STOCK MET Buying; of tlie Best Kind Developed in All tlie Standard Issues. (By Thos. C. Shotwell.) NEW YORK—WaII street recovered Saturday from the raid of Friday very quickly when the threatened report of Attorney General Wicker sham proved to be merely a declaration of his intention to do his duty. The bears had circulat ed wild statements of what Wickersham intended to do and the street was pre pared for evidence that Pres. Taft had lost his head. Buying of the best kind developed in all the standard Issues. American Ice was the only weak security and its break of nearly four points was due to a verdict against the company in the crim inal courts. Reading moved higher and Union Pacific, Steel, the copper stocks, iawlc-y issues and a few specialties join ed in the advance.

NEW YORK. —Cables were very strong and reported active demand both tor spots and futures in the Liv erpool market, prices here were rath er uncertain and the market for a time hesitated which way to move. Sentimement was in favor of some re action and liquidation by,hfclses with western connections was’ very heavy so that in spite of fair demand prices slowly gave way, conditions are un doubtedly the most bullish for years, but it is no L to he expected that prices wil move steadily upward with the government estimate, a thing of the past. There are no more sensational events to come, and it remains for tiie situation to develop gradually. We expect it to develop very bullishly and that there will be keen competition for the balance of the < rop at mater ially higher prices.—-Argo, Jester & Co. DAVISON & FARGO’S COTTON LETTER. The cotton market was rather dis appointing today in that New York turned almost weak under heavy real izing by the bulls, who continued to sell their holidays freely. Liverpool was due about unchanged, but ad vanced 11 to 19 points on all the ac tive options, equal to 28 to 3S points of our money, but New York failed to respond as the heavy offerings there kept prices down, and the close was 1 to 8 under yesterday. This per haps is only natural under the circurn. stances, and had no effect on the mar ket for actual cotton. We had good demand here, and as futures were about 10 up at the opening, buyers freely paid 15 1-8 basis for middling. After it was seen that New York had lost all the opening advance buyers were disposed to offer lower. The position looks strong and while futures may be manifested it seems to us that the market for the actual cotton must govern the price. Receipts confirm the small crop estimate. Only 302,* 000 hales came into sight (luring the week compared willi 529,000 same week last year and 458,000 in 1907. Receipts at interior points 1 81,000, against 816,000 last, year, and 215.000 in 1907. —Davison & Fargo. NIVAL STORES CHARLESTON NAVAL STORES. CHARLESTON, S. C. —Turpentine firm 55 1-4. Rosin linn.
