STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct 9.-Today's stock
market was much the same as that Of
Yesterday The volume of dealings was
about the same and the general show
of early strength gave way to an in
tensely dull and hesitating market in
the afternoon as it did yesterday The
close was very dull with few of the
leading stocks at top and others at bot
tom prices and sagging uncertainty be-
tween those levels for the majority of the
list. The favorable outlook for easier
money. and the strong current belief that
the coal strike was on the eve OF a set
Element were the motives of the buying,
which showed some urgency in the case
of some of the coalers. The obvious fact
that earnest consultations were going on
and every effort being made to bring
powerful influence to bear to effect
settlement of the strike gave color to
the belief and gave rise to countless
rumors, none of which could be authenti-
Gated. The favorite story this morning
was that j. p. Morgan had asserted his
authority in favor of a compromise with
the strikers, and that President Baer,
of the Reading had thereupon resigned.
Reports were current that large orders,
which had been placed abroad for coal
were being cancelled by cable on account
of the imminence of the resumption of
mining. Official disclaimers of many of
the rumors were put out during the
course of the day and prices declined in
consequence. Stocks of gas companies
shared most notably in the strength of
the coal stocks, owing to the relief the
coal strike settlement would afford to
the scarcity of material for the manu-
facture of gas. HoweverA gains of / to 2
points were very we'll distributed through
the list at the period of the highest
prices 1t appears that the banks have
gained gold to the extent of about $5,-
600. 900 to Offset the shipments to the in
terror. 1t was the knowledge of this
condition that caused the hopes of easier
money. But while no liquidation was
forced by calling of loans, the banks
still refrained from extending loans on
the stock exchange Late in the day call
loans mounted again to Is per cent.
Rates for time loans for thirty days TO
six months are still held in the neighbor
hood of to per cent for the various
periods, thus showing the conviction that
money will continue scarce well into the
coming year. Sterling exchange steadied
again today. The New York exchange at
Chicago dropped today to 20 to zoe. dis
count compared with loo. discount yes
terday, thus indicating pretty clearly the
direction which will be taken by the first
money that can be spared by the New
York banks. The stimulating influence
of the hone of easier money was also
counteracted in this way, helping to the
irregular tone of the late market.
Bonds became irregular in sympathy
with stocks. Total sales, par value,
80, 720, 000
United States bonds were all unchanged
on the last call.
Total sales of stocks today we're 729, 900

advices were more favorable than ex-
pected and our market in sympathy open
ed 3 to points higher, but subsequently
declined on realizing. Later In the
session, however a rumor that the coal
strike in Pennsylvania was settled caused
an advance of from the bottom. Neal
the close values eased off slightly, max
ing the net gain 6 TO points on the day.
Spots were steadier and exporters were
freer buyers than for some time as the
basis for hedging was better, yet it is
claimed that spinners' orders continue
scarce. Receipts were more liberal than
anticipated, yet notwithstanding this the
fears of unfavorable weather setting In
in the belt coupled to the rumor that the
coal strike was settled occasioned
more cheerful feeling and brought in
some investment buying. So far there is
no inclination shown by outsiders to en-
ter the market freely. even though senti-
ment is very bullish. While crop esti-
mates are being increased by many, there
is no active opposition against an en-
hancement in prices. Weather conditions
will have an important bearing in regu
lating values and should be watched
closely. Summing up the situation, we
think purchases on all decided breaks
will eventually prove profitable.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Oct 9.-The cotton market
opened steady, unchanged to an advance
of four points. and ruled more active
and frmer on better cables than looked
for. The market was further stimulated
fy various rumors generally pointing 10
an early termination of the coal strike.
Still another factor in the advance IN
futures at this point was the renewed
stability in the spot markets of the
South. Certain Wall street operators,
who have been inactive for several days,
ie-cntered the market today as buyers,
and this led TO renewed activity on the
part of the failing contingent, while
there was also considerable demand from
speculative sources. The leading de-
mand was for January and March, al
though May showed broadening in
terest. Shorts We're the best buyers.
Wire houses were steady buyers through
out the session, giving preference TO the
more remote positions. European orders
We're about evenly divided between bny
ing and selling. The general situation
lere had the advantage of better accounts
from Wall street. At the best point the
marked showed an advance of to IL
points with the close quiet at net gain
of five to ten points. Estimated sales
225.000 bales.

Tarrant & Kings Cotton Letter.
Especial TO News and Observer
New York, Oct. 9.-The following are
quotations for cotton toda,

The high price of coal has restricted
buying by New England spinners, and
as there were no favorable announce
ments in the strike situation today, many
traders We're inclined to hold off until
the strike is settled but Liverpool was
firm at an advance of points, and as
receipts continue to run light, there was
enough conservative investment, buying
Of March and May to advance the mar
ket. The financial situation in Wall
Street is much improved. Mr. Mitchell
is here comforting with Senators, with a
view to ending the strike, and with the
movement of the crop much lighter the
situation on the whole seems very favor
able for good advance. We think a
settlement of the coal strike would start
a general buying movement.

We do not agree with our cotenlporary
entirely in this position. Some of the
candidates do try to impose upon the
newspapers, but the newspaper also
owes duty to its readers; at least

do not even receive thanks. The news
