YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET
Submerged Aga.n Under Doiuge of steei
 stocks. 5

New York, Nov 6,-The stock market
 was submerged again to-day under a
 deluge of United States Steel stocks.
 The general list, however, responded
 much less readily to the depressing in-
 fiuence of the steel liquidation than was the case yesterday. Whenever the se-
 were pressure on the steel stocks was suspended, as happened at intervals, the railroad stocks rallied easily, so
 that their level of prices was above last
 night for about as much of the time as it was below. The market closed in one of the intervals of the pressure on Steel, so that prices elsewhere were ris- ing and were we'll above last night Union Pacific and Pennsylvania show gains of a point on the day and a num- Der of the Ne wYork corporation stocks somewhat more. The early liquidation in the Steel shares was very violent as as shown by the fact that the sales of the preferred for the first hour alone were well above 100000 shares. It is not to be supposed that this enormous volume of dealings was wholly hquida- tion. Room professionals traded in and out of the stocks on a very large scale all day. It was said of one trader who was very active in the stock all day that he was neither long nor short for more than ten minutes at a time while the aggregate of his individual dealings amounted to many thousand shares. The low price touched for the common stock was 1O1h, for the prefer nd n6 0 hnnde xaI atively greater weakness of the prefer red stock than the bonds was notice- able in view of the supposed conversion operation by the syndicate, which would involve the purchase of preferred stock for. conversion into bonds, which would in consequence be for sale. The heavy selling of Steels was the expression of 8 fear that the announced cut of $4 per ! ton in the price of steel billets was a f preliminary to a reduction of prices of
 all the products and general process | of contraction throughout the trade. J There were some rather specific allega-
 tions also that some of the selling was
 traceable to sources from which it
 might be prompted by changes in the l executive department of the corpora-
 tion. The stock market seemed to face
 with equanimity the prospect of another
 poor bank showing tomorrow. In ad-
 dition to the losses to the sub-treasury
 of $7O91, 900 the banks have made net
 shipments by direct express to the west
 and south of upwards of $3, 100000 The
 indicated cash decrease of over S10, ,O00,-
 900 is about equal to the surplus re-
 serves shown by the banks in last weeks statement. The stock market

PLANTS WITHOUT SOIL.
Experiments Successfully Carried Out
 .f1v German Professor.

Experiments Successfully Carried Out
 by German Professor.
 Tn his article on "The Scientist and the Food Problem in Harper's Mag azine, R. s. Baker tells of the remakr- able experiments of Professor Nobbe of Germany, by which barren soil is made productive by inoculating it with bac- teria.4.
 The greatst of all Professor Nobbe's work is his remarkable discovery of a method for inoculating the soil with bacteria to make it yield richly where it lay barren before. In times past investigators of soil and plant culture devoetd their attention largely to study ing the composition of various kinds of soil; improvement of fertilizers, and in suggesting new systems of drainage and water supply Professor Nobbe has gone a step farther in advance, de- claring that plans will grow under certain conditions, just as wei without soil as with soil. At first glance this may seem strange enough, yet here are trees from eight to ten inches in cir- conference at the base of the trunk, growing in clean water, without a sign of soil of any description. They stand in rows just back of the Forest acad- emy and near Professor Nobbe's green house. Each tree is suspended in a large glass jar surrounded by green painted case. When this case is open- ed one may look through the glass and see the roots of the tree hanging there in clean water. The oldest of the trees was planted, or rather the seed was immersed in water, in 1878, and it has grown to full size without even touch ing soil. Leaves and blossoms have come in the spring and in the winter the water and the roots have frozen sol i'd all these years, and the tree still thrives. Indeed, some of it's seeds were second generation have been grown to considerable size. Then their seeds were immersed, and there are now growing small trees three generations removed from the soil-certainly a clear proof of Professor Nobbe's assertion that actual contact with soil is not es- sential for plant growth. In order to produce such results, however, it was necessary to keep the trees supplied with artificial food. This Professor Nobbe prepared in his laboratory-a certain definite amount of chlorate oi potash, sulphate of magnesium, phos- phate of iron, phosphate of potassium and a nitrate. A small quantity of this mixture was dissolved in the water ot the jars every four weeks and thus the trees have been kept flourishing al these years, showing that there was nc growth that man could not manufacture ia will" --

community seemed to rest in sense of security that this threatening showing somehow would be averted from refiee- ton in to-morrow's bank statement as 1t was last week and for two weeks preceding. Further large shipments of currency were made to-day and the rate of call loans touched as high as 6 per cent. But sterling exchange fell weakly to as low as the low point of Monday. when gold was engaged in London and there can be no doubt that an inflow of gold would easily result from any additional pressure for money.
 The bond market continued dull but the price movement was irregular. Total sales par value were $2,4e7, ,00O.

THE EAST SIDE POINT OF VIEW.
 Many of us have come here from lands of darkness, oppression and per- secution. We have come here to seek the human rights that were denied us for centuries, to enjoy the bles- sings of freedom that we have so long lyearned for.
 and have undergone the trying ordeal of the process of Americanization, we should expect to find and to have what we have come in quest of. ! We are entitled to all the good that America stands for and has ever be- slowed upon it's citizens.
 The new life should mean a new duties should go our stern demand for all our rights. When we find that certain corrupt, dishonest, degrading 1 influences have entered the city to which we have come, it is our first duty to help stamp them out
 We have come here for freedom and equal rights, and that is what America stands for.
 When we find here Tammany Hall, there is but one thing for us to do- to help kill it.
 The rule of Tammany denies us equality before the law, makes us pay for our rights, keeps our children out of school, causes safety for our wives and children to be impossible, sur- rounds our lives with vile creatures and abhorrent conditions--restores to us the conditions that we have left in Rus sia.
 | Do you want to go back to Russia? | Have we not had enough of such con- ditions? Do you want government to stand for bribery? Do you want to pay with your life blood for every right that is given you? Do you want to live in constant peril? Do you want blackguards to deal out justice to you?
 Do you want to go back to Russia?
 Then vote for Tammany Hall, and many of the evils that you ran away from will be surely restored to you.
 But if you want the rights that you have come to seek in America; if you want schools and backgrounds for iiyour children; if you want protection
 for your wives and daughters; if you
 want clean streets and healthy homes; If you want all the blessings of Amer
 ican freedom, then raise your voice
 against the pest of Tammany Hall
 and vote for the continuance of the
 presetn administra ation.-Jewish World.

The spot cotton market was quiet

downward trend of futures and unfav-

tons reduced u on all grades.
Futures at the opening were II to IA
points lower than Saturdays close,

rains in Texas were reported to have
done some damage to cotton but this
had no influence on the market. High

Baxter and Co... Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. 5.-Judging by Liver
pool cables the cotton trade there were
not taking a very bullish view of Sat-
urday's bureau report. Early advances
from there showing only a slight gain.
There was rather too much rain in the
southwest to-day. Receipts were
again very full but inasmuch as they
are so far behind no concern is felt by
bulls on this score. There will be
ample time when receipts catch up to
last year. Some hesitation is display
ed about adopting an aggressive stand
on the long side because of bear efforts
to make crop of over 1000, 900 bales
over last year indicated by the bureau
report. This is simply absurd and the
work of shorts. The fact is, that the
crop is so poor and so late that the
yield cannot be increased by statis-
ticians alone and the indications now
are that the crop will prove much near
er 100000 than $1,000, 900 as bears con-
tend. Reports of heavy rains in North
Texas lead to feeble rally during the
forenoon but Liverpool continued to go
off, carrying weak local longs and be-
sides there was a good deal of selling
OF January against spot holdings. Port
receipts were heavy, especially at Gal
weston, Savannah and Wilmington, the
total being estimated at $4,000, against
49,500 last year. Gables closed 5 to 6
lower. Export houses were buyers of
near months. Estimates fer to-mor-
row: Houston, $4,000 to $4,000, against
23426 last year; New Orleans, 10,500 to
1850, against. 2075S; Galveston, $4,000
to $4,000, against %, $50 last year.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 5.--To-days stock
market dropped into a professional rut
and there was a shrinkage in the deal
ings to about half the recent daily
average. The movement of prices was
exceedingly sluggish 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 renewal of the late
urgent liquidation, such as kept senti-
ment unsettled and nervous until the
bankers support turned the market.
But the recovery from last Mondays
low level which has run from to 5
points for many of the most prominent
stocks, seemed to measure the recuper
alive power of the market for the
present.
The news of to-day was rather fav-
orable than otherwise, but there was
very little of it bearing on security
values. Tomorrow is the day set for
action on the devidend on United
States Steel common. Offers were
made in the curb market to-day Of
the prospect dividend at a fraction Of
] per cent. Reports from London that
GT, 100000 were afioat for that center
from India and Africa were a reas-
surfing factor on the local money mar
ket, 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 frmer, but quotations for
loans on time were somewhat shaded.
The time money market, however. is
largely nominal, the demand being Ian

Ware & LeIand's Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct SIT looks as though
any one failing to short cotton had
made a mistake The market was
weak all day, and prices touched the
low point of the de0ine. Every one
will remember when October sold at
10. soc about five weeks ago. That was
imitation of the worst type. 1t begins
to look as though the present condi-
ton is depression. News from the
South was very bad again to-day, and
from all indications, cooler weather for
tomorrow. The crop is late and con-
ditions compare with mid-September
situation of an average year. For this
reason we are inclined to go slow on
the bear side. Those who are bearish,
base their views more on outside con-
ditions than on crop views. They think
the crop may turn out much below their
expectations, but the large movement
and the diminished buying power of
the American spinners, operates
against an advance in prices. There is
no doubt but that this, in great meas
ure is true. Finances in Wall street
and elsewhere are not brilliant. 9th
erwise the cotton market would be
very much higher. The cotton situa-
ton is more complicated than we have
ever known IT in years. Every one is
selling cotton for break, and yet, we
are not confident that this is a safe
thing to do after this decline. Prices
have now reached a point where great
care must be exercised.

guild and lenders still indisposed to
press funds upon borrowers, at cur
rent rates.
Wall street continues to puzzle itself
over the enormous loans disclosed by
the national banks, in the statement
of condition to the controller on Sept
9 last. The years expansion in loans
of upward of $2OO,Oe0,O00 with falling
off in deposits for the same period of
over 1000, 900, is the ground for some
uneasiness over the general situation.
This condition seems to point to a
conclusion that in spite of the enor-
nous liquidation there is still much
borrowed money tied up. In ihe case
of stocks which have been saved from
sacrifice by response to calls for mar
gins, the enormous decline in prices Of
securities, must, of course, have in
volved the placing Of very large addi-
tional funds. Stocks thus field through
a long decline are a threat hanging
over the market on any considerable
advance in prices. There was some
slight recover at different times, but
the demand was nothing more than
short covering and the closing was
heavy and nearly stagnant.

weak, but some of the higher grade
