Gilbert & Clay's Market Letter.

liverpool was bullish until heavy sell ing orders appeared in that market which carried the D. m. quotations down to the level expected by our closing figures of yesterday.
 The ginners' report was the absorbing feature of the day. The amount reported ginned up to November 1, was 6,4S3 656 bales, which was evidently construed bearishly and precipitated a perpendicu- lar decline of about thirty points. At this level heavy orders steadled the mar ket and caused a slight reaction.
 There is a wide difference of opinion be- tween bulls and bears on what percentage of the crop is represented by the amount ginned to November 1, bulls claiming all the way from 65 per cent to 75 per cent. and bears arguing as low as 50 per cent.
 In the meantime the spot situation Is the controlling factor and there appears to be no weakness along this line.
 So long as spots remain firm 1t will be impossible to keep the future market much below the basis of spots, and we therefore incline to purchase around to- days low level, believing that ultimately substantial profits will be shown thereon

The stock market was very much ex- cited during the first hour this morning and after an advance of l to points in the high priced issues there was a sharp break followed by a steady advance. The highest price of the present bull move was reached in some instances. Reading being the feature and sold above 143 Shelters gained 2 points and Tennessee Coal rallied 21s. Big Steel was ex-dividend 1% per cent but ruled very dull. Locomo- tive after selling at 6s1a rallied above TO-. Union Pacific was weak and sold below 132. Our advice proved good on Union Pacific. Tennessee Coal should be sold around 94, the present price. Brooklyn and Metropolitan were in great demand during the first half hour both gaining per cent. this was lost, however, and l per cent more, before the close. We fa- vor the sale of Metropolitan.

Following this there was a second upturn on covering or recent sellers and the market just pefore the report was issued was firm and near the high point, or around Il. 40 for January and Il GO for March. Inside of ten minutes after the report was issued January was selling at 11.O5 and March at n.25, or 34 @S6 points net lower. There was acuVe liquidation through wire and conlnhlssioh houses. and leading bears were aggressive but bulls rallied to the support Of prices on the decline, and late fluctuations were very feverish and irregular.

READING KEEPS UP AMAZING ADVANCE Practically All Other Stocks
 Went Lower MARKET WAS EXPANDED Course of Events During the Day Elm 2hasized the Influence of the Money Market on Specu.
 lation.
 
MARKET WAS EXPANDED

New York. November s.-Readlng con- tinued its surprising advance in the market today, while practically every thing else went lower. The volume of the market underwent considerable expan- sion, but this was largely attributable to the enormous dealings in Reading, which had the market to itself for long periods. The relation between the rise in Read Ing ana tho weakness In tho rest of the market was public selling. An upward spurt in Reading usually precedes the free selling movements of the day else where.
 Whether the excited advance in Read ing awakened uneasiness on the part of holders of other securities for fear of disaster to the shorts in that stock, or whether Reading was pushed up in an effort to sustain prices, was realizing or was conducted elsewhere, were differing conjectures open to the choice of ob- selvers. The desire and apparent neces- sity to liquidate stocks other than Read ing were sufficiently obvious. This pres sure was commonly attributed to the exigencies of the money situation, al- though the contemplation of the results of yesterdays election undoubtedly was an unsettling influence on speculative sentiment in some cases. Taking the re- suits as whole, there was no disposi- ton to discern anything conducive to corporation advantage or privilege in the spirit of the electorate. The course of events during the day emphasized the in- iiuence- of the money outlook and gave 1t q dominant effect in the later trading.
 The banks are clearly sustaining further heavy cash losses out of the meagre sur plus reserve shown by Saturdays bank statement The outgo from the banks since thae statement of the sub-treasury operations alone amounts to $2, ,157. 900. To- day thero wers transferred through the sub-treasury s1,050. GOO to New Orleans and slOO,0O0 to St. Louis. This would be more than sufficient to wipe out the surplus as It stood on Saturday, There are heavy movements of currency besides by direct express nov 'ment to the interior. The rise In the call money rate to the maxi mum of the year at 91a per cent, and the movement to reduce credi. obligations by nquidations of stock, therefore, were not surprising. Neither was the check to tho pressure for withdrawal of gold for ex-

port from New York to be wondered at in view of the urgent needs for funds developed here. The foreign exchange market, however, showed no yielding ten dency, although it did not advance.
 The money situation in London and In Paris seemed rather easier, the London money market evidently benefiting from the reflux of funds from the British in terior points. The effect of the Berlin situation, however and of the advance in the German Imperial banks discount rate on Monday left open the possibility of an advance tomorrow in the Bank of England rate. Sterling exchange at Ber- lin underwent further sharp decline today. Besides Reading there were somo other points of strength, mostly amongst industrial specialties. the iron and other steel stocks figuring largely In the show ing. These movements were attributed more to professional operations than to any large general demand. The decline gained cumulative force in the latter part of the day, and the closing was &C., tive and weak at the lowest prices of the day. The special weakness of Missouri Pacific was attributed to the poor com parison of earnings with last year. The leadership of St. Paul in the decline was of decided effect on speculative sentiment.

rovemar s co.,s Market Letter.

There was a variation of nearly one half a cent in cotton today, March con tracts ranging from 11.76 at the opening to II 8 after the reading of the census gnners report on the amount or cotton ginned to November 1. The amount report ed ginned was somewhat larger than expected, 6.4SS646 bales, against about B. PSI GOO last year. the average number or bales ginned last year from October IS to November 14 figuring about loS00O per day; the quantity ginned to last date mentioned one year ago, amounting to 9,7S7 ,6l6 bales The number of active gin- nerles reported to November l. this year, was 27,7g5 gins to November IA last year. 29,611. The effect of todays report on the market was more pronounced but only temporary March breaking without a sale from Il CT to 11.i0, afterward selling as low as Il .32. from which level values recovered part of the extreme decline. There Is nothing in the report but bold facts and they stand out prominently in favor of a moderate crop of about 105O0.z GOO bales. perhaps, for d smaller yield, all depending upon the percentage of the crop ginned, which October 21 the South ern Cotton Growers association placed at 547 per cent and at this late date 1t
 is safe to say that the amount ginned is in the neighborhood of 60 per cent of the probable crop, which would point to yield of about 10, 100000.
