ADvIcEs WE'RE NEUTRAL.
But Cotton Opened About Points
Above Tuesdays Closing.


New York, Sept. 19-Murphy & Co. say
of cotton to-day; Liverpool advices this
morning were neutral in their influence on
US, but we opened about points higher
than last nights close, our action putting
the Liverpool prices a little higher later
on. and again reacting on US. The mar
ket ruled firm throughout the session,
though quiet after the first half hours
trading. Receipts are very large, and get
ting so now a all points, but there is no
selling pressure reported from any interior
section, in fact some report that prices
that are being paid are above the parity
of either New York or Liverpool. The af-
ternoon session developed new strength
in expectation of an unfavorable weekly
crop report, prices advancing some three
points. When the bureau was read it only
reiterated the reports of premature open
ing of bolls. Most of the crop is open, with
little prospect of top crop and picking
earlier than usual.

dence that the money market difficulties
had been passed. Call money ruled quite
as heavily as last week either to the sub
treasury or to the interior. But the out
ward movement in money is more than
sufficient to make inroads upon the legal
reserve Of the banks.
One of the vagaries of the situation Is
that sterling exchange held steady to firm

of over 1900 shares of stocks, while IL
