There was heavy sell ing by commlslson bouses. The cotton In most cases went to operators taking proflts on short sales made at the end of last week. There was a decidedly better feeling In the market for future delivery Mon day, after a weak and lower Opening due to cables much below expectations.

The break In cotton In Liverpool this morning is due to the very unfavorable bank statement Saturday. . Cotton was of fered down sharply on the curb Saturday after the close. The financial situation holds the buying In check, and until this is adjusted we advise caution In trading. hell and Sohlll Ini * Shparson buying, short a little. Feature of the openlug In cotton was heavy selling of January, March and May by Heats. Following are 11 a. m. bids: December 10.61. January 10.22. March 10.23, May 10.25. Shorts covered heavily and there was good buying for spinners* acocqnts. Liver pool is very steady and King is said to be out with n small crop estimate. Looks like we might do better If the money situation shows no worse. But It Is nervous and llu ble to sharp changes. Cottou strong on bi and rlug generaly. No news 'except the Habersham King estimate. No cotton for sale. Market seems to lie congested with straddles, the long end of which Is In New York, and there are not sufficient fl demand by New Orienns, Nor. 4.—Hayward, Vick ft Clark: Market opened abont 12 points down and bad tlnnuclnf news from Europe causes concern. Feeiiug Is bearish and against the market. Financial reviews say the look In Germany Is rather gloomy, and while It Is thought in Berlin that the crisis In America is past. It will lie felt In Europe later. Habersham King, In his' latest circular says he figures the crop at 11,750,000 maxi mum. Map shows big cold ware has now pushed very near the territories. Should strike north Texas tomorrow, nnd muse general frosts in the western belt. Itnther serious news of n financial charac ter coming from Europe, which Is expiated to greutly curtail and delay buying power nnd cause further decline In cotton. Looks •ery cloudy for the time hriuj Tomorrow will be n holiday .. .deas. The only question now is, can reduced crop views operate against the financial situation? The advances were pronounced, nnd at noou tho market was up about from 25 to 30 points from the * with special strength 1 ~ 1 pool'fu control of th using every means to squeeze malnlng short account.

There are signs that banks are again In a position to give proper accommodations to mercantile concerns And this helps merchandising. Id the retail market prices are not being mark ed down to sacrifice levels, and this Is taken ns a sign that the department store buyer nnd smaller retailers havo confidence lu the winter trade. Converters and cut- ters-up nre placing few orders on gray goods or other lines of staple cottons. They are hoping for lower prices and feel Justified lu holding back on orders. 811k piece goods Importers nre-getting a liberal volume of orders on staple blacks nud staple colors for spring delivery. The price question on silks appears settled nnd buyers are taking what goods they need. Pay Full Price for Odds. On narrow odds the few* available spots nre commnhding full market prices. Con verters nre not as anxious to place orders on wide goods as they were at tho opening standards to move a fair volume, but that mills will not break prices on small orders. Begulars continue to sell nt 6%c. Messrs. Edward Movse ft Co., of New York, estimate the cottou crop of 1907-1906 at 12,300,000 bales. The estimate by atates follows: North Carolina South Carolina Georgia Florida and Virginia Alabama Mississippi Louisiana Arkansas Tennessee nnd Mlasourl Texas i •Oklahoma ..../ Total crop 12,300,000 It will be particularly noted thnt the out-turn from the Atlantic district Is ex cellent. equal to the best ever made; the Mississippi valley, Including Alabama, fulls nearly a million bales behind the maxi mum growth for that sectlou; while Texas shows th*. enormous falling off of 1,860.000 bales from last year's record crop of 4,19V 000. FINANCIAL 8ITUATION 8TILL IN AN UN8ETTLED STATE. Alfred Mestre ft Co., bankers and brokers, of New York, lu their weekly circular, Although some of the more acute points of weakness which have been witnessed lu the financial situation have undergone much Improvement during the past week, condi tions still remain unsettled. A stats of nf- fnlra has developed not altogether dissimilar from those prevailing lu 1893. There Is this marked difference, however: General coudl- this year’s crops were abundant, nnd tb's will mean continued heavy traffic for the railroads for the ensuing year. The great difficulty at the moment lie* In the money stringency, though It seems entirely proba ble that within the next two months this problem wtll be adjusted In a satisfactory manner. -All things considered, the Indications do not point toward n revival of any sustained upward movement In security prices, though It appears to us thnt those who are In n position to buy stocks outright and hold them. If necessary, for several months, will ‘lid It to their advantage to do so.

WEATHER CONDITIONS. The northwestern high area has moved steadily eastward aluce Saturday morning nnd Is now central In Tennessee, with It* crest extending frost Cincinnati to northern Alabama. Its advance has caused a general fall In temperature over the eastern half of tho map. The low nrea la now passing off tho roast of New England nfter having caused rain In tho eaatern portlou of the Great Lakes nnd the upper Ohio valley. A second area of high pressure has moved In over the Rocky Mountains to central this morning In Nevada. Accompanying this high nrea Is generally clear and cold weath er. Cloudiness prevails In the southwest, with rain falling at Tsyior and Ban Anto nio. Tex. The eaatwnrd drift of tUe arena of high pressure will cause generally fnlr weather In this section tonight nnd Tuesday, some what wurtuor tonight. mw, im-vwimi preferr Illinois Central .. .. ..

The situation financially, both here ami throughout the country, is one that does not encourage the purchase of stocks, even at the admittedly low prices uow prevailing, indeed there Is *6 much more liquidation still to come thnt, In onr opinion, much tower prices all around nre Inevitable.

TONE IMPROVED LATE Fair Advances Were Noted Throughout the List at Noon. jg/ New York. Nov. 4.—A further advance tft the Bank of Huglnnd rate Hebu recognized Thursday meeting, and tho announcement this morning that the rote had been raised at a spselal meeting to 6 por cent caused considerable consternation In the foreign markets. British console dropped a half point, tho other London departments were weak nud American stocki. although on n very small volume of business, fell from 1^ -% points from onr Saturday closing. the local stock market was naturally a good deal unsettled by these developments abroad nnd ofieued nt sharp declines. But It was appreciated generally that oar own situation, while still serious, was by no means as bad ns on the face of things It appeared to la* nt the close of last week.

This assumption seems reasonable- in view of the grant Influence which tb6 premium on currency must have in bringing back hoarded supplies. The eoiieltislotis all received emphasis this morning \*bou call money opened at only 20 per cent, nud this comparatively moderate |UotntIou Instantly created quite a favorable- mpresolou on the exchange.
