THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. October 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance Of
ten points 10 decline of one point. the
near months being relatively firm a re-
suit OF continued bull manipulation. while
the later positions felt the influence OF
good weather in the south and reports
that the recent cut by large western dry
goods Jobbers had been followed by can
cellatipns in the eastern markets. Senu
ment was much confused. and fiuctua-
tons Immediately following the call were
irregular. but the bulls seemed to control
the near positions. and during the middle
OF the morning prices were about 4 to s
points net higher on the active months

The market was weak late in the fore

cotton from some southern points were
a basis permitting OF deliveries on
nearby contracts here. and prices sold off
TO a net decline of 2a7 points. although
December continued TO maintain a sub
stantial premium over the January option.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

A fairly good reflex of the unsettled
condition of the general stock market was
found today in the character of the call
at the meeting of the stock exchange. II
was begun promptly on time. as has been
the practice since Mr.. Hume has been the
presiding officer, and In about five min
utes thereafter all the securities in what
is known as the more active portion Of the
list had been called and the quotations
recorded.
AS of course 1t Is understood, there was
no trading and practically no changes In
the figures. as compared with those Of yes
terday. The chief exception to this gen
eral statement was the lower figures sub
st,tuted for the bid for Mergenthaler,
which merely recorded the prevailing rate
in Boston. where yesterday quite a good
deal of the stock was sold. The bid for
the stock fell to 2O21a. with the asking
price on about the same level as that OF
the day before.
on a range OF from 2OOh to 205. but ths
level reached in Boston was 2O4. There
was no stock for sale today, and, in fact.
nothing that is usually looked upon as
forced selling. A couple OF lots or the
stock of the National Safe sold for 1S5
and 1874 and one ten-share lot OF Wash
lngton Loan and Trust stock for 2O3 and
ten shares OF Commercial Bank for 30.
With falling market in Wall street and
a feeling that possibly still lower levels
may be reached there Is neither the dis
position to buy nor the ability to do so
even IL 1t was thought wise to take that
side of the market. AS usual at such
times. the holders of local securities are
able to take care of what they nave In
spite of shrinkage in current values, 30
that. generally spe aking. the quotations on
the local list are more reflective OF the
situation in the larger market than
Of any change in the earning capacity or
In the future OF the enterprises which are
repre- scented by the securities listed.
