Evidence of Realizing in Bonds Caused

MONEY OUTGO CONTINUES

New York, October A.-The stock market
was distinctly reactionary today in spite
of some strong spots Proft-talSing was on
a very large scale. Sales on this account
were quite well absorbed and created no
sign of demoralizing in prices. When the
fact of profit-taking became obvious some
of the room traders turned bears and sold
THE market moderately.
The bear faction was not aggressive, how
ever, and made no great inroads upon
values. The bulls were inclined to resume
their campaign for the advance, after hav
ing taken their profits and the markets
were inclined to drag during the latter
part OF THE day. Some attempt was made
to infuse strength into the market in the
last hour by bidding up Union Pacific and
Baltimore and Ohio preferred. Business in
dueed some slight covering by shorts, but
so fas as a general resumption of the adj
vance was concerned, the attempt was
abortive. Prices were very unsteady at the
close and in many cases were pursuing
downward course
The hardening tendency of money was a
discouraging factor for the bulls Most of
the days call loans were made above per
cent and the rate rose to per cent. late
in the day. The bankers generally asked 6
per cent. for time loans and We're disin-
clfned TO put out their funds for the longer
periods
Rather less money was shipped to the
intericlt today, but the outgo, while dimin-
ished, still continues. The sub-treasury is
also absorbing funds

Talbot & Palm or's stock Letter

By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
New York, October 24.-The somewhat
less favorable situation in South Africa,
together with the prospects for an early is
sue of British government bonds for the
purpose of prosecuting ho5tilites, combined
to depress the London stock market and
the local speculation appeared to take its
cue at the opening business from that lead.
Today's dealings showed Furthermore that
the short interest had been materially re-
duced in yesterdays rapid advance, and
also that profit realizing sales were in large
volume throughout the market. The local
market continued firm and the sterling e3--
change declined further. AS has heretofore
been the case the dealings in these shares
seemed to be based altogether upon the
pending establishments of the companys
capi talization. Aside from AnlconGl.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was the only stock
in which substantial pressure was evident.
but the decline in that instance appeared
to reflect little more than the shutting off of
the demand from tho short account, to
which its recent advance was most prob
ably owing. The changes in the Granger
shares and the other standard issues were
limited. but In the main were in the drec-
ton of lower prices.

noticeable falling off in the volume by
bidding for foreign contracts. and today's
aggregate business has hardly been UP to
the recent average. The tone of the market
shows no loss of strength, and in all in
stances recent advances are realized. To-
days advances in prices are confined to

New York, October 24.-Liyerpool cotton
this morning showed a decline of 3G31a
points on futures, while spots were 1-32
lower at 31-32, with spot sales of 5000
bales. January contracts here opened s
points lower, at FOB, but soon becames
steadier and the market rallied to 7.09 and;
closed at 7.0S. The port movement contin-
ues to fall off, the receipts today being only
Al 900 against 10000 for the same date last
year. Reports from Manchester and other
large cotton goods town shows a heavy
increase in demand and light receipts. We
cannot help but believe that cotton should
sell much higher Il
