THE STOCK MARKET


 Nv York, Nov. -s.-The irregular movement of prices today betrayed the lhroes Of the process of digestion to Nnlch the market was Subjected by the recent heavy buyers, as well as by the holders of longer standing.
 Although the market staggered un- ger this treatment 1t showed strong apsorptiVe character and power of re- distance. This action served to keep up speculative confidence and to en- courage the renewed operations on the after the reaction of the first hour. The skillful professional element of the speculative operators in the mar ket was made wary by the character week and were in dread fo the effects of the first wave of profit taking sales. The inevitable tendency of promis- supply of stocks to pass from the hands of the rich class of capitalists. with abundant means to protect their holdings and abundant experience of erous widely scattered and unconnect- ed small holders. most of them with small means. operating on insufficient margin. and likely Therefore to be forced to sell at a sacrifice at the com paratively slight reaction in the mar ket. Even so moderate a recession as that of the early part of today revealed selling orders placed at limits below the prices of Saturday, with the pur- pose of saving profits or stopping losses in case of a break in prices. It has been this situation, although in exaggerated form which has caused the worst demoralization in stock mar kets of the past. It was feared for a time that the incident would topple over the speculative fabrics which had been met in the decision on Saturday of the government suit against the American Tobacco Securities them. selves as a good part of the general pressure on the market ascribed to thts Influence. While it was partly offset by the vigorous up-bidding of few stocks the disposition to realize spec ulative profits continued in evidence. A significant development Of the day was the decided tightening of the time money market and which was reported much active and with tenders growing ly inclined to hold off for higher rates. This is the natural consequence of the quick ening of commercial and indus trial activity and the certainty of large acquisitions for loans by corpor- ations of all classes to prepare facili- ties for supplying the increased de- mand The considerations bearing on the technical speculative position. dom. mated the market to the exclusion or the facts bearing on the actual values. Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value, $6.532, ,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

IMPETUS TO COTTON PROBABLY 1000 BALES WERE SOLD FOR EXPORT.
  General Increase in Dry Goods Demand and Industrial Activity Give
 Life to the Mar-
 ket

Through the pail of inactivity that has enveloped the cotton world for the past month, there glimmered, on Monday. for the first time, some prospect of life. the spot quotations. 1i-1sc and % being offered. there was a remarkable sale of the staple between factor and shipper. probably 2,o0o bales being sold for exporta- tson. as against the record of an absolute lack of sales for the weeks foregone.
 And the entire atmosphere of the mar ket. ct the opening of the week, is sur charged with potent optimism. feeling that better times are at hand prevails, en- gendered by betterment of demand. and the prospect of c big crop.
 The big crop idea is gathered from the 9tnners' report made Monday The report shows that s,1ss. 7ss bales of cotton have for the same time last year. And. as com parative figures show that about 55 per cent. of the crop is ginn 0ed at this date a foreeast would give the total crop of 190S-09 as something over 14.000,0O0 bales, as against 1s.00e. 600 odd for 19oT-0s. It is able weather prevailed this year for pick Ing and this exaggerates the crop stzc indi- cations.
 The market on Monday was given an impetus by the bullish sinners report and by the favorable news that the big Lanca- ors. together with boost which has been received in the dry goods market and a consequent demand for cotton. has had it's effect in the buoyancy which somehow crops out in the cotton world now.
 And while this buoyancy has not yet materially affected the spot prices 1t is hoped, and believed by some. that the next gew days will bring forth something In the nature of a marked rise for the farm CT.
