COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, October 29-The cotton
market recovered the greater part of
yesterdays losses at the opening to-
day on a renewal of aggressive ball
support and covering. Liverpool was
better than due and the brokers who
were buyers in the market here yes
terday had big buying orders again
this morning. First prices were 81 to
80 points higher, with January con-
tracts selling up to 1918 and March
to 1910, or 33 to "a points above the
low level of yesterday. The market
met a good deal of cotton at this level,
which came partly through spot house
brokers, however. and fluctuations aft
er the call were more or less irregular.
Futures opened firm; December, II SO;
January, 1913; March. 12.40; May, 1850;
July, 1851.
Private crop estimates, one of them
placing the lint yield at 10.s5S 900 bales
and the other making the crop 1885,
600 bales, probably contributed to the
renewal of bullsh activity. Sentiment
was also favorably Influenced by the
stronger ruling of sterling exchange,
and after early reactions of 9 or 10
points the market developed renewed
strength, with December selling up to
1911, January to 1927 and March to
1248 around midday or 32 to &c points
net higher.

COTTON LOSSES RETRIEVED.
Market Receivers on Aggressive Bull
Support and Active Covering.

NEW YORK, October 29.-The cotton
market recovered nearly all of yester-
days losses during the early trading
here today on a renewal of aggressive
bull support and active covering .The
publication of private crop estimates in
round 100000 bales probably encour-
aged the advance. but the renewal of
bullish activity was attributed more
largely to a belief that the recent de-
cline of about 1878 per bale had placed
the market in a position where it was
again likely to be influenced by old
bull features. and former prominent
bull brokers were heavy buyers.
January contracts sold up to 1928 be-
fore the end OF the morning, or about
80 points net higher. and no less than
$1.90 per bale above yesterdays low
level.

In oats the main feature was buying

Provisions rose on support from pack

NEW YORK, October 29.-With a dis
position on the part of the trading ele-
ment to hold aloof from the war spe-
cialties. after months of wild specula-
ton in them, Wall street interests. un-
willing to have the bull market taken
from them, made a decided diversion
today in favor of the railroads, taking
up almost the entire list of rails to
higher figures.
The plan seemed to work. for in the
early morning hours the rails were
very active, and many speculative COM
missions were executed for traders
who had liquidated their war favorites
under the smashing declines of the last
few days.
Not that there was any especial rea-
son for booming rails any more than
there was earlier in the week, although
the late reports of earnings on many
systems are beginning to show satis-
factory increases, and the enforced
economies are bringing both ends to-
gether in manner satisfactory to
shareholders.

Washington Not Affected.

Washington bankers do not feel that
the "usurfous circular" issued by the
controller of the currency, is aimed,
in any way, at them.
The legal rate of per cent has been
strictly adhered to here. even in times
of money scarcity, but at this time the
bankers are seeking the borrowers, en-
titled to consideration, and welcoming
them with all needed funds at per
cent and from that to per cent.
Inquiry for loans is far beloW normal.
Idle money is accommodating in the
banks and its employment is one of
the problems that is worrying bank
officials.
Commercial paper is scarce article
in Washington; acceptances, seen in
fair volume less than year ago, are
being largely held by the acceptors and
not offered on the general market.
Every day large sales of bonds over
the counter are made with the bank
ing institutions on the buying side. and
a moderate percentage of New York
bond sales is delivered to bankers.
The close of the year 1915 will show
that millions of dollars worth of
bonds, hgh-grade rails, municipal is
sues and not a few Washington bonds
have been employed to produce income
the resources of banks of the Dis
trict.
AS a rule high-grade Washington 5
per cent bonds are held at a price too
high to be attractive to bankers, but
around so to S0a4 railway As are con-
sidered attractive. and other issues are
