BALTIMokE PROVISIONS
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 25.-The stock mar
ket was inactive and generally higher
al today's opening, but later relap3od
into extreme dizziness and failed to make
any response to the very favorable bank
statement In the early operation cd
vances were scored by Baltimore and
Ohio, Atchison. ST. Paul, Reading, Nor
folk and Western, Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific, Wi as by Colorado
Fuel and Iron and Amalgamated Copper
Elsewhere the list displayed little ANNA
ton and no material changes. The Gould
stocks later became feature by reason
of their strength and there was some
good buying of Texas Pacific. Wabash.
common, and st. Louis Southwestern.
The dealings in Colorado Fuel gave rise
to reports of competitive buying, and
that stock was again the feature of the
day in point of activity, though it closed
with a fractional loss
Improvement shown by Canadian Pa
cific was due to increased earnings. I'd
Chesapeake and Ohio held steady in
spite of an adverse showing. The
strength of cotton oil resulted from the
belief that :, consolidation with any
kindred company would be of great
benefit to it. Only the most favorable
comment was heard regarding the bank
statement and traders were at a loss 70
account for the selling movement which
set in with it's publication The state
mont was regarded as a very correct
exposition of local financial conditions
The gain in cash was fully up to ex-
pectations, but the loan increase came
as a surprise and was doubtless due to
some of the weeks syndicate operations
The increase of over $12,000000 III SIR
plus reserves was especially gratifying,
and liabilities of the Associated Banks
proved to be within $6,000000 of their
resources. The market closed somewhat
unsettled and very dull. Net changes
showed Improvement over the previous
day but with the exception of the move
ments in the special class, this INCLUDING
Colorado Fuel. Consolidated Gas, North
American. and New York Airbrake,
gains were chiefly fractional. The day :
business was barely in excess of 200
OOO shares. Sterling Exchange was
quoted at a slightly higher figure, but
no Importance was attached to this Tea =
ture The nominal rate for call money
was 21k per cent. The Sub-treasury paid
out 500, 900 for account of San Fran
cisco and received the same amount tcl
transfer to. New Orleans.
Railroad bonds were considerably Tess
active and showed decided 'rreguiarity

New Yerk, Oct. 25.-The cotton mar

prove after. the call on fairly ective
general buying in which the shorts and
Wall Street bulls figured conspicuously
The influences at work were very con-
flicting, the weather reports being ideal,
the Liverpool cables being not Up TO
expectations. and the public operations
being of a hesitant character. Tn the
other hand. receipts were again very
light at the interior towns. The trade
was influenced chiefly by the light move
ment. the idea beng that it reflected
q short crop. The bears attributed the
shortage to the presence of every avail
able man in the fields in order to take
weather South, leaving the ginning,
baling and marketing of the crop to
later date when conditions might not be
so favorable. The weather trade re-
ports were fairly encouraging and the
market news from Fall River was in
dicative of good trade during the fall
and winter months. The Soutl. and Eu-
rope were buyrs of the winter months
in the local market after the call and

covered up in anticipation of further rise

The Chronicle weekly report was con-
sidered bearish. the weather having been
favorable not only for picking but for
the development of new growth. This
caused decline of one point in Liver
pool, but our market was in no condi-
tion TO respond on account of the large
short interests which has recently ac-
cumulated and especially as there is
little weak long cotton being carried
speculatiVely. Indeed the technical con-
dtion of the market was never healthier,
while the statistical position is gaining
strength every day and if the statistical
developments of the past fortnight are
any indication of what is going to hap
pen the figures will be extremely bullish
within thirty days. So that we adhere
to our belief in purchases on every de-
cline.
