and prices went up very rapidly be-
tween Thanksgiving and Christmas.
AS long as Liverpool keeps so strong
there will be no chance of a set back
here. We do not look for any before
the government report, at any rate.
Next week we have both the census
and the usual Dec. 8 estimate by the
Department of Agriculture. These re-
ports are expected to be bullish. Upon
the degree of this bullishness will de-
pend the next move in prices. We
continue to believe the cotton crop
will be most disaster and in much
higher prices later on. But we believe
just as firmly in the advisability of
taking profits on these up turns and
evening up pretty we'll before the bu-
reau. That policy always pays in the
long run and losses made the other
way are sometimes heavy. There is
nothing in the cotton situation to
make one sell short. Avoid that
side by all means. The crop move
ment promises to be ahead of last
year by Dec. Is.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 2S.-There was moth
ing representative of influential finan-
cal sentiment in to-day'S dull stock
market, the dealings being confined to
small operations by room traders. The
minor industrials were relieved from
the severe pressure to which they have
been recently subjected, and were in
clined to rebound, gains of a point or
upwards being the result in a number
of cases.
The general list failed to respond to
this influence, and there was a dispo-
sition to sell following the appearance
of the bank statement, which was fav-
CRADLE. This movement was trivial, as
were the others, and the market closed
firm at a recovery and not far from
last nights level in any case.
The gain in cash by the banks was
about half what was estimated, but
the decline in deposit liabilities was
affected by the loan contraction Of &c.,
1914 800, The resulting decrease of ST.
445, $50 in the reserve requirement help
ed out the surplus to that extent, bring
ing the increase in that item to ST.,

legal reserve at $6,l25,200, compared
with S157S6,300 a year ago, and $13,-

steamship, and reports from London in

to arrive there next week will be en-
gagged in New York. The weekly bank
cIearings indicate that the shrinkage
from last years level is still confined
to the four large speculative centers in
the east, while the three largest cities
in the South and the other cities of
the whole country continue to show
clearings in excess of last year. The
tone of the weekly reports of the mer-
camille agencies was considered encour-
aging for the agricultural districts and
the mercantile and dstributive lines,
although the manufacturing and indus
trial branches are in a mood of dis
couragement

regular in harmony with the tightness
of the money market. United States

Epecial strength in the absence of

eased off a little after reaching the

through going he didn't have very much
machinery inside of him, nearly all
gouged out by the fork tines, but it
didn't damage the fork much, so it
wasn't total loss.
