Receipts the past week give Inc IN
dependent encouragement. The popu-
list campaign debt will not long remain
unpaid il the present pace be kept up.
In only one particular are the receipts
this week not wholly to The lnde-
pendent liMng-Chairman Ferriss is
the heaviest contributor. Not that The
Independent would have Mr.. Ferriss be
niggardly-but inasmuch as he has al
ready contributed heavily, it seems
hardly right that he should now bear
such a heavy share of the outstanding
obligations. In addition to the claims
shown from week to week, Secretary
De France tells The Independent that
Chairman Ferriss expended money for
stenographic reports of meetings and
for other matters which should be In
cluded as part of the committee debt

War. G LeIand's Market Letter.

New York. Oct. 10-The action of the various cotton markets of the country today indicated that the running break that took place during the late trading in the New York market yesterday ar ternoon was in the nature of winding up of a week-long interest and the iauida- tion was so thorough that prices rallied very easily 25 points at one time this morning. To meet our break of yester- day Liverpool was due to come about 15 roints lower. but instead of this lost only or points, and closed but o points down for the day.
 Southern spot markets were generally steady and spot dealers reported that it was absolutely impossible to do any- thing on a basis of New York prices. These influences together with the fall in temperatures in the Rocky Mountain region, which promised to bring temper atures dangerously near the frost line In the northern portion of the cotton growing sections of the south operated in favor of a steadier market.
 At times 1t was evident that the sup- ply of contracts had been so diminished throughout by buying by spinners and others that when a wave Of buying started the supply was not at all in line with the demand. There was, how ever, considerable cotton for sale on any sharp advance, and this tended to make the tone nervous. feverish and the entire market very uneasy.

last weeks furry at the same time sen timent over the money outlook was im- proved in London. This latter develop ment seemed to be due largely to the report that the bank of France had re- linquished $5,0O0,0O0 in gold to be shipped to Egypt, relieving by that much re- quirement in the London money mar ket. The continental exchanges also moved in favor of London, although dis counts hardened both at Paris and Der lin, and remained stationary in London. The price of gold, however, was marked up in London. The foreign exchange mar ket here was firm in response to the easier tone of the money market, but there was a general belief that the re- taxation In money is due largely to yes terday's liquidation of speculative &C., counts in stocks.
 Redeposits of New York tax payments are factor and liquidation in stocks is also believed to have afforded relief to the money market. The quiet tone of money is felt to be dependent at pres ent on the quietude of speculation. This belief had an effect in restraining any activity in the stock market. The gov dence In the favorable outcome of the crops, and helped to increase the strong undertone of stocks. Somes attention was attracted by reports of the extent to which the congestion of freight threatens to embarrass grain and flour exporters here owing to their large contracts for delivery on the other side with engage ments of freight room on steanshps and purchases in the west already made.

COTTON MARKET IS STILL IRREGULAR Shows Generally Firm Tone
 on Covering FROST WAS PREDICTED Market Was Rallied Late By the Frost Predictions for Arkansas and
 Territories of Western
 Texas.

New York, October 10.-The cotton market was somewhat irregular but showed a generally firm tone on cover ing by shorts and predictions for frost in some portions of the belt for tonight. The close was a couple of points off from the top but steady at a net gain of 19d24 points. Sales were estimated at 450, 900 bales.
 The opening was firm at an advance of @12 points in response to higher cables and predictions that cold weather in the country north of the belt would work down into the cotton country. Some New Orleans operators who had sold on yes terday's break under a misapprehension as to census figures were covering and prices in the early trading sold up to a net gain of 2Od22 points. This was fol- lowed by a partial reaction under real izing and a renewal of bear pressure en- couraged by the big interior movement which was regarded as indicative of the attitude of holders, but after working off to within ten or twelve points of last years finals, the market was again ral- lied by the official prediction for frost tonight in Arkansas, the territories and western Texas. The weekly bureau re- port was considered about a stand-off. Southern spot markets, as unofficially reported, were about unchanged to S-16c lower

PRICES MOVED NARROWLY

New York, October 10-There was some berceptible relaxation in the money mar ket today and a resulting relief from the pressure of liquidation on the stock mar ket which was in evidence yesterday. At the same time one or two incidents calculated to inspire the speculative ypirit occurred The result was move ment toward recovery in prices. There was nothing like a revival Of specula- live activity, however, as shown by the practical cutting in half of the volume pf transactions compared with yesterday. Except in few closely held stocks the price movement was narrow and slug sish.
 The long prevalent rumors of a melon- putting for the Great Northern stock holders developed in the decision to is tue s25.000,0O0 of new stock, present stock holders to be allowed to subscribe at par to the extent of 20 per cent of their holdings Probably a thousand rumors have circulated as to the outcoming ben kfit to the stockholders of this company, put none of them proved to have been en- hrely accurate The announcement seem- hd unexpected at just this time. and the price of the stock was rushed up over points during the first hour.

Gilbert 6 Clay Market Letter.

Advices from Liverpool were generally or more favorable tenor. a larger busi- ness was being done and some cables ex- pressed the opinion that the bottom had been reached. The failure of decline to meet logical expectations was attrib- uted to the covering of shorts In Man chester. At the close English options had lost points and spots points. Sales, 5000 bales. Even had the foreign market been less satisfactory. the weather map this morning was fierce enough to en- courage weak longs and cause hestancy on the part of the bears Additional heavy rains over almost the entire belt and the northwestern section was par tially eneircled with killing to heavy frosts back of which were temperatures midway between freezing and zero Later the forecast indicated that the frost would extend Into the belt by tomorrow Initial trades in our market were made at an advance of about 10 points. around which prices hung with moderate varla- ton throughout the session.
