BALTIMORE PROVISIONS.
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Sept. S-Unusual dizziness,
even for this period of the year, charac-
terized today's stock market Elements
of interest were entirely lacking and the
volume of business was disappolntlngly
small in view of the triple holiday and
the apparent intention of the Secretary
of the Treasury to relieve any strain on
the fall movement of currency. Opening
prices reflected a firm undertone, local
traders taking courage at the higher
range for American in London. Last
weeks buying of Atchison shares was
resumed and some activity was shown
by Canadian Pacific, Southern Pacific,
Rock Island and Wabash preferred. The
buying of the Pacifcs was reported to be
for foreign account, London being fac
tor in the days operations, trading IN
about 10000 shares. Commission houses
! took virtually no part in the business
| of the early day The list sagged gen
orally after the first hour, all the active
stocks losing their advance, and at times
thereafter the market was absolutely
inert. Here and there where stocks were
pressed for sale, prices yielded readily,
for instance, Reading, which was sold for
| Philadelphia account. The early after
noon brought movement in several of
the specialties, North American advancing
| 21h, Colorado Fuel 113 and Consolidated
Gas IA No significance attached to the
advance in these shares. In the final hour
there was some short selling of such stocks
as st. Paul Atchison, Rock Island the
Western group generally and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit induced in part by reports
of labor troubles on the Lehigh Valley
system The market closed duh and
heavy. The feature of the foreign ex-
change market was the appearance for
| the first time this year of bills covering
shipments of spot cotton. These did
not appear however, in quantities suffi-
Gent to weaken rates for exchange,
which held firm at 1850 for demand.
But the very fact that such bills were
released was taken to mark the begin
ming of a larger export movement for
that staple. Exchange brokers for weeks
have been looking forward to the inaugu-
ration of this movement as affording the
best basis for depressing the sterling
market, where gold could be used as a
form of remittance. Locally the monetary
situation was unchanged.
The bond market was rather quiet and
showed some irregularity in the early
dealings. In the afternoon the market
stiffened UP and closed steady, despite the
heaviness in the stock market

from $50 and 9.75 all through the summer,
there was apparently nothing in the situa-
ton to cause much of decline below $50,
nor much of an advance above go This
would have continued toda! had it not
been for the speculative craze that seized
one firm and the manipulation undertaken
by the New Orleans pool at the same
time. Thousands and tens of thousands of
bales of cotton were bought all the way
from 9.75 to 1850 and the people who
bought this cotton have suffered some of
the most uncomfortable moments of their
lives the last few days But now the mar
ket has worked back to 975. What is the
position? Reports coming to hand from
the South are very different from those
during the summer The crop is not do
ing as well by any means, and the late
ness of the plant makes very late frosts
necessary The Government report which
may or may not have been justified, does
not reflect the condition that exists to-
day The condition is Undoubtedly consid-
erably lower. A short interest has been
created and the long interest pretty well
cleaned out. The market has broken from
81 to IS bale and everything favors pur-
chases below 9.75 for the time being AS
we were very much opposed to the pur-
chase of cotton over ten cents for the late
fall months, throughout the entire advance
we would most certainly take In every
bale of short cotton and would not be
afraid to risk the long side on all weak
spots now.

New York, Sept. S.-The cotton market

In the meantime the Liverpool market
had declined IL points, or considerably
more than required to correspond with
the closing of the New York market

from heavy and general liquidation, chief
ly by continental spinners following a
belief in large crop of American cotton
this season with favorable weather and
an ordinary frost date. The market here

the result of fears of a more bullish

The report itself subsequently more than
justified its expectations, and the advance
was continued until net rise of to IL
