stringent money market and free offer ings of cotton bills. The decline in prices of stocks gave some additional point to discussion of the adjustment of the labor question which is going on either by voluntary advances by many corporations or by demands from labor organizations. Not much apprehension was expressed of strikes in spite of the progress of a ballot reported among the Erie firemen on the question of going out,
 The reports of the prosecution in preparation against the Standard Oil company, on an intended investigation of the Hartman railroad combinations by the interstate commerce commission, and of rumored recommendations in the forthcoming message of the president, were items in the days discussion and had some influence in the depression. The considerable part played by short selling by bears was indicated by the recovery of the latter part of the day, due covering of short contracts. The closing was firm at the recovery.
 Bonds were easy Total sales par value $2,1SS,OOO
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Money Situation Has Some Effect on
 Prices,

Prices,
 New York, Nov. 12.-The money situ-
 ation had some effect on prices of stocks to-day. The determined absten-
 ton from operations in the market, which was a feature of last week, gave
 place to some liquidation, As the de-
 mand continued as torpid as last week the selling was effected only at con sessions, which were substantial in , stocks where previous speculation had been active. The compelling influence
 in the selling was the calling of loans
 necessitated by the deficit ir the legal reserves of the banks shown by the
 Saturday bank statement, No source of replenishment of cash is available yet, and a reduction of deposits by seal ing down of outstanding credits Is the alternative. Holders of securities thus
 called upon for repayment seemed re- luctant to part with their holdings and
 their efforts to secure fresh .accommo- dation ran the money rate up to 20 per cent. early in the day. The local banks were said to be out of the money mar
 ket entirely, and funds were available only from the trust companies and out of-town lenders
 The stringency in the money market
 was aggravated by the maturity of an
 installment of about half the subscrip-
 tions at par to $25,0O 1000 of St. Paul
 stock, which therefore called for pro- vision of about $12,OOO, ,OOO Traders were somewhat disturbed by the ex- pllcit assertion of the secretary of the terasury that he would take no meas ure of relief for the money market in present conditions. Opinion is not unit ed in financial circles as to the feasibil- ity of treasury measures to give effect i've relief at the present time. It is rec ognized as out of the question to bring
 about easy conditions in Wall street except by carrying foreign markets with this to lower interest basis. Any marked relaxation in rates here would
 lead certainly to an outgo of gold to assist the struggle of the London money market to adjust itself to the heavy coming requirement of the year-end set
 dement's.
 The stock market settlement began in London to-day and carry-over rates
 were again stiff, rate of 9 per cent. being reported at one time. The rates for sterling exchange hare declined nevertheless, under the influence of inc

Closes Seven Points Lower 10
One Point Higher
DAYS SALES 225,OOO BALES
Opening Is Steady at an Advance of
2 to points In Response to

Was Steady.

New York, May THE cotton market
was moderately active during today's
session but after an early advance yield
ed to realizing and ruled irregular in the
late trading with the close points lower
to l point higher. Sales were estimated
at 225,OO0 bales.
The opening was steady at an advance
of 2 to 4 points in response to higher
cables and soon after the call the market
showed a net gain of 4 to s points, led
by July and October, the new crop being
influenced by less favorable weather re-
ports from the western belt. At the
advance there seemed to be selling by
local bull leaders who were probably
reducing their lines and the market eased
off during the middle session with May
over July reduced to matter of s to 10
points as compared with 20 points at
one time last week. The new crop was
relatively steady on the decline, owing
to continued covering but the close, while
steady in tone, was within a point or two
of the lowest. The weather was generally
wet in the south over Sunday and alb
normally low temperatures were reported
in the western belt. The forecast, how
ever, called for more seasonable weather
tomorrow and the eastern belt forecast
was for clearing weather tomorrow and
higher temperatures following colder
weather tonight. Southern spot market,
according to reports, were unchanged to
1-16 higher. Receipts at the ports today
1886 bales against 1919 last week and
1886 last year. For the week (estimated)
5000 bales against S4.760 last week and
142 692 last year Today's receipts at New
Orleans, 1904 bales, and at Houston 1885

While the liquidation is in force. and

i'll the market lapse into the hands of
professional traders, or until some inn
portant new development occurs to give
new impulse to speculation Senti-
ment in the financial district at present is
favorable to pause in speculative activity
for the clearing up of the situation. The
money market shows evidence of relief
by reason of the drastic liquidation eff
fected, as well as by the heavy flow of
gold to New York from abroad. The
settlement of the local labor dispute is
regarded with emphatic satisfaction in
its bearing on the confirmation of the
soundness of the general business sittia-
ton More attention was Aiven today
than heretofore to the subject of inter-
ruption of the lake trade by the strike
of longshoremen. The unfavorable effect
on the iron and steel industry especially
was a subject of consideration Some
increase in railroad traffic by reason of
the lake te-up was reported but not
more than sufficient to make up slight
falling off on other accounts. Western
railroads also for the first time in many
months admitted a falling off in traffic
in spite of some extra business on ac-
count of supplies for San Francisco The
activity of farmers In the fields was
given as sufficient explanation of the
decline in the volume of traffic, but its
conceded existence as noted nevertheless
in the formation of the days speculative
opinion. The days sub-treasury opera
lions showed large gain for the banks
reaching for the new banking week 81

accounting of gold import operations and
served to rectify in part the discrepancy
in the cash item of the bank statement
with the known movement of money.

Fluctuations In Reading Had a Sym

READING is STRONG Err

New York, May THE course of to-
days stock market demonstrated how
largely the outstanding short interest
had been reduced in the course of the
violent rebound from last weeks ex-
treme depression. In Reading the recovery
from last weeks low point to today s
high point reacted nearly Is points With
the satisfaction of the demand from
the shorts, the market fell into dull
condition and showed a heavy tone until
the irregularty after a rally. The adj
vantage against the bear party was ex-
tended considerably by the action of the
miners convention on Saturday, making
. settlement without a strike practically
certain. The influence of this factor was
carried over into today's market and
made Reading strong and very active.
The feverish fluctuations in this stock
gave ample indication of some very active
manipulation which was directed against
the more persistent bear position in the
stock. The advance in Reading had a
sustaining influence on the general list,
while it lasted. The sagging tendency be-
came quite manifest however when
Reading reacted. A progressive subsi-
