the news Of the day that could be counted
more favora BILE than that of the precej-
ing day or two and a sharp stiffening in
the rates for call money during the af-
ternoon might be called a distinctly I'M
favorable factor. But it had no effect
in preventing the recovery and the close
at practically the highest point of the
day. Either this was because the five
per cent rate which was asked was con-
sidered artificial and manipulative or
because confidence was felt that it would
result in the prompt importation of gold
to relieve any probable stringency.
further lowering of IA cent in the actual
rate for demand sterling to 4S49s encour-
aged this view and the probability of ear
ly engagement of gold for import was
freely talked all day. The market was
surprisingly irregular. In the early trad
ing the raid of the bears on special
stocks in each group was successful in
depressing the particular group and the
whole list by sympathy.
Soon afterwards sustained buying on
a large scale became evident and
heavy covering movement by the bears
followed.
Buying orders by the commission
houses also had added to the strength
had sold short joining in the covering
movement. There was marked change
in the whole tone of the speculation, the
market becoming dull when ever the
bears succeeded in checking the advance
and business showing lively increase
whenever the course of prices turned up
ward. The railroad earnings reported
during the day continued to show in
creases, Northern Pacific reporting an
increase for the third week in Septem-
Der Of $1SS, 757. l.. and n, net increase
for August was $133, 749. A striking
result of the recent sharp decline in the
price of silver was shown in the August
statement of Mexican Central. While
the gross earnings showed an increase
of $166,338, the net earnings showed
decrease of $135,47S. This was due, the
officials explain, to increased expenses
caused by the higher rates of exchange
ON the United States in the purchase
of material and in other outlay. London
was a buyer in this market again to-
day. Some of the stocks which showed
weakness early in the day failed to re-
cover entirely but net gains as a rule
ranged from a fraction to 2 per cent or
over.

Cotton Almost Unchanged.

New York, Oct. 1.-The cotton market
opened quiet with prices one point high
er to one point lower. There was no
trading in October contracts on the call
which developed considerable weakness
as il proceeded on reports that offerings
of epot cotton from the South were
very heavy and that urgent inquiries for
bids were submitted to New England
spinners without resulting in business. 1t
was also reported that the quarantine
had been raised at Houston and Gal
weston. This added to the prevailing in
disposition to buy cotton, the theory he
ing that considerable cotton had been
held In check by the yellow fever EN-.
barge. Gables were unfavorable.
Following the first call the market was
slow and quite featureless with narrow
changes. At noon the market showed
a net loss of 1@2 points. The market
rallied somewhat later on covering in en-
ticipation of an unfavorable bureau re-
port. The trading in the afternoon was
light and early buyers which created an
easier feeling in the market and caus-
ed recession from the top prices. The
close was steady at net unchanged to a
decline OF point.
DRY GOODS.
New York Oct. 1.-The dry goods mar
ket opens the month under conditions
which, if not entirely satisfactory, are
still not without promise. The past
month has shown poor results, especial
ly during the last twenty days. But sell
ers believe that with the steady distri-
button reported at second hands and in
retail stores, the demand on recorder
will no heavy and priceS will he sustain
ed. The discouraging factor in the situa-
ton for cotton goods is the decline in
price of the staple. The effect on buy
ers is to strengthen their position just
at present. Wooden goods in all divi-
sions are strong, with prospects of bet
ter prices, when the recorder business
is well under way. In staple cottons
there is no change of importance. Print
cloths are quiet. Sales at Providence at
2 9-16 cents are reported. Odd goods
are sold quietly in small lots at general
~ weak prices.
