FUTURE SUPPLY

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
