COTTON NERVOUS
AND UNSETTLED
Realizing and Selling for
Reaction Cause Move
mentS

New York, October 27.--The cotton mar
ket was less active today and seemed to
be rather nervous and unsettled as a re-
suit of realizing or selling for a reaction
after the excited advances of last week
Weather and crop. reports were generally
considered of a bullish average, but did
not seem to inspire much fresh or aggres-
sive buying for long account, and the talk
around the ring reflected a more reaction
airy sentiment. Closing prices, however,
We're very steady, and while prices We're
II to IA points net lower on October and
November, later deliveries showed losses
of only / to points for the day. Decem-
Der contracts made new high records for
the season at the opening, selling at 1412,
or $500 per bale above the low level of
October.
Steady cables and reports of very cold
weather in the western belt were consid-
cred responsible for the initial advance
OF from l to points, but while indications
pointed to another freeze east of the river,
also the market soon turned easier
Houses with Liverpool connections We're
again sellers here, presumably on straddle
account. while there was heavy scattering
liquidation from both local and southern
sources. The appearance of so much long
cotton coming on the market and the alb
sence of aggressive support, encouraged
local sellers for a reaction in spite of the
bullish private crop and weather news,
and the market gradually eased off to a
net loss of from to 13 points. Reports
that a prominent statistical bureau had
made a preliminary crop estimate of ap-
proximately 13350,000 bales, excluding lin
ters, steadied the market up during the
afternoon, when there was considerable
covering by early sellers, and active
months showed rallies of some to 9
points at the close.

bile to Great Lakes

Selma, October 2I--iSpeoial) )--During
the past week Prof. o. II. deLamorton
of France, England and the United

road which is TO run from Pascagoula
and Mobile past Thoma syille, Linden, De-
mopolis and Florence and then up
through Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana to
the Great Lakes.

LEADING STOCKS
GAIN POINT OR MORE:
Reduction in German Bank
Rate Tends to Strengthen
the Market

New York, October 27-In a quiet,
even way stocks rose generally today.
Ihere was at no time large volume
OF business and the significant feature
or the market was its steady strength h
without the driving power of an in
slstent demand to sustain prices on tho
"ptufn Many of the leading stocks
gained a point or more.
Reduction in the German bank rate
from 6. to 515 per cent contributed to
the strength of tho market. This
change allayed apprehension concern
ing money conditions abroad and put
an end to reports of another advance
In the Bank of England's rate. AL
though minimum discount rate of 5 y
per cent implies anything but easy
money, reduction at this time OF the
year is regarded as important. There
was no material change in rates for
time money here but call funds were
held more firmly, a late furry send
ins up the quotation to per cent.
The news from Mexico tended to re-
strict the volume of speculative trad
ing The reported failure of the cleo
lions yesterday caused traders to hold
pack pending the receipt of informa-
uotl as tothe attitude of the Washing
ton government.
Rock Island issues were strong and
rather active, both the preferred stock
ana the As making good gains. Buying
OF these securities was attributed to
reports that the Phelps dodge interests
had taken over a large block of the
stock New Haven securities were
heavy at first but later rallied strongly.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par
value, s2.s30000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

New Record Needed

AT a political meeting in the town

heckled by the opposition, who had
attended in strong force. But after
smartly turning the Interruptions to
his own advantage for some time,

hall stood up and souted: You speak
like a gramohpone."

gramophone. lspeak from that which
is within me-"

came back:

very badly"
