FINANCIAL.

this feeling seemed general throughout the greater portion of the day. The av- craze operator looked for a reaction of at least 15 points and this disposition on the part of the professionals relieved the market of considerable pressure. The market should advance a few points fur ther and then the cotton bought this morning should be sold
 There Is very little outside business and with the trade narrow, much of an ad- vance is not to be expected at the mos ment. After the developments of the past three weeks 7ia for January Is not as high as 7h cents seemed to be during July. The Texas crop has been cut down materially and the Atlantic states have been further retarded.
 Until the crop Is safe from frost dan ger the decline from this point Is likely to be slow, and we would advise buying on declines. If prices should advance sharp ly tomorrow on a reaction in Liverpool, profits should be taken as an advance of more than 15 to 20 is hardly to be looked for.

Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire to Sledge Commission
 Company.
 Birmingham, September 4.-Liverpool fully responded to the bureau report and went the American markets few better. Futures to 8 points lower and spots 3-32d lower on moderate sales of 1000 bales.
 Private information signified an absence of demand from spinners abroad and In view of the bureau figures combined with the probability of liberal crop estimates coming forward from leading authorities, a further depreciation of prices was gen. orally predicted.
 After the opening ,here 1t became evil dent that the pressure to sell had sub sided for the time being, and some real izing of profits by shorts resulted in a slight improvement, but a quiet condition subsequently, prevailed, as the easier tone of spots disuaded fresh speculation on the long side, notwithstanding the fact that gloomy crop reports continued to come forward from private sources.
 Closing quotations unchanged to s points above yesterday.
 For the near future the course of the contracting market depends largely on developments in the spot department. Prospective purchasers of spots are doubtless encouraged to defer buying by the probability of a constantly increas- ing movement of new cotton. which Is expected to have a depressing influence and accession free offerings from the in- terior.

STOCK MARKET
 ILL PROFESSIONAL
 f- Western Contingent" !Dartici- ! pated by Changing Often TUESDAYS BREAKWAS FELT The Days Movement of Prices Seemed Largely Due to ManeuveFs of Con- tending Professional oper-
 ators-Bonds Dull.

New York, September 4.-Today's stock market was an almost exclusively pro- fessional affair. with evidence of pas |. ticipation by the speculative party which Is rather vaguely characterized as the "western contingent" by the traders about the stock exchange. This party has been active at intervals in the stock ma r. ket ever since the. corn crop prospects became an element in the speculation. | They continued the sale of stocks this morning, but early became impressed with the notable pauclty of the offerings which were brought out under the pres sure they put on the market and reversed their position to the buying side. The . free offerings of corn today, which were at sufficiently attractive terms to attract some demand for export of that grain for the first time in a considerable period, may have had an influence on these cov- ering operations. The days movement of prices seemed largely due, however, to maneuvers by contending professional op- orators following yesterdays sharp break which in itself was apparently a testing operation by the capitalists who have supported the market for some time past. They seemed satisfied with their demon- stration of the small amount of stock lm> pending over the market for dislodgment and their brokers were large buyers again today, especially of United States steel stocks in which they were joined by the "western contingent" These stocks did not move upward until there had been sharp advances in Colorado Fuel and Tennessee Coal, based upon the as sumption that their business was largely increased as a result of the enforced idle ness of United States Steel Corporation works Chicago Greatwestern continued . strong on rumors of buying for controlling interests of the western railroad commuri- ity of interest and the recent large ac> cumulation of Mexican National war un> abated today.
 The strong tone permeated the whole market as the day progressed. and the final hour showed many of the market leaders amongst the grangers, Pacifics, SouthWesterns, coalers and speclafties from to 2 points over last nights clos ing. level. Conditions in the money ana exchange markets were practically un- changed. Call loans again touched per cent and the absorption of funds by the sub-treasury continued. amounting since Friday to t2, ,s32 900.
 Sterling exchange steadied this morn- ing as a consequence of working on the i, accumulation exchange bills over the hol- idav The Bank of England advanced US selling price for bar gold, and American eagles thus lowering the point to which sterling bills must fall before gold i'm ports are profitable

Murphy 6 Co.'S Stock Letter.

New York. September 4.-Notwith- standing the reactionary tendency show ing in the market yesterday. London again furnished a materially higher range of prices for American stocks, that quarter of the market here being de- scribed as active and fairly buoyant. Foreign houses continued buyers of i'm ternationally listed stocks in this mar ket upon the opening of business. Little change was noted in the several fea- lures of the situation at large. Inter- est again centered largely upon the monetary situation, as 1t seemed to be the general opinion that the banks would be forced to curtail advances to Wall street borrowers In order to fortify themselves against the heavy drain of the West in view of the movement of crops.
 The local market opened fairly active and firm. There did not appear to be such general liquidation as was noted in yesterdays dealings. but the trading still was characterized by irregular and un- certain movements. Active features were St. Paul, the Eries Southern Railway, the Atchisons and Missouri Pacific.
