THE LOCAL MARKETS

The only noticeable feature in the pro-
duce market yesterday was a large con-
signment of sweet potatoes from Virginia.
These potatoes are unusually fine and
are bringing good prices. Cocoanuts are
also coming In rapidly and are selling
from $3.50 to 81 a hundred.
The local cotton market dropped about
10 points, and as has been the case for
several days. very little cotton was
brought in.
There was very little change in iocai
stocks and bonds.

WHOLE LIST LATER FELL

New York, September 25.--The cotton
market opened firm with prices to 6
points higher IN sympathy with strong
Liverpool cables and on reports of crop
damage by heavy rains over the central
and portions of the eastern belt. Shorts
and the local bull crowd bought on the
opening, but the commission houses
seemed to be abundantly supplied with
selling orders. Following the call the
whole list eased off quite sharply under
pressure Of public long cotton and with
drawal of clique support. The later cables
from Liverpool proved to be very disap-
pointing and Europe became a seller
here. New Orleans and the west offered
the winter months quite freely and the
commission houses continued to sell scat
tering amounts OF December, January
and March. The private crop reports
averaged up bearishly, but were Offset
by heavy receipts and easier spot cot
ton markets The investment element
was disturbed by the weakness in the
stock market, and fear of tight" money
again. All through the late session the
market displayed underlying weakness
and prices continued to settle slowly,
january working down to $3.50 and March
to SAB Rumors that the Wall street bull
combination were selling out did not help
matters in the opinion of nervous longs
even though these stories were fatty de-
MED by persons in a position to know
The market was finally barely steady,
with prices net to 10 points lower To-
tai sales estimated at $4,000 bales, we'll
distributed through the list. January and
March kept about rs points apart all day.
