cothran 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

By Ware x Leland.
 New York, october 3O.-London was heavy on fears that the banks would lose gold to New York A selling move ment in stees at the start was the fea- ture, it being reported that a strike would take place among iron workers and there was a well developed break in Soo pre- ferred with Canadian Pacific working off The grangers were easy, but good buy ing was noticeable in Missouri Pacific Good judges of the market sent out bull ish opinions on the standard stocks, but were not at all favorable to the indus trials, while the professional element were very bearish in their views, due to the banks having lost over s13,000,000 for the week through sub-treasury operations and direct currency shipments. Call money held stiff at per cent A. c. P. displayed some strength but that there was selling in T. c. l. and Pressed Steel. it being a matter of liquidation. largely in the latter on the unfavorable outlook. Very little interest in St. Paul, but the stock changed but a very little. Senti- ment was bullish on the fractions, D. k. r. especially, as it was thought that af- ter the November election more activity will be witnessed in the shares. No new features of interest developed during the afternoon and the market was extreme lv dull. Late in the session there was heavy selling of steels by a prominent commission house and the market closed easv with the exception of fractions that were strong on a belief that Tammany uould win out next Tuesday It was very dull day and in view of the expla- nation of a very unfavorable bank state ment operators held off and the closing was tame.

The lower opening was caused by the course of the Liverpoo, market which did not respond to the course of prices in the American markets yesterday The course of prices today showed that the bulls have the situation well in hand and that they will be able to send prices well mp toward fifteen cents, even if the movement does continne heavy Many bulls believe that cotton will go to fifteen cents before the season is over In the trading during the after noon there was a slight shifting of yal,,es some positions closing at the highest fig ures of the day, while others lost from 9 to points. the net gains being October IA. months from November to April inclusive 12 each, May II.

STOCK MARKET
 SUFFERS SLUMP Operators Are Lacking in Cour-
 age to Buy SALES AMOUNT TO l65,0OO Days Price Changes Are Wholly With x out Significance Except for Drag aina Tendency in iron and Steel industrials.

New York october 3o-Today's stock market gave. a striking exhibition or the newly acquired tendency towaros oeciiil- ing to trade in the face of unIaVorapie developments. Confronted with ngures oil the weekly currency movement which ln- dicated a loss in cash by the banks aurins the week of from 13 to 15 million doliars' onerators in stocks were lacking in cour- age to buy. But the offers to sell were ai- most unappreciable As consequences the market fell into actual stagnauoh during the afternoon, and the aggregate dealings for the day feli to the smallest for the year. The whole number or shares sold during the day amounted to only loo'- 500. The days price changes were wholly without significance, except for the drag ging tendency in the iron and steel in- stocks, due to the unfavorable reports re- garding the trade. It appears from the weekly statements secured from bankers themselves, that the shipments of curren- cy by direct means has amounted to about as those through the subtreasury. The transfers through the government institu- ton were ss,475,OO The loss of subtreas- ury operations as a whole. including pay ments for new gold. was about s1,5OoOOO.
 The failure of last weeks bank state ment to reflect the large shipments to Baltimore and Pittsburg. leaves open the possibility that the effect will be thrown over into tomorrows bank statement. There has been no indication in the stock market of any liquidation If there has in fact been any loan contraction adequate to offset the heavy loss in cash, nothing has occurred on the surface of events to indicate It. The days money market was nevertheless tranquil, and the call loan rate did not rise about five per cent. In the time money market 5 per cent was bid for all periods, but very little was offered. The effect or our tightening money market passed by the cables to London this morning, and money and dis count rates hardened there. The rate for sterling steaded here this morning in consequence, but weakened again before the close.
 Next Monday is holiday in London and there will be no trading here on election day. the day following. This prospect of holiday interruptions. aggravated the indisposition to trade in stocks.
 Much attention was devoted to the plac- ing of wagers on the result of the coming election. The threatened extension of la- bor troubles among the structural iron and steel workers was an influence on stocks concerned in those trades. The re- cent average of activity in the bond mar ket was much curtailed, but the back-set In prices did not extend to the whole list.
 Total sales, par value, s1,710,000
 :, united States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

COTTON MARKET

CONSIDERABLE REALIZING

New York. October sO.-The cotton mar yet opened steady at an advance of l point to a decline of points, and ruled quiet for few minutes, with prices In some instances little lower under realiz- ing encouraged by the disappointing early cables and the prospect for very heavy receipts. When the weather forecast for the western belt reached the ring, how ever, there was a sudden change in the market, business becoming very active and excited. October, which had opened at 1007, sold up to 10. 26; December was rushed up from 10.20 to 1o.3s; January from 10.1l to 10.33, and March from lol4 to 1035 On the advance shorts covered freely, and one of the features was the heavy buying for certain bull leader, who is credited with having purchased 10000 January in single block The higher level attracted considerable realiz- ing and notwithstanding the bad weather outlook for over Sunday, there was heavy selling. Still the buying interest was well sustained and the market ruled firm dur- ing the balance of the session, with prices within a point or so of the best until near the close, when 1t eased off, and was finally barely steady, net to Il points higher. Sales were estimated at 7O0ooO bales The weather forecast calls TOT snows in the territories and frost over the western belt generally, with an area or disturbance extending pretty well over the entire belt. Another factor in the ad- vance was a bullish crop report by local newspaper, showing a decrease or apout per cent in the condition of the crop TOT the month, and an estimate Is made by a private statistician placing the yield at 10, 900, GOO bales.
 Port receipts turned out lower than es- timated, reaching 67,S21 bales, but exports were very heavy, no less than 7s72O bales being cleared, and the southern spot mar kets were generally firm, unchanged to "A higher. with the insight for the week exceeding recent estimates, reaching 7l6- 5e6 bales against 454372 bales last year.
