New York, Nov. 4.-Dullness pre-
vailed in the cotton market through
out the entire forenoon and the close
was steady at a net loss Of two to six
points. The market opened steady
with prices three to six points lower
in esponse to a little selling by room
traders in the way Of evening up ac-
counts before the holiday and in an
~ticipation Of the census report next
Wednesday morning.
SO little important news came in
today there was Nc incentive to
broader operations on either side of
the market.
The further agitation in the South
in favor Of holding cotton was used
as a basis here for a little bull sup
port of the market under the nine
cent level, although in most quarters
it was considered that the remedy for
low prices lay in reduced acreage
rather than in trying to create an
artificial advance after a bumper
crop had been produced. The China
situation was still an uncertain fac
tor in the situation and in view Of its
Importance to Manchester some were
of the opinion that the next import
ant move in prices would come from
the Liverpool market and be down
ward unless the China situation i'm
proved materially. In dry goods cir
cles there was little better demand
for goods today Influenced by the
fact that cotton has now held around
the 9-cent level for some: time, indi-
eating more resistance to declining
tendencies than has been the case
heretofore. =

(By the Associated Press.)

New York. Nov. 4.-The
in stocks was carried further today.
The Upward movement was uneven,
and less spontaneous than on earlier
days Of the week, but advances were
general. The overshadOwing feature
of the market from a speculative
standpoint, was the movement of
points to 148 IA a rise Of more than
ten points from the low figure Of the
week. The rise today was generally
regarded as largely the result Of
manipulation.
The Erie issues and Canadian Pa
cihc were again in demand at higher
prices. In the general list Of indus
trial National Biscuit and American
Chemical were especially strong.
Further reports were received of
betterment OF business conditions.
Another large increase in the surplus
Of idle freight cars was shown in the
fornightly statement. The demand
for railroad equipment continued to
improve, several orders for rails n
cars being reported.
The September statement Of the
Illinois Central added another to the
Western roads with q heavy shrink
age in net earnings.

much larger loss of cash than a

The decrease IS shown on the &C.
tual statement was more than S.

more than $8,O00,00O. These
changes were attributed largely to
shifting of accounts incidental to syn
dictate operations n the large No
vember interest and dividend dis
bursements. Loans increased more
than s1O,OOO,0 900, owing in part to
the increased activity on n stock
