New York. Oct .S1.--Except for spe-.
cial movements in a few individual
stocks, to-day's market ran down to
near stagnation many times. There
was no pressure to sell, but prices
gravitated to lower level on account
of the paralysis of demand.
The central cause of. this state of af-
fairs was the advance in the discount
rate of the Bank of England to per
cent, compared with the 8 per cent.
rate which has been maintained since
June 10, last. This gives unmistakable
notice that further demands are pend
ing upon the banks stock of gold.
which the rise in the discount rate Is
intended to protect by diverting the
demand upon New York. No doubt
seems to be entertained that this OBJ
ject will be achieved In fact ar
rangements were already perfected to-
day for shipments Of gold to Paris next
week.
The weekly statements Of the Bank
of England and the Bank of France
show the need of the former TO check

the latter for recuperation. The French

New York, Oct. 31.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady, with prices points
lower to 3 points higher and immedi-
ately became very firm on turn of
shorts for cover and an influx of buy
ing orders through Wall street COM
mission houses. During the rest of the
forenoon the course of the market was
steadily upward, with buying for both
accounts very active. Whereas Janu-
airy sold at 7.41c on the call it rose to

abated. The cables from Liverpool

both at the ports and interior towns.
But in place of the fine weather which
has prevailed for six weeks or more a
sharp fall in temperature to frost level
was forecasted with showery conditions
west of the Mississippi tomorrow. The
early action of the market clearly in
dictated that yesterdays heavy selling
movement had cleaned out practically
all the long interests and had created
large short account, particularly in
January. Trading was quite active I'M
til after midday, when the outside buy
ing subsidized. Profit-taking then carried
prices off sharply from the top. Janu-
airy selling down to 746c. The esti-
mates for to-morrow's receipts pointed
to a sharp decline in the movement,
while the news from Fall River reflect
ed firm market and little prospect of
a strike in the mills. The market late
in the day displayed a disposition to
do better on the least support.
The close was steady, with prices net
unchanged to points higher. except
August, which was - points higher.

ported IN the demand, though fair sales
were reported, considering that the
market is not yet regarded as having
opened in earnest. Spinners and manu-
facturers appear to be awaiting devel-
opments. Reports from the crop are to
the effect that favorable weather pre-
vailed during the week for picking, and
that receipts at interior points have
largely increased. Prices at Savannah
are about as follows: Extra choice and

H. & n. Beers Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, Oct 31.-Our market
responded to more favorable Liverpool
advices than expected by opening to
8 higher, improving 6 to z additional
later, on the fear of cold weather in
the Northwest, extending into the cot
ton belt, realizing subsequently occa-
stoned break of 8 from the top, but
shorts covering near the close caused
an advance of 5 from the bottom, maxi
ing the net gain z to 8 points on the
day. There has been a slight fall in
the temperature over the Mississippi
Valley and the Northwestern Rocky
Mountain slope, while elsewhere the
temperature has risen or remained sta
tionary. The predictions are for prob
able showers in sections followed by
fair and colder weather. OF course,
since it is practically Nov. /, the dan
ger of early frost has been removed,
as the crop is assured east of the Mis-
sissippi river, and killing frost now
would do little damage. If, however,
killing frost is delayed in Texas a week
longer. the increased yield already
made by the favorable weather dur
ing the past seven weeks will be
augmented considerably by the top
crop. Crop ideas are increasing, and
although the trade are working for q
reaction, 1t is unlikely that any de-
cided enhancement can be maintained,
unless severe killing frost soon ma
terializes west of the Mississippi river.

New York. Oct. 31.-From the low
point to-day we have had a reaction
which has been expected when the
pressure from the lquidations of the
past week was over. kilograms from
all the foreign and Southern markets
contained many suggestions that re-
action was more than due. and that
the movement would be checked unless
a rally occurred. At the semi-weekly
towns there is no indications of any
decided check in the receipts. but IL
should show during the next week.
The temper to-day has been to
look for a steady market over the end
OF the week. as IL was felt we might
have a frost during, that period. A
cold wave in the Northwest increased
the disposition TO wait, though the
government does not mention frost in
its predictions. We are now reaching
a time OF year when frost can be ex-.

The receipts were 11,471, against 4,63S
last year, and 7,S4S year before last.
Receipts at the ports $4,000, against

moderate, though there was consider
able inquiry during the late hours.
In the f. o. b. market the demand DUR
ing the early hours was light and
sales were made on a basis of 7-16c
for good niddling. Later the demand
increased and prices stiffened, the cur
rently reported quotations being ia
to 11-16c for fully good middling,
and TX to 9-16c for basis good mid
ding. The country was not inclined
to do business except at the outside
figure, as the opinion is forming that
a reaction is due, and in anticipation
of it the disposition TO wait gained
strength. Cotton futures. at New York
