Careful complld- tions of the gold movement indicated a rapid approach to the s100,000,000 mark in the appregate of the engagements. Under these circumstances, the proposition for currency relief is largely in abeyance, after having served much of it's intended purpose so far, and it had helped in the restoration of confidence while the course of events had detracted from the inde- pendence of the question of its final work ing out. The market remained unruffled by the manifest improvement in the bank ing position and the condition of the cir culation and prices declined without much interruption from start to finish.

COTTON MARKET
 REFUSES ID GO UP Advance Occurs At Opening But
 Does Not Hold TOO MUCH REALIZATION Reports That Mills Will Close Down For Period and a Bearish Crop
 Estimate Cause a Decline
 Before the Close.
TOO MUCH REALIZATION

New York. November 25-The cot ton market was moderately active to- day with fluctuations irregular and the close steady, s points higher for No- vember, but generally 3 to points net lower on other options. Sales esti- mated at 275.oo0 bales.
 The market opened steady, to 2 points higher and during the early session sold up to a net advance of II to II points on covering of shorts and bull support which was probably in- spired by the higher Liverpool cables reports that Lancashire labor troubles had been settled, and expectations of bullish private crop estimate at mid day. January sold at 10 50 on the ad- vance. but no stop orders were caught at this figure as expected and later the market eased off under realizing or liquidation by early buyers who may also have been disappointed by the announcement that the private estimate looked for at mid d-day would not be issued until next Friday. Reports that many New England mills would close down from Wednesday for the balance of the week and would go on short time next week probably promoted sell ing during the afternoon when the market ruled rather easy and unsettled, with the close only a point or two up from the lowest. A private crop esti- mate issued early placed the yield at 12,000.000 bales. Private wires re ported frmness on the part of interior holders and bulls claimed that Caro- lima mills were in the market for raw cotton.
 Receipts at the ports today, 54,29S, against 6S,3S4 last week, and 6S,099 last year. For the week, 350000, against 351,533 last week, and 402,138 last year. fFodays receipts at New Orleans, IT, 905, against 15,766 last year, and at Houston, 7435, against 16,417 last year.

 Futures opened steady to : points above the close Saturday as result of favorable advices from Liverpool The requisite support to hold the ad- vance was not forthcoming, however. and after the call there was a reces- sion in values. in which reports of heavy selling also figured as a bearish factor. When scarcity of offerings in the spot market brought about an advance on all spot grades 1t served to regain for the future market some of it's early losses, although the close found lower levels than the close Sat urday. The close was steady with-the active months unchanged to 1 point below the close Saturday.
