GEORGE GOULD SAYS BANKS
ABROAD DISTRUST US.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-George J..
Gould returned from Europe yesterday
on the Kronprinzessin Cecilie. Mr..
Gould was abroad when Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., in July. took over the railroad
holdings of the Pearson -Farquhar syn
dieate, which included large blocks of
Missouri Pacific, Wabash and Denver
and Rio Grande. When questioned
about general trade conditions, he said:
The present inertia and dulness
from whatever cause it may arise can
not continue forever. The impression
abroad is that there is too much un-
certainty arising from Investigations
and new laws, which are proposed or
already on the statute books, and for
eign investors are not now purchasing
our securities, either stocks or bonds.
I do not care to state what I consider
to be the principal cause of the foreign
lack of confidence in the commerce and
finances of this country"

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance OF
1 point to a decline of points and
quickly weakened under aggressive
selling by local bears and trade inter-
ests with prices showing a net loss of
about 4@9 points shortly after the call.
Reports that the West Indian storm
was passing south of the Texas coast
and claims of freer southern spot Of
ferings probably inspired the selling,
but there was good demand on scale
down. with spot people buying October.
Offerings became less urgent as soon
as 1t was seen that the decline was,
meeting opposition from trade sources,
and the market later in the morning,
while comparatively quiet, ruled gen.
orally steady. with prices working up
to about or a shade over the closing
figures of yesterday at midday. The
western belt forecast was for, showers
