BY II. e b. Beer.
New Orleans, October 29.-The position
Of the market practically remains un-
changed from the closing of last week
when December closed 9.3l against 9.5s
today, and middling 9Ia against 99-16.
Price fluctuations were confined Within
radius of 80 points, December, s.Sf 10
s12, Except in Texas where the move
ment to market is on a smaller scale
owing to the determination of the farmer
to hold out for higher prices. receipts
continued free enough to keep weekly In
sight ahead of last year and on basis
of a crop yield of more than eleven mil
lion. On the other hand, however spin
ners continue to take cotton on a whole
sale scale. accepting $4,000 bales during
the past week against 242,000 last year,
22000 year before since September l.
1853 900 against Lib, 900 last year ana l.
$4,000 year before. The figures bring spin
ners talxings thus far this season close
to the basis of eleven million bales Tor
the season which is the estimate of this
seasons consumption of American by Mr..
Ellison. AS to future course of values 1t
remains a question rs to whether or not
this crop is over II, 250000. Owing to late
ress of last seasons crop it would not be
fair to make comparison with movement
Of one year ago on which basis the pres
ent movement would indicate crop of
about II ,O72, COO. BY far the best method
of Judging whether a crop was early or
late is to take receipts of new cotton
prior to September / and In this we find
arrivals of new cotton at market prior
to end of August year before last to
have been icrger than what they were
this year, 96531 VS.. 1913, and of the
previous record crop of 1898 early receipts
Of new cotton we're 1851 VS.. 79S4S this
season.

cotbr,n q. Co.'S Market Letter.

The partial clearing of the political sit
uation In England did not have a bouyant
effect on the Liverpool cotton market
which closed from to points lower than
logically due. Cable opinions were rather
pessimistic, believing that a long interest
existed and that the trade was well COW
cred with contracts. Wlthal spots show
ed better tendency and advanced two
points.
The slightly lower prices observed at
our opening were approximately In accord
with the lower foreign market, but con-
sidering the excellent weather map a
further reduction would not have been
surprising.
However, there was no disposition to
depress values and on advent of good
demand for spots, shorts covering with
some fresh buying, caused an advance.
| The visible supply statement evidenced
an unexpected small increase in Ameri-
can cotton and the mills takings for the
SEASON were shown to be much larger
than last year, and on parity with the
wear before, while the taki1gs for the
week were considerably In excess of the
preceding two years.
These figures were quite convincing in
that spjnners were willing to take the sta
pie on a liberal scale around present
prices. The ginners report TO be issued
on Monday. while not final summary Of
the quantity ginned to October Is, should
enable traders to form more correct esti-

ANIMlTION AGAIN
RULES THE MARKET
Many Stocks Reach High Level
for the Year
HAS BEEN EvENTFUL WEEK
Furious Speculation Has Conferred In
Union Pacific-Week's Sales OF
This Stock Were Over
Million Shares.

New York. October 2e.-Wlth the effec-
tive clearing up of the threatened inter
national complications abroad, the specu-
lation in stocks here broke into renewed
enimation today and the rise in prices
was renewed with as much animation
and assurance as with the opening Of
the week.
There was no indication that such a
thing as an Anglo-Russian war had ever
threatened and the final prices today
were In some cases the highest Of the
week and of the year. The advance was
even more comprehensive and more even
ly distributed than in the market of the
earlier part of the week Such weakness
as was shown was due to specific causes
except for the sudden losses of its gain
in st. Paul In the final dealings, which
made the close slightly irregular and
gave the market an appearance of action
between contending forces to determine
the closing tone. The determined support
of the forces behind the market gener-
ally prevailed, however and the closing
was very animated
OF the weak spots in the markets, that
of Ontario & Western due to the doubt
thrown on the early conviction that equal
terms were to be offered the majority and
minority holders in the purchase of con-
troll. The break in Metropolitan Street
Railway and Metropolitan Securities was
quite clearly a speculation on the pos
sible future effects of the newly opened
subway on the local transit traffic. Anal
gamated copper, sugar, Union Pacific,
Rock Island, Erie and Southern Railway
were the principal features, but the
strength was so general showeA the ex-
pected small change in cash but the in
crease In deposits through the loan ex-
pansion depressed the surplus level. The
tone of the foreign exchange market was
slightly easier but further exports of gold
next week are generally expected. Total
sales of bonds par value $5,275,0O0.
Speculation in stocks this week has ap-
preached the high record level of activ-
1ty at times. and with a number Of con-
f1icting factors in force, the market has
been OF a tumulutory character. On the
one hand, have been numerous rumors
of railroad deals and the other alarming
effect of the crisis suddenly precipltated
in the relations between Russia and Great
Britian. The latter factor coming upon
an extended speculative situation caused
IN effect in the New York stock market
more acute than in other markets much
more vitality concerned In the outcome,
but the weeks results on prices are mix
ed both by reason of remanents of the
earlier strength In the market and of
recoveries after the Anglo Russian crisis
had passed.
The furious speculation has conferred in
Union Pacific, dealings in that stock ris-
ing above 100000 shares on three separate
days, and to 100000 shares on Tuesday.
The weeks sales of this stock on the
Btock exchange have been considerably
over 100000 shares, or as much as the
common stock of the company, which
numbers 1,0S7,729 shares No one supposed
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1904-10-30

that the control of the company has
passed. the same stocks changing hands
many times in the course of the week, or
even in a day The strong tide of the
market has offered great opportunity for
traders and this constant changing of
holdings has been feature of the trad
ing Individual traders and firms are
credited with handling as high as hun
dred thousand shares of various stocks
during a day. Given two such operators
to buy excessively from each other, each
time at an advance In price, 1t will be
seen that constant succession of specu-
lative profits are indicated, but with the
profit ON the whole dependent on the sue
cess of the final holder In distributing his
holdings above his purchase price.
Suspicion of enormous transactions OF
this kind was the cause of the precipitate
unloading of stocks in the rush to save
profits, or to prevent heavy losses when
prices turned downwards. For the week
ending today, the aggregate sales have
been 9SS7S00 shares. Union Pacific's
prominence this week has been due to the
supposition that a plan for final settle
ment of the long projected community
of interest in the transcontinental railroad
field was being worked out
OF other railroad deals, stories that
played a part In the market there were
the supposed absorption OF the Ontario
and Western by the New Haven, rumors
of a bid for the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton by the Erie, buying for control of
Chicago Great Western by the Union Pa
cific and various others. 1t was generally
assumed by spectators that the extern
sion Of the community of interest idea
would add to the value of practically all
of the low-priced independent railroads
available in any way for absorption by
larger systems, and speculative commit
ments on this assumption.
Bonds were more conspicuous and
moved in sympathy with stocks. United
States bonds were unchanged on call dur
ing the week.

New York. October 29.-The cotton mar

better than due ON the cables and the
generally favorable showing of the early
weather reports.
There was no confirmation of yester-
days rumor that the Fall River strike
had been broken, but sentiment on the
whole seemed rathe. more favorable to
the market, possibly owing to the outlook
for smaller receipts and lessened pres

seem aggressive, however, and after the
first demand was filled, the market sagg-
ed off. ruling quiet but about steady
