should take very large amount of gold-which
II can scarcely do unless the government ma
terially adds TO its supply of gold bars avail
able for export transactions-there is not much
chance of money rates advancing to a level
which will be at all restrictive to stock market
operations.
In addition 10 the money held by New York
banks, the loanng institutions of the interior
are in a position to gradually enlarge their ad-
vances 10 the Wall street loan market should
money at New York command high enough
level to make the operation worth while. There
is, in fact. q vast amount of capital at the
command of the banks of the interior which
could be speedily released in the event of any
violent rise of money at New York. The real
test of the money market win in March
or April. when the spring disbursements will
have TO be financed and when about $3.50, 000. 600
of idle money viii be tied up in the vaults OF
New York city trust companies under the re-
quirements of the cash reserve law. which
becomes fully effective on February l next.

New york Cotton Narket

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Hutton's wire says
Local cotton opened steady, unchanged 10 2
points advance Trading was quite large. There
was aggressive buying by the bull pool. Liver
pool claims more cotton offerings from the
SOUTH and their decline of points in spots no
doubt confirmed this The south sold October in
this market quite freely
The cotton market reached new high levels
for all options today but there so much
evidence of manipulation the bulling of the
near positions that the advance hardly as
impressive the price indicated Brokers
for leading spot interest bid up March ag-
gressively and there all sorts of talk about
squeeze to be attempted in March delivery
with predictions that shorts would not be per
mitted to cover except by bringing cetton here
Southern spot markets were substantially higher
and generally steady. Texas reports state that
the recent cold wave has done great deal of
killing of boil weeyils and other insects. The
into-sight for the week was 341.O00 bales
against 325. 600 last year. The total is about
2, 100. 600 bales more than last year.
