 The Close Was Steady
 At a Net Loss
THE SHORTS TOOK PROFITS

New York, September 12.-Specuation in cotton futures today was less active than it was esterday. The market was decidedly weaker The turn in prices was made largely by local dispatch from Liverpool. Receipts at the port were very heavy and a rumor got out to the effect that Neill was already out with another bearish fore cast.
 On the opening call the market broke to points and by noon showed loss of to Il points. The weakness in the morning increased by selling for Wall street ac- counts growing out of the great weakness in stocks During the afternoon rather steadier feeling prevailed with nothing par ticular in the way of news to explain the change. Yet the market had no substan- tial rally.
 Prudent shorts took their profits in pref erence to believing the abnormally heavy movement of new cotton was less due to an excessive yield than to a premature devel- opment due to the drought. The market was finally steady at a net loss of to F points. the market having sold off near the close under liquidation and bear hammer ing
