The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-09-20

New York, Sept. 19.-Liverpool went
off to-day and the weather news from
the South was more favorable for the
crop. Since the temperature was con-
siderably higher, although not high
enough to give the plant much of a
start in view Of the lateness of the
season. The Chronicle was rather
bullish and most. of the firms were re-
ceiving many additional reports of
crop deterioration. The fact that cot
ton is moving so slowly it appears to
diseoncert some bears and the short
interest is so big that any attempt to
cover on a large scale would bring
about a very great advance. It is
dawning on the minds Of the trade
generally that one cannot make a big
crop this season under the best condi-
tions. Liverpool this week lost $4,000
in her already small stocks, which are
now down to 174,000, against S05, 900
last year. Bradstrcets reports for the
week were bullish and there were no
signs or claims of any great increase
in the movement, although it is fully
due long since. The market opened
to 5 points lower on fair dealings. Some
pool reports were rather disquieting
New York weakened during the morn
ing, because Norfolk and Savannah re-
ported larger receipts than last year
Shorts covered at the decline. Esti-
mates for Monday, Houston, $500 to g.
800, against 1904 last year.

Ware & LeIand's Cotton Letter.

New York. Sept. 19.-The break in
stocks has had a depressing effect upon
the cotton market. In fact, more long
cotton came out than before this week.
This selling was not due to any change
in news on cotton. Reports from the
South were not at all good. But the
decline in stocks had some effect on
the market. Holders seemed inclined
to sell rather than take any chances
ever Sunday, yet in the face of selling,
that proved rather liberal early in the
day. prices held very steady. October
advanced at one time, selling at about
10c, while January was selling at 9.75c.
Some appeared to be buying October
and selling January and December as
a hedge. This may turn well; any
way. it has had the effect of widening
the differences between January and
October Reports from the South show
that cotton is not doing we'll, and there
is less disposition to go short of cot
ton than heretofore. Owing to the
wall street complications, buying is
more conservative and holders are TAX
ing profits on every advance. The sup
nly of cotton is very small, indeed,
much smaller than two years or three
wears ago. The supply is so light that
il is very dangerous to go short OF the
market. as a little manipulation in Oo-
tober could easily put that month

to look as though there was something

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet, with the
demand fair, though not urgent. The
sales were 14s bales. The receipts were
nearly 500 ahead of the same day last
year. The ports got 10000 against 3d.
900 last year.
In the f. o. b. market the demand
was moderate. Owing to the rigid con-
ditions as to delivery insisted upon
by exporters trading is somewhat re-
stricted. Commenting on the market
as seen from the Savannah Cotton
Exchange a prominent f. o. b. broker
said:
I'm view of the fact that there is
a difference of 142 points between Sep
TENDER and October futures in New
York the f. o. b. brokers have large
lines unsold tonight. The exporters
will not buy unless early specified
dates for arrival of the cotton in Sa-
vannah are named and for shipments
that run into October. The prices are
15c under views of sellers. viii Oc-
tober come up to spot or f. o. b. prices
or will spot go to October futures?
This is the interesting question on
change, and with the preponderence
of opinion that spots must decline
shortly to the price of October fu-
tures.j
The prevailing prices for f. o. b.
cotton were IFS to IL 3-16c.

quotations at the close of the market

The future market was quiet. The
opening was barely steady, with prices
from 4 to 6 points lower than the close
of yesterday. Liverpool cables were
unfavorable, prices being lower, and
much uneasiness is felt there for fear
of trouble among the Egyptian specu-
lators, who have been operating heav-
lily in that market. The local mar
ket, however, had a steady undertone.
The general deterioration reported had
the effect-of offsetting the bearish fea-
lures and served to support the mar
ket. In the trading the fluctuations
were numerous, but of very narrow
limits. At the noon closing prices
were 8 points higher to 2 points lower
than yesterday.

the early weather map was favorable,
and the clearing weather led to predic-
lions of an increased movement, which,
in turn, had a restricting effect on
buying, While the low temperatures
rendered the bears less aggressive, with
the consequence that the market ruled
comparatively quiet until after the first
half hour, when offerings increased, the
market became slightly more active and

The Morning News Office,
Saturday, Sept. 10.
The course of the cotton futures mar
kets continues of great interest to the
trade. and particularly since the mar
makes it's probable course extremely
doubtful. To-day's market at New
York was erratic, though closing with
out wide change from yesterday.
The spot market closed quiet at Sa-
vannah, with a fair demand reported.
In the f. o. b. market the demand was
fairly good, but there was DISPOSE
ton among exporters to tie strong
strings to their trades, which made the
contracts the more difficult for the in
terror shipper to fill. Exporters now
want to know within a very short time
as to when the cotton they buy is to
reach Savannah. This effort to get
quick deliveries is construed in some
quarters to disclose Europe's hand,
which is that they mean business over
there and want the cotton. Supplies
are none too large, and the efforts of
spinners to hurry the staple to destina-
tons is construed favorably.
Turpentine closed steady at 81 cents,
with the demand good, and the offerings
taken. Resins closed firm, with the de-
mand good, and the offerings in factors
hands absorbed. Details of the differ
ent markets as follows:

however, probably resulted from the
heavy selling of Atchison stock for a
Western firm, which was recently
prominent on the buying side. The
demonstration against Steel common
was begun by a specialist who offered
the stock at I'm and then down an
other fraction. Bear traders then took
hand and successfully hammered 1t

fore the end Of the first hour, some sup
port being given to Steel and other in

ing was also very extensive.

What Neurasthenia Means.

No word is so common in these days
as neurasthenia; yet 1t is not easy to
define, and many of those who use it
have only the vaguest idea of what it
means. The word originated with a
New York physician and the malady
indicated thereby has usually been re-
garded as a distinctively American
one, though it is found in most coun-
tries of the civilized world, and the
unfortunate Mrs. Carlyle is now de-
clared by Sir James Crichton Brown
to have been "neurotic" Wear and
tear, storm and stress, a badly regu-
lated life, in short, are the causes usu-
