R. M. Scale 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

Especial to The AdvertIserl
 New York. Nov 2.-The market had a sharp recovery of to 10 points. The break was due to lower Liverpool cables and not selling after the advance. The Eecovery was due to moderate estimates aI Houston for Monday and the prospect oi moderate movement of actual cotton next week. As the bureau is expected to De buliish. there will not be short selling Tn the meantime. Those who believe in large crop and consider anything over S l-4 in New York hardly justified at this season of the year; will welcome an ad- vance to sell on. Those who look at moderate receipts and the coming report as bull factors will buy as long as the market Keeps on going up The two tend 70 create better market, and on which it should be fair risk to buy on any good breaks. The market today showed ne- issuance to pressure. We should not Me surprised to see a lower range of values certainly not buy on a break of less than To or Z" points. And we would take profits most certainly as she bureau may come out l0, 30O.0oo or 10,400.0O0 bales instead of iU,U'Wy l!I as expected. This would upset bull calculations. Small receipts. com paratively small. as the figures next week are likely to again exceed last wear. the year before and the year before that can Tn part be attributed to the bad weather in some,parts of the belt. Our reason for the recent advance has been the had re. ports from Texas. where excessive rains nave delayed picking and caused bolIs to rot. etc. Then why not delayed mar Keting as well? It works both ways We would continue to sell on every advance along here. and would wait for a sub stantial break before buying again, The market is getting long and is more likely to get unsettled than have much of an advance about IA cents at the moment. bulge.

WALL STREET REVIEW
FURTHER IMPROVEMENT
 SHOWN AT OPENING.
Gntest News Regarding the Coal Strike Situation Doubtless a Contributing Factor-Busi-
 ness Active.

! New York, Nov. 22.--Further improve ment was shown by the stock market at the opening, a number of active issues rising to higher level. The latest news regarding the coal strike situation was doubtless a contributing factor. Business was active and fairly well distributed with more covering by the short interest. Commission houses were prominent throughout the session. Moderate buying was reported for out of town accounts. St. Paul. the feature of yesterdays mar ket made an advance on heavy trading and tho Gould stocks were fractionally higher, with l per cent advance in I;enver and Rio Grande. Reading was active and strong, while a better tone was shown by New York Central, Illinois Central, Southern Pacific and Pennsyl- vana. Gains of 3Q3 Is points were reg
 istered by Delaware and Hudson and H.
 linois Central. Rock Island was firm on . Western buying orders. Sugar and the steel stocks were the conspicuous indus trials. Realizing in large volume wiped out some of the early gains, St. Paul and
 Illinois Central making material declines as did also Amalgamated Copper and several other issues. The list as whole was fairly strong especially the hard coal group and the Gould stocks There was also a smart advance in Minneapolis. St Paul and Sault Ste Marie preferred. Comparatively little was done in Man hattan and the other local fractions. For no apparent reason the market went off on the publication of what was regarded as a fairly good bank statement and the closing was generally below yesterdays final prices. Save in the matter of loans where q greater decrease was looked for the bank statement about met popular expectation. The comparatively small contraction of loans was due, it Is thought, to the fact that much of the money called in by the banks during the early week was re-loaned later. The of loans now outstanding is $S6S, ,000 GOO or about $19,000,000 less than when the last slump in the market be- gun. The sub-treasury made another transfer of $250,000 to San Francisco and $150. .000000 to New Orleans.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
mECLGNE AT OPENING UNDER
 ADVERSE CABLES.
Light Estimates on Houston Re- seipts Cause Upward Turn. Commission Houses and the
 South Show up as Buyers.
-

Jew York Nov 22.-The cotton opened steady at a decline of 2d5 points, chiefly
 under adverse cables. These were ex- pected to be points lower to match our
 closing of yesterday, but the Liverpool market finished at net loss of 46D4 1-2 points. The early weakness here was also to some extent due to bearish wealth CT news. Receipts are light and trade prospects are regarded as generally fa- vorable. Predictions point to a very heavy export during December. Light estimates on Houston receipts turned our market soon after the opening call, when covering became very heavy and invest ment demand was also large, absorbing the offerings which were chiefly the re- suit of a disposition to secure profits ac- cumulated on the late rise. The South and commission houses were particularly heavy buyers around the opening, giving preference to March, May and July. Pri- vate advices from the South indicate that spot cotton is still very firmly held with exporters and spinners in competi- ton for supplies. Wall Street was a considerable buyer in general way this morning. The underlying bull influence is the expectation of a strong bureau re- port December 3. F

New York, Nov. 22.-Cables were some what disappointing today and decline of points in the Liverpool market was presumed to be due to manipulation from this side. The ChronRcle's weekly sum mary was without special feature. The statistical situation generally is bullish
 Receipts are decidedly disappointing to bears who calculated on a continuance of the heavy movement The chief occupa- tion of shorts at the present time is to dwell on white fields phenomenal top growth scarcity of cars and impossible roads. The most astute statisticians fail to see anything but small crop when it is remembered that the record for a series of years shows half the crop in the first week in December. Early prices were 8 points lower. Commission houses as a rule availed themselves of the lower level by buying. There is general disposition to support the market on all breaks especially since we shall soon have a

There must also be a delivery.
To constitute valid delivery of a deed,
there must be an intention of the grantor
to pass the deed from his possession and
beyond his control and he must actually
do so with the intent that the deed shall
be taken by the grantee or by some one
for him. Whether such intent existed is
a question for the jury
When a deed properly executed is
found in the possession of some person
other than the maker, the law presumes
that the deed was Intentionally delivered
to such person for the grantee. This
presumption may be rebutted by show
ing that the deed passed from the maker
by accident, fraud or mistake.
