 Heavy Sacrifices.
STOCKS VERY IRREGULAR

New York, November 22.-The most Important feature of todays stock mar ket was the discontinuance of the kind of liquidation which has kept sentiment nervous andNupset for several days past. It was obvious that the circumstances which could force so paipful process must be sufficient to affect securities and reports regarding the state of diff culty had reached stage of great par ticularity. The action of the market to- day gave plausibiity to the reports cur rent that arrangements had be4n con cluded to take care of threatened inter ests and thus put a stop to the heavy sacrifices which were being made in the forcing of liquidation. The market owed such recovery as it had to the belief in this report. Some demand therefore was from uncovered shorts, but very little from any other source.
 The estimates of the weeks currency movement showed still so considerable a tide away from New York as to give warning of possible further postpone ment of the turn towards improvement in the position of the banks From an- other point of view, however, the re- sources thus supplied by the New York banks go to strengthen the interior banks and to prepare them for the resumption of commercial operations now looked for at an early date. Reports of condition of Canadian banks in response to the off cial call go to confirm the showing of the Illinois state banks as to the accumu- lation of cash withdrawn from New h 1lrc in cid of ha
 Reports from the interior intimate that interior banks are awaiting the restora- tion of normal conditions in New York before relaxing the hold on their precau- tionary accumulation; a condition of cross purposes being implicated by t.iis situa- tion. When bank officials perceive that their own strengthened position is not an isolated one, much will be done to- wards doing away with suspicion and distrust. Importance was attached to the opening up of French sources of supply to the demand for gold an important proportion of the days engagements con- ing from the Bank of France itself. The days new engagements amounted to one of the largest totals thus far re- ported during the movement and brought the aggregate to well over $60,00O0O0. The basis on which the transactions with the Bank of France were concluded were not definitely disclosed, but was believed to be independent of the project to se- cure advances from the French bank with an, implied guarantee of the United States government.
 The purchases of commodities for French account has increased the supply of commercial bills here and there, to- gether with premium made forcible by the currency premium here are believed to offer the facilities which have been taken advantage of. The demand for call

CROP ESTIMATE BEARISH

New York, November 22.-The cotton market was nervous and irregular with the close steady at a decline of [ to 10 points. Sales for the day were estimated at 100000 bales.
 The opening was steady at a decline of to points in response to lower cables than expected and private cables report ing that the English trade was disturbed by the fear of labor troubles i'm Lam caster. During the early session the mar ket had sharp advance, owing to renewal of covering by Wall street shorts and local bull support. After active months the maSxet eased off un- der realizing and ruled rather weak dur ing the afternoon under liquidation by buyers who were probably disappointed by the failure of an expected bullish crop estimate to materialize and by the absence of a more aggressive demand in the remaining short interest The close was at practically the lowest level of the session. It was rumored at midday that local authority had issued a crop esti- mate of 12,200,000 bales but this was sub sequently denied and the statement was made that the expected estimate would not be issued until Monday. Very little spot news came from the south, but such wires as were received indicated rather a firmer tone in the interior. New England mills were said to be willing to buy, but only at a considerable concession.
 Receipts at the ports today 61,509 against 63, 1OS last week and 65550 last year. For the week 340,00O against 354, 243 last week and 412, ,949 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 16 333, against 1S,1SS last year, and at Houston 9lO5, against 1S,3SS last year.

Dry Goods.

New York. November 22.-The dry goods market is quiet and little new business is passing. A reported sale of 1900 bales of drills for India has aroused some interest. Inquiries from that market have been frequent for some time past. There is a strong hope that renewed buying for Red Sea ports will be >re- stunned shortly. Cotton yarns are very quiet fnd easy. The local wool mar ket is fduIl.
