The rise in local money rates seemingly prompted renewed offerings Of bankers bills. It was reported also that some increase in the supply of cotton bills was perceptible in the exchange mar ket This was the result of the sharp break of the last two days in the price of cotton which has brought in new buy ing for foreign account in that market after the demand from the source prac- tically has been suspended owing to the level of prices induced by the speculation in cotton. On this side of the domestic currency movement, Chicago reported a free shipment of funds from that center to the agricultural districts and the New York rate of exchange at Chicago receded to 20 cents discount, as a result of the transferring the pressure to the New York market The loss of the banks to the sub-treasury was extended to over $5 GOO 900 for the week compared with the gain of over $1,O00,000 for the correspond ing period of last week.

PINCH IN MONEY IS SHOWN IN STOCKS Call and Time Loan Rates Quot
 ed Higher NOTABLE LOAN SHIF TING Event of the Day Was the Advance in the Bank of England Discount Rate of a Full One Per
 Cent.
NOTABLE LOAN SHIFTING

New York, September 2S.-There was a pereeptible pinch in money conditions to- Hay and the stock market showed the Hffect although the course of money has been very definitely and confidently seen. Both call loans and time loans rates were quoted higher; call loans going per cent Ind the supply obviously growing scarcer. Some slight effect on prices of stocks was produced, but the principal result in the stock market was the stagnation of the speculation.
 Various factors conduced to the course of the money market Doubtless there Is an extensive shifting of loans going on Do prepare for the great syndicate oper- ations which fall due on Saturday, but aside from this the actual cash reserves of the banks are subject to increasing hrain The event of the day was the ad- vance in the Bank of England discount rate of a full 1 per cent to per cent, rarrying 1t back to the level of two years ago since which time it had progressive ly declined until the advance of three weeks ago. The proportion of the banks reserve to liability is down to 400S per gent which is lower than the reserve has ttood for many years. It compares with the percentage of 57I2 this time last year. The action of the bank Is thus made clear even after allowance is made for the large amount of gold in it's possession which is ''ear-marked' for the Indian government and which does not figure in the reserve. 1t Is confidently expected that the im- perial bank of Germany will initiate the English bank at it's next meeting.

Loveman G Co.'S Market Letter.

After opening a shade better than last night, December, 10.67 against 10,65, the market felt the want of confidence in assertions sent out by members of the bull clique at New York to the effect that they would stop every October notice that may be issued tomorrow, and as re- suit December sold as low as 10.56. It re- duired the reiteration of assurances by leaders of the long party to restore con fidences, and as their statements were backed by liberal buying of the October position here and in the northern mar ket, the undertone of the market be- came steadier and values gradually worked higher, December finally closing at 10. 66a10 67. A prominent Wall street op- orator issued a circular made up Of bull ish figures and, endeavored to place a bearish construction upon same by stat ing that the deterioration in the condi- ton of the crop during the past month was 3.3 points, and by Juggling with the average deterioration of the past ten years, which was 6.42 for September ar rived at the conclusion that the actual growth Of the year would approximate Il. 25O,0Oo, the commercial crop about H. 900 bales.
