STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept. 23.-Trading in stocks
were more active today, although stlh
dull and the average level of prices ended
the day considerably lower than last
night There was no resiliency to the
market at any time and the only pause
in the downward tendency was an occa-
sional period of stagnation in the deal
ings The relief measure for the money
market announced by Secretary Shaw was
generally regarded in the financial dis
trict as a good assurance against money
stringency this fall during the crop
moving period and instead of stimulating
any buying of securities this was taken
advantage of to sell stocks. This fact
following the demonstration of the same
tendency yesterday when United States
Steel led a short lived advance served to
profoundly discourage the professional
operators in stocks. The offer by the
Secretary of the Treasury to anticipate
the redemption of the government 5's,
which mature next February offers 50
clear an advantage to holders that there
can be little doubt of it's general accept
ance. Only 100000 was deposited at the
sub Treasury today for transfer to New
Orleans, compared with yesterday
81 900, 600. But this brings the total
transfers to that point for the week thus
far up to 81 $50, 900, which is considerably
in excess of any full weeks transfers IN
that point in more than two years past.
Chicago exchange also fell to par today,
carving an intimation that the western
demand for currency, although belatcd
on account of the late corn and spring
wheat crops, is still to be reckoned with.
Sterling exchange continued firm and
offerings of cotton bills were scarce. The
principal weakness of the day was con-
centrated in a few stocks. New York
Central continued to suffer from the finan-
cial requirements to be faced. The South
ern Railway stocks were affected by I'M
favorable criticism of the showing OF
earnings in the annual renort. Much of
the selling of Baltimore and Ohio and
Pennsylvania was attributed to Phlladel-
phia ard Pittsburg account supposed to
be due TO the collapse of the Consolidated
Lake Superior Company and the growing
tendency towards recession in the iror
and steel markets The market closed
heavy at about the lowest.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 23.-The de-
mand for spot cotton continues to III
crease from day to day and prices de-
clning. Salee $500 bales. including 100
to arrive. Quotations reduced IS by the
exchange committee.
In the future market the bears were
again in control and hammered the
market down at their pleasure. The conn
try it is stated, is still offering cotton
slightly below quotations, consequently
are assisting the bears in sending prices
down. At the opening September was
nine points lower and the balance of the
list unchanged to three points lower.
The trend of prices was downward the
market closing within a point or two Of
the lowest level of the day. The net
losses were September As points; October
II, and other positions nine points each.

people holding the cotton were tired.
This has had a bad influence on sentiment
and is likely to have serious results on
the trade. The market Is compelled to
absorb not only all the cotton now COM
ing from the South but all the specula-
lively held stuff AS soon as Europe
learns that this cotton has been thrown
overheard and the South knows about it,
we may have more selling of the same
kind. Sentiment is quite apt to be ad-
versely influenced. For this reason many
who would ordinarily be buyers, are
doing nothing. Crop news IS very, very
bad. If it were not for the unsatsfac-
tory conditions outside the cotton sit
uation, we would be inclined to express
some very bullsh ideas on the cotton
market But this is just the season of
the year when the utmost conservatism
should prevail It may be that the crop
viii be much below requirements and yet
we can have a serious break between this
and the New Year. AS we stated last
week, factors are more perplexlng than
fol- months. The crop is not dong well
enough to make the trade bearish and
yet all outside factors are against bull
speculation. What is to be done under
the circumstances Prices are now around
9h cents, and long interest that was
menace to the market has been in
part, if not in a great measure, liquidated,
The crop is not out of danger from frost,
and the supply of cotton is small. On the
other hand. the movement is increasing
daily, and weak stock market and
declining steel industry, are not favoring
factors. 1t looks very much as though
the market would work lower. We would
continue very cautious policy on either
side

decline of points on early cables that
were little better than expected and
some buying by interests who were ap
prehensive as to the effect of the con
tinued low temperatures, the cotton mark
ct turned very weak and fairly active. OF
course as prices worked downward there
were intervals of profit taking by shorts
that impaired periods of steadiness and
brought about occasional rallies, but the
general tendency was downward, and the
low point of the session was just before
the close when the general list showed

but the market was finally barely steady

estimated at 100000 bales. The declining
tendency was started by the larger re-
ceipts. which early promised to equal last
years thought actual figures fell short OF
that, being about 1888 bales. against
1858 last year. In addition to the
heaviest movement, which was expected
TO depress the Southern spot markets
there was heavy selling for the account
of former prominent bull leader and
this was accompanied by rumors that this
party was unloading. Selling orders were
received also from outside sources and
the decline was accelerated still further
by the estimates for tomorrow's receipts
at leading points, showing a full continued
movement. The late weakness was en-
couraged by the break of "A points for
September in New Orleans, and by rumors
that from $4,000 to 10000 bales of cotton
were coming here by special train from
the South for delivery on September con-

WHERE BIG FISH ABOUND.
Island or the Texas COast That Ii
Very AIIurinE to Lovers
of Angling.

Lying broadside of the Texas coast.
and along the northwestern gulf line,
is st. Joseph Island. 1t is a spot to
which nature lures the fisherman on
idle, dreamy summer days, when sun
shine, eternal golden sunshine, is
everywhere, says the Four-Track
News
On one side the channel, as peaceful
shadows drift, casting lights of purple
and pink End blue; on the other. the
dashing, restless gulf, twinkling and
sparkling as though myriads of stars
were playing hide and seek among
its white caps.
If it is early in the morning, the
PASS is dotted with many small boats,
and little FISH are gamboling among
the waves, while porpoises sail by
with Independent indifference. Great
hocks of swift-winged sea birds skim
the waters. while storks, and cranes,
and the pink-plumaged flamingo, with
great numbers of smaller waders. are
eagerly devouring their morning meal
nearer the shore. The scene is full Of
wild, free life, together with the brac-
ing air and the pleasant odor from the
salt marshes.
