Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

New Orleans, October 11.-After advanc- ing 15 ponts from the lowest of the day 10.06 to 10.H for December the market sold off on the weekly crop report being more favorable than expected and wire from Washington promising a published ginner's report on cotton ginned to De- tober IS or 20. There was some little business In spot cotton in early morning but demand gave out before noon, the market finally closing steady at an ad- vance of 1-16. Sales. 2000; to arrive, S0O middling, 10 3-16 Liverpool was disap- pointing at the opening. a large spinning concern having failed in Vienna which induced heavy selling by London. Large receipts, 10000 in the English market from American. no doubt assisted the de- pression. Prices at one time showing de- cline of about a couple points when an advance of as many was looked for. Firm ness of Amercian markets after opening served to recover all of the early loss in the Liverpool market. Values were finally closing about 3 points up, but spot closed at loss or 9 points on sales of 5000; middling s 63 q; weather condi- tions were exceptionally good for picking and saving the crop and for the late crop in maturing; belt remaining al- most rafnless; temperature above normal for this season of the year.

 REPRINTS ITSELF. Movement Was COngested in a Few Prominent Stocks DISCOUNT RATE IS RAISED Imperial Bank of Germany Causes Sur prise By Raising the Rate From Four to Five

DISCOUNT RATE IS RAISED

New York. October n.-The stock mar ket once more retrieved itself from temporary setback today and resumed the advance
 The rise was not even and not entirely romprehensive, the greater part Of the trading and tho movement being con- ze-ted in a few prominent stocks. The arrnness in the rest of the market was due largely to sympathy with the few strong stocks, but the hardness of the market was none the less clearly demon strated. The opening response to the government crop report was a disap- pointment. The promise of an increase fin the yield both of corn and wheat over the pessimistic reports which had gained authority in the market was so brilliant that confidence In g. prosperous outcome for the harvests was confirmed.
 But holders of stocks were moved to take advantage of the showing to sell. The sellers showed little disposition to make price concessions, however, and the pressure diminished as prices reached last nights level. A relteration of esti- mates of a two billion bushel corn crop pr less by the authorities. whose first estimates had impressed the financial community, proved of little effect In face of the indications from the governments figures of 2,45OOO0,000 bushels or more. The significance of this showing in view of the price level at which corn Is held, proved effective in imparting new strength to the grangers, and resulted in the large buying and substantial advance in Union Pacific, Atchison and St. Paul.
 The Gould southwesterns were inclined to hang back, apparently affected by yesterdays accident on the Missouri Pa ciflc, and owing to dissatisfaction with the earnings statement contained in the yearly report of the Wabash. United Btates Steel preferred was subjected to narly pressure and then rallied, but met sufficient offerings at yesterdays high price to stop it's advance. New York Central's 21a-point advance was of only moderate influence on other eastern rail- roads. Reading was sold to realize and Erie was hurt by consideration of it's annual report, which was circulated dur Ing the session.
 Brooklyn's rise was attributed to good current earnings. The event of the day In the worlds financial markets was the advance from 4 to per cent of the dis nount rate of the Imperial bank of Ger many after having maintained the for mer rate since 1903 Foreign exchange hardened here in response and the con- tinental exchanges moved against Lon non, where discounts hardened and the price of gold was advanced.
 The action of the German bank is not clearly understood. and led to surmise that another Russian loan is being pre- pared for. Financial authorities in Lon lon have pointed out that a relaxation pf the money rate there would cause a withdrawal of large French credits

BULLS PREVENT SELLING

New York. October 1.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at decline or to l2 points, the loss being in response to easier Liverpool cables, excellent weather and the continued heavy movement to the ports. But there did not seem to be A. great deal of cotton offering at the break. and following the call the market was slowly rallied by moderate bull sup port and covering.
 It was generally expected that the weekly weather bureau report Issued by the New Orleans station, now that the bulletin from Washington has been dis continued for the season, would make bearish showing. but in spite of this the continued talk of holding in the south and fair inquiry for spot cotton, in connection with the outspoken bullishness of the southern market leader, prevented free selling. and by midday prices were net to ' points higher. At this level the weekly report was read, and proved very favorable as to climatic conditions although the statements as to the large proportion of the crop already picked was taken by the bulls as favoring the idea of a moderate production.
 The effect of the report was bearish, however, and after 1t was read prices gradually worked off to about the low point of the morning. They were rallied slightly just before the close, and the market was finally steady at a net loss of 2Q5 points.
 Sales were reported of 25OO00 bales, ac- cording to estimates. Trading was again largely professional, but 1t seems that wire houses with southern connections were getting little more on the long side of the market, and the news from this source was very bullish. Port re- ceipts for the day were very heavy, but exports, too. were large and the total clearances so far for the season amount to 1.111,26 bales, against 666,l62 bales for the same period last year.
 Receipts at the ports today were S4,936 bales, against 90236 last week. 100000 bales against 97,000 bales last week and 299,519 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 21, 405 bales, against 11,2S1 last year, and at Houston 27,751 bales, against 21,oOo last year.

LeIshman e co.,s Market Letter.

Leishman G Co., Market Letter.
 Cotton was fairly active, but with prices somewhat lower than last nights closing prices. The higher Liverpool cables were ignored at the opening, and the heavy proflt-talxing sales carried the list down somewhat further.
 On the decline shorts covered freely, ana this, together with the support offered by Wall street interests was instrument tai in strengthening the market.
 Receipts were slightly under the re- ceipts for the same day last week, but the weather in the south was perfect and Ideal for picking.
 Manchester continues to report good demand for spot cotton, and English spin ners report substantial improvement ID trade conditions. Spinners realizing that it Is case of getting cotton now at the comparatively cheap price or waiting un- til the bulk of the available supply has been taken. We continue to favor the long side and advise buying cotton on all weak spots.

and not enough general buying to hold the advance
 Very few traders buy for higher prices here, and as long as the short interest Sees there Is not enough speculation To carry on the rise, the buying Is rather uncertain from shorts
 As far as the general position goes there Is really very little indueement to go long as the price gets toward 101ac.
 This is not the place to buy cotton. Buyers at an advance now are buying on the theory that shorts will be com pelled to run and take big losses. This is hardly a sound proposition. Whereas, on the other hand, the buyer on such breaks as we had last week Is buying because the planter will not sell below 10 cents at the moment and the spinner Is willing to buy all the cotton he can get.
 There is no knowing what the next move will be. Prices have now reached point where the buyers should go very slow.
 At 10 cents and below 1t was a different proposition. There are too many factors in the cotton situation to make a man anything but conservative on a rise of # or % of cent
 Stocks-The stock market today re- | fiected irregularity. the early dealings being notable for the hammering of the professional element, but support was soon discovered and the realizing on the good crop report was followed by buying, as forecasted yesterday by prominent banker.
 The general list strengthened and rose to new high levels under speciality leader ship. Crop pessimists are trying to re- treat, but they cannot down government figures, and the outlook favors a general all-around big yield.
