LITTLE ACTIVITY
IN COTTON MARKET
Traders Inclined to Await Gin
ners' and Official Condition Re-
ports, Due Tomorrow


With the exception of October, which
opened 13 points lower, the cotton market
was II points higher this morning, but
less active than usual Trade seemed to
be mainly of an evening up of values in
preparation for tomorrow's report, the gin
ming at 10 o'clock and the last official con-
dition report of the season at IL o'clock.
There was little outside trading visible
or any news of Importance. The tropical
storm worked out to sea over Sunday and
was followed by clear and cool weather over
the belt.
The inclination was to look for active
ginning, and, for that reason, the market
after the open, sagged off, and at the end
of first fifteen minutes was off to within
2 points of Saturdays close
Norman Mayer & Co. issued a condition
report of 63, a decline of AS points under
last week.
Cotton receipts at the ports for the day
are estimated at 10000 bales, compared
with 2S994 bales a week ago and 5O,SO2
bales year ago.
The Journal of Commerce places the con-
dition of cotton at 64.5, against 69.5 &
month ago and 596 year ago.

MONEY-LENDING RATES

NEW YORK-Call money opened today
at per cent for lending and renewing,
Leading bankers said this morning that
the tlme-money market conditions had not
changed a particle. Money was very scarce
and per cent was freely bid for all ma
turtles on both good mixed as well as in
dustrial loans.
Call funds failed to show the discrepancy
with time funds that is usual when it is
sought to have the market liquid.
The high rates for money on collateral
loans continues to restrict business in prime
bank acceptances. Rates on ineligible bills
is higher at 5a4 per cent; eligible bills are
quoted at 3% @3h.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK. Oct 1.-The foreign ex-
change market was dull and not partic-
ularly interesting in the early dealings, with
the exception of weakness in rubes and a
slight Improvement in Italian exchange.
The weakness in rubles was due to the gem
eral understanding of the enormous diff
cuties in the political situation in Russia.
Quotations were:
