New York, February l3,-The quicter
and more settled conditions which de-
veloped in last weeks stock market
after the violent disturbance of Mon
day were regarded as evidence of pro-
gress in completing the precautionary
steps called for by doubtful factors in
the outlook by miscaculatcd action in
the past. The character of the selling
at the opening of the week left no
room for doubt that a penalty was boz
ing paid for reckless speculative eN-
cess In the period OF rising prices last
year.
There was no general agreement on
the causes for this apparent miscar.
riagc of large speculative movements.
Such signs as have appeared of lull
in trade activity are interpreted both
as cause and effect OF the fall In
prices of stock. That those are pre-
monitory symptoms of q general trade
recession is a view profcssed by some
authorities with claims to being finan-
cial leaders. Better authority holds
tho opinion that tho excess OF the pre-
vious speculation itself Is responsible
for the violence of the reaction.
The heavy loan contraction by tho
banks, which has accompanied the de-
flation of stock market values. proves
how largely credit resources were de-

New York February 13.--Tlie trading
in cotton last week was moderately
active, with the market showing all
around hrnness, chiefly on large spot
sales at Liverpool to Continental spin
ncrs and better trade conditions at
Manchester, together with tho cOntin-
ucd strength or the Southern spot mar
kets. These conditions have caused
Il small preponderance of demand for
futures here over recent selling, with
the result that prices have averaged
about 81 per bale higher than Mondays
prices for the general option list The
principal strength has been in the
nearby deliveries for the old crop.
with March going up to 1880, against
1907 for May and 1896 for July,
against the lowest prices OF 1873 for
March and 14.71 for May ard 1i.55 for
July, the low levels reached on Tues
day Prices closed last night to ii
points off from the extreme high
prices. with May quoted at 149a I"lv
1852, against 1890 for March. Total
volume Of husiress has ranged between
I 10000 to 100000 bales per day, which

was against daily spot sales averaging
about 1000 bales
Little Selling Pressure.
The general situation and outlook
have shown little change beyond the
better demand for spot cotton at l.lH-
1 erpool and the continued absence of
any important selling pressure from
holders in the South. There has been
talk of reaction in general business,
but SO tar nothing of Importance has
developed in the dry goods markets
or in the business at first hands in

The principal interior and seaboard re-
ceivtng points in the South continue

ity with this market. Stocks here will
not show any increase until these con-
dltions change. Tho total amount OF

houses is 100000 bales. against 166. onn
OF this amount $4,000 are OF certi-
fed or contract grade, against 151.nno

Most OF this cotton is owned by the

clique. although the latter have ship

10000 a'es in the aggregate.
Movement of the Crop.

Safeguarding Banks.

II is worthy of notice that one of
the means proposed for safeguarding
against incorporation of funds by
bank employees is general advance in
salaries, and novel as this may strike
some, 1t has a practical aspect. OF
course, It would not do to urge this
proposition too generally, for that
might reflect on some bank clerks and
officers whom no amount of money
could tempt, but, just the same, good
men have doubtless gone wrong for no
other reason than that, trusted with
large sums Of money, they fell when
impressed with the relative inadequacy
Of their own compensation.
But It is well, at least, that the
bankers have come to realize the
necessity Of some definite action to
prevent populations from within. The
loss Of Ss5,O0O,OOo in I'VE years, an
average Of s7.0Oo.OOO a year, Is GER
tainly enough to bring them to this
awakening. and when one considers
the extreme measures of precaution
they have taken, with such excellent
success, against the bank burglar, he
can but wonder that they should have
delayed this long directing their at
tsntion to the other side.
If banks are menaced from within
far more than from without, it is high
time they were throwing up some eff
fective fortincations at least calculated
to reduce the possibility Of robbery by
