Besides, there were decreased offerings of the actual cotton and fears of a bullish government report on the condition uext Tuesday. The Mississippi valley hae received n pretty thorough drenching, especially In the lower section. Damage was reporte4i in the Mem phis district by rains, and should the tern- >eratures fall to anything near to frost line Allowing such a storm there might be at east a temporary advance of some magni tude. Meantime the Houth Is offering cot ton less freely. It Is ststedi although the receipts both at the porta and the interior towns Increased. The speculation, too, re mains ns narrow ns ever, and Is as much Ignored by the public ss at any time for n Tear past. But Liverpool people and spot nterests were buying Otcober yesterday heavily, partly to cover aborts for English account, and a good many others were cov ering In December and January, fearing un favorable developments growing out of the ■torm If nothing else, though surmises about a possible November revision of the differ ences between the grades are said to have had some effect. November was also taught rather freely. Wire bouses were buying on n pretty liberal scale, and as a rule there on the short side.

Money wan easier, both time and call, but the market appeared to have absolutely no support of a kind to indicate confidence In the situation by larger Interests. The advance In the stock market, which began about Au gust 9, now appears to have had a cul mination, and It looks aa If a new set of Influences have taken hold on the public mind. The policy of Increased distribution of earnings was reflected In the Harriman dividends In a rather extreme way, and the efforts on the part of larger Interests to secure con trol of connecting lines In the further ance of plans made necessary by re cently enacted law’s, etc., appear as market Influences to have been ex hausted for the time being, and to have been followed by political questions and fears of very tight money. On this last subject It Is not at all sure that the recent decline In the market and liqui dation now going on Is not largely the result of the monetary situation, though money is now ruling much easier. We are not yet Inclined to suggest support to the security list except in special di rections, and prefer a waiting policy until lower levels have bene reached.— Marshall, Spader St Co.

Our market responded by opening 2®4 up. The fear of the tropical storm now * ad vancing on the cotton belt was the In fluence which sent shorts to cover, and also caused some renewed buying for n turn. The weather map for the past two day* has been the worst for the season. Hut the sentiment against the market hnt l>een so general for so long n time that the l»ears refuse to turn loose, ex cept with the avowed Intention of tak lug advantage of a little higher selling 6 asls. The advance and effect of the torm Is awaited eagerly. Should the damage appear Insignificant, the taste will, no doubt, attack the market vigorously, sod the present advance will not be sus tained.

STOCKS REVIEWED BY NEW YORK SUN New York, Bcpt. 27.—The Bun snya: As was the case Tuesday, Inflnences of a polltl cal nature yesterday were those having greatest weight In the stock market ft has «ll along been reckoned ns certain by tho financial community that nt the election In this state this fall tendencies of sn avowed socialism will make themselves prominent, but previous to present week It Is by no means taen thought probqblq that a cnndl date representing a political propaganda of the klud described would be able to aelte the nomination of one of the two leading political parties. This even had not Indeed up to the dose of the aecurlty market today taen n matter of actual occurrence, but that It would happen wan regarded aa a vlrtnal certainty, us was also the conclusion that It introduced for the time being at leaat n new factor of unsetlement Into Wall street nffalra. Tbe market was nervous and feverish. No doubt this was due more than nnythlng else to the quick selling-out and New York, Sept. 27.—Prices moved about feverlahly In the morning's mar ket, with no aettled trend In either di rection. The one fact that was evi dent In the very confused movement was that manipulation was present to an unusual degree on both sides of the market. A powerful party was at work endeavoring to drive stocks down; on the other hand, strong support was extended at all times. These two con flicting forces were about evenly bal anced during the early hours of busi ness.
