STAGNATION IN
 STOCK MARKET Professionals Amuse Themselves by Making Small Deals.  DULL DAY AT THE EXCHANGE e - Even the Mercurial Specialties Sagged Back After Slight Rise-Money
 Firmer in Tone and Bond
 Market Featureless
DULL DAY AT THE EXCHANGE

New York September 12.-Very little can be said of such a market as that of today beyond the chronicle of the movements of the individual stocks. Dealings fell nearer the point of stagnation than even the re- cord of the recent dullness has yet shown. The few stocks that showed any apprecia- ble movement were not influenced by any general condition of business or affairs, and it was difficult in some cases to dis cover even a special cause to account for the movement.
 Dealings represented little else than the amusement of professional operators. Tel egraphic communication was much inter- rupted by the storms in the West, and this was proffered as an explanation of the ex- traordinary dullness, but as orders received by telegraph and executed in the market have not been perceptible influence for many months past the explanation was not convincing.
 The most mercurial specialties, namely Peoples Gas, Sugar and Brooklyn Transit maintained their pre-eminence in the mar ket, but the range of their fluctuations was extended to reach 8 point only with palpa- ble effort. Before the market closed prices of the three had been dragged back to very near last nights levd
 London bought stocks here again today and helped the opening rise, the London market being encouraged by belief in the Boer collapse and seemingly by the hope that renewal of the South African gold supply would soon help to relieve the Lon don money market. Sterling exchange in New York reacted again and demand which was partly due to remittances on ac- count of American subscriptions to the British war loan, seemed satisfied Not withstanding the downward course of ster- ling exchange opinions are strangely per- sistent in some quarters that gold will soon go out to London. Currency continues to move freely towards the South and West and the sub-treasury is taking small sums from the market with the cessation of the transfer of Pacific coast gold and the prac- tical discontinuance of operations under the government refunding law. Local money rates are slightly firmer in tone as conequence Today's bond market was barren of any feature. Total sales, par value, S75,000. United States 5s registered advanced E. the refunding 2s when issued registered A, and refunding 2s coupon E per cent in the bid price. The 3s coupon declined IS per cent.

Cotton Letter

Cotton Letter
 Fairchild & Hobsons Cotton Letter to H. D. Cothran & Co.
 New Orleans, September Eve have to chronicle another very busy day in cotton The tenor of yesterdays government report had more effect in Europe than in America Liverpool futures raised to 7-64th up when a decline of half dozen points was expe- rienced. Spots were reduced hc in the English market. Notwithstanding Liver pool was much better than looked for, the American market failed to respond to tho English improvement. New Orleans open ing only points higher than last night. The opening, however. was the lowest of the day as traders became apprehensve lest the damage done the Texas crop be un- derestimated. Houston places the total loss at 50,O00 bales which is thought to be too small, when the amount of damage done at Galveston and inland towns is taken into consideration.
 The next feature that caused a commo1 ton was the rumor to the effect that Mr. Neirl would be out tomorrow with 9as maximum crop estimate annexed to which would be a very bullish statement on the position of cotton calculated on consump-

ton of 100000 bales. Last year consump- tion reached 000 What therefore will be the course of prices if the takings of spinners come anywhere near last years. The underlying danger in the market, how ever, is that even be the crop very small one, early receipts, if they prove heavy during tn last half of this month, and In October, may cause free offerings If the spinner withholds from the market, for a fact not to be lost sight of is that not for twenty years has the South marketed a crop on the basis of Il cents, which in our opinion will induce early parting of the staple.
 We are told that 1t Is no easy task to buy cotton today at Il cents, but when sentiment runs away with or from reason, it is time to put on ones thinking cap.

 Liverpoors Advance
HEAVY SOUTHERN BUYING

New York, September 12.-Renewed ex- citement and a further upward movement developed in the cotton trade today follow ing unexpected strength at Liverpool, not Withstanding our net loss of to 25 points yesterday. The cables reported an ad- vance of four points with a further ad- vance of 5 points, and a final advance of 51A to 7-64d. Our market was not dis posed to follow, but was forced to do so The advance brought in shorts who have lately been selling on the unsatisfactory cotton goods outlook.
 The further news from Texas regarding the damage done by the late cyclone was contradictory but the average, however, was no worse than yesterdays. But the bull fever still on and shorts had to cover, whether they would or not.
 There was heavy buying for Southern, Wall street and foreign account with the leadership still maintained at Liverpool, which cabled that Neill was about ready to issue a strong circular. Our market, after opening at an advance of l to s points, further advanced 20 to 46 points, January selling to 995, after at one time having sold at 9.52. The range on Septem- Der was from 1912 to 10.4O, and on October from 992 to 1925.
 The market was upon strictly specula- tive basis in the afternoon, very active and irregular, and closed strong at a net ad- vance of 23 to 47 points.
