possible that the final adjustment of tariff

buyers of cotton goods are showing In

situation with reference to raw material.

NEW YORK, October 4.-Anxiety over
the future caused the hesitation and in
termittent weakness OF the stock market
during the week. This feeling had to do
with the prospects for commerce and
finance. abroad as well as at home. The
outlook at home. In fact is. now more
than usually dependent upon money mar
ket conditions elsewhere.
The action of the International ex-
changes In response to the advance in the
Bank of England discount rate gave no.
tice that no relief was to be looked for
in New York. In the immediate future at
least. by resort to London gold supplies.
The effect Is especia ly marked on plans
for enlisting new capital. Banking au-
thorities express satisfaction over the
conduct of the banks in the last few
months in having strictly limited the ex-
tension Of credits. course which leaves
them in much better position to meet the
coming requirements than seemed pos
sible six months ago.

Substantial Trade Balance.

In relation with foreign markets the
United States is fortified by the favor
abba trade balance growing out of heavy
exports of grain and manufactures. Also
the hold ngs of American securities in
the hands of foreigners have been re-
ducod by a lengthy process of hquida-
ton. This gives assurance against the
force Of a possible shock from financial
troubles abroad. The failure Of money
cond tions to relax In London. Berlin
and Paris after the October settlements
was a disappo .ntment and the occasion
of uneasiness. A trade reaction. such
as seems to have set in in Germany, car
ried with Ii the danger of uncovering
weak spots.
This reaction threatened also dump
ing of products into foreign markets.
This Is taken into account In estimating
the effects Of the new tariff law. 1t was
