Bond market conditions were materially
improved during the last week, primarily
as a result Of the pronounced success Of
the $3.50, 10000 two-year per cent Brit
ish note Offering the entire amount hav-
ing been subscribed within short time
after the opening of the books on Wednes-
day.
The bankers, hovever, decided TO permit
the books to remain open until 10 o'clock
today, in order that the small subscribers
desiring to participate might be able to
do so.
While II is generally understood that there
will he other substantial foreign loans be-
fore the close of this year, the bond mar
ket as a whole showed fractional advances
over 10 days ago, although the volume of
business was not materially larger, but In
quiry slightly more urgent.
At this time of the year bond houses
usually record the smallest volume OF busi-
ness during the 10 months period, so that
the present dullness is no exception to the
rule established in the past.
There was an unusually heavy demand
for municipal bonds during the last week,

ious, was strength in Russian exchange.
A new high was reached this morning at 81

about 10 points from tn treme low OF
several months az. The strength OF Rus
sian is du to the credits established here
through sales of securities and on loans
The high prices reached for all classes OF

NEW YORK. Aug. 26-At the opening
this morning the cotton market was hot
so active as yesterday, although traue was
still much larger than in ordinary times:
with Liverpool closed, the forecast ior
Oklahoma unsettled and cooler, there was Il
disDosition to take profits on the opening
advance of to Q points, which caused
later reactions of about IA points, sending
prices under last nights close at the END OF
the first 10 minutes
The initial upturn was caused by q run
of overnight buying orders to commission
houses, which were soon satisfied.
The Journal of Commerce, in its cotton
report says the prospects in Alabama are
very poor. A month ago the condition was
6lS per cent and since then further
deterioration of more than five points has
taken place. making the condition the low
est in many years. The July rains were
the principal cause of damage, but boil
weevils have also inflicted much loss
The market during the later trading
showed much nervousness and price changes
were irregular, selling off to net decline
of 1G12 points rallying n dozen points
on trade demand. Heavier margin calls
were reflected in a considerable increase in
Wall street and commission house liquida-
tion and Liverpool was reported seller.
CroD news on the average made an un-
favorable showing. Private cables from
Liverpool expressed apprehension that
rush of American business to the English
market after September /, when the new
cotton futures law becomes operative. might
have an undesirable effect on the Liverpool
market and possibly result in British Gov
ernment regulation, as in the case OF Vart-
Gus other commodities.
