Even this favors much higher prices and selling continues on all good bulges and rebuying on breaks. Crop estimates have been reduced almost daily, still big ham ders of stuff profess in 100000 after all.

INDIFFERENT TO
 FOREIGN MARKET The War Scare Does Not Af-
 feet Stocks.
 PRICES DIPPED SLIGHTLY
There is Growth of Confidence That the Stringent Period for Money is Over-Demand from the h.
 terior Continues Large

New York, October 1.-The stock market continued to show marked indifference to the disturbance in foreign markets on ac- count of the war scare and of money diifl- cultes as well as the continued stiffness of the local money rate. Prices dipped at the opening on the rumor of an invasion of Natal by the Boers forces and on the further advance in the Bank of England's official rate of discount. The opening pri- ces were for the most part the lowest, and the market quite promptly set about re- trieving its decline. The liquidation for London account was comparatively small in volume, sales not exceeding 15,O00 shares. In fact, the foreign stock markets seemed to take no very serious account of affairs and even the Kaffir Mining stocks which would be most vitally affected by the war, were quite firm. The market for call money in New York showed further relief from the extreme strngency. Today's maxi mum rate was F per cent, and 1t fell be- fore the close below the legal rate. The undertone of the market for stocks was very firm. This was not due to any large demand in the case of stocks which moved quite widely but rather to the bidding up of prices by those interested in seeing a higher figure for their holdings. This bid ding up process, however, failed to bring out large offerings, which fact was signih- cant of the markets firmness. Another large number of stocks not usually dealt in were brought into activity. Later fea- lures are always indicative of the presence of the bargain hunter who is buying stocks outright to hold investment on &C., count of buyers who do not depend on the money market for borrowed funds
 There is undoubtedly growth of conf- dence that the stringent period for money is over. The demand from the interior funds continues large and may encroach on the reserve of interior banks loaned on call in New York The rising discount rates in London caused an additional ad- vance in the rate for sterling exchange here in Paris and in Berlin and the weak return of the Bank of France discouraged the idea that either London or New York can hope for large relief from that center. The bond market was dull in sympathy with stocks. Total sales par value. $1,215,- 900. United States 2's declined F; new As and 3s and 5's b in the bid price.

By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York, October 5.-Stock prices today were again determined rather more by the predictions and by the resources of local operation than by any new developments in outside conditions. There was. to be sure as concerns the market, rather easier tone. The bulk of the borrowing was effected well under the average of yesterdays money rates, and indeed todays average was probably little more than two- thirds of that of yesterday, chiefly because the early cable advices showed a sharp depression in the American market in Lon don. In the surface, the South African slt- uation appears to be rather more threaten- ing, but despite definite and authentic in formation in this respect was wanting Consols, too, were shade higher than yes terday and later adyices from London re- ported a general recovery in all divisions of the markets there. Probably a more ma terial influence in the early weakness in London than the South African situation was the extreme action of the Bank eff England advancing rates to per cent dis count money. London sales of stocks to- day footed up balance about 15,000 shares This circums tance and the comparative ease in money together with the advance in London discount caused a somewhat firmer market for sterling exchange. The market closed with the standard issues making the best showing for the day.

 The advance in the bank rate to per cent. caused little surprise on the stock ex- change here today owing to the high rate yesterday. Bank of England returns show that the reserve has been reduced 900 pounds pulling down the ratio of the re- eerye liabilities to 9M per cent. That WAS due partly to the demand for money at the turn of the quarter year but 250,00O pounds worth of gold Is expected to be sent to the Cape tomorrow.

The Morning Advance of Five to Eight Points Was Supplen1entedatNo at Noona by an Additional Rise of
 Four to Six Points .i

New York, October 5.-Offerings of cot ton were early snapped up by nervous shorts around the opening at the cotton exchange today, and before sufficient cot ton could be found to meet the demands of investors of the foreign element and the south prices had advanced SOS points. By midday this improvement had been supple mented by an additional rise of 46D6 points, with the market at that time showing re- narlxable strength. Though there were in- tervals of profit-taking, causing an occa- sional setback in prices, the late market showed plenty of bullish spirit. English cables showed great strength, with Liver pool futures to 6la higher and spot co+- ton active and hardening.
 The cotton belt supplied bad weather news, reports for still higher prices for spot cotton and receipts in such volume as to bear out smaller crop estimates. Private wires declared that the crop was showing up less favorably as the season progressed.
 The government charts record heavy rains in portions of the Atlantic states and falling temperature west of the Mississippi valley. In the central gulf severe storms were said to be in full sway, leading to fears of more or less damage to cotton still in the field The bulk of the cotton re- ported sold today was down to the account of mill buyers.
