PANICKY FEELING
 IN STOCK MARKET
All Demands for Stocks Are
 Fairly Paralyzed
INACTIVE STOCKS SUFFER
Sensational Drop In Silver Has oc- cured During the Last Two Days and Copper and Tin Show
 Further Declines.

New York, October 11.-A feeling of despondency weighed on speculative spirits in the financial district today and overbore all other considerations. Its cause had to be sought in an ac cumulation of previously existent in- fuences as there was no new develop ment or event to account for it. It had the effect of paralyzing all de- mands for stocks, and this prostration of the buying power gave swift effect to selling pressure which was. besides, of an urgent character in some cases. On a volume of dealings which repre- sents no great imitation of activity there was seen in consequence, a series of declines registered such US are usual ly characteristic of panic conditions In the market Stocks which suffered in this way were those of the inactive class some of them not dealt in often at intervals for many days, or even weeks. The special weakness of Amer ican Smelling was associated with the general downward tendency of metals
 Today there were further declines in copper prices in London, where vio- lent slump occurred in the price of pig tin.
 For two days there has been a de- cline Tn price or SufeI, Wiici is sci- sational in extent for that metal. Fall ing off in the Indian requirement is given first responsibility for the drop in silver. The coming dividend on Amalgamated Copper came in for dis cussion, with no very hopeful auguries and intimations were broached of a probable total shutdown of copper pro- ducers in Montana fields.
 The United States Steel stocks were heavily sold and both broke through the figures which popular estimates amongst the speculative element had fixed as the probable level of final sup port by friends of the property. Money on call averaged lower than for any day this week, and this was probably due partly to the sealing down of the stock market loans which was being effected.
 Bonds were irregular and dull. Total

COTTON ADVANCES
 ON BULL SUPPORT
Market Opens Steady With
 Prices Almost Unchanged
SOUTHERN SPOTS ARE FIRM
Bear Pressure Causes Market to Ease Off to a Net Loss, But Recovery Occurs On Renewal of Sup
 port for December.

New York, October 1.-The cotton mar ket had fairly active day, but ruled nervous and Treguarly. The close was steady at d net advance of 4GD10 points; sales were estimated at 275,oOO bales
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of three points, which was considered about as due on the cables. During the early session prices worked up to a net gain of 11Ml5 points on covering by yesterdays sellers and some scattered buying for a turn, which was promoted by the steadhess of the Eng fish market, the large English spot sales, bullish advices from India and absence of any sure indication of weakening among southern spot holders. Later the market eased off under a renewal of local bear pressure, notwithstanding the forecast for frost in the territoTies and in the early afternoon prices show net loss of about three to four points. This was followed by q second advance on a renewal of December bulll support and covering. promoted by disinelination of early sei- lers to carry their commitments over for the week end. The close was within three or four points of the highest point for the season. Private wires from the south were conflicting as to southern spot conditions, but receipts continue very light.
 Receipts at the ports today, 49.060 bales against 45,0S0 last week and 54,17S last year.
 For the week 225,O0O bales against 227, ,697 last week and 944,5H last year
 Today's receipts at New Orleans, S45S bales. against 7799 last year and at Houston, III bales. against 1924 last year.
