From all accounts this country's debt
TO the continent Is far too heavy to be
offset by our exports of breadstuffs and
commodities and It is freely predicted
have 10 be granted for the adjustment
of our obligations. Locally the financial
situation presents no really unfavorable
aspects. The rate for demand for bonds
ruled easy. The drain on the local banks
has been heavier than reported. a con-
siderable amount of money going to the
interior by express. On the other hand
the sub-treasury paid out large sums
against Klondike and Australian gold de-
about $20.000.000 for bonds. this series of
transactions being clearly reflected in the
bank statement. The latest Treasury
statement shows an increase Of most
81. 900 Of receipts over expenditures.
There was much gossip dealing with va
rious. phases OF the railroad situation.
Some of this had to do with the st. Paul
Road and 1t Is doubtless true that sSlt
system has enhanced its prestige recent
iy. Nothing Official has yet been heard
respecting the issue of s25,0o0,O00 extra
stock authorized by the roads stock
holders. Reports that the Norfolk and
Western dividend is to be increased from

reservation.
Railroad bonds were considerably less
active and showed decided irregularity

vices were not encouraging. but our mar
ket. however opened practically un-
changed and subsequently declined to 4
points on realizing. due to the contin-
uance of favorable weather throughout
the belt. Near the close the fear of un-
settled weather over Sunday accustomed
steadier feeling. making the net loss
to points on the day. Receipts are ex-
pected to run light during the week, ow-
Ing to the restricted spot demand. The
best posted operators though. are watch
ing the weather closely, believing that
the conditions existing are daily adding
largely to the yield. The absence OF kill
ing frost next week will cause many to
again increase their crop estimates
Showers are predicted over Louisiana
and South Texas tonight and Sunday.
and over Arkansas tonight. otherwise
generally fair weather will prevail over
the balance Of the belt. The tempera-
lures however. will probably fall tonight
and Sunday over the greater portion Of
the South. In other words the light move
ment Is offset by the limited demand for
spots and the fine weather. Sentiment Is
very bullish and with any encouraging
feature an advance will be quickly estab-
lished. Still we think the weather is the
most important factor and suggest that
1t be watched closely.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
GENERAL BUYING FOLLOWS THE
OPENING CALL.
Liverpool Cables Not Up to Expecta-
tions and Attitude Of Public
Was Hesitant-Weekly Trade
Reports Encouraging.

New York. Oct. 25-The cotton market
opened steady, with prices unchanged 10
points higher and continued to Improve
after the call on fairly active buying In
which the shorts and Wall Street bulls
figured conspicuously. The Influences at
work were very conflicting, the weather
reports being ideal. The Liverpool cables
were not UP to expectations and the pub
lie operations were of a hesitant char
acter. On the other hand receipts were
again very light at the interior towns.
The trade was Influenced chiefly by the
light movement, the idea being that 1t re-
fected a short crop. The Bears at
tributed the shortage to the presence of
every available man In the fields In order
to take every advantage of the fine wealth
er south. leaving the ginning, baling and
marketing of the crop to a later date.
when conditions might not be 80 favora-
bile. The weekly trade reports were
fairly encouraging and the market news
from Fall River were indicative OF good
trade during the fall and winter months.
The South and Europe were buyers OF the
winter months In the local market after
the call and a number of the leading
hear traders covered up in anticipation OF
further rise In prices should the move
ment continue on its present slim basis
Southern spot markets were reported as
steady, but quiet: export clearances were
again large.

Weekly Cotton Review by r.. M.
Scale & Co.

The week has passed without unusual
significance save the fact we are at last
permitted to draw our breath in ease
after we have heard the final outcome
OF Mr.. Buston's great investigation of
three weeks. One word here about Mr..
BustOn: In the first place we give him
credit for being a good prognosticator
past three years. but when 1t is general
ly understood that he represent the Eng
fish spinner and then goes to work TO
advise every farmer to rush his cotton
to market as we'll as to advise everybody
to sell futures. 1t looks rather badly to
one attempting to view the situation con-
servativeIy. Again we can get a very
good opinion OF his estimate of u, 2O0. 600
bales minimum by his research in Ala
