THE AUGUSTA. HERALD.
INDIVIDUALS ARE
FACTORS IN THE
GENERAL MARKET
FLEXIBLE CONDITION SHOWS
HEALTHY SITUATION AND
ADVANCES SEEM IN
EVITABLE-
(By Thomas C. Shotwell.)
NEW YORK.—Although a wave of
profit taking shaded quotations down
in the last hour of trading in Wall
street today there was a firm under
tone throughout the session and
abundant evidence that the bull cam
paigners are not yet done. There
was also evidence that the public is
becoming interestsd more deeply ev
ery day. The market is becoming
very flexible which is a healthy sign,
The btg people do not seem to be so
much afraid to lot reactions come as
they were a month ago. Money is
*o cheap that they do not hesitate to
put unlimited millions under the mar
ket on the reactions and most Import
ant of all the big people have not yet
shown any wild desire to take profits.
Thomas W. Lawson rocked the boat
a little on Friday but lie is not Im
portant enough to stop ihe hull cam
paigners as his operations are un
doubtedly confined to the manipula
tion of discretionary pool which by
controls under the names of Bay
State Gas. The Guggcnhelms deny
that they have taken in as manipula
tor of their shares but that does not
necessarily mean that ho is not In
charge of Smelters for there him
weird rumors of important changes
to be made in the directors of the
Smelting (rust at its next meeting.
Smelters have been rehabltated as a
trading and investment stock und all
the Issues identified with it are mak
ing good in the market. Even Yu
kon gold seems to be pointing up
ward as it is the least worthy of all
the companies identified with the
Smelter trust.
Reading was one of the first slocks
to touch a new high record today and
it did so because of the buying of one
house closely identified with the in
alders. Tht,s is the same house that
bought the stock heavily last week,
claiming to have advance informa
tion In regard to (he decision on the
comodity clause ot the Hepburn law
The big order executed today was
said to be for the account of a dl
rector of the company who trades In
that house.
The fact that Delaware and Hud
son and other coal shares were strong
and w.is used to give color to a re
port that some Important announce
ment was coming soon In regard to
them. Strength -of the Copper shares
was maintained up to Ihe close. It
has be«!n an unusual week for Itie
Copper trade. The Metal is honestly
in demand now at advancing prices,
much to the surprise even of the big
producers The only explanation for
this Is that the manufacturers in all
parts of the world whose factories
have been bare of raw material are
buying in anticipation of a trade re
viva! and a boom In the electrical
business.
BINK SITUATION
IS SATISFACTORY
Clearing House Report,
Shows Slight Increase in
Reserve and Trust Com
panies Also Have Good
Report.
NEW YORK. -The statement of
rlearlng house banks for the week
shows that tnn banks bold $59,224,275
more than the requirements of the
52 per cent reserve rule. This Is an
increase of $140,760 In the proport I n
ate cash reserve as compared with
last week.
The statement follows:

Ing to *911,307,600.
MUCH IMPROVEMENT FN
DRY GOODS SITUATION
NEW YORK The dry goods mar
ket for the day was quiet. Prices
were a shade firmer on wide print
cloths. Fine white goods are being
bought In sn ail volume for spring and
prices on the fancy fabrics are the
moat attractive ever known In the
primary market. Burlaps are stead*
and llnena are In a fair demand.
Men’s wear lines of the higher rla-.t
es arc being bought In fair quanti
ties. Many large cotton goods buy
er* »re expected here during the corn
Ing week to attend the auction sale
[of cotton goods on Wednesday.
MODERATE RISE
CHARACTERIZED
STOGKjyiARKET
SPECULATION WAS UNDER
SOME RESTRAINT, BUT
IMPROVEMENT WAS
NOTED ON CLOSE
NEW YORK. Operations for the
advance In prices of stocks were re
sumed today in a soberer spirit. Yes
terday's sharp setback had a chast
ening influence on excess of spoor
latlve enthusiasm and pointed to the
dangers of too rapid a pace. The
sensational gyrations of one or two
stocks in yesterday's market came
in for a good deal of criticism and
the likelihood of discrimination
against stocks as collateral in loans
being exercised by bankers was talk
ed of.
Speculation was under some re
straint and did not take on the ox
cited character of Ihe early hours
of yesterday. American Smelling and
National Lead started to advance
with some violence and this again
had a disturbing effect, on the gene
ral market. When these storks be
came quieter the general llsl began
to rise again. Improvement, in gen
eral trade conditions was reported
by the weekly reviews of Hie mer
eanttle agencies.
There was free realizing from time
to lime and allegations that a large
milling corporation was in the hands
of a roceiver had some unsettling ef
fect on the late tone. The closing,
however, was about, steady. The
New York hank statement showed the
effdf-t of tne livelier stock market in
Ihe growth of the loan account, and
the expected gain In rash was not
all of It forthcoming.
Ronds were firm. Total sales par
value $1,986,000.

NEW YORK COTTON
CLOSED WIT DOWN
However, Some of Day’s
Loss Was Regained, but
Good Weather Had In
fluence Preventing Re
cuperation.
NEW YORK -The cotton market
opened steady at an advance of one
point on September as a result, of
covering, but generally l to (I poliitH
lowqr, owing to Indifferent rubles,
good weather, bear pressure and
liquidation. During the early session,
the market broke to a net loss of 12a
14 points, representing a reaction
from tbc high level of yesterday of
about 22 points on October. At this
level the market steadied slightly hi
a revolt of covering, but seemed to
be very nervous and unsettled dur
ing the middle of the morning. The
market closed steady with prices net
17a 14 points lower.
