STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 24.-The most striking
point in todays market was its dullness
compared with the recent level of activ-
ity Neither the public nor the large OPP
orators seemed to be taking any part
in the market and prices drifted rather
aimlessly and hesitatingly. The continued
weakness in some stocks, especially
American Steel and Wire at the opening
was offset by the aggressive strength of
others. Northern Pacific opened over a
point higher and extended the advance
later to over two points. There was in
dependent strength shown at different
times by Union Pacific and by the South
ern Railway stocks, which lifted them one
to one ard half points each. There
seemed to be some mixing of the favor
able character of the bank statement be-
fore it's appearance on the tape.
The bear traders have circulated ru-
mors since yesterday that some myster-
iouS influence was at work which would
spoil the good features of the statement.
Shorts covered heavily in advance of the
statement and general rally occurred
which lifted the whole market we'll over
last night, many stocks rising a point or
more. The bears were much struck by
the failure of any large buying demand
to develop with the easy money condi-
tions Indicated, and they put out fresh
short lines in the last few minutes of the
trading, making the closing active and
weak. and near the lowest, except for tho
stocks where particular strength had been
shown The market at no time showed
the urgent liquidation which was the fea-
ture Yesterday, but new buying was
equally lacking, even when the technical
question became distinctly favorable. SO
far as the known movements Of money
show. the banks received less than five
million dollars this week. The increase
Of 81, 538, 800 shown by the statement is
supposed to be due to some special move
ment of cash from nearby cities in which
a single bank has been concerned This
item figures more largely in the deposit
increase than did the loan expansion OF
$4,ST4 900 Therefore, in spite OF the
swelling of the reserve requirement by
nearly SO, 900 900 the actual surplus is in
creased by $4,6OS, 500
An active business has been done in
bonds, but it has at no time approached
the high record volume of the market OF
January, 1899. Prices are generally higher
on tire week. United States new As ad-
vanced II, the refunding IS when issued

HAVEN & sToUT's COTTON LETTER

New York, No 24.-The crop situa-
ton is unchanged, and it is now recog-
nized that there is no longer any chance
for an actual increase in the amount of
cotton that has been produced. Heavy
rains in Texas, following cold weather,
have ended any expectation of further
growth in that State, and the disposition
at present on the part of the trade is to
estimate what the crop will actually be.
More or less Importance has been at
tached to Mr. Neills figures, which were
made public on Friday. 1t had been pre-
dicted that his figures would be moder-
ate and his estimate of a crop of be-
tween $500, 900 and $3.50, 900 bales agreed
with the general anticipation. 1t might
be said that the market had discounted
this in advance by the increased firmness
of spots and the further advance record
f, ed in prices for futures during the early
part of the week. The movement for the
week continues to be large, but it is not
thought that the interior points will
exceed 225, 900 bales against 1884, 900 bales
last week and we gain hear a good deal
of talk from various sections about the
practical exhaustion of supplies in some
quarters and the increased disposition
of producers to hold back their surplus
cotton for higher prices.
Most of the current influences are bull
ish, and there has also been an increased
speculative interest in the market, the
advance this week having been accom-
panied by renewed buying from outsiders,
while the realization of profits on the rise
was not excessive. At the same time the
market has advanced about one cent a
pound within less than a month, and to
many this seems for the present to dis
count the bullish situation statistically
and otherwise
Spots are very firmly held, but the eff
feet of the recent rise has been to check
buying by spinners, although it is to be
noted that mill owners freely admit high
grades arc scarce and legitimately com
mand better prices. The Liverpool market
has been generally strong, though at the
close of the week the tone there was re-
dictionary, much more so than it is here,
the local trade being generally favorable
to the continuance of the advance, with
only moderate reactions in the quotations.

seven points higher and while inactive
much of the session maintained a bullish
undertone and held well up to the initial
figures. The customary weekend liqui-

shorts proved sufficient to absorb these
offerings. The influences at work were
encouraging to friends of the staple to
say the least. Liverpool sent better cables
than expected, futures there closing IL

Jotham Strout was hoeing corn in the
bottom just opposite the ferry, when his
attention was attracted by rafting
noise above his head. Looking up he was
staggered at seeing a man tumbling down
the fearful precipice, now touching and
grasping a a twig. now at a root with
out being able TO check himself. Finally,
with crashing of limbs, he landed in
the top of a buckeye tree, about fifty feet
above the general level of the bottom.
MIR. Strout ran 10 the place with all
haste, dreading to find a dead man. and
not doubling he would be terribly in

had fallen was 10 feet and from the last
point where he had touched the rock to
the top OF the tree where he lodged was
forty-five feet.
Fancy Mr.. Strouts surprise, then, to
find the man standing erect at the foot
of the tree, feeling of his arms and body.
