A feature here after the call was selling ot October and buying of December at 32 points difference. For the short session today there was •lightly more activity In the cotton market, but the Increase In business was at the expense of values. Liverpool was due unchanged, where, as the close was 4 points lower for fu tures and 2 points down at 5.55 on sales of 4,000 bales. The opening In New York to meet the decline Ir. Liverpool was due to open about 3 points lower, but Instead 4 to 6 points as the extent of the de cline.

ANDERSON A CO.’S DAILY COTTON LETTER New York, Sept. 22.—The cotton market was dull and quite uninterest ing today, the operations being almost exclusively professional and since there were quite a number of matched nrd.rs, the fluctuations were narrow. The tendency was easy, but In the ab sence of pressure, long were not wor ried and most of them were content to keep the accounts open over the'Sun day Interval. The weather conditions »r a whole weirs seasonable, and the crop data coming to hand failed to bring about any changes In the esti mates of the statisticians.. The receipts continued moderate, but since pickings M» accumulating rather rapidly on the Plantations, It Is likely that there will be, an early Increase In ginning snd a consequent Increase In the movement toward the ports. There is a fair ex port demand and the European con sumers are expected to shortly develop Into good buyers of spot stuff. It Is apparent, however, thfct the specula tive market will contlne of a trad er'. character for some days to come, and ecalplng proflts should be taken as •bey appear.

The weekly bank statement, even with the allowance for the un recorded caah gain of laat Saturday, waa bettar a good deal than had been expected. Caah holdings Increased over 312,000,004, and with loans expanding 37,300.000 this still sufflcsd to leAra a surplus reserve gain of 37.300,000. The surplus Item Is thus raised to the comfortable total of 111,000,000 and stands now almost 14,000,000 above what It wa* at the corresponding pe riod last year. Nevertheless, the mar ket's response to this favorable show ing was a feeble roily Just after the appearance of the figures, followed by a renewal of waakneaa all through the list, Anal prices being about the lowesi of the day. The bank stattmant makes It harder than ever, of course, to understand the week’s hardening of time money rates.
