FUTURES.

New York, September 25.-Ihe COT
ton market was higher during today S
trading on reports of steadiness on the
part of spot holders, Of a better de-
mand from spinners, and on predlc-
lions for frost tonight in the Carllnas,
The close was steady at a net
of - to II points. Sales for the day
were estimated at 275, 900 bales.
The opening was firm at an advance
of 9 to 16 points in response to higher
LIVERPOOL cables than expected, n
during the early session the market
worked about Is to Is points net high
er on the active months. This was
followed by a reaction to within .
or 7 points of last nights finals, under
realizing by recent buyers and selling
for a turn, but the market was rallied
sharply during the early afternoon
by the frost predictions. There was
more or less selling at the advance,
but sellers were not aggressive IN
the face of the outlook for cold wealth
er in the eastern belt, and the close
was near the top on the active months

sumably ID fear Of notices on Friday.

THE STOCK MARKET.

New York, Sept. 25.-Today's
small total of business accomplished
al n stock exchange was done most
~ IN a few short periods of compar-
ative activity.
For the great part of the session
the market offered no appearance
or ~stagnation greater than at any
time this year, this alone sufficing
TO account for the general tendency
Of prices to sag. The wide declines
recorded in some usually inactive
stocks Of light transactions made a
bad impression, owing to the sug-
gestion of paralysis of any demand
to necessitate such radical price con-
cession to effect sales.
The fall in prices in the general
list was moderate and showed evil
dence of occasional restraint. The
most important news development
to account for it was the report of
Killing frosts in the west extending
into the northern portions of the
corn belt, the latenes sof the crops
in maturing this year giving occa-
sion for some real concern. This was
moderate effect of news on corn it
self was received.
One cause for the halt in specula-
tive activity is the desire to await
the outcome of conferences in prog
ress to decide on the pattern for new
steel rails, as it is felt hat the de-
cision will be followed by clearer
light on the dimension of the steel
requirement and its bearing on the
future activity of the steel trade as
a whole.
Money on call continued easy, but
the shipment of currency to the crop
regions is now actively in progress
and likely to continue for some
time.
Some heavy taking of wheat
for export yesterday Influenced the
foreign exchange market. Sterling
exchange at Paris also moved against
London.
The covering of shorts put out
in the morning before the session
closed marked the professional and
narrow nature of the market and
reduced most of the declines to tr1-
val proportions.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales
| par value, were $2,O74,OOO. Total
sales of stocks today were 287,7OO
shares.

NEW YORK DRY COODS.

New York. September 25.-The dry
goods market showed a frmer under
tone today. although the demand Ie
not broadening. Knit goods show hes
i~tatiOn, due TO the falling prices in the
cotton yarn market. Prints and glng-
hams are having a steady sale. Cooler
weather brought out a larger retail
trade and also stimulated the nearby
trade with pbbers on fall merchan-
disc. Silk piece goods are ~hesitatfng,
and some large sales Of fancy fabrics
st lower prices are reported. Raw silk
is slightly easier.
