SUPPLY OF CASH SHOWS INCREASE Further Relaxation in Rates For Money N0ted-Confi-
 dence Increasing

New York. October 22.-Further re- taxation in money rates today with Suinerous over-year loans negotiated at per cent testified to the increas- ing supply of cash here. Some so-day loans were reported at shade under per cent, while call money also man ifested an easier trend All these con tracts were secured by high class col- lateral
 Savings banks and other institutions, [ including the prominent insurance cap- itals. are said to be lending more free ly. which Wall street accepts as ad- ditional proof of increasing confidence. In stock exchange circles, however \ Aeptimert remains pessimistic. The sale of an exchange membership at ss4,oeo. the lowest price in many years, meas ures tho depth of the depression in that quarter
 Tho foreign exchange market was perfunetory affair, with rates on Lon don virtually changed from yesterdays average legal. The days dullness was ascribed to the fact that all immediate requirements had been met by the sev- eral steamers leaving this port yester- day.
 In the investment field brokers tfound more activity in various short ierm note issues and high grade bonds. the new city needs being in fair de- mand at previous hig hpriees. Deal ings in some of the active stocks list ed on the exchange were made at fur ther concessions. These transactions in- dicated extreme necessity on the part of the sellers. The unofficial market E in which these sales were made still is looked at askance.
 Roadway was made in the organiza- ton of the cotton pool, but local bank ing interests will not commit them selves to the plan unless the federal reserve board is placed in charge. NScuthern banks, which already have large debits here, were negotiating for renewals of loans today and in the main these were granted. This factor, however, Is likely to pay an important part in the outcome of the cotton plan. Exports of cotton feli off pronouncediy today but this was mainly due to lack of vessels.
 sN, With further heavy exports or gold to Canada today the syndicate Which floated the city loan now has estab- 1ished large credits for the Bank or England at ottawa. Definite figures gre lacking but estimates of the amount transferred across the border for that account run as high as $2b,000'ooo.

New York, October 22.--The rregularity of the Brazilian exchange rate. which reacted sd yesterday, and the confusion over cable messages as result of sthe NBra zilian censorship. has created a very unsettled feeling in the coffee market here, and practically no firm offers were received from Brazil. The local spot mar ket showed steady tone, with Rio 7s holding at CSC and Santos As at 1o1sc, but very little business was reported, and sup plies here or afloat from Brazil seem suf-. ficicnt to prevent apprehension of scarcity Aas a result of tie smaller primary offer ings.
