The price on cotton is question of the
utmost Importance To SO many people that
its phenOmenally low range is attracting
more and more attention. The low rec
ord for cotton has been reached. Last
week at one time in New York the price
was 4s1 cents a pound; and the high for
the week was only so. The Southern
farmers are questioning now if this
price is not below that of production
The ratio of profit is very small. at the
best. There is no particular reason TO
expect better things in the near future.
All the indications are that the crop
will be as large as the record crop of
last year; if. indeed. it does not exceed
those tremendous figures

Southern and Louisville and Nashville
have shown fine strength for some days
past. 1t is probable that this cannot last
much longer. The cessation of the yellow
fever scare which had retarded the adj

regain their relative positions on the list.
Now. however. they will hardly do better
than the remainder Of the market If they
keep up 10 il The enormous yield of cot
ton this year will undoubtedly make busi-
ness for them, but it i to be remem-
bered also that prices now on cotton are
SO low that the south generally must

There is a general belief that the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit has acquired the Mas
sau. 1t is on this idea that the stock of
the former has been strong during the

Nassau system is undoubtedly an excel

The stock market opened above the
close of Monday and for the first hour
or more was strong and advancing. Lat
er there was q tendency /. lag and dur
ing the later hours the expectation was
strong that prices might go OFF. The re-
turns from the elections are not yet in
ultimate effect on the market. The mar
ket of today Is generally InalyZed as
showing that the Street wished TO see
Roosevelt elected and wished for a Re
publican House. II Is supposed that with
the first OF these wishes fulfilled the
Wall Street people are blinded for a time
to the large probability that the House
will be Democratic. As to the future
course Of prices in securities the cOnser-
vative view. except that or me most Op-
timistic. is that there viii be no boom
win the House. The reasons for this
are simple They have very little 10 do
with the prosperity of the country. AT
this time prices are high. They are
nearly at the record for the year, al
though that record compares very well
with any in the last ten years. Except
in the industrals. which are not controll-
ed by trade conditions to any great ex-
tent, il must certainly be said that
prices now are satisfactory. There has
been prosperous summer for
the winter can offer nothing better. The
chances are that the general average of
earnings will not be so goo:.
