STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Oct 15-The professional
traders i'm stocks renewed their attempt
today to divorce the movement of the
railroad stocks from the depressing in
fluences now overhanging the Industrial
securities The effort met with rather
less success even than was the case yes
terday There was more business done
during the first hour IMAM at any other
time during the day. After that the mar
ket fell into neglect, owing to e evident
futl.ty of the efforts to attract buying
for tic railroads. There was no urgent or
general liquidation manifest, but the IN
dustrial securities continued to suffer in
spots. The reported disruption of the
Southern Pig Iron Association, a further
slight reduction in the price of Northern
pig iron and decline in the official price
of copper were pointed to as concrete evl-
dence of unfavorable trade conditions.
The renewed break in crucible steel pre-
fcrred at Pittsburg with the Official in
timat;on Of possible passage OF the div
idend, was another unfavorable factor. and
the explanation that this might be neces-
sary to carry the Clarion steel plant, the
sale of which to the United States Steel
Corporation has fallen through, gave an
impression of growing friction in the trade.
Operators in stocks also kept one eye on
the proceedings in the Shipbulding hear
ing all day. The poor market for indus
trials has Il serious effect upon their ac-
ceptability as collateral Some OF their
weakness il plainly due 10 the fact that
bankers are throwing them out of col
lateral for loans, owing to the unready
market that now exists for them. Anal
gamated Copper shared In the earl weak
ness OF this department., and made a new
low record There was an active specula-
ton in this stock, on its dividend chance.
But the announcement that the regular
dividend had been declared passed almost
unnoticed The declaration of an initial
dividend on Reading second preferred i'm
mediately following the hmalgamated an
nouncement, seemed to have cumulative
effect, and there was sharp scramble
amongst shorts to cover just at the last.
Norfolk and Western, Baltimore and Ohio
and Chesapeake and Ohio were exception
ally heavy in the railroad list, apparently
on the report of a reduction in freight
rates on soft coal to the seaboard. The
rumor that the Gould interests would ac-
quire the Seaboard Air Line possibly had

some influence also upon this group.
Money continued to work easier and sterl-
ing was inclined to harden, the cotton
bills in the market being insufficient to
supply the demmand for bills to cover ex-
change, sold previously.

to be heavy. Total sales (par value)

Ware &Leland'S
Cotton Letter.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 15.-Better prices
resulted today naturally from a more
bullish feeling in general, because of TIE
improving demand from splnners and
better eastern outlook. Port receipts for
the day were 47,2o6 bales, against 51,61l
bales last week, and Al, 400 bales last year.
Total exports amounted to 1921 bales.
The bullish spot market reports and the
disappointing receipts at the ports and in
terror towns were a big factor IN the
rise. Sully brokers were heavy buyers
throughout the advance, Mr.. Sully IN per-
son directing the buying. For time room
bears and Wall Street shorts fought the
rise, but later gave up the opposition In
view of the strong character of the bull
ing. We think prices will eventually go
very much higher, and advise buying on
all dips.

which are behind More or less irregular

in Southern goods, but in a good many

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Oct. 15.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of one
to four points and ruled generally steady
to firm during greater part of the session
on covering and bull support, which was
at first encouraged by the higher cables
apprehensions that the West Indian storm
might reach the cotton country and by
predictions that the cold weather in the
Northwest would work down into the
Western belt. AT first trading was very
quiet and prices after advancing to leve
about 5 to 6 points higher, showed some
little irregularity, but later the light est
mates for receipts at tomorrow's leading
points re-energized the bulls and prices
were forced rapidly upward, reaching a
level in the middle of the afternoon some
II to Is points higher. In the last hour
there was heavy realizing and the market
eased off some, but was finally very steady
net TO 10 points higher. Sales were re
ported of 100000 bales The continued
firmness of the Southern spot markets
which was generally unchanged to is
higher was pointed to as evidence that
spinners were becoming more active buy
ers, as was also the heavier spot sales re-
ported from Liverpool with the advance
in futures there said to result from bet
ter demand from spinners. The New Eng
land operator was one of the most prom
inent buyers locally and rumors were cir.
culating that certain Wall Street bear
interests was emptyng to cover, although
it was also reported that this party was
adding to his short lines on the advance
Private crop reports received had moro or
less of a bullish average, but the day s
receipts at the ports were heavier than
early estimated, reaching 4S,612 bales
against Al 400 last year, exports were
heavy, however, and assisted in the ad-
vance being reported at 46,421 bales, most
of which went to Great Britain. The of
fetal weather forecast called for colder
weather and more or less general show
ers.
