New York, September 20.?Cotton has latterly rebelled asrairst the tactics at tributes! to spot interests and others, by which at one time it was forced ; downward, assisted by the big move? ment of the crop in Texas. It is true that many of the crop reports have : been favorable, and that there is a crowing impression among many that Texas will raise a much larger crop than that of last year. Moreover, spec- , ulation has died down. Many have be come disgusted with the sudden changes in prices, due, as they think, purely to manipulation. But ?t is clear that the spot situation has improved. The spot sales in Liverpool have nota? bly increased. The demand for the actual cotton at the South is larger. Cotton is offered less freely in Liver? pool. American and forelarn spinners have not been buying at all freely for same little time past, but as their trade r.as within the last two months con- ' sicierably increased, it is argued that it is abo-cft time for them to b?e-in buy .nsr on a larger scale. And apparently they have been buy. Insr more freely during the past week, snore particularly for the past few days. They are evidently somewhat alarmed by the lateness of the season and the bullish tenor of many of the recent private crop reports. Some have ; shown a decrease !n the condition within a month of half a doren point*. >"ome think that tiie government report will put the condition at about ?5 per cent. Grave injury Is said to have been dene bv sheddinc and th* depredations of boll weevils and army worms Some alarm at one time over the low tem? peratures tn the Southwest had a ten defter to strengthen the market. The ither day a New Orleans weather ex pert predicted frost In Oklahoma It frightened some of the shorts, here. The return tig prosperity to general trade in this country and abroad is ? vpected to react favorably on the tex? tile Industries Some crop estimates have rec?r.tly been heard approximaf j intr ll.750.ooo bal?s. but most of the estimates do not ?o over ii.'tAn/ien hales, and bulls Insist that it may eas ? llv turn out to be not more than 13. .vnaaoi to !3.ifl..pn* bales.

Dun & Company s Review of Trade to-morrow will say: All the developments of the week confirm and strengthen the improve? ment in business activity. Mach week brings a higher price level in iron and steel, and the re? sumption of several merchant fur naeeg that have been idle for two peart is expected. firmness prevails is pig iron at all leading centres, with substantial advances noted in some ?iistricts. Premiums paid for prompt shipment indicate that consumes* are In urgent need of material and new business is pretty evenly distrbuted, with especial activity in Meel bars, ' plates and shapes. Dry goods houses report a steady volume of duplicate business, buyers iiispiaying confidence, but confining their operations to irequent purchases of small parcels Fall distribution of cotton goods is rauch better than last year, and indi? cations are that current values will be maintained for a considerable period. W ide print cioths are firmer I and narrow - loths steady, while a better demand Is noted for fine and fancy cottons Drills, sheetings and ilmks are very strong, and some ex? port orders are said to be Pending in the latter.
