New York Oct. 25-The government Census Bu-
reported 77406A bales having passed through
the gin houses up to and including October Il last
THIS fully up to the average cf estimates. and
exceeded all previous records Of ginning returns for
the same period. The market, however. did not de-
cline to low records. though for time heavy
s.lliug operations earned prices lower. and nearly
the lowest levels Of the recent past reached.
The news Of the day. while favorable to weather
and harvest conditions. also indicated steadfnc Of
Southern spot markets and a better demand for ex-
port and home consumption. The market was sup
I0rIed mainly by short covering, but at the same
time there was manifestly improvement in senti-
rient as to the value OF cotton notwithstanding the
Promise Of an enormous yield. Large blocks Of
tracts bought by prominent spot houses during
the first hour and following the ginners' report.

New York More Hopeful.

A general note Of optimism is struck
by New York financial writer con-
tr!buttng to the Bache Review this week
The review is distributed here by A @.
Plant & Co. Under the caption OF Gen.
eral Trade the writer says:
The volume and activity OF trade
throughout the United States continues.
and were not centain factors considered,
per.-d OF great prosperity. The clear
ines for the week outside OF New York
(where the percentage has been cut
down by lack OF volume in the stock
exchanges) are fractionally increased
over last year. and even more so over
two years ago. 1t is remarkable that
Notwithstanding we are supposed to be
in a hard and unfavorable period. the
volume OF business indicated by the
bank Clearings should stand at rs per
cent over the banner year of 1903 There
is a steady Improvement in the week
in wool, in cotton manufactures, in dry
goods, and in leather. and its branches;
even in steel and iron the activity is
marked. But the noticeable feature
throughout is that there is no buying
ahead, and that replenishment for imme-
diate requirements only. is almost uni
versally the policy. Further than this.
the stimulating factor in many lines, es-
peCially iron and steel, is lower prices
and consequent diminished profit. So
that with all our activity. business IS
not cheerful, and the spirit OF discon-
tent is prevalent among business men.
The stock market having recorded on
September 25, It's low level, has now by
series of irregular recoveries reached
an average in active stocks Of about
41-2 points above the extreme decline.
A continuation Of this irregular reCov-
cry for a time longer appears probable.
furnishing A speculative market, during
which advantage may be taken of pur-
chases on the declines for moderate pro-
fits
For investment the better railroad
dividend-payers may he bought to put
away, irrespective of declines, with pros
poets Of eventual profitable results on
the purely long-Carry investment basis.
which, judiciOusly adhered to, always
wins out in the United States"

Slow Banks Warned.
National banks that are slow in re-
mitting items sent to them for selection
are warned indirectly through an order
issued to national bank examiners by
Comptroller of the Currency Lawrence o.
Murray yesterday. The order says, in
part:
Complaints are continually coming to
this office about banks to which collec-
ton items have been sent and the re-
mittances withheld or unreasonably de-
layed, Some OF the banks OF which
complaints have been made, are chronic
offenders in this regard. Hereafter at
the conclusion OF the examination OF a
bank you will please ascertain from the
officers II they have had any trouble
with any national bank in regard to the
prompt remittance OF collection items,
and II they have, give the name Of the
bank or banks in your report.
This office will not tolerate this con-
dttion longer. and a national bank
against which any complaint is made
will be promptly called upon for an ex-
PLANTATION. II necessary, a special ex-
aminer will be sent to make a thorough
investigation"
