New York Bank Statement

New York. October 21.-The New Tors Financier will say:
 An unexpected decrease of $22, ,759, eco i'll deposits not altogether accounted for by the contraction of s14,610,OO0 in loans and the small shrinkage of s755000 in specie and legal tenders was a feature of the statement of the clearing house banks Of New York for the week ending today.
 The result of the changes noted was tn add s59il ,350 to the required reserve, bringing the present surplus to $19,302, $50
 The figures cited are based on the statement of actual conditions.
 The report of averages for the week in dicated much smaller changes, the sur- plus reserve based on the average con- rutation standing at s15,20S,950. The sud den contraction in the item of loans Is re tler difficult of explanation.
 The reductions did not come from trust company operations as the separate state ment of these institutions both in and out of the clearing house revealed only moderate changes in leading items as com pared with the previous week.
 A statement such as the one under dis cussion only emphasizes the present stag nant condition of the money market and explains why rates in New York remain steadfasty below the normal or so low, in fact, that financial institutions of this an1 other centers are loaning more ex- fensvely than ever to European centers. With sterling exchange at the gold export poInt, it seems almost certain that an out ward movement of specie is to come soltly and this despite the fact that our export trade balances from now on will Increase materially because of present and prospective cotton and commodity pur- chcses by Europe.

PRICES SHIFT ON
 MORRIS AVENUE No Material Gains or Losses Recorded, However, in
 Any Commodity

Morris avenue prices changed yesterday. Yet the changes were not material either way.
 It seems to be the concensus of opinion that meats have struck rock bottom, and hereafter the tendency of the market will be upward. Meat men say there can be no other way for it to go. They. say that il is about as low as 1t can possibly get now.
 Flour and foodstuffs have gone up. In several cases, certain commodities have advanced in price and others have tlrop- ped, leaving the market as a whole slightly above the average.
 The season for turkeys has not yet ar- rived and they are at a standstill price. For the past several days they have been quoted at IS and 20 cents per pound, but yesterday dealers were selling them at 20 cents flat. Live hens dropped q cent per pound in yesterdays quotations.
 There was no change in quotations yes- terday in the fruit market. One com modty was added to the list. The sea- son for cranberries has arrived and they are being quoted at S2.5O per box.
 Cotton is on the upward bound The advance in middlings yesterday was a quarter of a cent, throwing other grades up relatively.

Economy in Railroading
n the Atchison Globe

From the AtchiSon Globe.
 A fireman was Up for examination Tor promotion to the position of engineer. ile passed a fair test on the rules, and ma chinery, but during all of it the examiner was constantly lecturng him as to the need of economy in the use of the fuel and oil, so that by the time he finished his examination 1t was pretty well on his nerves.
 Having finished the technical part the examiner thought he would put the man in critical position to see what he might do in an emergency. So he put to him this question: "Supposing you are the engineer of freight train on single track, and you are in a head-on collision with a passenger train and you know that you could not stop your train, that a col- lision could not be averted, what would you do?"
 The man, unstrung by the vigorous in struction he had received as to economy replied in this way: why I would grab the oil can in one hand and lump of coal in the other and jump"

New York Cotton Futures
New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, October 21.-Reports of frost temperatures, snow and sleet in the extreme west of the cotton belt put the price of cotton futures Sl bale higher than yesterdays close on the opening this morning. The ring was excited and shorts made strenuous efforts to cover to avoid further punishment. On the call the trading months were F to 23 points up. Immediately after the most active deliveries were 23 to 2i points up.
 For several days the ring has been nervous over prospects of colder weather. This morning the weather map showed something approaching a blizzard over Oklahoma and north Texas, and private reports told of snow and freezing In sev eral counties of both states. While iin- portant cotton counties were not toucn- ed 1t was feared that the storm and cold would extend over the cotton region gen erally and this fear the official forecast confirmed in a great measure
 A considerable amount of long cotton had been accumulated on predictions of frost during the week and profits were taken on a portion of this on the inl- tial rise. which resulted in shaving 10 10 l4 points from the advance. On this re- action buying started anew and the mar ket again had an advancing tendency.

COTTON MARKET
 RATHER NERVOUS
The Reports of Cold, Wet Weather Gives Prices
 Another Boost

New York, October 21.-After a strong and excited market during most of the forenoon, with shorts active buyers on 2oid weather news the cotton market turned suddenly in the last half of the horr and closed barely steady at nei advance of from IA to 2l points
 Ihe market opened firm at an advance or from b to % points and was very ac- tive in response to a sharp advance at Liverpool and reports of cold, wet wealth CT in western parts Of the belt with lit tie prospect for any immediate relief Shorts seemed to be considerably alarmed over the fact that the forecast indicated possibility of freezing weather in parts of Texas and Oklahomaawi thin 36 hours but it was considered rather significant that the volume of investment buying proved to be comparatively small This was probably due to the fact that the rhailSct has had good rally from the recent low point and that most of the trade, still being impressed with the idea that the south has a big crop. was more ready to sell on such an. advance than to go long on the possibility of continued uiifavorable weather. Thus the offerings increased materially around 950c for De- celnber and near the close a sharp reae- tion of 10 to IS points from the top oc- cured. In conservative circles here the soHthern holding movement which has become more pronounced toward the close of the week was regarded as of more inn portance than the weather situation which may change for the better at any time. Encouraged by a better export de- mand. the frost news and the advance already of 50 points from lowest of the week. the south has shown disposition to withhold. offerings which has caused no little uneasiness among traders who have been advocating cent cotton. The south was buyer in this market today aud houses with foreign connections also bought. covering shorts.

Leonardo Da Vinci's Writings

From the London Chronicle.
 Although Leonardo da Vinci was a vol- luminous writer he never published sn- gle line during his lifetime. only within the last % years have his writings been made known to the world.
 After the masters death in France his manuscripts were brought back to Italy. His heirs proved unworthy and the oreo. ious writings were gradually dispersed. Loose pages were often detachedand were either given away as relics or stolen. No attempt was made to publish any of lsio treatise except that on painting for moro than 300 years after his death. This was partly owing to the great difficulty of deciphering his handwriting. Da Vinci was lefthanded and always wrote in Oriental fashion from right to left. Be- sides this his orthography is peculiar to hlmsef he abbreviates some words and joins others together and employs neither stops nor accents.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, october 21.-tSpecial)- The cold wave around Denver and Pueblo increased in intensity with in dicatons on the weather map of a further fall in temperature over Okla homa and northwestern Texas during tonight. This appearance of frost im- mediately brought large buying orders, which at one time carried prices up some 26 points over last nights close. but in the last few minutes 10 points of the advance was lost. Altogether the reaction carried the market some 50 points above the low prices of Mon day, last, and has naturally created belief that the spinners will now enter the market as large buyers. Whether they will do so or not the local trade feels that any continued bad weather will sustain the market around these prices. The continent is expected to be large buyer in Liverpool on Monday unless the cold wave does not bring frost.

STRENGTH ADDED
 ID WHEAT MARKET
Huge Reduction in Wheat Yield an Upward
 Movement

Chicago, October 21.-A huge reduction in the estimated wheat yield of the Canadian northwest helped to give the market for the cereal an upward tilt. The closing tone was strong, with prices run hing from the same as last night to l4c advance
 In corn there was q net decline of 14G lzc; oats finished unchanged to l4c up and provisions varying from 5c lower to 10c up.
 Short sellers were in a hurry to cover as the session came 10 an end There had been much new buying on weak spots. In addition many longs who sold out early were nervous and al every favorable op- portupity sought to renstate their lines.
 The news which received the biggest share Of attention was the 100000 bush el51decrease in Canadian crop figures as compared with what was expected a month ago. Prospects of additional loss il, that direction was emphasized by re- ports of bad weather northwest, especial ly throughout North Dakotas
 In a general way dispatches telling Of Q Turks aided the upturn in the market, but attracted less notice on the whole than might easily have been the case.
 Aside from the developments northwest the chief thing that guided spectators was the idea that even without further exports th0e would be an acute short age of wheat in the United States east of the Rocky mountains before another harvest.
 During the session December fiuctuated from Sl .01ss@1 .01A to $l .021a, closing 14c net up at S1 .o23smf .09is.
 Profit taking by longs brought about weakness in corn. The realization, how ever, was on a scale not often witnessed except at a crisis in the market One concern alone was credited with selling out more than 100000 bushels. A fore cast of improved weather seemed to be the immediate cause. December ranged from G5Ac to G5Ssc, with the close unset tied or 1ac down at 6G4c
 Cash grades were in fair demand from shippers. No. . yellow was quoted at 76l1a lions that receipts would materially in crease had not been fulfilled. Top and bottom levels touched by the December option were 4S2sc and is94S%c, with latest sdles at 4Si4c, a gain of 1sc over yester- day.
 Foreign buying was a factor in steady ins the market for hog products. At the end pork and ribs were unchanged to 11ac off, and lard sc lower to an advance of 10c

New Orleans Weekly Review


 New Orleans. October 21.-'rhe net re suits of the week in the cotton market were an advance of 3l to g points.
 The high prices were made on the week end session and the low prices on Wednesday. At the highest the trading mostly was il to I6 points over last week s aloso. and at the lowest they were to 10 points under. The range of the market was 51 to 54 points.
 Tho highest levels were reached on cold weather in the western belt and the fore cast of. cooler weather for the cotton belt generally.
 Predictions of frost throughout the week kept nervous shorts covering and were one of the main supporting influences at work.
 The low levels were caused by exceed ingly bearish cable messages from Liver pool regarding the effect of the war be- tween Turkey and Italy and the rebellion in China on Manchesters cloth trade. It was claimed that they were resulting ill the cancellation of orders. Bearsh com meht concerning the pending census re- port on ginning also helped the bear side
 From the middle of the week on, the ring was rather quiet. Traders wanted a better line on the ginning returns and also were in doubt in regard to the spot situation. Interior spot markets had Il better tone and buyers complained of ad- Vances that were not in keeping with the future markets. Bearish explanations Of this were that the mareit was being tenn porarily strengthened by the demand to fill october shipments, and that, once this Wac out of the way, the spot markets. would flatten out again.
 Locally. spot prices gained 3-16c, mid ding closing at 9-l6c, against 9ssc last week, and 14 15-16c this week last year Sales on the spot were 2139 bales, against 2S3S last week, and 4275 this week last year; sales to arrive, 1O,925 bales. against 19,559 last week, and 5S25 this week last veal,
