Sales on the spot, $50 bales; to arrive,
1,0J0.
Futures opened steady on an advance
of to IL points on an unexpected rise in
Liverpool. After the call the advance
was continued on fresh buying orders
from the bull side, which disre garded
bearish weekend statistics and the posi-
bility of let-up in the spot demand dur
ing the first week in November.
At the highest. the more active de-
Iiveries were 10 to IS points over yes
terday's closing. March was sent over
the fifteen-cent mark. and all option :
made new high records for the season.
Toward the close of the session longs took
profits freely, and this caused prices to
sag off somewhat, although the market
was steady until the closing, which was
six to seven points over yesterdays clos
ing.
Futures this week made an advance OF
81 to So points over last weeks closing.
This rise was due to bull aggressiveness.
to an all-devouring spot demand, and TO
a general tendency to accept small crop
estimates. Perhaps the CHI eff event of the
week was Putting out by what may be
considered the most consistent bear house

Tipped for Big Advance.

AHalgamated Copper is being most in
dus.riq,lsly and persistently tipped for n
big advance, not on merit. but on inys-
ter. The commonly expressed judgment
of Amalgamated is that ii sells for about
double what II is worth. The alleged
reason for the bull tip ON the stock is
that before long d large number Of inde-
pendent copper companies will be taken
over into tfle Amalgamated, and that
when this is done it will be possible for
that company TO produce all the metal
that can be sold as cheaply as the Gug-
yci.heims Senator Clark or Phelps.

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, October 3O.-The stock ex-
change after a week of vacillating firm
ness and extreme uncertainty and weak
ness. finished bright and cheerful with a
hardening tendency in most departments.
The chief adverse influence in the early
part of the week was the dearer money
and the consequent higher carry-over
rates for the settlement, which induced
much liquidation, especially In the Amer
lean and Kaffir sections, while the recent
decline caused nervousness regarding the
outcome of the settlement. Two small
failures resulted and other operators had
TO be assisted, but the fact that there
was no serious trouble appeared to put
the market in happy mood at the end OF
the week.
One of the best features is the fact that
the bank is buying up gold i'm the open
market I'm the absence OF any change in
the Berlin and London bank rates, and
although discount houses were inclined
to let rates ease thereon, the action OF
the authorities In taking cash on the
market indicated a determination to make
the ; per cent rate of discount effective
and caused necessary Improvement Ia
out side rates. making il possible for the
bank to build up Its reserve from fresh
arrivals without recourse 10 more stern
measures.
Home rails and other British invest
ment stocks responded to the more cheer
full feeling at the end of the week and
show a good recovery. while Kaffirs and
copper shares attracted increased atten-
ton. Amalgamated showing a net gain
on the week of seven points. Canadian
Pacific and Grand Trunk issues closed
strong on good September revenue state
ments. but Buenos Aires and Pacific rails
dropped about eleven points on the unfa-
yorable annual report
American shares, with cheaper money
in New York. showed remarkable
strength against the various bear drives
The per cent carry-over rate of the
settlement caused moderate ssetback
but Wall street buying carried prices
steadily upward again. and with the mar
ket today again firm the final rates are
TO points higher than last Saturday.

Another Financier's Opinion.

doubt be plenty of money 10 go round
he was quite convinced that within the
next ten DAYS or two weeks large
volume of stocks sold BY Europe would

therefor eXacted. He said he had every
reason 20 believe that great many
stocks are on their way here. and that
in taking care OF them the New York
money market would be subjected TO a
severe strain. The bulk OF these stocks,
he said, had been bought by European
investors during panic times, and We're
sold back 20. US at a very large profit. He
would not undertake to estimate the az
.regate profit on these completed trans
actions, but said they must run into
tens of millions OF dollars. He had been
informed that between 10000 ard
2.cp.Oo shares had been bought by Eu-
rope at bargain prices, and that at cur

from 30 per cent to 100 per cent profit
