At some points along the coast there has been more rain than of late, but quite generally dry weather has prevailed. Killing frosts occurred in Arkansas on Sunday last. The gathering of the crop has made very satisfactory progress, and marketing has continued on a liberal scale.

Cotton Letter It seems as though Liverpool was very steady just when Ave are weak and then Liverpool declines when the local market rallies. Very hard to find the right guiding star under such con ditions as these. The rise just before the .close last night did not disturb Liverpool in the least. This may have been the result of concerted effort here. We are inclined to think American selling had something to do with it. But traders were disappointed and January worked back to 9.65. There was very little trade in the local mar ket and prices ruled within a few points of the opening. The price this morning has . been touched every month since last June. If you will go back over the record of prices since about June 15th you will find that January cotton has sold around 9.75 every month save during the sharp rise in early September. This shows how much speculation there is in cot ton and how much actual business has been done within limits of half a cent. Everything now depends upon the gov ernment report on December 3rd. In case the report is over 11,000,000 bales we will not have much of a rise. But it is an open question whether the government will put the crop over 10,- 900,000 bales. The Washington people have never given a crop estimate of over 10,'400,000 bales even In big crop years. They may not give over 11,CC0. 000 bales this year. It will point the way for the rest of the season. Stock Letter The stock market was dull today, due in the first place to the weakness that was displayed yesterday afternoon, which made both the traders and the. public timid about new conmmitments over Sunday, and a great many traders were absent on account of the foot ball game. The undertone was strong and Indications are" that we will have not much if any further declines. It seems strange that the public should become uneasy on a decline of, one per cent, after each enormous advance. We think it would be desirable to have prices a little lower, and it would in vite new interest in the market and would help what we predict higher prices. The low prices usually favor Southern Railway, Rock Island and Erie. Pacific stocks are destined to sell higher and we are told that Union Pacific will sell at 120 next week. In dustrials will continue in favor, and we think the general business condi tions favor higher prices for these specialties. The bank statement today was a good one, in fact, much better than anticipated. WARE & LELAND.
