elhert & Claws Market Letter.

Liverpools closing prices today were on a parity with the New Orleans close of yesterday, and at the opening of our markets there seemed to be disposition to resist any further decline. There was, however, a reaction of 10 points from the opening figures After that, on reports of better spot demand, statement that hedges were being uncovered and some buying due to unwilllngness to carry short contracts over Sunday, the market improved 13 points, and the close was steady at about the same figures as those. of the previous day.
 It Is only natural to expect at least a moderate reaction from this level, after a continuous decline of over 1c a pound, and this Is likely to occur soon. The liqui- dation has been severe and weak holders of long cotton have for the most part liquidated; therefore, no more assistance can be expected from them Just now in the direction of lower prices, and in order to create further decline it will have to come largely from short selling and this might be considered dangerous at the present level with liability of frost scare at any time
 Stocks-The bank statement was not as good as expected. Deposits show very heavy decrease, but the stock market held firm.
 With the return of crop money it is req sonable to expect considerably fur ther appreciation in stock values.

New York, October 7.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at decline of to 10 points in response to lower cables After working up point or two from the open ing prices broke under a renewal of bear pressure and reports of Wall street liaui- dation.

MONEY MARKET IS STILL THE FACTOR Selling Movement Causes Gen. eraI Downward Tendency lNOUSTRIALS AN EXCEPTION Strength of the Handful of Stocks Was of Little Effect In Sustaining
 the General
 Market.

New York, October 7.-The weekly bank statement offered warning of the small reliance to be placed in yesterdays late decline in the call money rate as re- ffection of the situation of the money mar ket. Speculative sentiment was brought to the conclusion that a stiff money mar ket was likely to continue for the im- mediate future, and there was selling of stocks in consequence. A group of in dustrial specialties, most among the raii- road equipment stocks, with American locomotive a conspicuous leader, were notable exceptions to the general down. ward tendency.
 The movement In these was of profes- sional origin quite largely, but had as substantial basis the extraordinary need of the railroads throughout the country for large increases in facilities to accom- modate the flood of traffic which is com ing upon them. The strength of this hand ful of stocks. however, was of little ef- feet in sustaining the general market, and the closing was easy at net declines. running to point or over for many of the prominent active stocks.
 The decrease in cash shown by the bank statement ran to s. 454,701, thus con- sderably exceeding the largest of the preliminary estimates based on the known movements of money. This showing is re- garded as rectfication in part of the un- explained Increase in cash reported last week, though the full amount of the dis crepancy is by no means accounted for. The showing strengthens the supposition that gold engagements have been figur ing in bank reserves as soon as made, without waiting for their actual receipt. The effect of the decline in cash on the surplus was modified by the scaling down of the deposits through contraction of &1 .8S9 400 in outstanding loans. The in

Manchester Cotton Market.

Manchester, Eng, october 7.-The re- cent decline in the price of cotton brought few more Inquiries, but the factors which are well engaged well ahead have no intention of reducing their limits at present. Consequently the turnover was again meagre.
 India and China business was represent ed by small sales of fine cloth and the Mediterranean markets, although healthy, are not absorbed as much as recently. South America also was quieter. and in the absence of bulky transactions quota tions were difficut to obtain.
 Yarns generally were dull owing to the increased output, but American cops for home trade were in good demand. Quotations generally were ssc lower.

THE MooR's PLEDGE.

n Point Of Honor ReliGiously on
served BY Arabs and Saracens.
A Spanish cavalier in a sudden quar-
rel slew Moorish gentleman and fed.
His pursuers soon lost sight of him.
for he had unperceived thrown himself
over garden wall. The owner, Moor,
happening to be in his garden, was adj
dressed by the Spaniard on his knees,
who acquainted him with his case and
implored concealment. "Eat this" said
the Moor. "You know that you may
confide in my protection" He then
locked him up In his garden apartment,
telling him that as soon Us 1t was night
he would provide for his escape to a
place Of safety.
The Moor then went to his house,
where he had just seated himself, when
a great crowd, with loud lamentations.
came to his gate, bringing the corpse
Of his son, who had just been killed by
the Spaniard. When the first shock Of
surprise was little over he learned
from the description given that the IA
tai deed was done by the very person

to no one, but as soon as 1t was dark
retired to his garden, as II to grieve
alone, giving orders that none should
follow him. Then, accosting the Span
lard, he said: Christian, the person
you have killed Is my son. His body
Is now In my house. You ought to SUI
fer, but you have eaten with me, and
have given you my faith, which must
not be broken" He then led the aston
ished Spaniard to his stables and
mounted him on one Of his feetest
horses and said:
"Fly far while the night can cover
you. You will be safe in the morning.
You are indeed guilty Of my sons
blood, but God is just and good, and l
thank him am innocent Of yours and
that my faith given is preserved" His
point Of honor ia, 1t Is said, most reli-
giously observed by the Arabs and Sar-
acens, from whom 1t was adopted by
the Moors of Africa and by them was
brought into Spain.
