DEPRESSION IN

  Some Issues Reach New Low Levels for the Year BANKERS NOT DISTURBED Slump In the Market Is Considered Partly Sentimental, With No Real Basis for Hammerins
 Down Stocks.
BANKERS NOT DISTURBED

New York. November 15.-The stoeiN market took on the appearance or d severe depression again today and solo down for some stocks to new low levels for the year. The liquidation was not large in volume. but it was apparently urgent and there was no correspond ing demand to absorb it. The bear party was accused, also, with some bitterness of manipulating prices to aid the deeilhe and to profit from the necessities of the sellers.
 It was common supposition that the process going on was what~the market parlance calls clearing up of wreckage' meaning the selling out of stocks carried through the late period of peril, or which had been taken over outright from em- barrassed houses capitalists able to carry them. A number of circumstances today also emphasized the weakness, al through the mediate effect was confined to individual stocks. New York Central was the earliest stock to be affected Tn this way, responding to the published re- ports of formation of finance commit tee to consider the further changes in methods that were to be met.
 The United States Steel stocks con- tinued to feel the effects of the growing evidence of raction in that trade and this was of cumulative effect on the whole list, owing to the importance attached to the trade as an index of general indus trial conditions. Later in the day the Hartman Pacifics were brought into line of depression by the publication of the earnings of the companies for Septem- Der. Net earnings of both companies showed heavy declines compared with September of the preceding year in spite of the continued expansion in gross earn ings.
 The tendency thus disclosed has become fairly general in the reports of rail- roads earnings for September owing to the progressive growth in operating cost which had become manifest many months ago. The great increase in cost of ma terials of all kinds which is responsl- ble for this tendency lies back of the whole question of causes for the present crisis, such showings of business re- suits making the deduction plain that re- duced consumption would be a necessary consequence of the price levels thus represented. Opinion on the general sit uation was distinctly brighter in spite of the apparent gloom that overspread the stock market.
 The depression was partly sentimental and associated with the tragic ending of the life of the former president of the knickerbocker Trust company. The prem ium on currency was inclined to relax.
 Deman[s from interior banks on their New York correspondents were met today without much dictation of terms. Esti- mates of the weeks cash movement in dicate a moderate loss by the bankc, owing to the continued heavy shipments to the interior but an improved bank posi- tion is expected owing to the lack of refeetion of the early gold imports in last week bank statement.

DOWNWARD TURN IN
 COTTON MARKET Wall Street Weakness ReSpOn-

 Advantage of Every
 Opportunity.
BULL POOL STILL ACTIVE

New York, November 15-The cotton market was easier today, closing at a net decline of to 15 points on all months except November which was net un- changed. Sales were estimated at 175,- coo
 The market opened steady at decline of 8 to points in response to disap- pointing eablesland while there seemed to be some support at first, there was no rally of consequence and the general tendency was downward. the lowest point being reached in the afternoon when January sold at e.92 and March at 10.O1, or IS points net lower. Unfavorable trade reports and weakness in Wall street seemed to be the main bearish fac tors for there was no sign of weakness on the part of the December bull pool, and while a rumor was circulated in the afternoon that loans had been called on cotton in the local stock, this was prompt ly denied and nothing developed in the later trading to indicated such a eond- tion
 Most of the private wires from the south reported steadiness on the part of holders and there seems to be some demand for spot cotton for November shipment and possibly for delivery on December contract here, which is q sustaining factor for the time being Most of the private cables from Liverpool a favorable opinion of the market, not withstanding the lower quotations received from there, but one cable received late in the day stated that oldham. masters were refusing to advance wages and that there was every possibility of a strike in Lancashire. Other cables said that no strike was probable.
 Receipts at the ports today were 5S- 019 bales, against 65,545 last week and 67, 472- last year. For the week, S60,0OO, against ,976 last week and 41S,SH last year. Todays receipts at Houston, 10, 16s, against 19,331 last year.

COTTON

New York November 15.-Some misap- prehension seems to have been created by my advertised offer, published on Thursday, to supply cash, at the current premium, against New York exchange, or to advance 90 per cent of the prospec- tive proceeds against cotton shipped to New York for delivery on December con- tracts. An impression has gained cur rency that this offer was made with a view of inducing holders of cotton in the south to sell. and so depress the mar ket. Such Is not the case, and although l. personally, expect lower prices for cotton, have no desire to impose my views upon others, to whom they are not agreeable
 I would. therefore, point out to those who are holding cotton, in the expecta- ton of higher prices. that the operation will be rendered really more economical for them. if they ship that cotton to New York. deliver it on December con tracts. and purchase, instead of the cot ton so delivered. contracts for May de- livery At this writing cotton can be sold for December delivery in New York, at 43c per pound, basis mid ding New York contract terms and cotton can be bought for May delivery. i. G., five months later, on the same terms. at 10.20c per pound. The diff ference between the two quotations Is equal to $1.15 per bale. The cost of carrying cotton, including storage, in- surance, loss in weight and interest at 6 per cent for five months, is hardly less than s2.5o per bale. This makes q total saving of $3.65 bale to those who intend holding cotton sfor an ad- vance and are so holding the actual cotton, at present In other words, planter or merchant who at present Is holding 100 bales of cotton at the expecta- ton of realizing 12 or 15 cents pound for it, will increase his profits Of his hopes are iustifed) by exactly s3.65. if he now sells his cotton for December de- livery in New York and purchases cot ton for May delivery in New York in stead. He will. in addition, relieve the financial situation by making the pro ceeds of the cotton he sells immediately available in cash. and will furthermore increase the probability of higher prices in the spring, as of course, no actual scarcity in the supply (however small the crop) can be felt until next May of June, and the less cotton there is at that time for sale. the higher the mar ket will go.

New Orleans, November 15.-Spot cot ton was quiet, 1sc lower on all grades. Middling, 10&e. Sales were 210O bales on the spot and 950 to arrive. Futures opened steady, 1 to points below the close yesterday, as a result of unfavor- able advices from Liverpool. Fairly good support was given shortly after the open ing on the absence of offerings in the local market and brought about slight advance. Later when the volume of of ferngs caused a slackening of the spot demand futures eased off, but were steady at the decline. In the late session tho small demand for spots continued in evil denee and futures were somewhat neg lected in consequence. At the close which was steady, the active months ranged from F to 2l points below the close yesterday.
