ft5y RT7yAfe W1rS From '. w. Lee & SoI
 NEW YORK, Sept I5.-The weather report today makes it practically certain that the next report will show severe decline in condition. For three successive weeks now the weather summary has been unfavorable. Today it was distinctly bad. We don't like the way the ports are coming in from the South. The con dition of the crop is going backward every day now and would not be surprised to see very much lower figures in October than any one expects. Prices today did not advance as was to be expected sharp an improve ment some of the advance had to be wiped out. This came with a setback of 20 points. We would now be inclined to begin buying again on a break below 9A for distant months. This market moves in waves and the next wave is likely to be toward 10 cents after holders have sold. That Is to say, there will not be enough cotton coming in during the present month to weigh upon the market. There will be the fear of very much lower figure on Oct 3rd and this will restrain short sellers We are not inclined to look for a bad break below oA until we know more about the size of the crop Reports show general crop deterioration and we need too much cot ton this year to have anything of the kind take place As the advance to 10 cents seemed fo furnish a favorable chance to sell and at the same time work for lower prices, We would he more inclined to buy a good ivNak now than to be short of the market. Reports are not likely to improve and 1t will take a big crop movement to break the distant months back to 9h cents. This is no market to grow bearish on declines.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
AGGRESSIVE SUPPORT IS AC
 CORDED SEPTEMBER.
Ghs Option Sells as High as 11:3o and Other Months Show Gain Selling Orders Come in and
 Prices go Downward.

NEW YORK, Sept I5.-The cotton market opened barely steady at an advance of IT points to decline of 3 points. February and March were the oRly options lower. The ad- vances were due to renewal of bull support and lowering following the higher English npot market where prices were marked up an- othei i6 points and the relative firmness of Feptember in that market, which advanced be- f<ad local expectations. while the later posi- Uone uNpre hardly as high had been consid- cred duQf to the New York closing of the previ- ous da1ivery. September here came in for the m06t aggressive support and sold as high as ii 30 on the call, while October, reached IO.l0 and December 999 and January e.77. Almost immediately however. selling orders came pouring in as a result of disappointment over tns showing of the weather map which had been expected to reflect no little damage from the Southern storm. This, however. ap- peared to have spent its force in Florida and to have developed into nothing more than ssgood, soaking rains'' by the time it reached the central belt These were thought to be
 more beneficial to cotton than harmful and brought about active selling for both ac- counts. under which prices reached level come 799 points below yesterdays level Then weather with frost predicted in portions of Texas and outside selling orders subsiding, the room turned for cover and prices rallied partially. The advance was short lived, not withstanding the fact that the regular weekly report of the weather bureau proved even more bulish than had been looked for and dup- ing the afternoon the market ruled generally weak. reaching the lowest point of the ses- sion under active liquidation and selling for short account. September sold as low as
 to92 October g. S6 and December 9.79 and January ee7 Just before the close the de- 1nand became slightly better on the reaction theory. and September rallied a few points
 closing at i.ol. Generally speaking, however
 prices were finally at the low point with the
 market steady net l662o points lower. Sales
 estimated at 600, 900 bales.

 NEW ORLEANS, Sept I5-Early Liverpool advices were better than expected. conse- quently our market opened 5d9 points higher, but subsequently, declined lfGlS on realizing due to the later easness in Liverpool and the continuance of generally favorable weather conditions throughout the South. About this time the issuance of an unfavorable weekly weather report ocasioned an advance of 6 points. This. however. was only temporary, as every one tried to liquidate at once and as there was an absence of buying values declined l3a s points making the net loss 10 points September and about l2 on the later posi- tions. The summary of the weekly weather report was as follows: Further deterioration reported throughout the cotton belt. Shedding and rust are extensive and quite general com plaints of premature opening are received from the central and eastern district. The greater part of the cotton belt is now suffering from drought and boil worms destructive in To- calities Boil weevils continue to destroy nearly all new forms in the southwestern. central and eastern portions of the cotton area in Texas Cotton is opening fast in all districts and pick ing Is progressing rapidly During the past 24 hours rain has fallen over the southeastern portion of the belt and scattered showers have occurred in the southwest. Showers are pre- dicted over the greater portion of the valley and Gulf States tonight and Wednesday. Re- ceipts show signs of increasing and while there is some spot demand for immediate shipment spinners on the whole apathetic and refuse to enter the market actively. Sentiment is very optimistic and while the weekly weather report was as bad as expected it had been discounted in advance: still there is no denying the fact that e~v genuine encouraging factor will cause a lrp advance. In the mean while with increasing movement and pres sure of spots it is essential that there must be fresh buying to maintain values. We again suggest to our friends to forward their spot cotton as promptly as possible to avail them selves of the high prices existing on early ship mentS.

 Futures opened steady with prices 6d8 points higher than the close Of yesterday. The advance was due to the general expectation of a bullish bureau report "a sensational ad- vance in the Liverpool spot market, cool weather and rumors that the boil weevil had again been found in Louisiana, this time near Alexandria. Soon after the opening selling movement inaugurated and prices driven down 4d6 points. When the Gov ernment bureau report read there was some excitement but prices showed no incli nation to advance. On the contrary they were weighed down by profit taking. It was evident that the effect of the bureau report had been entirely discounted in the trading of yesterday and the early hours of today.

NEW YORK Sept. l5.-some heavy rains fell in the South today. especially at Atlanta, Little Rock, Augusta and Savannah. The early crop reports were again bullish and were quite general. This led to expectation of weekly bureau report from Washington today. Savannah receipts were not far behind last year and this gave some cheer to the bear crowd, but the movement the whole Is so far behind last year that any selling of con sequence does not appear profitable especially as we may have killing frost the next four weeks There is many poor crop reports that there Is undercurrent for short opera tions at this time In fact there Is grow ing belief that the crop is no better than last year and fully late. Shall we make more cotton the coming season than the world will require? The opening better for near months but the distant months went off few points on liquidation by yesterday. Early buy CTS and September showed decided weakness but predictions of frost in Northwest Texas tomorrow scared bears. Cables were lQ4 points higher except September which was 0 higher. The bureau report was fully as bullish as Ioked for and it is probable that We should feel Its effects later. Port receipts estimated at 5000, against 4o,ooo last year.
