ton in the price of copper at the New York metal exchange of Ac per pound. Sentiment over the situation in the metal market was appreciably improved, nev- ertheless, and confidence was expressed that more effective demand was being approached which gave promise that the market would right itself.
 The conspicuous strength of the Hill stocks was evidently due to assumptions of the benefits to flow from the higher dividend distribution of Burlington stock holders. Union Pacific shared in this movement although in a lesser degree. Reports were current of a strong show ing to be made by Reading In it's forth coming report Continued unsettlement in the cotton market was the only indica- tion of the readjustment going on of earlier unfavorable views of the crop prospects.
 Money on call continued firm and there was a stronger tone in the time loan market. The feature of the money mar ket Is the large supply of mercantile paper and the high rates commanded by all but the choicest grades.
 Large transfers to New Orleans through the sub treasury yesterday and today are explained by the activity in the cotton market and a failure of cotton brokers in that city offered additional explana- ton.
 Bonds were irregular Total sales, par value, $1,7s2000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

STOCKS RECOVER

 On the Market-Money
 Continues Firm.

New York, September H-Stocks had a good recovery today and the vigorous movement upwards was in face of some unfavorable factors. Operators in stocks were very busy discussing the resump- ton of the proceedings in the government suit against the Standard Oil company, but it was evident that the long course of preparation for this occurrence had ex- hausted the requirement. The same was true of the disclosure in sworn testi- mony in court of the precarious state of health of a former capitalist in the cop per industry, that persons serious ill- ness having been reported and exagger- ated to the point of an alleged fatal term nation many times In the course of the recent bear campaign. The facts as now learned were given a large Interpretation of the whole course of the market in July and August. The market conse- quently gave every evidence of being oversold.
 A confirmation was seen in the loan rates for stocks, some of which have commanded a small premium with the loan crowd. This fact was only accepted for It's value today after prices turned upwards, as it is a favorite device In a liquidating market to borrow stocks for delivery to avoid the transfer of hold ings in the name of influential holders and give the appearance at the same time of a short interest in the market. The bears have ignored the significance of the demand in the loan crowd so long as they have the weak spot in the metal securities to help in forcing prices downward. With relief for that weak spot today the influence of the strength for several days manifest in the rail- road group asserted itself on the whole market.
 Besides the requirement. of an uncover ed short interest the copper industr1als had the benefit of a violent rebound in the price of copper in London today spot copper rising there three pounds twelve shillings and six pence per ton In contrast, there was further reduc-

 RALLIES A LITTLE Prices Open Higher But Again
 Make a Slump NEW LOW POINT REACHED
Private Condition Report Has Bearish Effect on Market, Which Suffers From Heavy Flood of Liqui-
 dation in the Afternoon.

New York, September 1.-The cotton during today's trading. Prices made a new low level for the movement dur ing the middle of the day, but rallied later and closed steady at a net ad- vance of and 9 points; sales for the day were estimated at 500000 bales. The opening was firm at an advance of Il and IS points owing to higher cables than expected and covering by shorts as we'll as some buying on the reaction theory but offerings were very heavy on the bulge by the bears who had taken profits on the drop of yesterday. Prices weakened after the opening and just after midday sold off to a net decline of IA and 16 points with Oe- tober reaching 1o.sS and January HOS or about 2S to 30 points below the level of the morning.
 private condition report showing deterioration of only 1s per cent for the past two weeks encouraged the decline, while private wires reported a small failure in the New Orleans mar ket. This was followed by quite sharp rally in the late trading on cover ing of shorts and buying for turn based on the increasing short interest and the reduction in the long account.
 Receipts at the ports today S0,060, against 17.6S3 last week and 46,71s last year. For the week 900 bales, against 9s,15o last week and 1S5,s36 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 1O51 against 9569 last year.
