also was rather weaker than has been
the case up to this time, rejecting the
high prevailing rates for money.
The situation in the local money mar

ing made as high as 10 per cent and as
low as per cent. The majority OF loans
were made at from s per cent to 10
per cent. Predictions were heard that
money was to be easier this week, but
no evidence was forthcoming to corrobo-
rate the prediction. Gold shipped from
Europe is now in New York vaults and
no more is to be expected for the pres
ent from that source.
1t was reported that the Treasury De-
partment had decided to anticipate the
November first payment of interest, as
was done last year,. but no announce
ment of such a decision came from

The detailed statement of New York
banks on Saturday showed that consid-
erably more than half of The members
of the clearing house are still below

in Canada are reported to be placing

a more cheerful view of the outlook
today, and the open market discount

New York, October 9.-The cotton

showed a gain of to 10 points, this
near the opening; but later became
weak easing off to considerably below
the final figures of Saturday. Much fir
mer cables than had been looked for
sent local shorts into spasm of fright
and courted very active investment buy
ing at the start. Initial sales showed
rise of to 10 points which was well
Confident bulls snapped up the offerings
on the idea that current prices were still
too low considering legitimate infiu-
ences. But as the morning wore along
it became evident that there were more
sellers than buyers and prices gradually
melted away under steadily growing Ii
quidation. Contributing influences to
the desire to reduce commitments were
estimates for enlarged receipts. For the
rest of the day the general trend of
prices was downward, though consistent
buying on the decline prevented any
scramble to unload. The later cables
from Liverpool proved as distinctly
against the market as earlier advices
favored it. Some of the large Wall
Street commission houses were free sell
ers on the reaction. The market closed
steady with prices to points net
