THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-There was a
small decline in cotton owing to the fact
that there were no killing frosts any
where and that Liverpool cables were
rather disappointing. Furthermore,
warmer weather was predicted for
Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Before
the close there was a rally, however.
owing TO the predictions of cooler
weather in the Atlantic States and light
frosts in Tennessee and North Carolina.
The transactions were on a much
smaller scale, as the generality of opera
tors were inclined to hold aloof. await
ing further developments. Spot interests
bought TO some extent. and Europe sent
few buying orders for January. Light
frost occurred in Arkansas and Indian
Territory.
The market closed quiet, with quota
tions 2 to 4 points lower as compared
with yesterdays closing prices.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. Sept. l3.-Wheat values
gave way under the promise of heavy
receipts next week in the Northwest and
the predictions of fine weather every
where over Sunday. The fact that the
September short interest was greatly re-
duced by yesterdays stampede and that
the Northwestern grain men had been
to more or less local selling. The demand
was rather inadequate. and values drag
ged steadily downward. closing praci-
cally at the bottom. The worlds ex-
ports for the week are expected TO foot
country has furnished a little less than
half Foreign markets were weak. De-
spite the reports of bad weather In
England the average prices of wheat
deliveries by English farmers for the
week was 81 per cent lower than for
the previous week. Our exports today
were 4S3. 600 bushels and the seaboard
reported Il loads OF new business en-
gagged for export Duluth reported ship
ping sales of 100000 bushels.
Corn-Although there were further
frosts extending into Indiana and Illi-
nois. with killing frosts reported in
Iowa. they failed TO excite any enthu-
siasm among corn bulls. Buying orders
failed to come in from the sections in
which losses had been reported, thus
the best of evidence that the
damage was not serious. great deal of
corn bought by the local interests in the
expectation that the public would be
buying later. was put on sale today. The
market suffered from it from The start
and closed at practically the low point
of the session.
Oats were slow and easy and followed
corn in general way. The movement
for the week indicates that there will
be large increases in the local stock.
although the proportion of contract will
probably show little change.

1871 per cent over August. 1900. Consid-
ing many adverse conditions the state
ment is remarkably good and shows an
increase in tonnage on nearly all classes
Of roads.
The increase in earnings is mainly on
granger roads, Southern and Pacific

Large Gains in the South.

In the South there is large gain. and
though the cotton movement in August
was about the same as last year tonnage
in other classes of freight is very much
larger: Pacific roads, including Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, report u
considerable increase in earnings.
With trunk lines is now included New
York Central, and while that road re-
ports a small loss in earnings. probably
due to the loss of anthracite coal traffic.
earnings of all trunk lines reporting
show small gain over last year. In the
West and Southwest number OF lead
ing systems report a loss.

Foreign exchanged. Schumacher ~
Co., in their weekly review, say:
in our market reports of the last few
months we have been laying particular
stress on the immensity of the short in
terest as the cause why exchange was
bound to rule high during the rest of the
year. No position, however. can be
reached or held without some interven-
ing fluctuations. Some temporary reac-
tions we were fully prepared for, but
must confess that We failed to take into
account the possibility OF such extraor-
dinarily high money rates as have ruled
here of late. resulting from the activity
and advances in our stock market. and
the other extraordinary fact that Europe
is evidently still willing TO lend us as
much more money as we need in addi-
tion to the enormous amounts lent us
during the summer.
This ineXhaustible source of supply
is, therefore, drawn upon by our banks
and bankers at an everincreasing rate.
The higher our money market goes the
more they draw, and in selling bills they
need not be particular about the prices
which they have to accept for them,
since per cent interest per annum is
equivalent to IL cents week, or
cents a month.
There is no telling how low exchange
may go and how soon we may reach the
gold import point. This point once
reached and gold coming this way will
mark the turn of the tide. with a grad
ual narrowing of the difference between
ours and the European money markets
and a gradual resumption of the natural
position of our exchange market"

compared with last week and year
ago:

Big Loans on Crops.

'In these days of growing information
al irterdependence. our national self
confidence should not lead us to depend
overmuch upon our own resources. Both
France and England have important pub
lie loans in prospect, but the best ad-
vices are that their postponement Is
being seriously considered by both gov
ernmcnts until American requirements
have been measured and the worlds crop
requirements satisfied.
Needless to say that an urgent Amer
lean demand in Paris or London for
funds at good rates this autumn would
decidedly interfere with the successful
placing of low-rate foreign government
loans. Incidentally this is another tri-
butte 10 the growing influence Of New
York in the worlds money markets"
