BEARS ACTIVE IN PUTTING OUT LINES Items in Bank Statement Were
 Not Liked CASH LOSS IS VERY HEAVY Market Closes Unsettled and Irregular and Very DuII-Prlees Have Moved IrreguIarly During
 the Week.
 
CASH LOSS IS VERY HEAVY

New York, September s.-The restored confidence over the money market, which caused a rally in stocks yesterday, was somewhat impaired again when trading in stocks was resumed today. An active bear party put out short lines freely in various quarters of the market There was some covering from this source after the bank statement appeared, but prices eased off again before the closing as the radical changes in the various items of the bank statement were not liked.
 Tn spite of the small impairment of the surplus which was made to show as a net result; the bank statement, in fact showed a much heavier loss of cash than the most liberal estimates of the prelim- mary computations. The highest of these had run to $s,5oo.0Oo, while the decrease shown by the bank statement runs to nearly $u, 100000. In order to effect the necessary reduction in the deposit item to keep pace with this heavy loss of cash and conserve the surplus the clearing house banks had marked down the aver age of the loan item for the week no less than 900. The decline in de- posits thus effected amounts for the week to sA. .165,1O0. These changes are far in excess of the reductions made in any pre- vious week in the history of the clearing house, and are the more notable as they include operations for only five banking days. The largest previous loan reduc- ton for a week was less than s25, 900, and this occurred the week following the stock exchange panic in May, 1901.
 The large reduction in reserve require ments caused by cutting down of deposits restricted the inroad upon the surplus to ss67, ,525 as compared with last week. That item now stands at A,83l $50, which IS the lowest figure it has touched since Novem- ber, 1903. No one supposes that there has been any such drastic contraction of cred It's during the past week as the reduction of loans by the banks would indicate. The liquidation in the stock market has been moderate compared with previous periods of active liquidation. and the fluctuations in the money rate has indicated no such urgency as would be caused by such withdrawal of credits. It Is to be taken for granted, therefore, that a large shifting of loans has occurred from the

New Business Is Meaure.

Manchester, September 9.--New business in the cloth market was meagre this week despite more willingness of sellers to meet buyers. Manufacturers are still engaged on old contracts.
 Trade with India was further aggra- vated by the Bengal boycott, which is af- fecting deliveries, while China is taking practically nothing. South America and the smaller eastern markets absorb small outputs of miscellaneous descriptions. Yarns continue irregular. Some of the Lancashire mills which have recently been spinning Egyptian yarns are now turn ing out American yarns, thereby increas- ing the supply. The inquiry is very poor, and quotations generally are farshins lower.

smoIIen & Co.'s Market Letter.

The stock market ruled very weak until the reading of the bank statement, this caused some short covering and prices rallied about % per cent only to be fol- lowed by another selling wave which sold the market down to about the lowest point again, the close being at the bot tom with but few exceptions. Metropoli- tan and Brooklyn lost IF each while the steel stocks were all point lower with the exceptions of Sheffield. which gained 1 per cent, closing at the best price of the day; T. c.

 Bearish ginners' figures and the absence of speculation are the explanations ca bled.
 Our market opened very steady only to ( points lower and the disposition from the start was to buy cotton on the slightest recession of selling 1t.
 Excepting southwest Texas, where the crop is very fine and the movement large, and farmers free sellers. news comes from everywhere that cotton is held for higher prices. Our side evidently takes a more serious view of the possibility Of organization among producers than Is done in Europe, where only statistics Is looked upon as guide at present.

 The price question now seems to be entirely up to the farmers. Will they hold, will they let go. All of the evi- dence so far shows they are holding, and are only too willing to do so. AL ready dispatches state that they are haul ing their crops back home.
