COTTON MARKET
MAKES NEW RECORD
Most Active In History of New
York Exchange
THE CLOSE is STEADY
August Contracts Sell for So Per Bale
Above Mondays closing-More
Than a Million Bales Are Sold
During the Day.

New York, November 3-Today's cot
ton market was the most active of the
season, and probably In the history of
the New York exchange. A decline of
about 80 points. following an initial adj
vance was followed in turn by renewed
strength with prices making new high
records during the afternoon. The close
was steady, active months generally be-
ing Il to IS higher.
August contracts sold more than s.
per bale above Mondays closing. The
market had very excited opening ow
ing to sensational gains In Liverpool
and New Orleans, while New York was
closed yesterday and first prices were
5 to points higher, with active months
selling to II points net higher during
the first few minutes.
This advance established new high rec
ords and attracted enormous realizing.
AT first the market was pretty well sus-
tanned by the covering of foreign strad
dies but as the demand from this source
slackened toward the close of the Liver
pool market, offerings here became even
heavier and more general as result
VI iuHioIS THAT falteu was unloading,
and prices broke from 15.01c to 14.74c for
January, and from 1920 to 1880 for
May, or about 1.50 per bale. At the de-
cline, however, leading southern bulls
became aggressive buyers. the Patten
rumors were denied and the market re-
covered Its loss In sensational style. Jan
uary touching .10c and May 1890, or
II to 20 points net higher.
Only slight reactions occurred during
the last few minutes with January clos
ing at 15.06c and May at 1890 bid. There
was considerable talk of less satisfac-
tory spot conditions in the south and of
further shipments for delivery on local
contracts but the southern spot mar
kets officially reported today were nc
to sc higher, and this showing probably
helped futures during the afternoon,
Over 400 crop estimates compiled by
a local paper showed an average crop
of 10,950,000 bales and a prominent local
statistician estimated only e.so5,0O0 ginned
to November 1, against S,122.000 last year.
The total sales today were estimated at
over a million bales
Today's receipts 57,573 bales against
67S65 last week and 6S,S44 last year. For
the week 100000 against 1881 last week
and $4,000 last year. Today's receipts
at New Orleans 1880 against 1903 last
year, and at Houston 12,070 against 2e,-
404 last year.

RATE ON CALL MONEY

New York November 3.-The quiet con-
Idition in the speculation which respected
Financial authorities have been advising
| for several weeks past was in evidence
today. 1t was supposed to be due in
| part to the delay in the return from
election day holiday visits on the part
of brokerage fraternity. There was suf-
|ficient uncertainty acknowledged in the
money outlook to account for the hating
tendency in the markets activity.
The call money rate did not rise again
Ito the 5-per cent rate touched late on
Monday, but the figures of the clear
ing house exchanges for that day gave
hint of the special demand on the
banks The settlement effected between
the clearing house banks for that day
amounted to the prodgious total sef $780,
461 $40.
The nearest approach ever made to
these figures was on January 8, 1905,
when exchanges at the clearing house
were reported at 800. Call money
in that week went to 60 per cent at
the stock exchange and the daily sales
of stocks averaged nearly million and
stock market operations were quiet and
the banks do not report any extraor-
binary transaction to swell the figures
of the exchange beyond the demands IN
cident to the November first payments
and possibly some anticipatory business
prompted by the election day holiday to
follow.
During October clearing house ex-
changes ran very high throughout the
country, in many instances constituting
actual records at important points. This
is but one of the evidences Of the ex-
panding trade activity of the country and
the consequent demand for money.
Reports from Chicago today are OF
loaned I'D conditions of the banks there.
This and the active grain movement
raises the question of the duration of
the customary lull at about this period
I'm the interior demand for currency. Ihe
further opening up of commercial de-
nand for funds which is expected with
the new year also has to be reckoned
with. Abroad there was an easing of
the private discount rate in London to-
day which had some effect on foreign
exchange rates here, but in Paris the
private discount rate stiffened and the
exchange rate on London ran off. The
sub-treasury is lifting money freely from
the open market here, the absorption on
that account for the banking week ris-
ing today to s43s9 900 compared with 3d.,
0420O0 in the corresponding period last
week.
All these things suggest the advisability
of caution in speculative commitments to
sonserve the money market resources
and to avoid the risk of pinch in the
call loan market, which might embarass
holders of stocks on margin. The luH
in activity was especially noticeable in
the handful of stocks in which a one
quarter to one and half of the total
dealings for weeks past have taken place.
At the same time there was some diver

The subscription rights for the new
stock were quoted in the outside mar

in buying the rights against sales of

Report Is Untrue,

st. Petersburg, November 3.-Yester-
days report that Nicholas Tschiakovsky
the revolutionary leader, had been ar
rested and imprisoned, was today proven
untrue. He had been at liberty under
bail for some time, pending trials for
completely in acts of terrorism The re-
port that Tschiakovsky had been ar
rested originated probably from the fact
that he received notice from the
crown prosecutor that his trial would be
held in December. He will be tried by
a civil court on an indictment which
charges him with conspiracy to over
throw the government. The maximum
penalty for this offense Is exile or eight
years penal servitude. The same court
will try Madame Cathtrine Bresnokov-
skaya on similar charge. The woman,
If convicted, may receive sentence of
Is years Imprisonment.

FOOTBALL BARBAROUS.
Should Kick Ball and Not Each Other,
Says Archbishop Ryan.

Philadelphia, November 3.-"Football, as
played at present by the college teams of
this country, is barbarous and ought to
be abolished said Archbishop Ryan of
this city today. Instead, they should play
association football, as it is called now
adays 1t is the kind We played when
was at college, where the players kick
the BALI and not each other"
Archbishop Ryans comment was
brought out by the death of Michael
Burke, student at the Medico- Chirug-
ical college, who received fatal injuries
in a game last Saturday. Burke, whose
home was in Shenandoah, was a member
of the cathedral while attending college
here, and was personally known to the
Burkes funeral, which will
rugical students, will be held tomor-
row.
