Totcil ury had absorbed enough hv h k mM.f die of the week to leave the percenx- age of reserve below the legal require ment unless a scaling down of deposit: liabilities had been effected in the meantime by a loan contraction. . The summary of the week's cour-! rency movement shows that the" sub-! treasury reduced its aggregate with-! drawal -for the week by yesterday's operations leaving the total at $5,430, 000. The banking position here also has had the effect of reversing the current of the interior currency move- time last I Tne extent which the demand for skuujva is incited oy tne advance of prices in itself adds to the risk of cancelling the demand by allowing prices to recede. The action of the market today proved that some cau tious reduction of outstanding com mitments was going on. The stocks which have been most active and prominent recently weri consistently pressed for sale on any advances but the selling orders werj reduced or withdrawn on recessions. The bulk of the day's business was done in the neighborhood of last night's prices. Bonds wer heavy. To tal sales, par value, were $4,378,000. United States .4s registered advanced l-4c on call.

HE COTTON MARKET, (By Wire to the Mornln-z Star.) New York, Sept. 17. The cotton market hatl a lower opening this morn ing but firmed up later and at the close was steady with prices 2 to 7 points net higher. The start was steady at a decline of 7 to 11 points owing to disappoint: ing cables and a renewal of yesterday's late selling movement but at the ini tial figures which were over was a good demand and after irregularity during the middle session the market became rather more active and firmer on reports that the gulf storm was heading northward from the west gulf of Cuba, and bullish advices fro'.n southern spot markets. Last prices were within a point or two of the top and were only some 5 to 9 points un der the high prices of Thursday. There" was not a great deal, of' news in the market. Lower prices at Liverpool were attributed by private cables to American selling, supposed to be by New York bears and Liverpool rallied after the local opening. The weather map showed some scattering rains but beyond reports of damage in the Carolinas and Georgia there was noth ing to create fresh crop apprehensions until reports reached the market from New Orleans that the west. India storm was making progress toward the belt. Southern spot markets offi cially reported early were l-16c lower to l-4c ' higher. . Numerous private wires were received during the "day suggesting a better demand for spots in the south and light offerings, while the trade is expecting large exports between now and the end o fthe month. Receipts at the ports today were 55,000 bales against 33,644 last weekj and 38,342 last year. For the week! 180.000 bales against 151,822 last week1 ua 21,882 last- year.
