THE STOCK MARKET FLAT AND DRAGGING
The Money Market Grows Easier. Several
Causes Outside of the Treasury De-
partmenfs Action Contributed
to This Result.

New York. Oct. 11.--No change in the
character of the demand for staple cot
toms. More business coming forward
than sellers are able ITO take care of.
Tone of the market very strong, prices
tend upwards.
Staple prints are selling well. Fancies
unchanged. Wooden dress goods are in
good rearest for immediate delivery,
and for spring, with a stiffening ten
dency. Silks are quiet but firm for piece
goods. Ribbons quiet and disappointing.
Print cloths strong and tending down
ward
COTTON.
New York. October LITTLE price of
cotton reached a much lower level in
the market this morning, but subse-
quently rallied and closed within five
points of last nights figures. Consider
ing the action of our market yesterday,
Liverpool today showed weakness, va
riously accounted for by private cables.
One report had it that Neill's crop cir
cular and the warlike attitude of Eng
land and the Beers had forced holders
to unload, and induced general short
selling abroad Another claimed lead
ing bears on this side had sent over
large selling orders, and these, combined
with heavy pressure from bear circles
in Liverpool, had brought about the
heavy decline. Our market opened q
to 8 points under last night and con-
tinued to decline most of the forenoon,
January at one time selling at 691, and
May at 705. Shorts attacked the mar
ket vigorously, and enormous amounts
of long stuff were forced overheard by
the outside public, and even a number
of room bulls sold out a goodly portion
of their holdings.
For Il while excitement was at fever
heat and nobody seemed to have the
faintest idea as to where the selling
movement would carry prices. Shortly
after midday, however, there was a
marked change, and prices We're soon
rapidly advancing, January reaching
104. Supported by official estimates for
another light movement at the ports
tomorrow and batch Of bullish crop
and other information from the cotton
belt, the market stubbornly resisted
further pressure. A number of staunch
outside houses sent in large buying or
ders with the result that shorts We're
soon scrambling to cover.
AT the close the market was very
steady with prices one point higher to
five net lower.

inward squirt was due almost entirely
TO covering by shorts, who today were
inclined TO regret their precipitancy.
The. var-like situation between England
and the T'ransyaal was almost without
effect In fact the London market
seemed to feel rather encouraged than
otherwise over the termination of the
uncertainty and operators there inclined
to bid up the prices of some of the
American stocks in sympathy with the
advance of the Kaffir stocks. The rise
was short-lved on this side and the
dragging tendency of prices was not
much changed at any time until the
close of the market at prices below
last nights level all around. The mon
ey market was distinctly easier The
causes of this were quite apart from
the action of the Treasury Department
in Offering to anticipate the government
interest payments for the remainder OF
the fiscal year. For one thing, the Sub
Treasury figured at the clearing house
again today rs debtor for over a mil
lion. Government disbursements are
running quite heavy, due in large part
to pension payments. There was a sum
of gold received from Havana today on
account of postal revenues and a small
additional shipment of French gold was
received The rate for call money ruled
for the greater amount of loans at
per cent to s per cent and fell to 3 per
cent in the late dealings. Money con
tinues to so out to the interior in large
volume Not so cheerful a view was
taken of the effect of the Treasury De-
partment's action with regard to antici-
pated interest. Under the terms of the
Department order the amount of inter
est to be paid out this week is only
about $1,600,000 and that not until
Friday. OF course only part of it is pay
able in New York, and precedent shows
that n small part of the holders are
likely to present their claims on that
day The next disbursement comes on
October Ord. The requirement for the
presentation of registered bonds for in
dorsement before payment is made is
also expected to- operate against a gem
eral acceptance OF the interest. The ac-
ton of the Treasury Department never
theless has had the effect Of allaying
apprehension in Wall street. but it Is
perceived that whatever relief is ar
forded is not likely to furnish a supply
of surplus funds for the benefit of stock
Spectators.
The business in bonds was very we'll
distributed and the tendency of prices
was downward. Total sales of bonds
