FUTURE SUPPLY MAKES ENGLISH Cotton Stands Shocks Bears Have*Tiammered Vigorous ly ? Patten Remains Bull ? Big R( ceipts Do Not Effect Confi dence of Bulls. New York, Oct. 2. ? A certain ner vousness has characterized the cotton market, but in spite of big receipts, vigorous hammering and fears of a bearish ginning report next Monday prices have not given way much so far as net results are roncern'ei. ? Liverpool's activity for one thing has been a" big factor. It has Beemed to show that European spinners are nervous about the question of-fQture supply. The bulls stick to it that the world's consumption of American cot- ' Inn tliltt ypnr Is llVrlj- tn nrrnnd 17. ODO.OOO bales. Liverpool's spot sales from day to day baye been 12,000 to 15,000 hales a . day. though on Fri day there was a sudden falling off after a long period of brisk buying. J-Tbe stock at Now Tork is steadily de er ea 8 1 ng. It is t he smallest for years _ past. Big spot Interests have been steadily buying. James A. Patton -remains a bull. He sent a' sharp denial of a rumor, extensively circulated last Wednes day, that he had sold out. ; The Brown-Hayne . Interests aTf still supposed to be bullish. -Some New Orleans and Memphia operators arr-tnrdersiood to nave lakeir prAHtB, but to be bulls still for a long pull. Manchester has sent very cheerful re ports and In this country things are gradually improving Itis remarked -tiiat hammering has produced only a temporary off art. As noon as this ceases the friends of the market as sert that it advances naturally and", easily. Rumors have' been rife that considerable of the local stock has been sold to European spinners. Last Monday 5,000 bales were confirmed, supposed to have been taken by Liv erpool ppople no "where, A. J. Bus on the situation. Certain large to bacco interests are sunnnsnd tn - similar opinions. On the other hantj. there ban been some determined op-# position to a rise. A pool formed of two or three, targe operators 1b said to be working for lower prices on the ground that., with the present large receipts and American spinners hold ing aloof, it is useless to expect a sustained advance at this lime of the year. ?U?dg4* -s*4Jing? by t-he ? South continues and is bound to continue for some time to co trie. Bears think | that it is at least significant the re- - , ceipts at the ports should be so large. ? They think this fact means one of the- planter that he wfH? contimie .sell, freely as. long as they exist, or else the crop has been underestimat ed. Popular sentiment, however, sttil favors the bull side of the idea that the. crop is less than 11.000,000 bales and that the consumption will be the largest ever known Various crop reports just issued by newspapers and private statisticians put the condition at 59.5 per cent to '? 2 .
