COTTON QUIET; BULL
SUPPORT PASSIVE
Selling Weak, with Undertone
Steady-Early Losses Recov-
cred in Late Trading.

Fridays excitement was followed by
a very quiet cotton market yesterday,
with fluctuations more or less irregu-
lar Relatively weak Liverpool cables
and favorable weather accounts failed
TO inspire any general or aggressive
selling, and while bull support was by
no means active. the undertone was
steady, with early losses practically
recovered in the late trading The
close was steady net unchanged to
points lower.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline of 6 TO 8 points, which was bet
ter than due on the Liverpool showing,
and sold about 9 to 10 points net
lower shortly after the call. This de
cline carried January contracts OIL to
12.15c and March 20 l2.34c, but there
was very little Southern selling here
or other features suggestive OF any
change in the spot situation. The
market soon rallied on covering for
over the weekend. with January sell
ing mp 10 122ic and March TO 12.45c
i'm the late trading. The close wa
within or points OF the best.
General business was quiet. Senti-
ment seemed 20 be more or less un-
settled. Many traders believed that 20
Justify permanently higher prices
there must be a decided improvement
iu export demand. while tho bulls evi-
IDENTIFY relied on the small crop esti-
mates and the firmness Of holders 10
offset the influence Of an accumulat-
ing. even II temporary. surplus. There
was some scattered Southern buying
here. but otherwise there was little
Indication that Fridays renewal Of
aggressive bull support had attracted
any outside following. The failure OF
prices fully to meet LiverpooPs de
cline and the small volume Of offcr-
incs was clear indication that the
bulls were meeting little speculative
opposition. Probably the average
trader felt more inclined 20 even up
commitments and await developments
than 20 increase commitments. Re
ports from Manchester indicated a
scarcity of labor and said that an agi-
tation was on foot TO exercise more
discrimination in onlnsting men for
the army. These reports also indi-
Gated a very moderate trade demand
In the Lancashire markets, and reports
from the domestic goods trade sug
gcsted that the recent break in futures
had caused some irregularity
Western distributors reported con
tinued active business for both win
ter and spring delivery Domestic
trade prospects were still considered
in favor Of the bull position. Mail
advices dated Liverpool, October lS.
quoted prominent firm as estimating
+ the East Indian crop for 1876 at
100000 bales. compared with their
B last estimate Of 5000 600 and their
estimate Of 5,9i0.0o0 last year. The

of New Building In
Cliff Street.

A recreation garden for the use oi
the employees Of Thurston & Brsidich
will be on tho roof Of the modern fire
proof building now being erected at
q Cliff Street. through to Ryder's
Alley, on lot 26x165. This is the most
noteworthy recent improvement east OF
William Street. and will be for the
sole use OF Thurston g. Braidich.
The building covers a plot OF 4,25O
square feet and the improvement in
d,cstes not only healthful demand
for modern buildings, but also the
growth of the business Of the lessees.
Thurston & Braidich are dealers in
crude drugs. arabic gum. vanilla beans,
etc, established in 1850 and were
originally located at 25-27 Cedar
Street In 1876 they moved TO l2S
William Street, their present location.
1t is understood that the same clients
who are constructing this building
erected so Cliff Street, six-story
hreproof building, for the j. f.. Linde
Paper Company some months ago.

tapestry brick, marble and terra-cotta.
II will also have complete automatic
sprinkler system, two elevators, inter

struction, which will be fireproof in

tive net rental basis sggregating about
5000 900.
In discussing this operation Charles
+. Noyes SAYS: 1T Is the first oil several
now planned for the immediate neigh
borhood. Owing TO the improved bust
ness conditions and property selling at
lower levels than heretofore, and also
on account of the opening OF the Will
lam Street subway within few years,
several important changes in the dis
trict east of William Street are al
ready assured.
"Our company is now negotiating two
large transactions nearby. one OF which
will be announced within the next few
weeks. The company has number OF
clients who are prepared to purchase
sites in this neighborhool and erect
similar buildings for sole occupancy.

Federal Board Reports Huge

TBS Telegraph 70 Tho Tribune. J

Washington. oct. oU.-An increase
during the week Of S9.000.000 in the
amount Of Federal Reserve notes out
standing is reported by the Federal Re
serve Board Additional issues were
made at ali reserve centres, except
Chicago and Dallas. The proportion
issued BY New York is about AZ per
cent. TIE three southern banks re-
duced SAB. 100000, or about % per cent
Of the total issues. The agents hold
si5l 100000 of gold and s16,600,000 of
commercial paper against an aggregate
of s16S, 100000 of notes outstanding.
The huge weekly gains in total gold
holdings b. the system we're continued
this week. The actual gold reserves in
the banks showed a decline of 81 400
600. but during the week the banks
transferred to reserve agents total
of $9.4OO,O0O OF gold The total gold
resources of the system. comprising
amounts under control of both the
banks and the reserve agents, stand
now at S433 100000 compared with
s425 $500 600 reported the week before
and S347. 100000 three months ago.
The gold settlement fund. which is
the big central fund maintained by the
Reserve Board for settling differences
between the banks. stands nov at s62.-
900 1000. as against $54 100000 for last
week. The size Of this fund is causing
more and more comment that the whole
system is drifting naturally toward the
central bank idea. with the Federal Re
serve Board as the board OF directors
of the central institution. The Re
serve Board, it is pointed out, has en-
tire control of the transactions be
tween the individual Reserve banks
and in addition exercises close con
troll over their actions. even TO fixing
the discount rates. so that practically
the system is rapidly approaching a
centra, bank system with twelve
branches. although the central institu-
ton itself makes no loans direct.
