THE STOCK MARKET.

New York, October 16.-There were
a number of quick Transformations In
the stock market today which proved
exceedingly unsettling to sentiment.
The squall which struck the market
about o'cock represented complete
reversal of the form of the first hour,
when there was general feeling of
relief and growing confidence that the
market had righted itself and placed
most of it's troubles behind it. 1t was
believed that some of the stocks which
We're bought yesterday for support of
prices We're being resold to the shorts
London turned buyer here and this
helped to lower foreign exchange rate.
There were also some acceptances re-
ported of American finance bills by
London which was source Of relief
to the local money market. Call
money was firmer in tone, however,
and loaned at 5 per cent, partly in
Onnection with the furry in the stock
market Liquidation of collateral in
loans played a part in the weakness
there. Southern Pacific was among the
first stocks to break away from the
early upward tendency and the reiter-
alton of reports that proof had been
obtained against the company account
ed for it's weakness. The weakness of
the copper stocks was aggravated by
the assurance felt that the dividend
on Amalgamated Copper will be cut at
the meeting tomorrow.
The late rally in the market was &C
companied by reports that arrange
ments had been made to tide over the
troubles of the group of capitalists
whose affairs had become involved and
whose contortions are believed to be
largely responsible for the recent pc
cultar operations in the curb markets.
Bonds were weak. Total sales par
value $2.008 900. United States Is and
the IS registered declined IA per cent
on call Total sales stocks today We're
1,024,900 shares.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, October 16-The cotton
market was very nervous and irregular
today, the feature being the furry in
the December option, which sold near
ly 40 points above January. The close
was firmer the near positions were
Ii to % points net higher and later
months which We're net unchanged to
II points lower Sales We're estimated
at 225,0O0 bales.
The opening was steady at a decline
OF 2 points to an advance of points,
the gains being on the near positions
which were Influenced by higher
cables, while later months felt the ef-
ect of more favorable weather reports
from the south. Immediately after the
opening the general list showed a net
oss of 2 to 3 points but quickly rallied
on Liverpool buying and bull support
following private cabes from Liverpool
ich claimed that the Russian crop
lad been destroyed by frost. After SELL
ing up to a net advance of to II
points the market eased off to last
nights figures but advanced sharply
during the afternoon on aggressive
support of December by the leading
bulls and covering. December sold up
to 1925 or 25 points net higher while
later months showed a net gain Of
s to II points,
December maintained it's gain over
January, however, and the close was
net II to % poiats up from the lowest
