SEVERAL STOCKS WE'RE VERY ACTIVE Peoples Gas Led With Advance
 of 3l Points. GOLD A DOMINANT FACTOR The Closing in Wall Street Was Strong and the Gains Well Maintained
 The Gall Loan Rate Was
 Inclined to Sag
GOLD A DOMINANT FACTOR

New York, October 12.-The dominant factor in Wall street today was the large engagement of gold for import, London, Paris and Berlin all contributing, the total amounting to s2,750,OOO The dealings in stocks were not large at any time, and the operations Were attributed to the profes- sional offers for the most part There was a. fair distribution of the strength, but the effective dealings during the day were concentrated in a few stocks and those distinguished for the recent large short selling, from which they hace suffered. Peoples Gas was the notable example in the industrial list.
 The stock sold off after the opening on the presumption that yesterdays buying has satisfied the demand from the shorts but the large covering at the decline caused a renewed advance and 1t was lifted at one time an extreme 3A, closing with net gain of IF. In the railroad list Northern Pacific was in large demand on buying supposed to be for inside inter- ests. But here also the short interest played an important part in the days ad- vance, which reached 212, with the net gain of 2A. But while the strength of these two stocks was pre-eminent, list of those which rose from l to points was long one Notwithstanding the notable dullness at the last, the closing was strong and gains well maintained. The failure of the money rate to respond to the operations in the stock market gave color to the suppo- sition that they were conducted by pro- fessional operators who had supplied them selves with time loans with view to such a contingency as the present. The call loan rate in fact was inclined to sag, the ruling rate declining to per cent, not withstading that loans made today carried over until Monday.
 The bond market was quiet and changes were unimportant. Total sales par value $770,OO0. United States new Is advanced Ao on the last call.

them, and instead of siding with the bulls, MT. Neilfs letter intimated that with a late frost his crop estimate would be in- creased. So, instead of opening higher, the English market declined from the very opening and closed 3-64ths lower than last night. While the teonor of the circular is- sued by MT. Nell influenced our market to lower level contracts opened at loss of R points. The greatest depression came from the heavy weekly movement and an increase of 1A000 in excess of the gain of 175,0O0 during the corresponding week of last year in the visible supply. Port re- ceipts for the week were BPS, CAT Confirming our estimate of 3250O0 last Saturday. against 251, ,931 last year. There is no hope for higher prices in the plantation move ment of the past seven days, it showing an increase of 60000 over last week and 27 GOO over the same week last year. which indi- cates another large weeks port movement for the coming week and consequently an- other big week insight. We favor selling on all rallies and notwithstanding that we have had a big decline, we believe that lcwer prices will be witnessed in the near future especially if there be no frost scare December here ranged from 9.45 to BPS, at which level 1t closed, or 25 points under the closing of last night.

 The markets here were slack and droop- ing on the expectation that the bank rate will soon be advanced although rumor was current that a rise may be rendered unnecessary by the Bank of France re- leasing gold, and large arrivals from h. d.a. The only activity was In Americans, which started on New York's early buying orders. They finished buoyant. This was surmised to bear covering. The bank sold S2O0,000 gold in bars, probably for the United States. Money rates unchanged. o.ver collapsed on the announcement that the Indian government has completed it's coinage buying by the million sterling pur- cnase. Nevertheless, the bazaar price has risen farthlng to 74A, and India might buy prohtably. The market depends on this.

SHARP BREAK IN
 COTTON MARKET The Opening Was 3 to 16.
 Points Off, HIGHER PRICES LOOKED FOR Foreign Cables Stated That the Eng fish Decline Was Due to Ne s Circular Liberal Receipts
 Increased Weakness
HIGHER PRICES LOOKED FOR.

New York, October 12-A sharp break occurred in the price of cotton today, fol- lowing disappointment in the English ca- bles. The local market opened at a decline of 3416 points; partial rally at Liverpool caused a temporary upward movement after the first call here but again the situ- ation became unsettled under a renewed pressure of long cotton with the bear con- tngent showing increasing courage and selling with liberal hand until the net de- cline reached 20Q35 points as compared with the closing figures of the previous day.
 The weakness was increased by liberal port and interior receipts. The fact that frost held off in the cotton belt added to the disappointment. The market was finally steady at decline of 16Q35 points
 According to private cables, the English decline was due to Neills circular.
