vanced one to three points and also sent
in buying orders to our market. AS re-
suit, offerings were consumed readily at
the opening and after the receipt Of
frost news and the Houston estimate the
market advanced quickly. Later it fell
off few points on liquidation, but again
strengthened under general buying from
all quarters The close was near best
prices of the day. Contracts here have
been unduly depressed, and as the South
ern spot markets are higher, it prevents
an accumulation of cotton here. At
anything below So cents for near deliv-
cries there is no profit in selling spot
cotton on contracts here. This leaves the
short interest a speculative one and the
market, therefore, subject to manipula-
ton. If rumors can be credited January
contracts have been bought enormously
by parties with a view of cornering that
month with the probability of moder-
ate yield, and to the fact that our mark
ct must advance to induce. shipments of
cotton here.

today. While corn shorts were largely
prepared for this sort of news there was
a good upturn in the coarser grain early
and a good active business was done.
Principally in sympathy with the corn ad-
vance. wheat made fair early gains. The
outside situation, however, was weak.
Warmer weather was predicted and while
some of the corn was reported damaged
fifty per cent longs in general took
profits Most of the corn gain was lost

New York, Sept 12.-The cotton market
opened firm and four to nine points
higher in response to a bullish set o.

was influenced by less favorable crop

The local trade was made very uneasy
by the appearance of cold wave over

freezing temperatures just north of the
cotton country, the range being from 70
to 3S degrees. Fearing possible frost

were very heavy, but this factor had been

a slight reaction the market again turned

official forecast for frost tonight in
Oklahoma and Arkansas. The bears,
having fresh in mind the condition re-
port OF GA on the Bird instant were greatly
alarmed by this new factor, and feared
positive disaster possible, as the records
show no precedent for this time of the
season. Still later the market settled
back several points under profit taking

STOCKS AND BONDS.

close of todays market, and the list
which had been heavy throughout, closed
with marked declines. Opening prices

lied the days comparatively moderate

of New York support, though later there
was considerable Improvement and a
better demand for international in that
market Missouri Pacific was the chief
sufferer in the early trading, selling off

insiders had discounted the extra stock
issue. st. Paul received support soon
after the opening, but in the main stocks
which then held their own, were of the
so-called pool class. There was no great
pressure against any particular stock,
but the early rate for call money-19 per
cent.-coupled with reports that some of
the banks were showing discrimination
in the matter of collateral added to the
increasing uneasness. Louisville and
