COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW, YORK. August 27.-There was a
sensational jump in price OF August cotton
today as result of covering by some OF
the remaining shorts, and a new high
record was made for the season. as Au-
gust sold at 1890, or b points above the
closing price OF last night. and 81 points
above the low price made yesterday
morning. when notices of delivery were
circulating. .he bulls sold little cot
ton on the advance, and there was a
little selling by spot people, probably
against a few hundred bales OF cotton
near enough to New York to be brought
here in time for delivery on short notices
next week. but while the price broke from
the early high point to 1915 1t later raj
lied to 1853. showing the control or the
bull leaders. and closed at 1852 bid. The
big fluctuations in August had very little
effect on the rest OF the market. and
while August closed at net advance OF
2S points later months were 1a3 points
lower with the closing tone quiet and
steady.
The market opened firm at an advance

on later months, which were Influenced
by the sensational strength of the spot
position. better cables than expected ana

has been the case on recent bulees. now
ever, the advance was not accompanied
by any broadening out of outside de-
mand. and when the upward movement
in August was checked prices gradually
worked back TO a shade under the closing
figures OF yesterday, under realizing re-
port of improved condition in Alabama
and Georgia. Estimates as to the amount
of short interest remaining in August
vary from a few thousand bales mp 10
about 1900 bales, and after the close or
the market today all sorts of predictions
were heard as to the price likely to be
reached for that delivery before trading

AVERAGE.

The Financier says this week:
The statement Of the New York asso-
ciated banks this week says that the
gradual drawing off of reserves to meet
reasonable requirements which began
last week Is fairly under way. Accord
ing to the actual statement. the loss in
cash was $2.415. 500 which closely ap-
proximated previous estimates Of the
currency movement. Reserve require
ments, however. were decreased by a
loss Of So. 259, 700 in deposits. the surplus
reserv~ being brought down through
these operations to S49. O46,95O. a loss of
only $1,6OQ,S75.
This still leaves the banks with 2Ss7
per cent reserve, against 26.31 a year
ago. The average statement showed a
smaller loss in cash. but this was proba-
bly, due to- the fact that most OF the
shipments took place at the end of the
week. Loans expanded over ten millions,
according to the statement of averages,
while the actual statement showed a
very slight increase. The state banks

lost cash to some extent and increased
deposits, thereby effecting a reduction in

Not Disturbed Over Money.

The money situation is not causing
any disturbance in conservative banking
circles The opinions expressed in this
column a week ago from reliable west
ern bankers are confirmed. There seems
to be little doubt but that the west can
take care Of itself throughout the crop
moving period. Western banks have
been calling in loans and compelling
curtailment Of real estate and other
speculation to a very large extent, and
are fortifying their reserves by every
means within their power.
In New York money is abundant at
easy rates, indicating a plethora Of idle
funds due, no doubt, to lack Of specula-
tive activity. In these circumstances
there does not seem to be any probability
Of a money squeeze this autumn 50 far
as this factor exerts influence 1t should
be favorable to security market values,
but it is largely lost sight of in the con-
fiux Of opinion concerning more inn
mediate dominating influences
Cheap money is not by any means an
entirely optimistic feature. 1t often Sig
nifies just sheer timidity of capital. When
the owner of surplus funds Is unwilling
to invest, he naturally loans his money
out at the best rates he can procure.
This seems to be the explanation OF the
present money market. But, of course, IT
cannot be gainsaid that ample funds at
easy rates should be encouraging to
those who wish to attempt a bull move
ment.
1t seems idle at this time to discuss
special stocks The security market
practically moves as a unit. All Issues,
regardless OF their character or their
prospects, go up or down in unison. Tnls
sig nifies professional domination. The
market of today is nothing more, specu-
lativcly. than the plaything OF the big
professionals. Such considerations as
earnings, asset value. trade prospects or
indeed any basis factor play no part in
the day-to-day dealings.

When one considers how great an Item
wages is the vast importance Of this
fact can be appreciated. In addition to
this everything which the railroads have
to buy has gone up to record-breaking
prices. Hence. the gross earnings in
creases are more than absorbed and in
many cases result in net earnings de-
creases. There seems to be no cure for
this unhappy situation except an advance
in traffic rates. for which the railroads
are strenuously fighting before the in
terstate commerce commission. The COM
mission has now practically autocratic
authority in this matter and II is up to
ii to say whether or not the railroads
shall be permitted to advance their
charges.
Against such advances is very pow
erful public sentiment, shown In the or
ganization Of shippers in state after state.
The theory Of the shipper Is that our
railroads have SO much water in their
capitalization that present rates afford
them more than a fair opportunity to earn
reasonable return upon the actual In
vestment made. This. of course, brings
up the question raised by President Taft
of government investigation OF the actual
value of the railroads.
Beyond doubt there are many roads
whose capitalization Is far and away be-
yond the real assets behind such capital
ization. This Is evidenced by the quota
tons of many Of our railroad stocks at
way below par value. AS to those which
are quoted beyond par value, there is Diff
ference of opinion

Swapping on the Floor.

The boys" on the floor just simply swap
their trades in and out without any other
consideration than 10 secure a scalping
profit. In such times there is no tempta-
ton to the public 10 come into the game.
And as a matter Of fact the public re-
mains religiously aloof-it simply won't
come in.
This is distressing to the commission
house, but is an element of safety in the
general situation. When some sharp drive
occurs and quotations go tumbling there
are no large lines of margined stocks TO
be liQuidated. 1t Is just a case of specu-
lator eating up speculator-the fortunate
one remaining on the outside. And just
so long as this continues there can be lit
tie interest in the fluctuations of the cur
rent market. Taken as a whole, present
market movements are meaningless. There
will Of course, come a time when some
decided trend will assert itself The pres
ent range of values cannot much longer
be maintained. They must either rise or
fall. Which of these movements is immi-
nent is undiscoverable. 1t depends upon
developments not yet manifest. But in
the view of conservative thinkersand STU
dents, the consensus of opinion Is that
lower levels will be reached before there
sets in any animated upward swing. All
of this is, of course, purely academical
and of little Importance TO the investor.
The investor has opportunities a-plenty

shrewd men of the country are taking ad-
vantage of the situation. The Spectator

Wall Street Doesn't Know.

Wall street apparently is oblivious to
this fact, but it is a very serious matter

1t is a curious coincidence that Amalga-
