two today, the aggregate sales falling to
below quarter of million shares The
most OF this again was done in the first
two hours of trading Prices of a num-
Der of the principal market leaders ran
off in that time a point or more. There
was no important recovery after that, but
the market fell into profound dulness and
neglect and prices remained almost mo-
honess. The closing was lifeless and
heavy. There was nothing in the news
OF the day bearing on the reversal in the
direction of the prices of stocks. 1t was
accepted simply as a demonstration of the
futility of the efforts of professional trad
ers to move prices upwards to any large
extent. part of those efforts had con-
sisted in conveying the impression that
the large financial interests were in SYM
pathy with the movement There were
operations in todays market which were
understood as intended to show that the
large banking and railroad interests felt
no approval of these professional efforts
TO advance stocks. Brokers who have
supported the market while professional
bears were attempting to force declines
during the past week and who were sup
posed to act for great financial leaders,
sold openly today in different stocks
around the room. This led to the pre-
sumption that it was intended to discour-
age efforts to lift prices.
Yesterdays views of the transfer of the
underwriting syndicates' holding in Me-
tropolitan securities to other inside inter
ests was decidedly modified today. The
rise in the local fractions yesterday helped
the advance elsewhere and today's sharp
reaction in those stocks was of correspond
ing sympathetic effect. Wall Street was
inclined today to regard the operation

summaries have been rather unfavorable
and this would rather operate against
any Improvement for the month. In
either event no material change is expect
ed. though personally we shall be very
much surprised if the department. gives
us a condition of over 80. This would
be too good to be true. The other de-
velopment of the day was the weekly
weather report, which stated that cotton
had deteriorated in many sections, owing
to rust and shedding. The boil weevil
did not occupy as much space in the
report as one might have expected, and
in fact the insect is said to be doing
less damage in Northern Texas. Taken
as a whole the document was not such
as to make the trade feel justified IN
shorting cotton, though enough came on
the market to leave prices lower for
the day. Liverpool did not respond at
all to yesterdays advance, and if reports
are to be believed, one or two operators
here in New York have sufficient load
of cotton to occupy all their attention
for some time to come. The market has
now reached the level particularly just
before the marketing season, when it is
no longer advisable to pursue the buying
policy on declines.
The cotton crop of 1s02-19O3. according
to Secretary King, of the New York
Cotton Exchange, amounted to 1858, 759
bales.

New York, Sept News today was
rather conflicting. On the one hand the
Journal of Commerce reported an in
crease of nearly three points in the con-
dltion of the crop, which brought the
figures up to the same as those reported
by the Washington authorities a month
ago. This improvement attracted gen
eral attention, and by many was thought
to indicate that the coming report on
Thursday would also show some advance.
On the other hand the last two weekly

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Sept 1.-The cotton market
opened weak at decline of 6Q14 points
under heavy realizing and liquidation as
a result of the low cables and better crop
news. There was no lack of bull support,
however. and for a time the market hung
around the opening figure, then as out-of-
town selling orders came IN declined to
a level net 1923 points lower on the act
i've months. At this point offerings be-
came slightly less insistent and good buy
ing of October and September for the
bull leaders brought about partial re-
action, September gaining about IL and
the late months from 4@6 points At these
figures the weekly weather bureau report
was read, and while mentioning about the
extent of deterioration expected proved
to have been pretty well discounted. Its
immediate effect was an advance OF OF
points, but this was almost immediate
ly lost and during the balance of the SEES
sion prices showed an almost uninterrupt-
ed downward tendency, being finally at
within a point two of the lowest Tor
the session. The close was barely steady
net 22m29 points lower Sales were es-
timated at SOC, 900 bales The opening de
clines, both here and at Liverpool were at
tributed very largely to the special crop
condition report of the Journal OF Com
merce showing the condition to be the
rest for the period for several years past
and to have gained 90 per cent. during
the last month. This report was accepted
as a guide to the probable showing of the
government, September 81 and seemed in
line with popular opinion as to the crop
outlook. The weather reported was also
of bearish average, although tempera-
lures continue low in some sections. The
movement remaining very small, the spot
situation continues strong and spot sales
were reported today in the New York
market of some 1896 bales, including 1000
for export; 1,266 to spinners and 100 deiIv-
cred on contract. Spot prices were, un-
