New Orleans, Oet. 8.—Liverpool cables were more unfavorable than of fate and op tions finally closed 22 to 23 points lower than Saturday's levels. There was also u decided weakness in the spot situation, sales amounting to 7,000 bales at 16 points lower. There were few If any develop ments In the market during the day. A decided tendency on the part of all con corned to let the market severely nloue wa* manifested, although the weather was per fect, temperatures being rather low. Reports from the country also were to the effect that the first damage reported was greatly exaggerated, and that now that-dry clear weather exists, a great improvement in the affected area lias resulted, and that cotton now looks excellent after only one day's sunshine. It seems perfectly nat ural to assume that when the long delayed movement finally gets under wav, and should the spot situation, which even now shows signs of weakening, becomes easier considerable difficulty will be experienced In maintaining current vnlues.

Specula tion could hardly be said to bo inactive, inasimich ns the dally volume of stock ex change transactions averaged above a mil lion shares, and on Friday the official an uouncemnt of the consummation ol the ore deni transaction that had so Jong hung'fire between the Great Northern rail way aud various private owners on the hand and the United Htntes Steel Corp_... tlou on the other, gave n fillip to the market which sent quotations up very briskly. A feeling seemed to prevail that the fall elections, and- perhaps, by rea son of other causes, there would be no great operations undertaken by the lend ers In the financial world /or some weeks to couio, and that In the meantime, there fore. the security market might lie ex pected to bo dull, or. nt least, less ani mated than It has been during the month »»f September. One thing that was very ev ident throughout the week Was that the money situation was easier, nud this was really the most Important development of the Inst six business days.; Call money sagged steadily from n ruling rate of 7 r cent on - Monday to a ruling rate or per cent on Friday, and that It dim Jnyed this ease wiis not a llttlo surpris ing to bankers who had believed that, ow ing to the time thnt wna necessary to elapse before tbe money distributed on the first of October, fairly stiff call money rates would be prolonged quite a little.’*— Gibert & Clay. .. ..tn .. ..120 .. ..112 393.

STOCKS CLOSED GENERALLY BETTER New York, Oct. 8.—Operations for the rise were resumed with some ener gy In todays market, but again they favored a few individual stocks rather than the general list. For the .most part the share list held merely Arm on a very small volume of dealings, but the activity In the Issues selected as the day's leaders left no doubt that the weight of Wall street sentiment was on the side of higher prlqes. This opinion was based upon the earning money situation, of which prdof was afforded In the free supply of call money around 4 per cent. American Smeiters was the feature of the early market, with a rise of over 4 points, and the gossip was renewed, which has accompanied every advance In this stock for the past year, that plans are under way for the distribution of some form of extra div idend to shareholders.
