MARKET REPORTS.
Cotton.

A great deal of cotton has been
picked and ginned, but the weather
has been so favorable for pickers that
the farmers will not take time To bring
it in to market. They Keep their
whole force in the field, in order to
save all they can before bad weather
sets in. Some say the crop is dam
aged considerably. in consequence of
many of the stalks being down on the
ground. causing many bolls to rot.

TREdSTRY 1CTICITY.

Secretary Sherman bought on Saturday
$6. 22,9O0 six per cent bonds at LOG. and
will probably obtain early this morning the
remainder of the S10000,000 for which he
advertised. We understand that this purchase
will be Immediately followed by others. The
Secretary can properly employ in this manner
not only the whole surplus revenue, which was
over $4,000, 600 last month, and is expected
to be as large for some months to come,
but also surplus funds now held to cover called
bonds and other forms of Indebtedness which are
not likely to be presented for payment for some
time. The stringency i'll the money markets.
and the advance in the rate of interest both
here and in Europe, make this a favorable
time to buy the bonds required for the sink
ing fund, and the price paid OH Saturday was
81 per cent lower than the market rate in July
last, though the bonds then had two years
and now have only twenty months TO run.
The Secretary would not have succeeded so
well in the negotiation if he had been lacking
in firmness, nor would he have reason TO
expect success in purchases hereafter at a
reasonable rate On Saturday, November !.

up 70 1O6l4 a @1OGl2 on Monday, and the market
has not permitted any purchases since
at "A price below 1864. The desire of the
holders TO get at least one per cent more than
they demanded when the Government was not
known as purchaser was apparently based
in part upon an idea that the Treasury would
be compelled to purchase, however high the
price asked. None OF the bonds were offered In
the bids on Saturday at less than 100 23, and all
the bids were Immediately declined. Had the
Secretary accepted them, the announcement
of another offer To purchase would have
been followed ny another upward rush of
prices. As soon as il was known that the
Secretary would not pay more than JOG.
