STOCKS BECAME VIOLENTLY ACTIVE UnfavorabIe Bank Statement
 Was the Signal STEEL AGAIN A FEATURE Volume of Dealings In Securities Has Not Risen to Maximum of Pres
 ent Movement During
 the Week
STEEL AGAIN A FEATURE

New York, October 1.-The stock mar ket gave another demonstration of It's absorbtive power today. The movement of prices was rather commonplace, but the volume of the transactions and the wide distribution of business throughout the market gave evidence of vitality greater than at any time during the week. The appearance of the unfavora- ble bank statement was the signal for an outburst for violent activity and com prehensive advance in prices The loss in cash was not so great as foreshadow- ed by the weeks outgo. but the loan expansion kept up the deposit item and the reserve requirement. so that the level of the surplus declined some s6,659,10o.
 But sterling exchange was weak again and the supply of cotton bills has be- come so abundant. supplemented by the supply of exchange made by London's buying of stocks here that an inward movement of gold at an early date seems highly probable. The growing ease of the London money market will add to this probaD.uty. United States Steel prefer red was again the feature of the mar
 
 ket and the placing of bets that the mortgage bonds was evidently intended to convey the impression that the con- version of preferred stock into these bonds were in course of resumption.
 Another jump in Northern Securities on the curb also kept alive the im- pression that a settlement of the conflict amongst the leading interests in that company was in process of adjustment Profit taking was in evidence at various times but the demand was sufficient to absorb 1t readily. Growing confidence in the general industrial and business out look played it's part in the broadening and strengthening market. Total sales of bonds, par value, $20S0,000.
 The volume O.. the dealings in securi- ties has not risen to the maximum of the present movement during the week, but nevertheless a broad and active mar ket prevailed The price movement has been irregular and at times reactionary, giving an impression of the level of values to a lower average. A closer analysis, however, reveals that prices are rather higher, if anything, than at the close of last week. The rotation of the supporting tactics from one set of in- huential stocks to another has left some important groups unaffected, but the selling in some quarters in large volume has gone hand in hand in lifting others.
 The market has been comparatively free from disturbing factors in the way of news, and the strength has had the help of a continuous stream of rumors more or less plausible, but which have been conspicuously lacking in confirma- lion. The most persistent of these ru- mors have had to do with the great transcontinental group of railroads. Oc- casional meetings and consultations of controlling capitalists and the continu- ng arrival from vacation journeys of financial leaders were represented as in-

SOUTH WAS THE BUYER

New York. October 1.-The cotton mar ket opened easy in response to further de- cline in Liverpool at a loss of to 8 points. There was good demand from shorts on the additional decline but with the weather good, the weekend state ment showing a big accumulation in yis- ible supplies and a bearish bureau ex- pected on Monday plenty of cotton was for sale.
 Western interests and Wall street seemed the chief sellers, while the south apparently bought on the decline. Trad Ing was fairly active. Toward the middle of the morning a demand from shorts de- veloped and prices rallied from net loss of to 10 points about last nights fig ures.

Lovenan 6 Co.'s Market Letter.


 By H. & B. Beer.
 New Orleans, October 1.-Spot cotton and future contracts declined about SS per bale during the past week as a re- suit of exceptional fine growing crop weather and movement to market during the month of September that made the first months movement of this season the largest on record by 100000 bales, r. S62 600 vs. 1,256,000, the previous record of 1902, and thereby hangs tale. With the opening of the season one month ago the worlds visible supply of American cotton was 4S, 900 bales less than last year. 469 9OO0 compared with 5l70O0 one year ago. There is now in excess of 43oOOO when compared with last years visible. The reversing of the statistical position of staple was the cause of its decline in Value During the past week the weather has been so extremely favorable Tor the development that traders are anticlpat- ing an increase in crop estimate in the very near future, crop accounts haVlhg become more favorable and the first pick ing is said to be turning out better than expected. To substantiate such claims for record yield an unusual hlgn octo~ Der condition report must be the pulle- tin of the government leaning towaras the smaller figure although generally
  figured TIT as the index to what the government report might be. Not such a high condition is expected, however, as an average that high would have re- fected in a lower market than was ex- perienced at the close of the present week The bureau Monday will compare with a condition of S4.1 last month, with 65.l last October. with 5S.3 year before ano with ten-year average of 67.4 Liverpoo and trade in general Is taking unfavora' ble view of the situation, Heavy re- ceipts are due shortly at tl.e English port the amount ahoat from the United States for Liverpool being 2S5,000 vs. Sl0O0 last year and 154,OO0 year before. A prominent English firm cabled the opinion that the market would decline further in conse- quence of an insufficient demand for tho heavy arrivals expected, this on account of more favorable crop weather in tho south and expectations for increasing tho crop estimates as a result of same. Large stocks at leading southern spot markets New Orleans, Galveston, Savannah ant Houston 352, y53 bales, compared with 157 69S last year are having an unfaYorablt effect on values of actual cotton in th' absence of an urgent demand.

co,hr,n & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

Cable opinions from Liverpool express ed different views, some believing prices were low enough for the present and unless the bureau should prove very bearish an improvement would be seen; others expecting the heavy receipts and probability of revisions of small crop estimates on account of improved weath- CT would cause declines. As a result of their short sessions, trading, options lost to points and spots points on sales of 5000 bales.
 Around present prices a slightly im- proved spot demand is noticeable. and although nearly all other factors were bearish the selling pressure became less, and an improvement in the character of buying was observed. At the lower levels resistance to further declines was ap- parent. and selling became less aggres- sive resulting in a small reaction.
 The vis.ole supply statement was quite

dicating the development of plans to be worked out for the benefit of the rela- tions of different properties
 Rumors have uniformly pointed to the revival of the old plan of community of interest in the transcontinental railroad field, which the declared illegality of the Northern Securities company and the subsequent dispute over the distribution of it's assets as affecting the control of the Northern Pacific had destroyed. The power for mischief to the stock market of this unsettled dispute Is never entirely lost sight of, and a supposed prospect of it's settlement is calculated to stimulate the market at any stage
 Bonos have moved irregularly in sym pathy with stocks. U. s. 2s. the 3s and old As have advanced h and the new 4s have declined 1s per cent on call since last week.
