STOCKS. AND BONDS.

New York, Sept. 23.-The stock mar
ket was subjected to drastic liquidation.
today and spectators OF all classes from
the smallest to the greatest threw over
their holdings with increasing signs of
disorder. There were a few pauses in
the activity of the selling, but whenever
in the fear that they were over extend
ing their short account, it proved SO easy
to get stocks that the Offering down OF
prices was constantly renewed with q
constant uncovering of fresh stop loss
orders which tumbled stocks upon the
market in heavy volumes. The closing
was furiously active and with prices still
pursuing a rapidly downward course The
growing difficulty CT borrowing money to
carry speculative holdings Of stocks on
margin was the root of the trouble. Yes
tcrday's moderate calling of loans by
the banks instead of relieving the trou-
blc, seemed to aggravate it. The dis
:urbance of the money market was due
in some part to the operation of the
forces of relief which were through new
ard unaccustomed channels. Thus the
high rate for money resulting from yes
terday's loan contraction offered an in
wiling opportunity Tor all VINO mad avail
able deposits in the banks to draw out
their deposits and replace them on loan
in the stock market. The deposits with
drawn from the banks to be loaned had
to he replaced by heavy calling of loans
ut out by the banks This shifting pro-
cess was largely responsible for con-
tinual nurries in money The sentiment
in the street was decidedly upset by the
conviction that no relief is Immediately
available for the stringent condition of
tho supply OF money. 1t was noticeable
also that the sterling exchange rate
failed to yield to any material extent.
The jump in the prices OF wheat and cot
ton has checked the export buying land
the making of exchange. Private dis
count in London rose above the bank
rate today and it is generally expected
that the bank rate will be dyanced to
per cent on Thursday and such other OBJ
siares interposed to the movement OF
gold to New York AS are possible. The
amount of commissions cxacted by hrok-
.. crs for time loans are growing and there
are COMPLAINTS of scarcity in other de-
rartnents of the money department

vantage of the high ruling rate for cali
loans The considerable shrinkage to-
day in the prices of securities involved
calls for additional collateral on loans
which was further factor in the pres
sure in the money market. The conf
dence in values which has been so per-
sistently maintained received a decloed
setback in face of this combination OF
circumstances. AT least one powerful
speculative combination liquidated ac-
counts to the extent of between oo,ooo
and 100000 shares of various stocks, most
largely of Missouri Pacific. One OF the
most important mainstays OF thee recent
market was thus withdrawn. An opening
lift of two points in ST. Paul was the
only important attempt to contest the
declining tendency from the start. Last
prices show that the most important

Viewing the whole thing from the stand

otherwise Above all things needed IN
North Carolina among politicians is TO

Mr. Maddry is an energetic, reliable
newspaper man, and it gives me pleasure
to testify that his report of the Saturday
convention does not cause me TO change

New high records were made in nearly
all options this morning when January
cotton sold for less than 10 points from
cents a pound, and March sold at S. 6S,
or 4 points over the previous high price
Of the movement Trading was heavy
with thousands of bales of cotton chang
ing hands in single lots. One broker
sold between 10000 and 10000 bales OF
December cotton alone, and December is
regarded as one of the inactive months.
There were evidences of some inselling in
January as we'll as other months but
the demand was such as to keep the
tone firm in the extreme. March was
sold again in large blocks and this in
creased the premium on January. Once
yesterday the March discount amounted
to % points but for a much longer time
this morning, the difference remained at
"A and % points. The tendency is still
towards widening of March and Jan
nary difference and brokers are wonder
ing how long this can be maintained.
The market is broadening because gener-
al bull speculations is coming into cot
ton and the demand from this source will
for a time carry prices higher in all

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Sept. 23.-The cotton market
opened firm and six to seven points high
er. following the lead of Liver pool which
market was up some 315 to Az points
rs compared with an expected rise of
two points. Again Southern spot mar
kets were reported as firm with export
demand very large at full prices. The
receipts were Offset by this urgent in
quiry from the foreign spinner, and as
the crop in the central belt was suf-
fering from wind and rain the bulls did
rot hesitate to add to existing large long
accounts. The first furry of covering and
pull support carried January up to S.92
this being points above the previous
top figures and but s points from the
coveted nine cents. Trade was very ac-
tive all the early session with commits
SION houses free sellers to secure profits.
Later prices slowly settled back in the
absence of public support and under room
pressure of long cotton. There was a
break to SIS for January soon after mid
cay. the room finding the summary of
the weekly government crop weather re-
rort less unfavorable than anticipated
This slump was followed by a quick rise
10 S.S5 on general buying, based on
very urfavorable showing by the de-
tailed bureau statement. For the rest of
the session the market was very irregu-
lar with the clique apparently selling in
order TO shake out the smaller longs who
of late have tied on the bull movement.
] ate in the day the bull leaders 'pegged"
the market to $50 for January, allowing
it to neither rise above nor sell below
that figure. The close was steady with
prices not four to ten points lower. Total
sales estimated at $50 600 to 900 bales.
The bulk of tho trading was in January
and March contracts.

Should Put Up or Shut Up

Mr. Hasty, the postmaster of Monroe
continues to get himself into trouble.
Mr.. S. F. Gardner, of Charlotte, has sued
him for five thousand dollars for charging
him with insulting Mrs. Hasty. He has
been convicted before a magistrate on a
charge of assaulting Mr.. Gardner. Now
he is charging that a political enemy in
Monroe has entered into a scheme to
injure his standing as a Federal officer.
Insulting notes have been dropped into
the Dcstoffice of late, and it is these
that have again started the postmaster
on the warpath. The Monroe Enquirer
calls him down and demands that he give
the name of the man he accuses and not
make sweeping, indefinite charge
against all the Democrats of the town.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 23.-The mar
ket for spot cotton was very firm today
with hardening tendency. Quotations
unchanged.
The future market was moderately ac-
tive during the early forenoon. The open
ing gave promise of a brisk bit of. trad
ing but the initial gain of one to three
roints was followed by series of fiuctua
tions covering a range of but three to
five points up to IL a. m. The surpris-
irgly favorable character of the govern
ment's weekly crop report caused prices
TO sag off six to eight points and pro-
cuced a temporary panic among the bulls
who stampcded to cover. However the
market quickly regained its equilibrium
and settled down again to quiet conserva-
tive trading. At the close the board
showed net losses on the day of from
eight to nine points.
