Later on we may experience great de- cided change on the part of those who cling to the belief that the crop Is doing well. Prices were up a point the first hour, but disappointing eahles checked buyers. Hesitation was displayed by both sides in view of the general indifference of all branches caused from the celebration of the Jewish Day of Atonement. The wealth CT map indicated fair conditions in every section, with GO degrees temperature at Memphis and Little Rock. 62 degrees al Vicksburg, and the highest, So degrees, al Galveston. Picking has been favored by the fine weather the past week, and re- eeipts should assume large proportions be- fore a great while if the crop is large one. After thirty minutes Liverpool ap- peared here as a pretty free seller, causing 3 to decline. Receipts at the ports today were 9, 000 bales. against 13,o00 bales last week and 1700O bales lthe same week last year. The movement on the whole is quits full, but in view of the premature open ing the receipts are causing no particular concern. There was little doing In the late market

New York, September 14.-Options opened steady, with prices unchanged to points lower, and following an interesting course throughout the session. The underlying trend of sentiment was bearish, owing to disappointing cables, larger receipts, slug gish Liverpool demand and the almost total absence of outside investment interests An increasing warehouse movement check ed bear selling.

 New Orleans, September ff.-Liverpool was two and half sixty-fourths up on fu- lures and 1-32d higher for spots, sales 600 bales when our market opened this morn ing at 7S for October, but late specials re- duced the improvement one sixty-fourth on futures. Coupled with the failure of the English market to hold came selling cables in large quantities and as a result Amert- can markets lost some seven points, Oeto- Der here selling as low as 5.71. There WAS a light rain in north Texas and it may be this or uneasiness as to the Transvaal sit uation that caused the early slump in prices. After publishing the New Orleans and Houston estimates for tomorrows re- ceipts, which combined are 16,000 to 1000 as against 1745f last year and li2s9 in 1887, the market began to do better. At this writing q 20 p. m), four points Of the early loss have been recovered. There Is good demand in the Atlantic states for early ar rivals. the southern mills being anxious buyers for good grades. Savannah is quoted one-sixteenth and Augusta one eighth higher today, while Texas is offer- ing sparingly.

By Private Wire from Ware & Leland.
 Chicago September H.-Wheat: Liver pool closed Kc higher; Paris unchanged; Antwerp 1sc lower. Paris miller's pub lication estimated the French crop It 5000 000 bushels less than last year. Cool weather has prevailed, with indications for fair weather with showers west and north- west The Price Current says indications are unchanged. A Duluth authority places the total crop at 560. .000.O00 to 5loO0o OOo bushels Primary receipts 1924 GOO. which are over POO 000 in excess of the sa me day last year. CIearances 100000 bushels. We estimate that they will slightly exceed the 4 900 GOO mark for the week. We confirm thirty-six loads for export: have heard of no cash business here. The first of the large consignment from the northwest or suring arrived here today. It is reported that g. 5GOG00 bushels has been contracted for in the southwest to arrive here during this month and 1t has been given out that if is for export. Minneapolis reports a good demand for cash wheat. The market displayed a good bit of strength early. and Sentember made a further advance, but 1t was more than lost and the market closed weak The early strength for September was based on a yarn of a corner which seemed absurd considering the large amount of wheat that can be poured m here The principal cause of weakness were the large primary receipts, and the failure of European markets to respond to our advance of yesterday. Liverpool is ex- pected to come lower tomorrow Whfen may create enough weakness in the deferred fu- Nfures that may make purchases pfontapie for a turn

 New York, September H.-We have again reached the point where sentiment is di- vided, and the trend of opinion is favorable for a bull market. The impression that the crop has been seriously cut off is gaining ground slowly but Is without question gaining ground. People are shifting from one side to another quite frequently. The feeling may be described as nervous. It will take a good deal to break the market. while not much is required to cause sharp advance. Complaints of poor prospects keep pouring in, but make little impression.

Then followed an upward movement on renewed demand from the short side after which variations were con- fined to q mere point or two with trading unusually slow and almost entirely for the account of room operators.
 English cables were regarded as favorable in the main, considering the bearish tenor of Neilfs latest crop statement. From the crop region information pointed to contin- ued deterioration as to the result of un- broken drought In spot markets firmer feeling prevailed with prices in many, in- stances 1-16 to 1s cent higher on urgent de- mand from foreign spnners as we'll as good inquiry from home points of consumption.

Ry Private Wire from the New 1ork sun.
 New York, September H.-Ihe general corrse of rrices in today's market was ex- ceedingly irregular and trading was light During greater part of the day speculation was held in check on account of hne gen eral uncertainty as to developments Tn the money market and in respect to the dfvfdend on St. Paul. As regards the money market. its tone was really easier than for some time although rates were still rig idly maintained around the full legal rate. Sterling exchange was steady and While the so-called foreign banking houses were again the largest offerers of money on cali, their action did not seem to foreshadow any immediate downward turn on the fer- eign exchanges. No change was made to- day in the bank of England's discount rate. and the weekly statement of the bank showed that it was holding it's own. not yyithstanding the weeks return shipments of gold to South Africa, in connection with the polFticaI crisis there. In its bearing
 mon the foreign exchange situation the regular monthly statement of the coun- try's foreign trade published today. was of particular interest. The imports of mer- chandise for the month of August showed an increase over those last year or over ST. GOO 900, but on the other hand. our eA- ports increased in the same period foy over $2O 900 GOO, thus producing an excess Of ex- ports for the month of nearly $3S 00,00U, against $sS, ,00O 600 for the same period lae year. As noted. active speculative inter- est was restrained by the uncertainty re- garding the St. Paul dividend and the money market The days situation In the main was otherwise rather featureless, there being no important statement of railways traffics submitted, and few oth- CT developments of any importance.

The mar riage has been very happy one, Were you much interested in the slavery question when I knew you?" asked a college friend, who had not seen the officer for thirty years.

Turning to the boy across the aisle, she asked what Johnnie said. Please" came the un- expected answer, 'he says he wants to sing His Country. Iris of Him. !"
