1ibert & cIay,s Market Letter.

Todays cotton market, in conditions and undertone is the best we have had for two weeks. Liverpool came in as ex- pected, with spot quotations unchanged and small sales only 5000 bales.
 Sentiment in our markets has been crystalizing on the bull side for two or three days past the buying of big opera tors being persistent and heavy. Farm CTS and merchants have aided the bulls by holding firmly and refusing to con slider offers below. their reasonable views
 It is likely that spinners will resist any further advance, and if so, the contest between producers and consumers will continue, thereby causing a scalping mar ket.
 It Is reported from New Orleans that the cotton handlers strike will be set- tied today.
 Stocks-Another day of strength jS the stock market and an evident disposition to not only hold values but to further advance them. There Is an unconfirmed rumor that Louisville and Nashville stock will be exchanged for per cent bonds on the basis of two of bonds for one of stock. If so, this will cause a further stiff advance in that stock, which gained nearly 2h points today
 We still feel friendly to the purchase of low-priced railroad issues and low priced industrials
 Grain-The market had a frmer tone to- day. An advance of about 1hc Is regis tered fin wheat. Our connections still continue bullish on the market.

ANIMATION AND
 SNAP IN MARKET Cotton Scores Good Net Gain
 During the Day BULLS WERE AGGRESSIVE During the Afternoon the Bulllsh Ele- ment Became Very Confident and
 Prices Worked Up
 Rapidly.

New York, September 22.-The cotton market showed more snap and animation today than for some time past and scored a good net gain of aggressive Wall street and New Orleans support in connection with a better demand through commission houses. The close was 243 points lower but stead, with a net advance of 15Q2S points. Sales were estimated at 100000.
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices at gain of points, near months being relatively easier under liquidation. The market soon rallied on support from the Wall street crowd. At first the ad- vance received considerable opposition from scattered longs taking profits for over Sunday and continued selling by local bears, but In the afternoon thI bull element became very confident, and prices worked up rapidly with October selling at 10 60 and January at 10.S4, or r to 14 points net higher. Toward the close realizing eased the market off slightly, but bull support was still in evidence. Southern spot markets were unchanged to 1-16 net higher; receipts of cotton at the ports today were 3s, 7s1 bales against 33 $40 last week and 47,092 last year. For the week, estimated, 240.O00 bales against 14S,SSS last week and 2Ss,9i4 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 442 against SSS last year, and at Houston 14,755 against 1O,095 last year.

Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

There was quite a sharp advance estab- lished today December after selling 10.7l closed at 1069-70, compared with 10.4S yes terday The improvement was partly due to sentiment of labor strike being left to arbitration which assures an early ad- iustment of differences. Spots were re- ported in good request in the interior at apout 1s advance. offerings were not so free. and Savannah reported sales of 600 bales at 1-16 advance. The movement for the week was less than expected. amount ing to 30s, 900 bales against 346.000 last year since September 1. sH,ooo compared with 76O GOO. There was a good undertone to the market all day and trading became brisk about noon on commission houses advising buying on information to be published within next day or so. A re- port was in circulation to effect that a prominent Mississippi cotton man. repre- senting a large vicksburg house. had esti- mated the probable size of the growing crop at S,90000O bales all of which assss- ed in the advance. Since more has been learned of the new crop, the tendency has been to decrease crop estimates, and 1t is possible that Europe will soon make up it's mind that the growing crop Is not larger than moderate yield at best. and spinners will soon be in the market for their future requirements. It is not at all likely to see a better demand for spots from now on

Ware 6 LeIand's Market Letter.

Dull and featureless market in Liver pool futures and spots unchanged but steady.
 Opinion eabled is to the effect that there will be not much change until the south offers more freely and that higher prices will result later on
 Our market opened unchanged to point lower with every promise of unnterrupt- ed dullness. sellers scarce, but also no enterprises professionals about only trad CTS. The october deal in New York as an artificial feature in the general situa- tion is a detriment to speculation, and the resulting fear to sell the market perhaps the weakest point for the bulls eliminating or reducing short interest to a minimum.
 Weather conditions throughout the belt ideal for maturing and harvesting crops and no rains promised for next 48 hours. Insight for week smaller than expected on account less increase interior stocks, indicating free selling so far.
 Bulllsh supply comparisons are looked for tonight. Spot situation unchanged, small outlay more willingness among buyers. and as settlement of strike close at hand, improved business looked for next week Country, particularly Texas, is asking more over futures for f. 0. b. cotton.

Bankers con nected with these operations assert that full payment has already been made in anticipation of the maturity of the obli- gation by a large number of subscribers in order to save interest.
 The same is true of the final install- ment on the Japanese Az per cent bonds, which falls due on October l6 The coincl- dence of the first two operations With the quarterly settlements in the money market will undoubtedly add to the strain at that time Discounts were shaded in London today, but foreign exchange held firm in New York, leaving the position still closed to further gold engagements. The hesitating tone of the days stock market was due to these mixed pros poets in the money market. Special stocks were advanced to hold the market during the periods when 1t was under pressure.
 Louisville and Nashville, Reading and St Paul were the prominent examples for the railroads. the influence in Louis- vile and Nashville stock being at valu- ation above the present price. St. Paul rested on the confident assertions that the $25, 100000 of new stock authorized Is to be offered to stockholders at advan- tageous subscription rates. The move ment in Reading was in the same hands as for some time past. Amongst the specialties, Brooklyn transit and Ameri- can Tobacco securities were firm. Dread of a more violent furry in the money market late in the afternoon had some thing to do with the early depression and when the money demand for the day was satisfied without any actual furry an active demand for stocks sprang up which extended notably to gains of the strong features and caused recovery throughout to above last nights level.

CALL MONEY RATE
 STOPS EXCESSES Stock Market Was at Times Under Pressure LOAN ITEM IS IMPORTANT HesItating Tone of the Stock Market Was Due to Mixed Prospects
 In the Money
 Market.
 
LOAN ITEM IS IMPORTANT

New York, September 22.-The call money rate today carried an admonition against speculative excess, and the rise in the rate had its effect on the stock market Operations were conducted with caution, and the market was under pres sure at times. but the disposition to pro- ceed with the upward movement when ever free for the actual necessities of the money market, was still in evil dence.
 Call loan rates advanced to the highest level of the year under the demand for accommodation to carry over until Mon day, which is required under the stock exchange rule. On the other hand the promise was for a good bank statement, and operators in stocks were loath to forego the advantage which might come from the sentimental effect of this tomor- row It appears that the movement of funds on balance to the interior during the week had hardly been sufficient to wipe out the small gain on the weeks sub treasury operations. The cash reserves of the banks should seem, therefore, to be little changed from last week. The principal interest attaches to the loan item. There has been some withdrawal of credits from the stock market during the week, but it is not clear whether this has been on the part of the banks. or has been due to some retrenchment on the part of trust companies in loans pre- viously taken over from the banks. A decrease in the loan item of the banks should result in an improvement of the surplus reserve item. Such an improve ment undoubtedly would be welcome as a margin against future needs.
 It is not supposed that the movement of funds to the interior has ceased for the season. From September 25 to Sep
