New York, Sept. authorizations in cot
ton futures to-day were quite violent at
times, with the market feverish during
the morning and early afternoon Trad
ing was spasmodic, with aggregate trans
actions the largest, perhaps, In several
weeks.
Prices declined BOA points sympathetical-
~ at tue opening, futures at IhVefDOOl
having shown weakness. Immediately fol-
lowing the call our market became unset
tied under prospects for an exceptionally
heavy movement of cotton at the ports,
as well as the more important interior
towns. Liquldations set in on a moderate
scale and the more confident bears ma
terially increased their obligations on the
short side, believing that the downward
turn toward scent. cotton was at hand.
A few scattered selling orders were re-
ceived from the South and abroad, which
added TO the general weakness. While
sales Of 12,000 bales spot cotton at I'M
changed prices in the Liverpool market
was considered liberal, a decline OF 2G3La
points in futures more than offset this
factor.
Rumors that Central Gulf states had
been visited by veritable cloudburst dur
ing the past twenty-four hours, later cor
roborated by official weather bulletins, led
to a change In the front and by midday
the bull crowd had succeeded In regainlng
the early loss. Shorts covered on an ex-
tensve scale and for a time even the
stronger bears bowed great uneasiness.
According 10 the bulletin on Change 7.50
inches of rain had fallen within the past
twenty-four hours at Chenneyville, La;
154 inches at Waynesboro. Miss; 2.60
inches at Monroe. La; 5 inches at Mobile.
Ala; 2.52 at Warren, Ark; 180 at Forest
City and Brinkley, Ark; 1876 at Memphis;

inches at New Orleans.
Showers 20 moderate rains were also
noted in other sections from Texas and
the Carolinas. The market again eased
off in the afternoon, under realizing the
latter being due to estimates for another
heavy moment at all points tomorrow
Trading was less active, although the
usual squirt occurred just at the close
The market finished the day barely steady
with prices 1Q2 points net higher.
