stronger and pro
cocded afterward to n higher mark The
distant spinner got back to his old gamo
and the takings seemed conllncd to last
weeks purchases Tho exports were larger
and tho receipts came close to last ycarn
figures The weather gavo a moderate out-
look and the bear had more than usual
comfort The hammer cluli hud a busy
day
Imglands center of trade added a weaker
shade to the previous decline than was al-
lowed for hut the current was stemmed
und tho bull had new evidence to Introduce
In his cause Information came from New
1ork that the long Interest was about Hold-
out and the market Is now short Crop
news that came into New Orleans was of
the serious kind telling of Inter develop-
ments of disaster The trouble of the
trade was shorn of much of Us fear for
the bull as tho financial depression and
not the needs of the consumption causes
the manufacturer to linger Under these
surroundings tho higher price advocate
found a way to ascend and toward tho
close was well In control Spots maintained
the Bame standing and good offerings were
made In the Interior with sales at a meager
figure
Liverpool offered much room for Improve-
ment Sales on the spot amounted to 15
000 bales at nuotatlons 1lrtd lower De-
liveries on the last call declined and fi01
New York opened I and 5 points lower
than the previous clone The range dropped

sion then rested on tun level of the Orst

made at the windup In the net result nil
options scored n gain of 5 points except
March and April on which tho advance
was 1 points
New Orleans begnn 1 to a points lower
mid Immediately gained The fccale Im-
proved slowly and at tho midday call an
Advance of 7 to 0 points had been made
In the afternoon the course was steadily
upward extending to the closo In the net
result all positions went 11 points higher
except April on which the advance was

Now York October 8 The cotton market
for futures was steady but down It to 5
points In sympathy with the weakness
abroad After the call good weather re-
ports and liquidation by the larger bulls
forced prices to a level of I to 7 points
under last nights bids The South and
rtirope sold here commission houses had
few ordrs to execute other than thoso for
liquidation ltecclpts were larger than ex-
pected though still smaller than for the
snme days last year The early weather
reports Indicated milder conditions with
clear skies pretty much over all the cotton
belt Noon found the market In n dull heavy
tttato with a crowd looking for a generally
favorable weakening government report
Hut contrary to expectations the latter
was extremely bullish Close upon tho bu-
reau report came small estlmntes for re
feints and liberal buying orders from New
Orleans litnunry led In u rise of 8 to 0
points on feverish buying to cover shorts
unit supnorl from some of the more coiitl
ilent bulls but late In the afternoon ab-
sence of public buying caused prices to
settle a few points and there was little on
which to base a prediction for a strong
close

the situation again overcame the specula-

The sflgns of an oversold condition of tho
EniTket was balanced against tho persisting
doubts nnd dvoad that tho money market
resources nre not sufficient to save tho
situation for Uio remaining period of In-
terior demands for currency Hack of this
lies an apprehension In some quarters that
Xibc present reactionary tendency of ihe

HOUSTON WHOLESALE MARKET
LOCAL TRADE IS ACTIVE
BUSINESS IS INCREASING
Meat Ud 5 Points Leaf Lard Declined
18c The Canned Goods Situation
Notes of Interest
The market locally presents nn excellent
condition A glimpse nt the activity In all
lines shows that the benefits of Houstons
rates with the capacity to supply and the
treatment accorded buyers Is dally Increas-
ing Houstons popularity as u purchasing
center Dealers have their hands full to
till the mjpldly arriving orders nnd new
customers are heard from every day In ter-
ritory not hitherto penetrated Stocks on
nearly all commodities arc now nbout nor-
mal and the trade has anticipated heavy
demands nnd prepared to meet them No
famine Is known to exist ou any staple
fruit or produce nrtlclc aud no demoraliz-
ing surpluses arc on hand
Meats advanced 5 points
Grain and hay prices remained the same
Leaf lard declined Uc compound held
firm
Some nice California Hello Flour apples
are In Hie trade
ltecclpts of poultry continue meager nnd
dnilcrs say a good demand Is open for ship-
ments
The firmness In the org market Is dis-
tinctly noticeable and prices are likely
to advance
The worlds visible supply of raw sugar
Is 010000 tons against 000000 tons last
week and ollOooO tons last year
Several consignments of cabbage were
received yesterday Tho cooler weather
belter preserved the condition and sales
wero active
Advices from tho East regarding Unseed
oil said the scarcity wits so extensive that
orders could not be filled according to prom-
ise and shipments may not be made for
several weeks
A special from Uangor Me to tne New
York Commercial says The sardine peek-
ing season now drawing to a close on the
eastern coast of Maine has been one or
the most successful In the history of the
Industry the catch of herrings having been
very large and all the factories operated
to their full capacity The only drawback
lias been the lilsh price of tin plate vast
quantities of which ure used In the manu
facture of the liBtlo boxes in which the
Eumport supplies tho bnlk of the sardine
trade of the United States and the extent
of tho business may be estimated from tlio
fnrt that Inst season sioo000 was paid In
trrlgiu charges on shipments to various
parts of the country from this port nlonc
An exchange says Heports from the
vnrlous producing sections of the United
States show that this seasons yield on
tioney Is larger thnn for ovurnl ycarj
Prices as n consequence are lower particu-
larly for extracted honey nnd the market
in New York and clsowhere In thf Last
Bias opened with nn active demand Inn
quality of this years product Is pronounced
by experts to be above the average
Washington October 8 Special Becro
tar of Agriculture WINon after careful
consideration of the reports and estimates
of leading beet sugar producers todny es
llnrated the beet sugar production for 1001
ut 10SMX tons Tho cane sugar production
Is estimated ns follows Southern Stales

Thos J Median Co of Haltlmoro have
the following on canned goods
Again tomatoes nearly monopolized the
trading in the canned goods market here
during the past week As we pointed out
In our last market letter It Is more n
question of getting the goods of satis-
factory quality rather than of prices and
that will be the dominating lnllucmc next
week The Kliortage In the pack all over
the country Is developing In n way that Is
surprising The heavy buying by puckers
who arc short on thrlr contracts and by
Jobbers who have received notice from the
puckers that 1hcy can not till more thau
no per cent to Go per cent of their sales
will cnutiuur Jtntll the business Is adjusted
by deliveries or settlements and In the
mcnntlme the tendency of prices will bo
upward
Frosts throughout this section have badly
damaged what little there is left of the to-
mato crop nnd the price per bushel has ad-
vanced to 02e today against Oo during
tho short glut three weeks ugo It certain-
ly looks like there can be but the one di-
rection for the price to go
We again direct your attention to
peaches The packing season is over and
an oplnjon can now lie formed upon the
results Iurchascs made now of any grade
or quality especially pie pearlies will cer-
tainly not make n loss and miy show good
profits very shortly
Corn The market Is firm and the de-
mand has lucieased past week
Plncnppesaltiithcr n light demand
recently but prices continue very firm
Peas Strictly fancy quality peas of ail
grades are getting scarce We recommend
prompt purchase of siny grade wanted now
or next wliitcr
HOUSTON WHOLESALE PRICES
A comparison of these quotations shows
ninny advantages lu favor of Houston ns a
wholesale market When the buyer con-
siders the benelltd to be derived from
IloustonH freight rates he will find that
even when the quotable figures nt other
markets are lower the price finally paid
Is generally grentcr The prices arc thoso
ruling among Houston wholesale merchants
and are revised dally
