count OF the encouraging news regard
Ing the condition OF the President con-
tained IN Sundays and this mornings
Intelligence from Buffalo, the stock
market opened active, and at an adj
vance which extended to and 8 points
In number of cases. The buoyant
tone OF the trading at the opening was
furthered by the extremely extensive
advances scored in American stocks In
London, where st. Paul was quoted
fully 3 points above Saturdays local
closing prices. The London market was
strongest, IT is needless to say, under
the same influence effective in the To-
cal dealings. Sentiment was addition
ally strengthened by the assurances
made by the Clearing House Commit
tee that no depressing stringency
would be permitted in the development
OF the money market. Expectations of
early importations OF gold might be
cited as one more factor in the strength
which the market showed. Notwith-
standing the advances the trading was
marked by no little feverishness, and
vide fluctuations were noted after the
initial dealings. Particularly active
features of the market were St. Paul,
the Atchisons issues, Union Pacific, the
Fries and the Southern Railawy shares.
Among the specialties, Amalgamated
Copper, Peoples Gas and Colorado Fuel
and Iron were all particularly active,
but underwent the same wide move
ment that appeared in the railway list
London dealings in this market were
in fairly large volume, but were con-
Quoted on both sides Of the market.

any action that might be demanded
by an emergency, but there was no
formal session of the committee and
no steps were taken by them until at
ter the close of the stock market,
when a dispatch was sent to Secretary
Gage advising him or the committees
view that some action by the Treasury
Department was incumbent for the re-
lief of the money situation. The
special circumstances which make the
operations of the Treasury Depart
nent embarrassing to the money mar
ket have been too often stated to need
special description hers The enlarged
surplus in the government revenues
by reason of the great decrease in the
expenditures without corresponding
decrease in the income is taking daily
from the open market and from the
circulation large sums of money Just
at the time when the movement of the
crops and the expanding fall require
ments are making the years largest
demands for money Some sxpecta-
ton OF action by the Secretary of the
treasury for the relief of the money
market played it's part in the days
strength OF the market before the
action OF the committee was known.
The tension of the demand for money
here was shown also by the decline
in exchange on other points. Both
sterling and continental exchange fell
sharply, causing renewed talk OF en-
gagements OF gold for import, but none
were announced. Chicago exchange
on New York also rose to within 10
cents Of par, but $780, 900 was deposited
at the sub-treasury for Chicago aud
$4,000 for New Orleans. In view Of
these considerations the collapse in the

vincing than IL would otherwise be. It's
occurrence after the demand OF the
day had been largely satisfied might
have been due to manipulation. The
market closed strong at near the top,

murphy g. Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Sept. 9.-Cotton was dull
at an advance of to points this
morning. Cables showed an improve
ment, and the condition of the Presi-
dent was such as to produce a more
hopeful feeling in trade circles, and to
direct attention to other probable in
fiuences in the staple. News from the
South was of the same recent char
acter, reports to-day indicating fine
weather for growing and picking. AS
we approach the frost period shorts
are getting nervous. The small stock
in New York warehouses is also giving
them no little concern, and the posi-
bility of an October corner is being
discussed. That month advanced Z
points during morning. The total sales
were light. Gables were practically
unchanged. There was some rain in
Texas yesterday, including a fair fall
at Beeville, and heavy at Corpus
Christi, San Marcos. and San Antonio.
Receipts at the ports, 10000, against
Ii 900 last year. The diminishing sup
ply of cotton in Liverpool is attracting
attention, and according to Manchester
cables ii is admitted that the statis-
teal position in Liverpool is such as
to justly higher rates in the immediate
future, and that supplies are not COM
ing forward sufficiently we'll to relieve
the market Texas reports continue
to rnonopoiize, and so far we can de-
tern,ine nothing TO justly tia oft es-
pressed belief in quite moderate crop
in that state.

seeuert!y our market opened 2 to Z
higher, advanced slightly shortly aft

declined on realizing. Favorable re-
ports Of the Presidents condition su-
perinduced purchases later, occasion
ing an improvement of T. The weak
ness of spots in the interior, and the
leading market declining from one.six-
teenth to one-quarter OF a cent brought
out sellers near the close establishing
q break Of y to II from, the top, max
ing the loss or the day points. Man
chester cables say that the market has
been feverish and unsettled owing to
the uncertainties existing. While ad-
uniting the statistical situation might
be conducive to higher prices in the
near future, still the position of cloths
are very different from that Of year.
Most outlets are well supplied and
there is no need to pay fancy prices in
the face OF a reduction within a few
months. Shippers for India and China
prefer to await results. Crop advices
from. Central and Southern Texas are
more optimistic as the recent rains, it
is claimed, have improved the outlook.
Travellers and railroad men from that
state think the damage has been ex-
aggerated and are of the opinion that
the shortage from drought will be off,
set considerably by the increased
acreage. The reports from the other
states are generally favorable and
while the heavy rains sometime back
delayed picking, they were beneficial,
especially as they were followed by hot,
forcing weather. Judging from the
present indications the pressing early
engagement for September have been
filled, accounting for the weakness now
prevalent in spots. Unless good de-
mand for the raw articles soon makes
its appearance again, it is unlikely
that values can be sustained for the
moment.
