According TO unofficial announcements,

veals a cash increase of only eAI4O OO0,
or less than half the FIRST naTnsd calcu-

week 30 that making allowances Tor the
average system and the remtttanceS
which come into the banks later In the
week the current abatement Is not 30 much
out of harmony as might be Judged at
first glance. The movement of currency
from the interior is now in full swing, and
unless all calculations are misleading, the
surplus of the New York banks will be
largely increased during the remainder
Of this month and probably all Of next.
IT Is interesting to record the fact that
the banks gained from all SOURCES last
lections were nearly A,000O00. Reaenp-
tons Of currency are to be expected from
this time on at a maximum rate IS the
banks will be led to contract circulation
somewhat as the urgent need for It has
posed. The circulation Of the New York
banks show a small decrease this week
as contrasted with an almost uninterrupt-
ed expansion for months. The statement
shows a decrease of $4,000. in loans,
whereas an increase was looked for as q
result of the revival of speculation on the
exchange. The discrepancy win most
likely be corrected in next weeks exhibit
The decrease of $494,6O0 corresponds
closely with the changes brought about
by the decreased loans and the Increased

compares with So ,s5S, 40 for last year
and so ,39S, 800 in 1901. The average re-
serve Of ell the banks is now, 1857 per
cent or about 2-S per cent above legal
requirements. The statement as a whole
is favorable but taking the changes Of
individual banks, 1t Is rather complicat-
ed. One large institution, for instance
reports a gain OF $500. 900 in specie, which
Is more than the total increase in cash
by all the banks for the week. It will be
remembered that a single institution re-
ported a similar gain in cash. The money
market, as a result of the return OF the
money from the interior shows increas-
for anything different in the near future
at least.

New York Cotton Futures.
Local Cotton Market.
q. M. Scale 8 CO.'S Cotton Letter.


IBy Special Leased wira.l
New York, Jan. 10-Those who are Ia
miliar with cotton know that it's not
particularly interesting affair. A pit sur
rounded by railway with raised steps
surrounding the ring. Brokers are here
from ten to three to execute orders 1t
seems to be simply buying and selling
most of the time without much signif-
canoe behind the operators. But yester-
day we would have been glad to have a
larger gallery watching the pit. 1t was
like q real battle, a fight. contest, a
struggle. Brokers supposed to operate for
the erstwhile bull clique now turned bear,
sold thousands of bales. and brokers for
Philadelphia and other exporters took
the cotton. The stun came out in blocks
Of 1000 and 5000 bales at clip and the
a show OF feeling that sent a thrill over
spectators. 1t was just before the close
that one broker offered 5000 May at IS
and a spinner took the block without q
day and. more this morning. The bear
bulletins coming from the Wall Street
mandatory were so frequent that many
believe more cotton has been sold than
can be easily covered. The real situation
has not been as bullish this season. Just
glance at the figures moment: The in
sight figures show only $1,000 bales over
last year and the crop proved 1O,700, 600.
The worlds visible is $4,000 bales less
than last year. while consumption is
about the same, interior stocks are $780,
900 bales less than last year and less than
for four years back. Liverpool stocks
are $4,000 bales less than in 1901. when
there was almost famine abroad. And
still the looked-for movement does not
come. We are free to admit that the bear
hammering at present is an important
factor but before long 1t may prove the
biggest bull card Of the season. There il
big contest on and the former bull
leader is doing his best to break the
market to get his short cotton. January
make up by selling for a break. There
will be trouble ahead for shorts unless
the movement shows up better in a very
few days. We would continue to buy
moderately. II the ma cket starts up
and a quick one.
