There were large offerings of )illH, in consequence of further ex tensive purchases of supplies for ex pert. Competent brokers think ex mange on London, so far as it affects practical purposes, now is almost normal. Financial interests profess to sec in the increasing outflow of ncrchandisc an dfoodstuffs to the bel ligerent nations vastly more than a mere adjustment of exchange. They lcclare that if exports are maintained it their present high level for the balance of the year, American obli gations across the water will be changed to credits, and the present menaces of liquidation of American stocks by Europe be automatically liapelled. Advices from New England and western points indicate another hitch In consummation of cotton pool. Banks In those sections hesitate to Rive their approval, lt is said, unless financial institutions in the cotton growing States show their ability te oortfrlbute their share-435,000,000-' without Increasing their loans at this ind .other reserve centers. For tho first time in several weeks thc banks showed a fairly large loss ?>r cash to the sub-treasury on the known money movement. It was not believed, however, that last week's satiefactory bank statement, with Its restored surplus, would be seriously listurbed. An Increasing demand for money Tor n.ercantlle purposes was report ed here and at other prominent com mercial centers, the most seasonable wei Ahe.* having given an impetus to many ?.nes of business.

New York Cotton NEW YORK. Oct. 28-Today's ad vices from the South indicated a Irmcr tono in the Bpot cotton situa 4on. Local brokers reported that of fers from the southwest showed an id vance of from 1-4 to 1-2 cent for .he recent low levels at some Interior rtx'w points. This improvement was Utributed to a partial- withdrawal of -Oerings and increased activity of ;xports to fill October engagements, rhe more cheerful view of the gen eral situation wa? encouraged by he innchjneetnent of the detailed r' >* tor the operation of the $135,00t,. 'JO ?otton financing pool, and the appear ince of further frosts in the belt. It waa estimated that approximately >5 per cont, of the entire belt had ex perienced killing temperatures dur ng the past 48 hours. Some authori ses thought thc damage sufficient to justify a reduction of nearly half a million bales in' estimates of the -iold. At a meeting today of tho confer ?nco committee with members of ex change having contracts open with Liverpool it wa3 decided to ballot on io cotton below 8 cents fer Decem ber contracts here and to c tole a pro lost to Liverpool against permitting {planers to' buy on call there without releasing straddle accounts In New Fork. -o New Orleans Cotton (By Associated Press.) NEW ORLEANS, Oct 28.-An in creased export movement caused a better demand for both spots and fu 'ure.s today in tho cotton market with [hb result that, in the afternoon, Jan uary contracts traded at 7.20, a new bigh lovel for the week, and spot prices were advanced one-eighth to J 5-8 for meddling.

The ladles qf Anderson and vicin ity now have an opportunity of pur chasing soma Imported P.nvarian Chi na, which probably has a bit of a story attached to its travels and route taken to Anally reach Anderson, S. C. It so happened that Messrs. March banks & Babb had ordered some Im ported Bavarian China in fancy pieces before the European war broke out; and soon after war was declared, they received a letter from the Importers from whom the local Jewelers bought the China, stating that owing to tho war, they could not fuiiill their con tract; but in some manner tho manu facturers of this china over in Bava ria managed to get the shipment through, even after the war had bean in progress for a month or more. Mr. Babb says he knows that tho goods came into this country through an other port of entry from the one usu ally used by these same importers of this same class of goods. The goods came to this country aboard the stea mer "Bohemia." A suitable name for thia china would be the "Blockade Runner," and lt doesn't seem any worse for the excitement of the trip.
