II NAV be objected that France is
borrowing because she is heavily in
debit and that therefore the money will
not readily find its way to the stock
markets, but as matter Of fact II is
surely bound TO find its way to the
Paris Bourse very quickly, for a large
mart of the expenditure was laid out
long ago. For instance, more than
SS0OOOOOO has been laid out in the last
three years on Morocco. Besides the
army increase figures in the loan, and
this is bound to benefit hundreds of
niddlemen and tradesmen.
The money outlook is slowly improv-
jng. Next Saturday is the last work
ias day of the month, and If there is
M change i'm the bank rate by then no
other change is expected. If the open
market supports the Bank of England
there is no reason indeed why any al
;eration should be necessary, for IL is
certain that the Continent Will not
compete for the gold now offering.
Money is much looser in Berlin, and
Austria Hungary is not in a position

ing for her big loan and won't do any
thing likely to disturb the London mar
ket, nor will Russia.

Steel Trust stockholders should bear in
mind:
That while the price Of New Haven and
Boston & Maine was declining from s25s and
$3.50 to SIS and $45, and investors were
losing over $3.50, 900, those who had
given public warning of the coming of the
disaster were being vilihed by the very ones
responsible for it;
That the agents-oficers, directors, trus-
tees, bankers or brokers-never tired in their
public and private "All's we'll assurances and
in their public and private urging of stock
holders not to sell their holdings and thereby
ioin the vili6ers of their property in its de-
struction;
That all this time investors were being
loaded up with stock from mysterious
sources;
That it was not until the price had been
cut by nearly four that the holders were
shown the nasty inside conditions-publiciy
shown by the man who knew them, the Presi-
dent of the New Haven;
That in President Mellen's exposures he
showed that, while he was supposed to be
running all Of the New Haven affairs, as a
matter of fact he was a mere shell or pea In
its financial juggling, and was helpless to
prevent the impositions on the public;
That such impositions originated and were
ordered into execution by the great imam
ciers who sponsored the unloading OF Steel
stock.

The DecIine,in Cotton.

Except for a sharp rally in the late
trading on Friday, the cotton market has
tended downward for the last week, and
on Saturday drop more than wiped out
the gain OF the previous day, with the
decline started on overnight selling or
ders. The effects OF the ginning report
and OF a tendency to increase the crop
estimates have been felt in the local
market aided by reports of labor troubles
and other causes affecting consumption
II Is noted that IL cents appears to be
about the limit at which prices are
"pegged," as spinners have shown ten
dency to come into the market when that
figure has been approached.
The ginning report left the market as
wide apart as ever regarding Its indica-
tons of final production, and there were
plenty of deductions on both sides. Trad
ers appear to be awaiting the next GIN
ming report. due on December 8. and the
final crop estimate by the government
due on December L.. The work OF the re-
vision committee of the local exchange
fell fat as far as the market was con-
cerned II Is assumed that the increased
discounts on low middling and other low
grades will tend to increase the Value OF
the New York contract, especially as the
premiums on the higher grades have been
increased. There is an evident tendency
here in favor of fixing the position Oh
this market in the trade by putting It's
contract in such shape that 1t Will en-
courage the spinning trade

The crowd that attended the sale
yesterday at the corner Of Choctaw and

brought TO mind the throng that usu-

numerous buyers were present, the
sale progressed at a lively clip, until

was a ready sale for anything that
was put up, from a third hand peram-

COWS been in such a demand at sale,
and seldom have they brought such

After working an hour and a half,
or such a matter in the rain, the auc-
