MARKETS FOR FUTURES THE SEPTEMBER SHORTS HAVE A SCARE. Practically the Last Notice Day of the Month Proves to Be One of
 E1citement-Advance
 Was Rapid.

NEW YORK. Sept 2e.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of points, follow ing higher cables and covering. Almost at once September turned very active and excited Trading in that position is at an end after noon on Wednesday and this was considered practically the last notice day for that de- livery. Some notices were said to be out, put stopped by house representing the New Or leans bull contingent and the New Orleans bull leader was in the ring supporting September agErezsively. The result was a wild scare or shorts and the fluctuations in September were the most violent of any since the early days Of September was iI.I2. It opened this morning at lI.f6, sold at lf.i7. then jumped to lt.2S and from that to i2.o5. a net gain of very near cent pound or $500 on trading con- the demand somewhat and the price reacted to lI.50. but rallied again to II 80 and closed at lI.7o. The scare of September shorts ma turalIy exerted a strengthening effort on the general list and while the receipts were heavy. the estimates for tomorrow's movement fuii and the weather favorable, prices ruled gen. eraily firm. There were two or three reaction ary periods. and an important interest seemed to be opposing the advance vigorously, but prices were forced slowly upward and at the best showed net gains of 8dl7 on the active months. Toward the close there was enough realizing to take the edge off the market, but the tone was finally steady at net gains of 46fI points on all options except September, which closed as indicated above. net 58 points higher. Sales were estimated at 6OO.OOO bales. The initial advance was accompanied by rumors more less vague of yellow fever in Texas and a possible restricting agent in connection with picking and shipping This factor was not very seriously regarded. how ever, and was lost to sight in the ex- citement attending the September develop ments. Another influence encouraging to the bulls was the expectation that the October re- port of the Goverdnment, due on Saturday, would show deterioration.

Chicago Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO, Sept. 2s-weakness in Wall Street and heavy worlds shipments depressed grains today. December wheat closed < on; December corn was down A9% and oats < lower. Provisions were irregular. closing from 200 lower to 22hc higher.
 The demand for wheat was slack and condi- tions at home and abroad were bearish. North west and Southwest markets were lower and with weak cables and large worlds shipments, liberal increase in passage and slack export demand considerable long wheat came out early. December opened %@%c to N lower at 76k076% to 76Z. Notwithstanding the bear ish influences there was a momentary bulge immediately after the opening on buying by scattered shorts, on which December went to 77h. An easier feeling engendered by Wall Streets weakness soon followed. however, local commission houses and pit traders selling free ly and stop loss orders were reported on the ensuing decline. December went back to 76% @76%. steadying later on buying by elevator interests to 7sN@77 net iSss sss s6o of S at the Primary receipts were i.l67. POO. against i,- e7l 300 last year.

the maximum this season. These features in conjunction with expeetant heavy receipts un- occasionally operate against an enhancement in values; there is. however, evidence in plenty that commodity has inherent strength. The statistical position is so strong and our crop than possible that only a moderate yield can be expected, fin which case the supply will barely suffice for even reduced consumption, not to mention a surplus for reserves, and 1t will be, to say the least, a decidedly impru- dent mill owner who will neglect to supply his wants at favorable moments. The weather for the past week has been generally favorable for maturing and the rapid picking of cotton and 1t is possible that the full force of receipts will be felt at an early date. We look for fuctuating markets until the bulk of the crop is past and believe that the lower price goes during the next few weeks the higher will it ascend in 1904. and should the farmer fail to net around cents there will be none to blame other than himself.

TEsy Private Wire From C. W. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-Reports from the South were very bad today and some of the shorts became uneasy. Rumors of a possible reduction of 10 or 2 points in the next port to be issued on Saturday brought in con siderable short covering. There was nothing in the outside situation to increase business and bring in general buying orders and the belief in higher prices, but on the otherhand the short interest Is so large that scattered shorts covering proved sufficiently large in volume to change the tone of the market. Covering be- gan on Saturday and continued this morning in force under drive. September advanced from lI.l5 to I2 o5 and then broke to | 50. This had the effect of bringing in shorts and all options ran up over 9h. In the face of heavy receipts and demoralized stock market the cotton market ruled very much firmer and few were inclined to sell at the moment. As has been the for some time, the situation IS one of the most perpexing in years Out side influences against the market, but crop accounts are very bad The short inter- est is getting unwieldy and this makes short selling now rather dangerous. We would not sell for the present, the Saturday report may start an advance of F cent. The gen eral financial situation is against a bull mar ket in anything for the present. but when such reports now coming to hand are sent from the cotton belt 1t Is wise to go slow pn both sides of the account.

 NEW YORK, Sept 28.-A good adavnce took place in the early market and last weeks sel- lers were eagerly buying back. Cables were very good. much better than was expected and although the receipts promised to be very heavy for the day and for some timN to come
 this did not make much impression. Liverpool was nervous because of many reports of deteri- oration. The news as to weather was of no special importance, except that the tempera- ture at some points continues entirely too low as has been the case for a good many days. The expectation of a bullish October bureau re- port is soaring shorts and it is now fek that the depression of last week was not warranted by the facts as to actual crop situation and that we are 50 near the frost date that the market cannot be kept down and may advance sharply. There was a sharp spurt in Septem- Der delivery during the morning and the gen. eral market was well supported in spite of the fact that port receipts promised to reach ST. oo0 against 50.ooo last year. The tempera- ture at Memphis was down to 50 and at Fort Smith 52 Cables showed an advance of 8 e II points. The movement pointed to 700 900 for September, against .25o 900 last year.

Special to The Advertiser.1
 NEW YORK. Sept 2e.-As Liverpool was better than looked for, market opened 10 points higher on September and advanced 4@7 on the later positions. Shortly after realizing occasioned a decline of i@2. but the bullish estimate of the Texas crop issued by The Hous- ton Post today brought in a buying wave later, superinducng an improvement of lo9 i2 from the bottom. the frmness of spots was Near the close longs taking profits and the absence of fresh buying caused 8 recession of 96l2 from the top, making the net gain points on September, 5 on October and 7@a that The Houston Post will tomorrow issue an estimate of 2.5oo, 900 for Texas. a reduc- tion of 500. 900 bales in their former estimate. issued six weeks ago. This deterioration dur ing the past six weeks is attributed princi- pal1y to the ravages of the boil weevfi, boil worms, sharpshooter and leaf worms. In other words, notwithstanding the large in- crease in Texas acreage The Houston Post es- inmates that the yield this year will be only 96. 900 in excess of last year. the Texas crop then, exclusive of the Indian Territory. was 2.4i2,ooo. With the exception of showers reported in the western portion of Texas fair weather prevails generally throughout the belt. It is predicted however. that showers will probably occur over the greater portion of the district by Tuesday night. and that the temper ature will rise over the interior of the district. Crop reports coming in from various sections are of pessimistic tenor, and 1t Is expected that the weekly weather report to be issued to- morrow will be very poor In addition to this the monthly bureau report. which will be issued on October 3rd is anticipated to show a gen. eral average condition of 65 per cent. or lower. against 8I.2 per cent. last month, or a loss of l6.2 points, This will be compared with 5S.3 per cent for the corresponding period last year, Everything from q crop and statis- tical standpoint is construed bullishly. and. therefore, the majority of operators in the three speculative markets of the world op- umisticaily inclined as an offset to these fac- tors. Textile trade conditions not encour- aging. spinners and exporters remain apathetic. thA rtrnA .oAtx and there seems to be want of confidence in financial circles While these features will ul- timately have a decided influence on regulat- ing values for the time being, any encourag- ing failure will have a tendency to enhance values further with the bullish sentiment ex- isting.

Virgin 6 Faunce's Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK. Sept 2s-There was a great deal of excitement in September cotton today and the price of this option rose and fell with great deal of force. On the high levels, the demand for the delivery subsided. but through out the day there was considerable nervousness over the possibilities for extensive outburst of professional speculation. It was notice day for September cotton and while notices for con- siderable cotton were issued they were reported to have been promptly stopped by a prominent broker representing the New Orleans bull ele- ment. The notices. 1t was said fell short of coevring the entire outstanding short interest. The New Orleans crowd appeared to be ready to accept all deliveries of actual cotton. The general list was quite firm in tone in sympa- thy with the action of September, but the trade generally was nervous and or less un- easiness was in evidence. There was some sell ing of cotton at the better prices, and outside support was lacking the firm levels The spot markets were steady with fair demand and rather small offerings and there were con- hicting accounts regarding the extent of con- sumption during the ensuing year. The move ment of cotton was fair. Port receipts today were 2,ooo. against 5o.S3o the same day last year
