ACTIVITY REACHES THE BOILING POINT Trading Recalls the Days of
 Long Ago LARGE SALES RECORDED Movement Carried All Before It From Whatever Source It came-Tc-
 tai Sales, Par Value,
 $7,s55,ooo.
LARGE SALES RECORDED

New York, October 14-The activity of The stock market reached the boiling point today. and trading took on the appear ance of the great bull markets of a few years ago. It is highly probable that the sources of the buying have widened with the recent violent advances in the market and some outside participation may be thus represented.
 Commission houses through which this kind of business is usually transacted, however, report that their business Is still restricted. It is certain that very large transactions in today's market were executed by single houses buying orders for single firms running as high as 10000 shares of various stocks. The combined strength and special prominence of Peo- ple's Gas and Brooklyn Transit served to recall previous campaigns in these and other stocks which were favorites of the late ex-Governor Flower. The conviction was very general also that a veteran op- orator and turfman, who has long re- trained from leading operations in the market, was again conducting transac- tions on a large scale by very charac- teristic methods.
 The movement carried all before 1t from whatever sources it came, or for whatever motives. The list of separate issues dealt in was longer than at any time this year. The uneasiness which was caused yesterday by the comparative neglect of the railroad stocks, while low grade and unknown industrials and spe- cialties absorbed all speculative attention, was relieved today by the revived anima- tion of the standard railroad stocks Spe- cifc news had little to do with the days movement but a strong stimulation was given to the market by the unexpectedly large gain in cash promised by tomor rows bank statement. The transfers on balances by express to the interior have been so small this week that only an in- significant deduction has to be made from the amount yielded to the banks on sub treasury operations. which amounted to- R6,017 900.
 Call money in the governments income of revenue gives confidence that no call upon the national banks for deposits Is likely to be made. While the industrials and specialties maintained their new found prominence, the demand for the standard stocks was commensurate with their respective importance. Gains from list, and are much larger in specialties in the railroad and industrial list.
 Bonds were active and firm. Total sales, par value, $7,S55, 900. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

, ov.man S Co.'s Market Letter.

Liverpool, points down from the clos ing level of yesterday, was no worse than expected and the steadiness of the American markets in the early hours and bullish adviees from Manchester closed the English contract market about unchanged from last nights. The stead mess of American markets in the early morning was attributed to shorts cover ing and favorable cable advices. Official warning of a disturbance in the Cartb- bean sea, making it's way northward, n- duced shorts to accept profits in mod crate way, traders fearing torrential rains to come of the storm in the event Of It entering the United States by way of the southern states, where so much cotton is open in the fields. December opened at 986 and gradually worked up to 9.93. Firm ness of futures caused spot buyers to step about quickly, and 1t was hard matter to buy actual cotton at quotations holders, as a rule. demanding an advance of 1-16c, on which basis some business was put through.
 Outside support was lacking, however, and as port receipts for the day and weeks fin sight" was much heavier than any one looked for, the market gave way under pressure of offerings, December declining to 9.7S. steadying up in the af- ternoon, and closing at 9S349S4. The movement of cotton to market is so CO., lossal as to make traders ask themselves
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-10-15
cothran 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

The market has had quite an advance as well as decline this week. After touching 10 cents for December, during the latter part of last week, sharp re- action followed, during which December ran up to about 1035. Without any change in the cotton situation or a real reason for breaking, the market broke away until December sold yesterday at 10c, the same figures reached a week ago. From this 1t will be seen that the market has made very little, if any real progress, as result of the weeks business.
 Sentiment has at times been very much confused, as the south has refused to let go of cotton on a decline, and spinners do not appear as very vicious buyers on any advance over 10A cents.
 The underlying factor in the cotton sit uation which became evident last week, namely, that the southern grower has his own ideas of the value of cotton, and thus far neither the spinner nor the spec ulator has been able to convince him that his ideas are altoge.Aer wrong. have been intensified during the week and have at tained more general recognition.
 4 evidences of this. the movement has fallen off below last weeks figures and reports from all sections of the south show that cotton is difficult to buy at concessions in prices.
 Under these circumstances it is not un- reasonable to ask the causes for the ex- ceedingly irregular price movements talk ing place this week.
 Wheat-The trade in wheat today has been on a large scale and speculative shorts have been the best buyers of May, although the December kind has had the call and been taken by new investors. and this demand has been the real strength in the market. Outside markets have led us. The early trades were at about yesterdays close, and some fair selling on the part of local longs caused slight reaction. The strength came with heavy buying on the part of the larger com mission houses, anu this buying was kept up through the session. Much depends on the confirmation or the news from Ar genuine as to the course of our market as a great deal of wheat has been bought in anticipation of some serious accident to that crop,
