COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. October 29.-The cot
ton market opened steady at de-
cline of 10 to % points under over
night selling orders brought in by the
easier ruling-off prices yesterday. Pri-
vate cables reporting less favorable
turn in the Irish situation may have
contributed to the decline, but the
main factor seemed to be December
liquidation. After selling off to 1885
that position rallied to 1895. and later

the renewed near-month. with De-
cember later easing off to 1880, or

Aside from the liquidation of De-

CURB TRADING.

NEW YORK. October 2s.-Trading
on the curb exchange today was
quite active, but the trend of the
market was irregular. Profit-taking
price movements toward slightly
lower levels in some issues. The low
priced oil shares continued active fea-
lures.
Lyons Petroleum met some selling
and developed a heavy tone, while
Tuckeny was firmer on renewed buy
ing by some of the stock exchange
houses. " Oil and Gas was active
and held around yesterdays prices
and Keystone Ranger displayed a
less active than previously during the
week, and confined most of their
operations to the higher-priced oils.
Maracaibo continued the feature OF
this group. reaching new high rec
ord. and Standard Oil of Indiana. In
were steady. Simms Petroleum. Ar.
kansas Natural Gas and a number of
others were slightly easier.
The coal stocks displayed firm
tone. Glen Alden and others were
quoted at about last nights level
The recent buying of Acme Coal was
believed to have been based on favor
able developments and an expansion
in the company's Kentucky holdings.
Goldwyn Pictures continued firm. but
number of others, including swift
International and British American
Tobacco, were slightly lower. West
End Chemical held steady.
Mining issues were again quite ac-
tive. but changes in prices were con-
fined within narrow limits. South
American Gold was slightly higher
while Boston and Montana was active
within a comparatively narrow range.
St. Anthony's Gold was firm.
Bonds were steady, although deal
ings were smaller than heretofore.

STRIKE settlement
PARAMOUNT INFLUENCE

NEW YORK. October 29.-Settle-
ment of the threatened railroad strike
was the paramount influence of the
week in the stock market, although
the feeling in informed financial cir
cles had been that conditions would
not reach the critical stage.
Rails suffered only moderate de-
preston at their worst and these
losses were more than regained in
yesterdays general rally. Equip
ments. steels. coppers, motors and
many special issues which had been
sentimentally affected by the labor
situation scored equal or larger re-
coveries.
The most consistent movement was
in domestic oils, that group at all
times ignoring reactionary tendencies
elsewhere. California issues were es-
pecially strong and almost all the Ju-
nior oils were higher by to points.
Quarterly statements of the United
States and Bethlehem Steel corpora
tions confirmed reports of pronounced
betterment in that industry and the
trend of general business conditions
showed broadening inquiry of the
marcha sing demand.
Money rates displayed no material
easement and the greater portion OF
the weeks call loans were made on
a 5k per cent basis. This quotation
also applied to time funds. although
many thirty and sixty day loans were
made at as low as . per cent on prime
collateral.

Senator Borah Warns RepubG- can Leaders-To Retain Membership in Congress.

Washington, Aug. 5-Final action by the senate finance committee on the Fordney Tariff bill appeared tonight to be farther away than al any time since the measure was turned over to it two weeks ago. There were no signs that the committee would be able for some days to enter into executive consideration of the two controversial phases of the bill-American valuation and the dye embargo-and no hearings have been held or study given yet to rates and other provisions.
 Indications that Senators will demand figures on production costs and profits and a multitude of other details of the dye and chemical business developed to- day Senator La Toilette. Republican. l Wisconsin, announced that he had pre- pared a list of questions covering such subjects and proposed to propound them to all witnesses. In his efforts, he has I the support of half a dozen other mem bers, among them Senator Watson, Re | publican, Indiana.
