SPECULATION At
No TIME ACTIVE
Prices in Cotton FIuctuated With

AN UMEVENTFUL SESSION
Bear Element Derived Some Comfort
from Unfavorable News-Futures

New York, Oetoter 2I-In today's mar
ket for cotton futures, speculation was at
no time active, White fluctuations were re-
strieted to a range of but points. In
vestors manifested almost fetal indffer-
ence and room traders were reluctant to
make a decided stand in view of the con-
fusion of ideas prevalent and an absence
of decided change in The crop situation.
The opening was steady, with prices to
3 points lower, following weakness in Liv-
erpool. Within the first fifteen minutes
last nights prices had been reached and
left behind. shorts having covered in
struggling fashion by the news that re-
ceipts would be light for tie day. But by
the end of the first hour the market had
lost all of its snap and energy, and for
the rest of the session ruled uneventful
with the pit most of the time almost de-
serted
The bear element derived some comfort
from the unfavorabie rews. the knowledge
that the outside long interest was Il form
liable obstacle to successful bull specula-
ton and the reluctance shown by outsiders
to further lead up. Favorable features of
the market were bullisa statements from
the cotton belt, these confirming rumors
that northern spinners Were seeking sup
pies of raw material on a urge scale and
that exporters and October Shorts were
also in the market for almost unlimited
lines.

light, the seaboard reported seventy-five

The West is asking bids on new corn for
thirty days shipment.
Oats held their own, which is better than
the other grains did. The contract sock
here increased only $4,000 bushels for the

cline. The cash demand was good for

Dullness and inactivity were the only
characteristics of the stock market yes
terday. The yacht race was apparently of
much more concern to Wall Street than
the market and during the greater part of
the afternoon business was excessively
light. The opening was at level on an
average half a point or more below the
close on Monday, and during the early
trading there were further declines Some
support was given to the market in the
afternoon by good buying OF St Paul, and
a slight rally occurred, but before il had
progressed far another bulge in the rates
for call money caused the few brokers at
work to cease their efforts again. The
close was duh at a level in most cases
better than the opening, but showing net
losses for the day. The outlook is for
a continuance of the professional market
for the remainder of the week, with vio-
lent movements In either direction i'm
probable. The uncertainty of the Trans
yaal situation, the continuance of the tight
money rates, the failure of further gold
imports TO materialize, the advance of the
discount rate by the Bank of England to
! l-2 per cent, are all matters that will
discourage the bullishly inclined operators.
and, on the other hand, the recent large de-
clines in the market and the intrinsically
fine outlook for an early rally Will pre-
vent any serious attempts to break prices
further. The best advice for traders on
margins is undoubtedly to buy only on the
quick breaks and sell with small profits
Investment buying at this level however
seems certain TO be most profitable in the
course of the autumn. This is probably
especially true of many of the medium
priced stocks now selling for $40 TO $50,

"Bill' Church. OF Princeton, and Frank
