 NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 26.-The cotton mar ket Is inclined to be in fickle mood and de- velopes contrary symptoms with startling yer satiity. Prices have taken sliding excursion notwithstanding that or nearly all regular fea- tures are constituted in such way as to fn- dicate dear market for the raw material for many days ahead. Crop reports of late have left many minds exceedingly doubtful about even moderate yield being made but the possibility of sudden outbreak of hostilities amongst European powers. the condition of finances and the rush of early pickings to mar ket i1 order to secure current quotations have evidently caused friends of the staple to re- solve upon A patient attitude until a sounder idea might be formed of the complicated sur roundings. These circumstances do not alter the fact, however. that spinners' stocks both of raw cotton and manufactured goods are abnormally small and the supply of raw cot ton is practically limited to this seasons pro- duction. The price is now down to basis that begins to be attractive as witnessed by the Southern mills takings and any further anxiety on the part of the farmer to market their cotton in the near future would 10 inn mediate appearances, present a favorable op- portunity for purchases of all kinds While 1t is true that trade conditions are inclined to execute retrograde movement and it does not at present appear likely that the worlds re- quirements of American cotton for the season will approach the maximum. There Is no as- surance that the yield will be adequate for

NEW YORK, Sept 26-The Financier this week says: One notable feature of the official statement of the New York Associated Banks last week the reduction of S5, oo9, co in the fortnight S9 535. 900. This largely the result of liquidation consequent upon the decline in the stock market, though, as noted in the previous week. the reduction in loans then was principally caused by operations in cldent to the pending merger of the National Bank of Commerce and the Western National Bank of the United States. The cash reserve last week decreased S63S GOO net. which amount Is considerably in excess of that es- timated under the basis of the traceable move ments of money. this estimate indicating gain of s 600. The loss of cash was chiefly caused by the drain of money to the South through treasury transfers to New Orleans and direct movements to the cotton ports. these transfers amounting for the week to S2 o0o 0Oo The receipts by the banks from nearby points caused principally by the return of funds which had been withdrawn for the labor day holiday use, nearly offset the shipments to other parts of the country and it is noteworthy that the movement of the grain sections quite small. refiectng the tardy distribution of these crops. The deposits decreased SS, 37,-
 100, which sum Is greater by S2.4eo,4oo than that called for by the reduction fin loans and the loss of cash therefore the statement Is technically out of proof. The required reserve was reduced S2. o34. 275, through the decrease in deposits and deducting therefrom the net loss In cash leaves Sl,le5. 655 the increase in surplus reserve, which now is SI4, 596, 300: calculated upon the basis of deposits. less those of S3S, 932. 800 public funds, the surplus Is SPA, BOP, 800.

 NEW YORK. Sept. 26.-The feature of the day was the decline abroad. This could be and was generally assigned to the offerings of Southern cotton in Liverpool. We have now reached the time of year when buyers of fu- lures are face to face with cotton, actual cot ton. offered by the grower. Heretofore it has been contract paper cotton. But now there Is the new crop available in larger and larger quantities and this will make A very different sort of a market. Advances will not be as easy 1nder changed conditions unless warranted by facts. The price will be more the result of ac- tual supply and demand. If the cotton is not there and there Is a big demand prices will not go much lower. If the cotton is there and no demand to equal to prices will work lower For the moment the situation Is perplexing in the extreme as prices have declined a cent pound and crop news is not as good as a month ago. The report is likely to show a heavy loss in condition and with any improve ment in Wall Street this will bring in shorts and preevnt lower prices The market should not weaken very much below oA cents before the October report. On the other hand lot Of cotton covered by shorts below oh cents will be put out again on any advance and this will tend to keep the market narrow We would continue a very cautious policy on both Eides of the market.

 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 26-As LiyerpooI edvices were discouraging, our market opened fmo points lower on the near months and de- ciined 3@b on the later positions; subsequently, the expectation of favorable weather through out the belt over Sunday. the anticipation of DOT weekly weather report being issued Tues day, the near approach of the monthly bureau and better demand for spots at the decline caused fresh buying, which occasioned an ad- vance of e@t4 points from the bottom, making the net gain points on September and 4@6 on the other months. The total visible supply week. against an increase of 235, GOO last wear Of this the American increased I6i GOO against an increase of 24o, 900 last year. The sesregate visible supply of all kinds is now which the total American is 6o3 ooo against l,3i 900 last year. The thirty leading in- terior towns received ils.ooo during the week. American ashore and afioat to LiverpooI ia ,ooo against 90 .o00 last year and oI5.- ooo year before last. The spinners' takings of American cotton by the world during the past week were 96. GOO. against Ile ooo last year and the total takings from Sept st to date has been 36o. 900. against 423,ooo last wear. The policy inausurated by spinners some ten weeks back to restrict their consumption is stiil In force and is likely to continue until there Is legitimate working basis estab- lsned. The heavy premium which formerly ex- isted on the current months has been cut down considerably. and ss we will soon be on an october level the chances are there will shortly be an improved demand for spots The weath. CT. however. continues generally favorable over the South. but the predictions are for un- settfed weather and probably showers over the greater portion of the district tonight and Sunday. While there is slack demand for spots and receipts are increasing in volume. these features are apparently ignored because it is evident that the great majority of the trade are working for sharp reaction. This season Is certainly remarkable one fin that respect as every one seems to be in favor of srtlcie The legitimate features of supply and demand will ultimately regulate yaiies. but for the present with the optimistic sentiment prevaent any encouraging factor will superin- duce further Enhancement
