NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES
New Orleans. Sept. 25.-Cotton flu
lures closed steady.


New Orleans, Sept. 25.-Liverpool was
again disappointing, but our market
only opened 1Q2 points lower, subse-
quently became easier on the weakness
of spots, selling off 3@6 points from the
top, closing at a net loss of 608 points
on the day. Sometime back we called
attention to the small interest in Sep
TENDER spot engagements, which was
predicated on the information we re-
ceiVed from large exporters. The bulk
of the trade, however, were of the
opinion that there was a heavy short
interest, which had to be filled in the
latter half of the month. Working on
this theory, large spot holdings were
accumulated in the interior with the
expectation that a brisk demand would
set in and thereby enhance values In
stead, however, spinners have been in
different and there has been less in
quiry during September for spots than
has been known for many years. From
the uneasiness and weakness of hold
ers apparent day, 1t seems as if they
are beginning to realize that the Eu-
ropean textile trade conditions are very
unsatisfactory. The moderate move
ment is naturally caused by the apathy
of exports, the restricted demand and
holding back for higher prices. And
as this is well known, it loses it's er-
feet under the circumstances. While
spurts are to be anticipated from time
to time, it will require a revival in
speculation and an improved spot de-
mand to maintain present prices.

of interest in the early dealings apart
from the copper stocks with the ex-
ception of Manhattan Railway, which
was again aggressively strong. The
so-called junior Vanderbilt stocks and
particularly the Nickel Plate issues,
also advanced further. Fluctuations in
st. Paul, Union Pacific and the other
ordinarily active issues were compar-
atively small. There were no develop

Discussion as to the conditions and

The cotton markets showed an easier
tendency to-day on the rather limited
demand at spot centers, due to spinners
carrying out their policy of holding
aloof from the market until there is a
yielding on the part of. holders The
news of the day was bullish from near
" every standpoint, the receipts at
the ports being light, the indisposition
among holders about offering, and the
urfavorable tenor of crop reports.
These did not apparently counterfeit
the liquidation of futures at New York
however, which closed quiet at a loss
of to points.
The local spot market was feature
less, with generally moderate de-
mand reported from all sources. Hold
ers are not putting their cotton on the
market, while on the other hand, spin
ners are as persistent in carrying out
their policy of remaining out until
there is yielding. There was a notice.
able check in to-days offerings by the
country, which may mean that holders
regard the outlook favorable from
their standpoint, and do not intend to
offer just now at concessions. For i'm
mediate shipment basis good middling
sold around Lice to-day. Towards
the closing exporters were bidding TIC
for prompt shipment. Cotton futures
at New York closed quiet to points

a condition of apathy surprising under

abroad can only be attributed to the
depressed condition of trade which en-
ables the spinners to remain out OF the

light movement would have brought
an active demand for prompt shipment.
