NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: There was general duliness in the markets here to-day, occasioned mainly by the reaction in the American department, in avhich activity has mainly centered during the last few days. London was ed in taking profits pre- liminary to the settlement to-morrow. Berlla also sold with some freedom and the good support from New York held the market to a Gegres of firmness. The Bank of England lost £260,000 gold to Egypt and £30,000 to Holland. France took a parcel of gold in the open mar- ket. India is still buying sflver. CLOSING.

January sold at $6 90 against $10 15 two weeks ago, with ’ the rest of the market off in proportion. Some of the buying was on the strength of in- ‘ quiries for time money from the south, said to be for the purpose af finanoing cotton in the | Atlantic States, where hnld('rs show a prefer- ence to keep the rest of their crop for higher ices.
