THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Sept. I4.--The check to yes- terday's reaction which developed in the stock market today was quite distinct. but the holdings of the market steady seemed enough to satisfy those interested in the support of prices. Further clearing of the situation Is awaited, especially the passing or the quarterly requirements of the money market at the end of the month. The local money market remains tranquil as yet the rates for call loans especially show ing great ease. but a pinch with the turn In addition to the regular requirements to De met in New York on October 1st, there VIII fall due an installment of s11,e25.o00 Of subscriptions in Northern Pacific stock.
 There was deposited at the sub-treasury today $275.00o for telegraphic transmission to New Orleans. These occurrences gave special interest to reports which were cir culated in Wall Street today that the Secretary of the Treasury had determined to allow the substitution of rnunicipal state and railroad bonds for government bonds now held. to secure government deposits with the banks on condition that the gov- ed to take out additional note circulation.

MARKET FOR COTTON

New York, Sept. 24.--After making new lo- records during the early session the cotton market had quite a sharp rally but lost part of the advance In the late trading with the close steady, net unchanged to three points lower. Sales for the day were estimated at 10000 bales.
 The market for futures opened steady at unchanged prices to a decline of three points on the active months and during the early session sold off to a net loss of e910 points the active months under bear pressure and liquidation which was promoted by indifferent cables, smaller English spot sales. reports of good weather over the South, predictions that 1t would be decided to curtail the production of cot ton yarns in the South at the meeting of the spinners tomorrow, and apprehensions regarding the probable effect of October notices on Friday.
 The market steadied at the decline on covering of shorts and buying for a turn accompanied by private wires from the South reporting a steadisr spot situation and a refusal of holders to follow the decline in futures. Prices worked up to a net ad- vance of about S0I1 points on this move ment but the market eased off again fin the late trading under realizing by early buyers and fresh selling attracted by the advance. The weekly report of the Weath- CT Bureau was considered favorable in the main. Southern spot markets reporting of xicially were unchanged to Ac lower.

DAY OF DISAPPOINTMENT
 IN THE COTTON MARKET

After the heavy decline of Monday, those interested in the fieecy staple had reason able Tight to hope for some Improvement pointed.
 The New York market yesterday touched lower point than 1t has since the opening of this season. that is since September |.
 Spots are still selling considerably above October futures in New York. which makes 1t dangerous proposition to hold spots. as It is natural to suppose that the spot mar kets and the October market will soon come together.
 Spots were reported in Montgomery yes- terday at II 5-1sc for midddiing. to Il 7-lsc for strict middling, but these quotations were not obtainable after the close of the market. in fact it was but very short time during the day that cotton could be sold at that price at all.
 By the comparison of the quotations of the markets of other towns 1t can be seen that the Montgomery market is ruling very high.

 New Orleans, Sept. 24.-There was less disposition to follow the decline today than at any time since pressure was brought to bear on values Liverpool was steadier than looked for. showing loss on the day of about three points and private cables from there stated that the market was oversold.
 After opening about unchanged and sell ing off to about 10. s6 for October, the New Orleans market steadied up as result of a better class of buying locally. The only obstacle in the way of an Important ad- vance was October tender day here and at New York on the 26th and 27th, respective ly. In connection herewith we do not antic- ipate heavy tenders for the reason that low grades have been placed at a greater discount than one month ago, the recent revision in grades having widened the diff ference from 50 to 100 points between low middling and middfns at New York. How ever, it may be that shorts will endeavor to redeem their contracts by testing the strength of the market by putting afloat several thousand bales for October deliv- cry, but 1t so happens that what has been unfavorable to the interests of shorts in the revising of spots has been favorable to longs. therefore all the tenders may find a welcome by those who may have use for the Aside of this feature there is in favor of the market the possibility of two bullish Bureau reports next week.
 The census report on quantity of cotton Blnneo 10 ceptefnDer Sbtns Wnlch IS que about October 2nd. will probably show not more than 1,50o.00O ginned to 25th. instant vs. 2,35S.o00 to a corresponding date one year ago. and on this will be shown more than by anything else. the lateness and smallness of the crop in the Mississippi valley and in Texas, perhaps in Alabama also.
 The census bulletin will probably be fol- lowed by the publishing of the Agricultural Departments average of crop condition due about October 3rd. It will compare with last months general average of 72.7 and with 71.s last October TIP year before last 75ss in 1904 and with ten year average of about 67.s.
 The condition of the crop may be as high or somewhat higher than the average of past ten years, but 1t should be remembered we have yet to make a crop of 12.000. 900 with an October condition below 70. which next months report is apt to be, and in this respect, the lateness of the crop this year should be the point upon which great stress might be laid
 Last years crop of 1851. 900 sold for an average price of 10 56. If this crop be not more than 12,oOO.OOo. do, not present prices appear relatively very cheap?

where Was the Sleek Cats

A certain family living in one of the
suburbs of New York owned a kitten
of which they were very fond. When
they went away for the summer it was
decided after various consultations to
leave the kitten with the butcher, on
condition that he should treat it with
the greatest kindness and give it about
a pound of meat a week, besides it's
daily allotment of cream.
Some weeks after the family had
closed the house for the summer the
nominal head of the family visited the
suburb to attend to some business mat
tiers and decided that he might as well
drop in at the butchers to see how the
kitten was getting along
He found the kitten curled up in a
corner asleep and apparently at peace
with the world, but, far from being
sleek and we'll fed in appearance, it
was so thin that he felt constrained to
call the attention of the butcher to the
fact.
do you mean to say you have fed
that cat a pound of meat during the
last week?" he asked.
Il certainly have" responded the
butcher.
Put him on the scales and see how
much he weighs"
The butcher did as requested and
gently deposited the kitten in the bal
ance. The pointer indicated exactly
one pound.
WELL" grunted the owner of the
animal, there's the pound of meat all
right, but where's the cat?"-New York
