aside from the normal ends of money lending.
 These accusations gathered points in the remarks of Jacob II. Schiff before the Chamber of Commerce. The specific ale gation was made of an institution calling loans at to [ per cent in the morning and putting out their funds later at the advanced rates, which resulted from this contraction of credits. But the straight ened conditions of the New York money market, which give opportunity for the success of the manipulation is obvious from the figures of money movement The absorption of funds by the sub-treas- ury alone this week was sufficient to have exhausted the slender surplus of reserves of the New York clearing house banks shown by last weeks bank state ment early in the week. Not only have government revenue collections on ac- count of customs been very large, but large sums were deposited at the govern ment institution for telegraphc transfer to San Francisco and New Orleans for the movement of fruit and cotton crops.
 Interior exchanges at other points also failed to move decsiVely in favor of New York, even with the attractive rates pre- valing for money in the New York mar ket. Individual deposits in national banks have expanded to the amount of $SO0, 0,240,- uufi government uepOSllSs 9ft,JJ4ifJz, anu loans and discounts, s349. .3097 797, while tie cash. holdings have increas sed in the same time but $245S.7S The banking position as whole, however, receives a more favor able sidelight from the showing of the New York trust companies in their reports to the superintendent of banking at Al bany.
 From this it appears that the trust com panies have fortified their cash holdings in compliance with the new state law for trust company reserves to the extent of $21,0c1,000 the comparison being be- tween November H. 1906, and November 9. 1905. The deposits of these institutions in the same time have decreased $53 791 GOO. and their loans on collateral contracted $62, ,75S, ,6G0.
 The evident stress on the money market kept alive confidence that measures of relief would be taken by the treasury de- partment, owing to large absorption from the market by revenue collections
 The Presidents message was without active influence in the market. The bond market has been very dull, but prices were but little affected by the money sit uation United States 2s advanced as per cent on call during the week.

All interest is centered in census report on quantity of cotton ginned to Decem- Der l, to be published next Monday at 1 o'clock, New Orleans time, and in the an- nual crop estimate of the government, to be promulgated on the following day at the same hour.
 The census report will be compared with ginnings to the first of December of last year. when s,69O,oo0 bales were reported ginned, but as the daily glnnings Noveni- Der 14 to December of one year ago aver aged only 79O00 bales per day. and as 1t is generally admitted that this year. , crop is much larger than that of 1905 lt is thought that an allowance of about 1oo,0 GOO bales per day as the average of daily ginnings for this year for the fifteen days ending November 3o will he found to be approximately correct, and as there has been s,5620 0o0 bales ginned to Novcm- Der IA the probabilities are that the cen-

Hydinger's Cotton Letter.

New York, December S.-Trading in cot ton options during the past few days has been based for most part on expecta- tions concerning the coming ginners' re- port and government bureau figures to be issued next Tuesday. The heavy move ment however, has been an influence against values and naturally induced con- siderable liquidation of tired-out long con- tracts and encouraged some further sell ing by short interests, this feature places the market in better technical condi- ton for a quick upward movement when the tide turns.
 Southern spots firm and demand quite satisfactory Export business still above the 300,000 bale mark for weeks ship ments. Spinners in all sections of the country report extreme demand for raw material and better grades desired Strong support from this source for some time to come is quite probable This fea- ture should hold option markets within the 10-cent limit. Weather conditions for the week very favorable for picking and marketing the crop.
