STOCKS AND BONDS.
Net Changes in the Days Prices Mar
row,

New York, Oct. 17.-To-day's stock
market was again quite inconclusive
as an index to any consistent specula-
tive sentiments. Confusion and hesita-
ton were the only feeling revealed. AL
though prices covered a considerable
times, the net changes of any conse-
quence will be found very few.
The same brokers. acting 10 all ap-
pearances for the same interests, were
on different sides of the market at
different times of the day. This was
especially true of the operations in
the Southwestern Railroad group, in
which heavy selling, seemingly for in
side interests, was followed by even
heavier buying from the same sources.
The midday weakness in this group
interrupted a hardening tendency in
the market, as it did yesterday.
The feature of the morning transac-
tions was the marking up of a num-
Der of high priced investment rail-
road stocks. This movement was
prompted by the sales yesterday OF
Lake Shore at 300. which were confin-
ed to two transactions and the alleged
raising of the bid for Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy to 211, which prov
ed on investigation to be wholly ficti-
tious. On this rather slender basis
there we're hung various sapient dis
sertations upon the significance Of the
pressure of capital thus revealed into
the high-class railroad stocks and the
example was taken up this morning
possibly by investors and possibly by
the ingenious professional operators
who have been seeking to awaken spec
ulatiye interest in stocks. This move.
ment lost much Of its force by mid
day.
Much more impressive was the sud-
den activity in Northern Pacific pre-
ferred after period of practical stag
nation lasting ever since the panic Of
May 9, Not only was the demand for
this stock quite strong. but the sup
ply was extremely liberal, many one
thousand lots being dealt in and the
days transactions reaching a consid-
cradle total Among the prominent
sellers were brokers often employed by
the capitalists whose jealousy guard
ed control OF the company is known to
be maintained by holdings OF the pre-
ferred stock. The Incorporation in
Iowa of a Chicago, Burlington ana

COTTON.

Spot cotton opened quiet and easy
and unchanged, and after the opening
call declined 1-16c, at which it remain
ed. with the closing quiet and easy.
The demand was of an Indifferent
character, with exporters showing lit
lie eagerness to lay by supplies. For
this reason talk of a possible squeeze
towards the end of the month is heard,
as the current belief is that cotton will
be needed abroad, and that it will not
be a great while before outstanding or
ders, if any, will not only have to be
filed. but others are looking for. This
is a general belief among many of the
trade, and its correctness can prob
ably only be ascertained by time. Re-
ceipts were 1O6O3, against 1885, and
1916 year before last, Cotton. to arrive
was in fair demand. with the prevail
ing prices for fully good middling
around 5-16 to SAc. and basis good
middling. S 3-16To sac. At the outside
prices some business was done, though
it was reported that the trading point
was more around the inside figures
Cotton futures at New York closed
steady at net loss of 2 to 6 points.

Hubbard Bros. & Co... Cotton Letter.


New York, Oct. 17.-Warmer wealth
err over the Southwest, where the pre-
dictions had been for colder weather,
together with the large shipments to
Liverpool yesterday, broke that market
sharply. The heavy selling of yes
terady continued here until noon. when
the prices steadied. Cables reported
large offerings at easier rates from
Southern markets to account for the
greater weakness abroad than was
reasonably expected. After such q
sharp decline a natural reaction is in
order whether the movement is heavier
or not. The bullish feeling OF the local
trade, however. had a severe shock
through this selling against spots
bought in the South. Liverpool, through
these purchases. seems to have been
relieved from danger OF a scarcity.
This market will have to remain the
highest 20 draw cotton.

The prospect for higher prices in the
.,,.rantine market seems favorable,
..,Aeing from the orderly manner of the
aa,ances which have been scored dur
inc the past few days. The rather
,,aht movement has impaired strength
70 the market. and the rise was con-
soouently in accord with the regulating
law of supply and demand. At the
Losing to-day the official posting was
err at 35%c, with about all the Offer
mos IN factors hands taken. Resins
also closed firm, with a satisfactory
demand reported from all sources.
snot cotton closed quiet and easy at
a decline of 1-16c, with the demand
moderate. and exporters Indifferent
about entering. They did not seem
particularly anxious for cotton except
Of concessions, and this took all the
interest away so far as factors were
concerned. The nearer the end of the
month the better chance they have to
obtain good prices for spots. Cotton
70 arrive ruled quiet and in fair de-
mand at the prices given below. The
interior is very firm at the moment,
and little business can be expected at
the concessions which exporters are
looking for. Cotton futures at New
York closed steady to 6 points lower.
Reports were given out indicating cool
or temperatures in the Southwest, and
this in connection with the reported
good demand for cotton from mills ere
ated a better feeling towards the clos
ing. The following resume of the mar
