STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct 17.-Another day of
rising prices characterized the stock
speculation today and the degree of con-
fdence that prevailed was notable con-
trast to the depressed feeling that eX-
listed at the outset of the week Inc
formal announcement that Secretary
Shaw had agreed to purchase all bonds OF
the issue Of 1925 presented at the Sub
Treasury today and tomorrow was an
effectual tonic to the market. 1t was
stated that block of s., 900 900 had been
accepted. and it was predicted that fully
twice as much more would be immediate
" turned in by a syndicate at 1874 and
interest. which would net about 13S All
told it was expected that the tenders
under this offer would result in the re-
lease of about 500, 900, 900 Treasury funds,
which would be speedily available to the
local money market.~~Witn this prospect
of new material in sight to continue ac-
tive operations the pools went to work
with considerable confidence, and bid up
their favcrites notably. The call money
market showed great ease today, and
there were confident expectations that a
good bank statement would be issued to-
morrow, which would contribute toward
further ease next week. The preliminary
estimates showed that the banks came
out about even on their operations with
the Sub-Treasury and tho interior, but
the completion of some syndicate trans
actions this week is expected to reduce
the loan account decidedly. Active OPP
crations by a noted speculative clique
were said to be based on the money re-
ceived from the Louisville and Nashville
settlement, and it was pointed out that
the early closing of the Rock Island CAPT
tai Encouragement would release large
amount of money which had been tied up
in arbitrage operations between the old
and new securities The usual crop OF
rumors respecting this or that stock was
put to good usage during the day, but
the most tangible assertion was that
favorable traffic alliance had been effected
between st. Paul and Union Pacific Not
much was heard of the rumored increase
in the Norfolk and Western dividend and
yesterdays interest in that stock was
largely shifted into other quarters. The
soft coal stocks as a group were notaolc
feature of the day. and an early rise OF
almost four points in Baltimore ana ONO
caused an increased demand for other
stocks of this class. Heavy operations
wcrc resumed in Norfolk and Western
at the opening. but after a rise to S0#,
the stock was liquidated heavily and
sold under Yesterdays close for con
siderable part of the day. But little in
tercst was displayed in the anthracite
coal stocks and there was some DISPOSE
ton to reduce dealings in them until the
actual settlement with the miners is
worked out. Trading was furiously ac-
tive during the first two hours. and when
the Est showed some disposition TO Las

Inc market closed barely steady.
The tone of the cotton mar
kot was decidedly frmer today. In many
ways il was the best looking market we
have had in a week. Liquidation appears
10 have been rather thorough as far as
weak accounts go, and the price is much
lower than two or three weeks ago
March and May at Sac under present
conditions would seem to be as good a
purchase as under 81ac before the govern
ment report. The spinning demand is
likely 20 be decidedly better now that the
strike is settled and this will have
decided influence on the market. Should
the price remain around present figures
and the movement fall off, buying would
bring about a different position. This is
the time when prices must have their
downs as we'll as their ups 1t is al
ways so when there are waves of big
crop ard waves of small crop news Let
the movement fall off ever so little and
there will be a scramble 20 get cotton
The Wall Street condition is much bet
ter than any prevailing this month. g
large amount of cotton has been els
posed Of at better prices and now that
the strike is over the mills are likely to
be active buyers. Prices have had n
good decline, nearly Zee in May. and if
nothing more. the reaction is due. There
may be some cold weather before long
In Texas rains are predicted. While cot
ton is being added to the crop every day
this docs not mean a big crop by any
means 1, will be March before we know
much about the size of the crop. For a
few days now we would buy cotton on
every break. The price is low enough
for the present and we would not sell
cotton short until the crop is proven
large beyond all question.

years in question. namely, 1897 and 1898,
the September movement was relatively
small and the crop was late. All ad-
vices agree that this crop is an carly
one.
If after next week the movement COM
mences to show any substantial diminu-
ton those who have hitherto doubted
the correctness of small crop estimates
will be speedily converted and prices viii

The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-10-18

The settlement of the coal strike, the
greatly improved condition of the dry
goods trade, both here and abroad, and
the light movement of the crop were the
combined influences that led to a much
steadier market today. The improve
ment which started yesterday afternoon
was continued until at one time today
there was a reaction in the spring OPP
tions of eleven points, March selling at
$50. Those who were expecting a de-
cline when March and May were around
$50, are now equally as confident that
the market has scraped bottom and
We're liberal buyers today. The amount
brought into sight for the week is 10000
bales less than the same week a year ago,
and the weather has been favorable for
moving the crop. Receipts for the next
fortnight will govern fluctuations to
great extent and are being watched
closely.

New York. Oct. 17.-General business in
cotton goods quiet at first hands. but
prices are well-maintained. Bids of 3
cents for regular print cloths still in
the market. but no sellers. Narrow odds
sold in fair quantities at firm prices. Lin

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York. Oct. 1.-THE cotton market
opened steady with prices 2 points high
or to / point lower and, following the
call. continued to work upward on in
creasing demand from shorts and mod
crate investment buying. The better
feeling was due for the most part 10 an
unexpected rise in the Liverpool and to
reports from Fall River that demand
for yarns and cloths was active at firm
prices.
Whereas the early weather chart noted
generally fair conditions over the entire
belt. the forecast foreshadowed unset
tied weather over extensive portions of
the crop country with lower temperatures
in Western Texas. The receipts were
free for the day, but the estimates for
the movement of tomorrow fell below the
actual receipts of same day a year age
The private Liverpool cables brought buy
ing orders and the South, too, attempted
to cover shorts here. The week end
statistical statement as made up by Super
intendent King, Secretary Hester and the
Liverpool statistician were of bearish i'm
port, but had been quite generally dis
counted. The market continued to adj
vance until mid-afternoon when light
proft-taking by early buyers checked
further Improvement. The close was
steady with prices net to points high
er. Total sales were estimated at 175, 900
bales. The reports from Southern spot
markets were indicative of stability and
good export demand. The crop estimates
as general thing ranged from IL goo 900
to 100000 bales.
