New York. November 9-Commercial Adj
vertiser's London financial cablegram:
The markets here were slack during most
OF the session but closed firm except in the
American department. Securities in that de-
partment opened above parity and were
bought rather vigorously for some time
Business In them then dwindled down to
small proportions until word came of the
steady relapse in New York, accompanied
by sales from that city This caused a de-
cline and the close was at the worst, South
ern Pacific being the feature. Silver closed
at n 3-16d on Chinese demand. The Bank
of Bombay has reduced it's discount rate
from Z to per cent.

BULLISH IDEAS PREVAIL
End of the First Hour Saw Prices Sew

New York, November 9.-Ihe cotton mar
ket today was greatly agitated by violent
and unexpected fluctuations within large
areas. After opening points higher Liv-
erpool slowly eased off. The investment
public appeared loath to abandon its bull
fish ideas, and was soon taking cotton as
fast as offered. The end of the first hour
saw prices several points above the close
of last night, with The undertone very hrm
Near midday, however, there was lull IN
tine buying movement and under struggling
sales or profits prices gradually fell away,
but at noon were a shade above the OPEN
ing figures The early afternoon witnessed
a sensational break of IL points under
concerted move ON the part of Wall street
commission houses to take profits. During
the slump the greatest of excitement pre-
vailed and for some minutes appearances
pointed to "a general spill of cotton pur-
chased on the late rise. Staunch bulls step
ped into the breach thus made and COM
menced to buy heavily, and recuperation
was almost as sudden as had been the de-
cline.
Throughout the rest of the day the mar
ket was very nervous and readily influenced
by orders as they arrived. Reports that
exporters were accepting all offers of spot
cotton in the central and western belt,
notably in Texas, notwithstanding a sub
stantfal advance in prices, served to allay
tine fears of uneasy holders to some extent
and checked any desire on the part of the
bear faction to pound the market. The
close was steady at net decline of to
10 points.
