The relaxation in the rket was the nominal cause of the vemeat, although the rates for call money during the day indicated a degree of stringency hat had a decided restraint on any large re- newal of speculative operations. The rate touched was 18 per cent, high rate of 20 per cent yesterday, not count- ing the fi to 25 per_cent just before the e, which was regardéd as having no sig- ficance. But the -high rate of to-day 1 only momentarily, and a very small amount of money was placed at that rate of interest Lat the day, after tne principal demand had been satisfied, the rate fell below 10 per {cent. This occurred much earller in the day | than was the case yesterday, the money market therefore was con- ameliorated as compared with y | liguidation effected yesterday, of | factor in strengthening the Large loans placed by foreign lso played a part.

Besides {11 this there was a growth of feeling that the situation did not call for an extensive building Up of reserves by the banks at this time. It | was considered that the deficit in the legal re- | serve requirement establisned on Saturday left the percentage of total reserves to deposit lia- at 24.76 per cent, while the percentage of total reserves ever since the first of Septem. | ber, with the exception of the week ending Oc- tober 21 and that ended October S, had been be- The actual change in the condition of the banks, therefore, was not great aside from the | sentimental effect of the exigtence of an actual | deficit in Jegal reserves.

Nothing has beert as the cause for any of the loan ntraction whic simply the limitation of resources to meet the extraordinary demands for credits. However, bank reserves continued, the operations with the sub-treasury since the lest bank statement having withdrawals al- ready of $1,421.000 from the banks. With the easing of the money rate quring the course of to-day there was also a rally in foreign ex- change rates, and the prospect for an import movement of gold was thus dissipated for the present.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14—In spite of better cables than expected, the cotton market broke gharply ~about 20 points mn the first hour. Liquidation was enormous und resulted in the turning over of quite large lines in this mar- ket. The spot market hax nheld fairly well, with declines averaging about ljc. Interior holders are reported firm, but this is always the consequence of first creaks. If the mar- ket shows anything like stcadiness, traders ex- pect further free offeringe. New Orleans wired: “Liquidation, principally m American mar- kets, caused a shrinkage of values of about $1 perbale. ““The market looks pretty well sold out and holders are refusing to meet the decline. Prob- abilities are that prices will react.”” Cotton futures opened firm.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE. Future Grain and Provisions. CHICAGO, Nov. 14.—Initlal quotations in the wheat market showed fair gains, the May option being up %@%ec at SS,@SS%c. The market at the opening was Influenced mainly by the unexpected strength at Liverpool, the weakness of yesterday at Chicago having ap- parently little effect on the English market. According to a foreign statistician the aa- vance at Liverpool was the Tesult of reports from Argentina to the effect that much dam- age had been wrought to the Wheat crop in the northern districts by rains followed by froat. There was seemingly less uneasiness here over the money situation in New York This lack of anxiety was generally attributed to the fact that the majority of the weak holders had disposed of their lines in the sen. eral liquidation of the past few days. the session advanced Teports of Improved buy: ing ‘on_ forelgn demand gave impetus fo. the upward terdency of prices. At New York twenty boat loads were repo taken for export while & similar amount was said to have been shipped from Duluth to Great Brits ain. Strength of cash wheat at Minneapolis resulting from an urgent demand from mill- ers was a further incentive to the purchase of option. Another bullish Influence was the comparatively small increase in me world's visible supply. As shown by availadle stocks increased only ot 1, 'k, compared with crease of 6,500,000 bushels for the ing week of last year. The liberal pi movements In the United States were ap- rarently lgnored. Throughout the day shorts and commission houses were active bidders. Offerings at times were light = At @883 May reached the highest polnt of the day. Final quotations were up %@%e at 88%c. The corn market ruled. throughout the day May closed %c higher at 45lc. The volume of trading In oats was small, but the market held firm in sympathy with the strength of wheat and corn. May closea %e up at 32%c. Provisions were weak as a remult of con- tinued selling of lard by local paci e cler "tpdre.
