COTTON.

Evening up by Wall Street and out
side interests governed the action OF
Yesterdays cotton market, prices being
but little changed from their preceding
closing at any time in the day. Move
ments were extremely narrow. the gen.
eral range being no more than 30 points.
Selling pressure was heavy enough at
one time In the day to cause decline
of 90 to % points net, offerings being
mostly from spot houses and the South.
Factors were generally ignored. Com
paratively little discussion was heard on
the Government crop estimate to be
released at 2 p. NJ. tomorrow. Private
reports have varied from 12.OOO,OOO TO
10. 900 900 bales, exclusive of linters, and
any figure under the former will prob
ablv be bulllsh in the market, but any
thing around 12.75O,O0O bales or ABOVE
will be bearish.
Weekly statistics played little part In
determining the trend of prices. Sta
tistics of the local Cotton Exchange
showed exports to date as 2,o24,00O bales
against 2,224.00 In the same time year
ago. The American visible this year is
4.46S.000 bales against 4,431. 900 In 1913.
American mill takings to date show
sharp falling off, being nearly million
bales less than the total to the corre-
spending date last year. The last was
a bearish feature OF general statistics.
Selling for Wall Street and Southern
account caused the market to open TO
IS points net lower. Business was dull
and. with Increased short covering. the
market improved steadily in the first
hour, until most OF the list was about
on the level of Fridays closing.
Some talk OF an easier basis for Texas
cotton was heard on the floor and the
market developed heaviness again in the
second hour, partly in sympathy with
stocks The general tone was unchanged.
however and prices were quick to re-
cover. The markets display OF resist
ance not only yesterday. but in most
sessions Of late, has encouraged bulls to
certain extent and caused the bear
element to use greater caution In their
operations. Final prices here We're of
1 point TO IL points and local spot was
again unchanged at 1925 cents.

CERTIFICATES SOLD
Federal Bank Resells to Other
Reserve Banks-Bought
From Members.

The local Reserve Bank, following the
precedent established last September.
purchased from member banks and sold
to other reserve banks $4,000. 900 OF
Certificates of Indebtedness, which will
mature next Wednesday. according to a
statement issued yesterday. OF that
sum, 100000 was transacted In the
week ended on December 3, and
$40. 200. 900 In the week ended yesterday.
The operation last September was IN
considerably larger volume.
Three months ago the second Reserve
District held nearly 100000, 600 OF the
$3.50. 100000 in certificates which were
to mature on September is. To antici-
pate partially the heavy transfers OF
funds, then scheduled for September Is,
and to correct the disproportionate dis
tribution. the precedent of selling the
certificates to other districts was estab
lished. This time there is a maturity
of about S700.000 900 of certificates. but
the proportion held In this district was
not so large as the go per cent. shown
in September. In other words, an eff
fort has been made to bring the volume
OF certificates to be redeemed here as
closely as possible into line with the
amount Of Federal tax payments. which
are TO be received by the Reserve Bank
on next Wednesday.
With the proceeds OF the $50. 900, 600
sold in the last two weeks TO other
districts, banks in New York have been
enabled to reduce their loans from the
Reserve Bank, and the latter received
credit from other districts through the
gold settlement fund for the amount
sold. Consequently the operation has
affected favorably the reserve position
OF the local Reserve Bank.
For practical purposes. tracing tho
$50, 900, 900 sold to other districts during
the last week, the Reserve Bank state
ment showed that member-banks re-
duced their borrowings $4,000. 900 while
the Reserve Bank gained $4,000 900 In
gold through the settlement fund. In
other words, banking transactions. sep
arate from the sales of 5000 600. in
creased the repayment OF member-banls
borrowings and diminished the credit
made through the settlement fund
| Nevertheless the reserve ratios of the
Reserve Bank showed a noteworthy gain.
the ratio of total reserves to deposit.
and reserve note liabilities combined
rising from 37.S per cent. to 39.1 per
cent. and the ratio Of reserves TO net
deposits, after deducting 40 per cent. in
gold reserves against notes in circua-
ton. rising from 80 per cent. to $40
per cent.
In the New York Clearing House bank
statement, the effect of the sales 20
other districts of S30,0oo.000 in GER
tifcates was shown by net increase in
deposits of s32o0O,000 in the actual
statement in contrast to a decrease in
the average statement OF more than
s4s. 600, 600. Another factor In that in
crease was the Dreparation for paynent
OF taxes. scheduled for next Wednesday
