LITTLE CHANGE IN
 FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
increase in Demand for Money for
 Mercantile Purposes Reported.

New York, Oct. 2s-The financial stock exchanges showed little change from recent conditions, aside from a slight hardening of rates on London and German official centers. Again there were large offerings of bills in consequence of further extensive pur- chases. of supplies for export. In the orinion of competent brokers ex- change on London, so far as 1t affects practical purposes, is now almost nor mai.
 Advices from New England and western points indicate another hitch in the ~consummation of the cotton pool. Banks in those sections hesitate to give their approval to the plan. 1t is said. unless financial institutions in the cotton growing states show their ability to contribute their share, $s,o0O 900, without increasing their loans at this and other reserve cen ters.
 For the first time in several weeks, the banks showed fairly large loss of cash to the sub-treasury on the known money movement. It was not believed. however, that last weeks sat- isfactory bank statement, with its re- stored surplus, would be seriously dis turbed
