Liverpool still reflects absence of inter- est and straddle operations cause the only change in values
 Futures were a few points better, as due.
 Spot sales good; 1000 at one point higher.
 The opening was three points better. Our market had a declining tendency at the start owing to dullness. but when the forecasts of the receipts showed de- cided decrease behind last years Houston for tomorrow, usually the heaviest day Of the week, only 10000 against 1000 last year, and the weather forecasts promised a wet cold spell of weather for the en- tire northwest then the small army of short scalpers rushed to cover, causing an advance of ten points.
 The floor being bearish looks at the decreased Houston receipts as due to lit- tie export demand, yet a combination of farmers holding and bad weather might cause continuance of bullish compari- sons of receipts and revival of speculation in consequence.
 Spots a shade higher Market continued dull but steady.

Loveman & Co.'S Market Letter.

The week opened with Liverpool about as expected but as predicted, the move ment to market was relatively smaller than last week and last year, for while port receipts since Friday were 79, ,465 bales against 76,040 last year. estimates for to- morrow's arrivals at New Orleans and Galveston combined were for only 19- 800 to 21,5O0, comaperd with 49,o, one year ago. and Houston was slated for only 10000 to 2, ,000 against 31,410 The fulfill ment of this promise and the prospects for Nunfavorable weather, lower tempera- ture and rains being the forecast for to- night and Tuesday assisted in sustain ing the market. notwithstanding spots having been reported neglected in the local market, which. however, are due to the scarcity of offerings and the con t'nuance of the strike. The semi-monthIy crop conditions reported by a noted stat istician was also Instrumental in infiuenc- ing values to a level 12 points higher than Saturdays closing. December having ad- vanced to 1039 The condition of the crop was placed at 67.1. as compared with 10 5 two weeks ago. 13 per cent of the crop was reported subject to damage by frost of an average date, and advices were reported general as to the plant suffering from rust, shedding, premature opening and damage by insects. The nnariret ap- pears to be meeting with a great deal of opposition especially by Liverpool. where the finger is always pointed to a large stock on hand in explanation to the indifference to reports of possible short crop In America, but the deception Is noted in the smallness of the spot sales there and the large export demand at Galveston and Savannah.

Immediate conditions in the money mar ket showed some relaxation, however. to- day. The sub-treasury withdrawal from the market was less than in the corres- bonding period of last week and New York exchange at Chicago rose to par, in- dicating the lessened demand upon New York from the interior.
 At the same time sterling exchange fell away to a lower level and local banking houses were in active negotiation to se- cure in the open market in London some part of the incoming supplies of gold. These negotiations were not successful as the arrivals of gold from India were re- served against India currency. The price of gold was marked up in the London market and discounts there and in Der lin hardened an additional fraction. The London market is looking forward to a further rise in the Bank of England rate and speculative operations there were consequently restrained. At one time dur ing the day it was definitely reported at the stock exchange that more had been secured in London for shipment to New Y York. The momentary strengthening eff feet on stocks necessarily gave place to some reselling when the rumor was found to be incorrect
 The unbridled manner of the first spurt in Reading had a disturbing effect on speculation. The movement in Canadian Pacific was regarded as coming from the same sources as that in Reading. It's sym pathetic effect on its subsidiary stock, Minneapolis. St Paul and Sault Ste Marie, was aided by the latter's favorable an- rual report. Call money was not held at the maximum level of Friday but ruled above last weeks average level. Sterling exchange moved up from the low level in the afternoon. The closing tone of stocks was irregular. Bonds were irregular; total sales par value, s2.670OO0.
 United States bonds were all unchanged on call.

 Futures throughout the session were generally quiet. Prices were unchanged to 1 point down on the opening and sell ing on New York account caused de- pression of 11 points more. A buying movement set In, causing reaction, but later in the day again declined. october and January were sold freely.
 There was slight change in todays market towards bullish opinion, based on the belief of some accumulation of short interests. Reports of colder weather in the northern sections of the belt and Of farmers holding back caused a general covering on the part of shorts and was accountable for the finer tone of the market about midday.
 Liverpool opened a little lower than due, but closed somewhat higher on strength of American markets. The local market closed dull at the lowest figures of the day, 1 point down to points up.

TENDENCY STILL
 TOWARD ADVANCE Price Movement in Stock Mar
 ket Holds Up NO SPECIAL NEWS FEATURE Money Market Continues to Work Closer, But in So Gradual a
 Way as to Cause Little
 Actual Disturbance.
NO SPECIAL NEWS FEATURE

New York, September 1S.-The advancing tendency of prices which held through last week was continued in today's stock market. The movement did not persist Tn full vigor throughout the day, as it was interrupted by occasional halts and reac- tions, but there was no actual reversal or the course of prices. The day was with out special incident in the way of news, but advices from all quarters were cor roborative of the extraordinary prosper ity prevailing in all parts of the coun- try and in all lines of business. The money market continued to work closer but in so gradual a way as to offer no effective obstacles to the operation of the factors of strength in the general situa- tion.
 Those who were operating in the mar ket for higher prices are safe apparently so long as the necessary reduction of loans by the clearing house banks to keep their deposits within the legal reserve can be effected by the relieving opera tions of the trust company. The extent to which this process is being carried does not entirely escape criticism, however. The fact is pointed out that in taking over loans and deposits from the banks the trust companies make no proportion ate requirement. upon the banks by withdrawal of their cash deposits. The ex- emption of the trust companies, although doing a banking business from the 20 per cent legal reserve requirement en- forced upon the banks, is the explanation of this. The growing credits put out by ba panied by no corresponding increase in available reserves, and In fact are coin- cident with the rapid shrinkage of the cash reserve of the banks which is prac- tically the total reserve against both the banks and the trust companies deposits

.IS QUIET DAY IN
 COTTON MARKET Fluctuations Irregular andCOm-
 paratively Marrow EASY TONE IN AFTERNOON Market closed Barely Steady at Ad- vance of Points to Decline of
 2 Points-sales, 100000
 Bales.

New York, September 1S.-The cotton market was quiet with fluctuations irreg- ular and comparatively narrow. A steady forenoon was followed by an easier tone in the latter trading and the market closed barely steady at an advance of ? points to a decline of ? points. Sales were estimated at only 100000 bales
 The opening was steady. unchanged to points higher in response to higher ca bles and during the early morning the gain was increased to 8 matter of 6 to points on the active months as a re- suit of covering and little fresh de- mand for long account inspired by less favorable crop reports. A private esti- mate was issued fixing the condition at 67 per cent or at about 3 per cent under the same authority for August. The weather map showed generally good con- ditions for picking and marketing. In the afternoon the market turned easier un- der a renewal of local bear pressure and liquidation encouraged by the ab- sence of aggressive bull support and the relative heaviness of October.
 The close was within a point of the lowest. Southern spot markets were gen. erally unchanged.
 Receipts at the ports today, 50,359 bales, against 37101 last week. and 45,725 last year. For the week (estimated). 275,OO0 bales, against 25.S79 last week.

aibert 6 cIay's Market Letter.

Notwithstanding unfavorable cables from Liverpool this morning, our markets opened two or three points higher than Saturdays close and made further gains of six to ten points, after which there was a reaction to the lowest point of the day.
 Opinions seem to be veering in the d. rectlon of temporary higher prices, caused in part by smaller receipts estimated for tomorrow at Galveston. Houston and New Orleans. The estimates show about 40- 900 bales less than expected at those three points and less than received same date last year. Private advices from New Orleans show 600 bales sold at a sixteenth advance. New York spots quiet; unchang- ed; middling 10.75.
