sentation on the boaru was the cause of today's advance, but nothing authorita- tive on the subject was made known. The sustaining Influence of the special points of strength induced some recov- cries in the general list from the early depression, but no firm resistance was shown to the reactionary tone. Sterling exchange continued Its decline and no fur ther talk was heard of gold exports for the present
 The turn of the month abroad brings normal relaxation in the money market and easier conditions are expected until the end of the month. In our own mar ket the firmer tone for time money was maintained. New Orleans got addi- tiona1 $450,000 through the sub-treasury and the loss by the banks to that insti- tuition since the last bank statement was swelled to $2.495,000. Further call for cur rency Is looked for both from New Or leans and Chicago. The tension on the call market however, was slightly re- laxed The discount of the New York exchange at Chicago was widened The appearance of advance sheets of the Iron Age weekly review caused late squirt in some of the iron and steel industrials, and the market closed irregular.

per of the cotton trade in evidence throughout the day.
 There has been so much confusion here tofore that the uncertainty left the course of prices very irregular and difficult to follow. But today the cotton outlook be- came decidedly more favorable to ad- yaneing prices. and the market was not slow to respond. From the opening it was evident that the cotton was wanted in considerable quantities. and could only be obtained at higher prices. The volume of trade was considerably larger, the un- dertone became more confident, and that large operators were willing to trade on a larger scale.
 The change started with sales of spot cotton in Liverpool amounting to 14.0e0 bales. This was the record business of the season so far. and as cable advicts were to the effect that spinners could he expected to continue in the market owing to the small crop estimates now in circulation, there was every inducement to accept the outlook as favoring higher prices for the present at least
 From the start the market was one of increasing activity, and although there was the usual profit-taking on higher prices. this did not prevent nearly all the options working to a higher basis than has been touched since the decline below 10 cents.
 From the nearly all directions smali crop accounts were received. and the es- inmates now range around 1025o,0m.

EXPECTED TO BE EASIER

New York, November 1.-The hasty de- mand from the bears caught short or the market yesterday by the news rom Russia having been satisfied during the day. was no longer in evidence in to- days market by it's sustaining Influence. Besides that, the tone of some of the news from Russia over night revived feeling of apprehension that the paci- fication of the country was still open to question This factor was dealt with from a theoretical rather than a practical standpoint as the foreign stock markets were closed in observance of All Saints Day, and the usual barometer of foreign political conditions was thus lackina The influence from this source was almost en- tirely sentimental as there was no actual selling of stocks for foreign account. The news of today's events as it came to hand, also served to quiet apprehension regarding the situation in Russia.
 More importance was attached, there fore, to the reduction of the short in- terest as an explanation of the reaction ary tone of the early market and a group of speculative industrials and specialties were rushed up, some of them to record figures, in sudden spasms of activity. American smelling and Reading both touched record figures, although the last named stock was, however, clearly under going a process of profit-taking so that its extreme rise was limited. The United States steel stocks were clearly affected by profiting on the figures of earnings for the September quarter. The high level of net earnings attained and the record figures of unified orders on hand, while considered highly favorable, had been exaggerated in some of those set ahoat beforehand for speculative pur- poses.
 Buying induced by the extravagant ru- mors naturally resulted in disappoint ment when the figures were published and some selling ensued. The speculation in American smelling was actively pur- sued and had its influence on the move in national lead owing to rumors of a lead merger under American smelling auspices. The most conspicuous new peril of strength was in the Missouri, Kansas and Texas stocks, which have been neglected since the annual report of the president deprecated hopes of dividend payment on the preferred stock. There was talk that buying for repre-

The Russian news this morning was highly satisfactory The people have greeted the new constitution with joy and all strikes have been called off. Liverpool showed the effect of the better outlook by a change from a point de- cline at the opening to a closing of 6 points better than last night. Sales were 14000 bales, the biggest days business in many months. Our market acted rather heavy during the morning and followed Liverpool very grudgingly. For the greater part of the day prices ranged between and 10 points above yester- days as the day wore on and the activity of spot buyers throughout the south be- came generally known, prices slowly forged ahead until they closed 20 to 25 points up on the day.
