STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 3.-Today's market was
narrow and dull and was largely confined
to professional operations. The move
ment was decidedly irregular, especially
at the close. when some OF the leading
stocks ran up to the top level OF the day,
rotablv st. Paul and New York Cen
trail. while others ran off to the lowest,
Erie and Missouri Pacific being consplc-
nous. The lone was somewhat unsettled
throughout. London's influence caused
the opening decline and an effective rally
was lest on the appearance OF the BANK
statement. The decrease in the loan was
satisfactory in view Of the heavy require
ncnts of the October first settlements and
the steel conversion syndicate needs, but
the decrease in cash of 81, 1854, 500 dlsap-
nointed cancellations. This item, however,
was complicated by the cash dividend
of the National Bank OF Com
merce in the adjustment Of its merger with
the Western National Bank. The market
rallied we'll md closed irregular, as above
indicated. There was evidence OF some

Review Of Trade Conditions--The reports Re
ceived are Encouraging.
(By the Associated Press.)

- 49, -
New York, Oct. Pr. @. Dun & Com
pany's weekly review Of trade tomorrow
will say:
Aside from the reduction in blast fur.
naces activity. manufacturing plants are
more fully engaged, and several encourag-
ing reports are received, particularly a.
to footwear. Wholesale and jobbing trade
is we'll ined, many cities reporting
a larger volume than last year. and bus
mess at Chicago is stimulated by the mul.
tltude attending the centennial. Later the
returns Of foreign m at this port
are favorable, exports increasing. while
imports decrease as compared with the
same week last year. Railway earnings
thus far available fcr eptember exceed
those of 1902 by "a per cent. and surpass
earnings in 1901 by 1913 per cent.
tt is particularly certain that a reduc-
ton of pig iron output Will be made, av-
eraging about twenty per cent, and this
concerted action to prevent accumulation
of stocks has already had a sentimental
effect on the market, inquiries increasing
in number and extent of tonnage.
Dry goods markets present no new fea-
lures. Production increases as the mills
are able to secure cotton, and there IS IN
impression that stocks will soon be so low
that purchases will be compulsory.
Failures this week number 226 agains;
POT corresponding week last year.

A Healthy Condition in Baltimore.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

Baltimore, Oct. 2.-There was 40 dis
turbance in financial circles here today
over the announcement that the well
known banking houses of j. William Mid
dendorf & Company, and John L. VIII
liams e Sons, had asked creditors for an
extension of time. After the first surprise
was over there was evidence on all sides
that the local financial situation was in
a healthy condition. Leading bankers and
brokers were ready to lend helping hands
to prevent any temporary unsettlement
of the market from going too far, but this
was unnecessary. There were reports on

Cotton 0ttGg

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 3.-The report today
sustained all that has been said about
crop deterioration this month, We do not
doubt that many have made light of the
damage and SAID reports were all exagger
alton. In view of the decliLe of 16 points
in condition, or the most extensive de
cline IL a great many years, in view of the
l~ateness of the crop and the needs of the
world. we do not believe in shorting cot
ton for the time being. The condition OF
Texas is 81, as compared with AZ last year
AS soon as the condition of the crop be
comes generally known, we are inclined
to look for more buying by consumers. 1t
is hard to see just how spinners will dare
to remain out of the market on such a re
port as this They have no cotton on
hand and will not be disposed to let for
eigners get all the cotton. After last
years experience, it would not be policy
to defer buying until prices are higher
Some cotton will be bought now. Probably
a lot, possibly such buying as would run
in a large number of shorts. The market
is oyersold and this may cause an advance
later on. If one cannot buy moderately
on a decline. the situation does not seem
such as to warrant short selling. It will
be too dangerous, with the crop going
back every day. Or the report there was
some short covering today. and the most
conservative traders in the market We're
more inclined to buy than to sell cotton.
Of course the situation is very complicat-
ed, but crop prospects furnish no evi
denceS Of over production and we will have
too much cotton this year.
