BALTIMORE PROVISIONS.
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Oct. 5.-Today's stock mark
ct dropped into a professional rut and
there was a shrinkage in the dealings to
about half the recent daily average. The
movement of prices was exceedingly slug
gish and showed little disposition to get
far from last weeks level. When the
failure of buying was perceived, the
traders sold the market, with the result
of slowly sagging prices all through the
early part of the day. There was no re
newal of the late urgent liquidation, such
as kept sentiment unsettled, and nervous
until the bankers support turned the
markets. But the recovery from last
Mondays low level, which has run from
three to five points for many of the
most prominent stocks seemed to measure
the recuperative power of the market for
the present. The news of today was rath-
er favorable than otherwise. but there
was very little of it bearing on security
values Tomorrow Is the day set for ac-
ton on the dividend of United States
Steel common. Offers were made in the
curb market today of the prospective d.
vidend at a fraction of one per cent.
Reports from London that seven million
pounds sterling were af1oat for that GEN.
ter, from India and Africa were a reas-
surfing factor on the local money market,
as it promises means to supply American
demand upon London for gold, should the
exigencies of the money market demand
it, Call money here was firmer, but quo
tations for loans on time were somewhat
shaded. The time money market, how.
ever, is largely nominal, the demand be-
ing languid, and lenders still indisposcd
to press funds upon borrowers at current
rates Wall Street continues to puzzle it.
self over the enormous gains disclosed by
the national banks, in the statement OF
condition to the comptroller on September
9th last The years expansion in loans
of upward of $500, 1000, 900 with falling
off in deposits FOR the same period of over
$40, 100000 is the ground for some uneasi-
ness over the general situation. This con-
dition seems to point to a conclusion that
in spite of the enormous liquidation there
is still much borrowed money tied up. In
the case of stocks, which have been saved
from sacrifice by response to calls for
margin, the enormus decline in price of
securities, must, of course, have involved
the placing of verv large additional funds.
Stocks thus held through a long decline
are threat hanging over the market, on
any considerable advance in prices. There
was some slight recovery at different
times, but the demand was nothing more

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 5.-The spot cot

transactions were below board figures, in

Futures at the opening were II to Il
points lower than Saturdays close caused
by disappointing Liverpool conditions, the

steady liquidation by longs set in which
