BULLS LIQUlDATE FREELY

New York August 20-The cotton mar ket today was one of the most active and excited sessions experienced since the Sully year. A sensational break in oc- tober carried the price from s.18c, the closing figure of last night, to s.5sc, or a loss of 60 points amounting to about $9 per bale. The close was steady at the decline of 30 to 52 points for the day. Sales were estimated at fully 6O0,O00 bales. The market opened easy at a decline of 5@15 points in responce to lower Liver pool cables. rains in sections which have recently complained of drought, bear pressure and bull liquidation
 After showing a net loss of about 40 points there was a slight rally on cover ing, but the market became even weaker and more active during the afternoon, with the bulls throwing their cotton in large blocks, and at one time the near months were fully 60 points net lower, with later positions showing a net loss of 39Q42 points. It was estimated that the bull crowd liquidated between 100000 and 250ooo bales during the day. There was rally from the lowest in the last lldil HOur On covering, put sentiHieHt coii- tinued very bearish on the idea that a considerable long line remained outstand- ing, and the trade was facing the move ment of a 100000 crop, with no pros pect of even normally active trade de- uand during the autumn.
 One broken alone Is said to have had a selling order for 5000 bales during the afternoon, and other brokers are supposed to have sold from 2O.00o 10 5000 bales. The bears were very heavy buyers at the decline, particularly October. Re- ceipts at the ports today, 729S bales. against 3100 last week and 1705 last year. For the week, 5000 bales, against 24,O37 last week and 10,97s last year.
 Todays receipts at New Orleans, 464 bales, against 56 last year, and at Hous- ton, 673S, against 915 last year.

commerce commission regarding the company's troubles with the switch men was utterly ignored. The closing was strong under the lead of Southern Pacific, which reached its high price on this movement, and strength was sh town by Union Pacific and Atchison, while New York Central gained full point on the day. Proof that Wall streets commission houses are doing little new business Just now is found in a canvas of the leading banks and trust com panies, which reported an enormous decrease in loans compared with the corresponding season of last year and 1908. It Is authoritatively asserted tha the streets official demands for spec ulative purposes have seldom been smaller at any time in the past five years.
 From abroad the only noteworthy news was contained in the weekly statements of the Bank of England and the Bank of France. The British in- stitution reported a total reserve in- crease of S10,600,0 900 and public deposit increase of s14,700, ,000, advancing it's proportion of reserve to liabilities to 52.30 per cent, against 5020 per cent last week. The Bank of France shows a decrease of almost $7,000,000 in note circulation and very small increase in gold on hand. London's attitude of aloofness toward our securities market continues, though some of todays buy ing of Southern Pacific was said to be for that account. Tn the local money market some loans for five and six months were reported at 31s per cent with an easier tone for all dates.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, per value, $2,263, ,000. Government bonds were unchanged on call.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, August 20.-Cotton: Spots were quiet hc down on all grades; mid ding 9%c; sales were 25O bales on spot and 115 to arrive.
 Futures opened barely steady. 2 points below the close yesterday, as result of the spot situation and reports of rains in sections where hot dry weather has pre- vailed. It has been Reported that long in- terests in New York would attempt to dlspose of some of their holdings here, and when 10000 bales were suddenly dumped into the ring an immediate slump followed. This slump was quickly re- Heeted in New York, and from then on there was general recession in values. Liverpool cabled that New York bull onerator was selling heavily in that mar ket. and as the same interests were be- iieved to be liquidating in New Orleans, tha result was that the decline augmented hv hearish weather and crop conditions, continued throughout the greater part of the day. At the close, which was steady. the active months were 2b@S0 points be- low the close yesterday
