of similar authority to be asked by the
Atlantic Coast Line to issue $223, 566, 900

sion was created of prodigious applica-
lions for capital coming forward
This impression remained even after al
lowing for the small proportion for the
largest of these issues, for which a quick
sale would be sought and for the fact
that most of these issues are for purposes
of refunding obligations already outstand-
ing. Many of these obligations were In
Cured during the financial crisis in 1907
when short time obligations had to be
resorted to and on onerous terms. Com
parison of the rate return offered on
these refunding securities with the rate
paid in the exigent season Of financial
crisis does not indicate cheapening of
capital in any marked degree in spite
of the period of deep depression which
has interviewed since the temporary ac-
commodation was sought. The reported
determination of the British lords to in

EARLY ADVANCE Is SHARP
Realizing and Selling BY Southern

vance Registered.
EARLY ADVANCE Is SHARP

New York, November 1.-THE cotton
market showed continued nervousness to-
day, which was attributed to the posi-
bility of revision of spot differences after
the close, but generally speaking there
was steadier undertone. owing to bull
ish spot and weather advices, with prices
at one time showing a net advance of 10
to 10 points, and closing at net advance
of 1615 points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 5dS points and sold SQ10 net
higher right after the call in response
to much higher Liverpool cables than ex-
pected, and covering. A renewal of
liquidation for over the revision sent
prices off to within or points of the
close yesterday during the morning, but
the market seemed to be attracting sup
port from very strong interests on this
decline Numerous reports came In of
unfavorable weather from the western
belt, and there were many advices of an
for the purpose of filling out November
engagements. These considerations start
ed covering by recent sellers for turn
and an advance started which was not
checked until May contracts sold at
1920 or within points of the high rec
ords for the season. Realizing and south
ern selling became so heavy before the
close, however, and late fluctuations were
irregular with last prices at nearly the
lowest level Of the day on active months.
May closed at 15.17o bid. Reports from
Texas indicate that all hope of a top
crop must be abandoned as result of
very low temperatures following rains
or sleet.
Southern spot markets officially re-
ported were unchanged to Nc higher,
and many points in the south reported a
better demand both from domestic mills
and exporters.
