New Orleans. Oct. 24-There was no im- provemsnt in condition of market today. In fact values touched new low levels thus far this season. December having sold down to 1O.l7. against 1Os3 at the close of yes. terday.
 There was further trouble in Wall Street many suspensions having taken plaee and call money was quoted at 100 per cent. The enormous shrtnkage in metal values is hay. ing sn unfAvorable effect on conditions In the West. the article havin~ been cut one- half In value since last January, ana, ac- cording to the Boston News Bureau. of oc- tober 10th, shares of forty-six copper con cerns have been more than cut in halves in value, and on the basis of l4M for Amal- gamated. the shrinkage in these stocks has been figured at about S5S6. .0OO. 900. Thie enormous contraction in copper stocks val alone Is startling in the extreme, espes cially when the great drop in the market value of all metals is taken into consider ation.
 The effect upon the stock markets of the world has ben such as to send gilt-edged and per cent. stocks below par today, In effort to check the demorali4ation that appears to be setting in and spreading over turing centsrs. a wire from San Francisco this morning states that legal holiday has been declared By the Governor of Nevada for the next three days in Nevada, during which period all banks will be closed

 In tomorrow's census report, Texas will be the bone of contention. To September 25th, this year the state had gtnned 66S.000 vs t,009, 900 last year. To October 18th of last year Texas had ginned 1898. 900 bales. It is thought the total fo the belt will be about 4.25O,000 vs. 4.a3s.00O one year ago.
