forest fires and that s25,000,000 worth
of property is destroyed. More than
100000 acres of timber land are
burned over and young forest ground

through the Bible to find scripture

Virgin 6 Faunce's Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The market for cot ton futures was fairly active today and busi- ness was generally we'll distributed on both sides of the account. There was some further liquidation. but shorts were inclined to take advantage of the declines on which to reduce their commitments. Trading interests just now are inclined to pay a great deal of atten- ton to the probable yield of cotton, and the yield. 1t Is well known. depends upon the length of the picking season. the amount of open bolls. together with the extent of unde- veloped fruitage and new growth. If the pres ent season is short picking season, 1t is likely that frost will kill the Memphis district if 1t comes any time before October i5 and under the circumstances many bulls are buy ing moderately on the theory that there will be early damaging frosts The bears argue that the consumption of cotton will be governed largely this year by the general trade and financial conditions and as they are not of the best. there is likely to be some curtailment The general speculative cotton market, how ever. will be governed from this time for ward by the movement of the staple and the climatic conditions throughout the belt. The liquidation and short selling seemed most con- spicuous in October cotton, and strong inter- ests were credited with manipulating this op- tion. There were rumors that the New Orleans crowd is preparing to deliver their spot sup- plies on October contracts and this caused a great deal of excitement. The rallying power evident was rather feeble at it's best.

 NEW ORLEANS, sept4 254-Liverpool was 8 points lower on September and 3a4 on the later position. subsequently declining 2d5 ai- ditional on further liquidation. About this time all operators bought on the reaction the ory and succeeded in establishing an advance of 10 points from the bottom September and l6dl0 other months the continued weakness of spots, increasing receipts and ab- sence of new buying occasioned a break of I4ml5 from the top later. but the close spots covering freely caused another rally of tember and 2 on October. whereas the later options showed a gain of 2q3 points the day. The amount brought into sight during the week was 25s. ooo against 35s. 900 last lst to date has been 475. 900. against 956.- 900 last year. With the exception of rain in the extreme western portion of Texas fair weather continues over the belt and 1t is valley and Gulf States tonight and Saturday except showers will occur over the western portion of Texas. If weather Is favorable for growth of the plant as well as picking, not withstanding the recent sharp decline. senti- ment is very bullish and considerable fresh buying noticeable today in anticipation of poor weekly weather report next Tuesday and very unfavorable bureau report on Oct. 3rd. This optimistically inclined claim that the next bureau report will corroborate specu- lative advlces of heavy deterioration in the condition of the crop during September and as a large yield is essential for the requirements of the world it wil ultimately be the means of establishing higher range of values. Spin ners, however, evidence no disposition to enter the market and far textile trade conditions are not encouraging. Nevertheless the ma jority of operators are in favor of the article every effort will be made to enhance prices demand for spots will be the controlling fac tors for the present.

Chicago Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO. Sept. 25.-wheat and corn were irregular. the former closing strong with De- cember &d% higher, the latter steady for the same month at gain of %@h. Oats ruled steady at better prices. December closing a shade higher. Provisions were easier, 56Io lower.

December was up h to % at 769s6 v and soon advanced to 77h. After holding steady at the advance for a time wheat gradu- ally eased of on the resumption of liquidation due to favorable aspect in the strike situa tion at Minneapolis and favorable reports from abroad with lack of outside supporting orders Long wheat came out on stop orders and the weakness that developed carried December down to 76h before the mood changed on re- ports or good export business. The close was steady with the loss entirely reganed, Decem- Der closing at 77h %@%c above yesterday s hnal Foreigners bought freely early and trad ing was moderately active and offering good volume. Bradstreet's exports for the week of wheat and flour were 3,o5o 900 bushels, against 1908. 900 last week and 5, ,o77, GOO a year ago.

prices. The crop is considered by people who are most competent to judge as doing just well enough not to exceed eleven millions and pos sibly much less with an early frost. The scare in Wall Street is responsible for the decline In cotton more than anything else. The crop Is repeatedly stated as late that it cannot prove big one, but traders have been ignor- ing this fndisputabie fact and are being for the moment misled by the increased movement which seems large because we have SO long received no cotton at all of consequence. The opening was somewhat better but the market displayed hesitation. although cables were more encouraging than expected. Affairs in Wall Street were better after our opening, thus checking some weakness. especially in October. Georgia crop reports were poor and Texas was complaining of poor prospects.

By Private Wire From Gilbert X Clay.1
 NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 5.-Transactions in the cotton market were on liberal scale with an irregular trend to prices; during the early hours better demand for spots was reported with the country offering less eagerly with the future department displaying more resistance than for some days. There seems to be a better feeling in English circles as regards the crop, but If weather accounts continue favor able they look to a further easing in the price. Very little notice Is given on this side to statistics. crop news or any underlying factor; all attention being paid to the disposition of the farmer and to the receipts It cannot be denied that the South Is at present experi- encing almost perfect picking weather and the gathering of the crop Is said to be mak- ing rapid headway. which will doubtless be reflected In the receipts. There Is. however. some speculation as to the possible showing of the Oct. 3rd bureau report, which will un- questionaby exert considerable influence in forming the opinion of the trade. Some say a loss in condition of from 10 to 5 points will be shown, while others say even more. l5- point loss would bring the figure down to about 66, against 59. 3 last year. and should the re- port be in any way unfavorabe would be likely to cause spinners to enter the market freely. down the auction flag that has been waving freely. At present. however. we do not see any encouragement to commence the sea sons campaign and expect to see f1uctuating markets governed by the weather and the re- ceipts, and advise the taking of moderate prof its. The bear will possibly have the best of the argument, at least until there Is some abatement in the growers frenzy to place him self the sacrifcial altar and this connec- tion 1t is significant to note the Southern of 40 900 for the week, as against 4 900 last year and 37. 900 the year before. which would indicate that even now the price is becoming attractive.

tBy Private Wire From c. W. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK, Sept. 25:-In the general ex- citement of the week, including the stocks and grain markets. cotton has not been lacking. The staple continues to furnish evidences of the peculiar position occupied by cotton at the present time and the absence of anything like connection over the supply and demand problem. The developments of the wsk have been more in the nature of a movement in sympathy with events outside the situation it. self In other words. prices have declined, not because there is a conviction that the crop will be larger than the needs of the world. but rather because of the crash in stocks and the unloading of large blocks of speculatively held cotton A feature of the dealings in New York has been the liquidation of the cotton bought above 10 cents. It will be remembered that the market was advanced from about 10 cents for October to 10 30 mainly by the enormous buying of one or two people, At that time 1t was predicted that the buyers were laying up trouble for themselves. Cot ton was sold out this week at eh that cost l0A. Losses have been enormous and the trade has generally suffered for the indiscre- tion. It is generally known that large part of the cotton was bought for a prominent rail- road officer who also behind the May op- eration and made a large amount of money. The reasons for the selling were not that cot ton was poor thing to hold, but that, in order to protect stocks cotton had to go over board. The officer in question a trolling interest in two or three roads and such conditions as have prevailed in Wall Street this week lead to caution in every di- rection. The smash in stocks has happened at 8 time when the steel industry appears to be suffering general reaction. It is so generally recognized that steel in the business barome- ter that every one has been influenced by the reports this week. chill has been thrown over general trade. This cannot be denied
 And. for this reason the spinner Is more eau tious about stacking up with material at high prices. At the same time the crop is maturing rapidly and there Is every pros pect of a big movement The crop reports coming in are very bad. Texas Is not going to make the crop that was expected Later on there may be an entire change in the cotton situation by reason of the size of the crop. But for the present there is a very unsettled feeling evident in all directions and would exert our influence In the way of caution at the moment. Influences outside the cotton in- dustry all against an advance in prices and the unsettled conditions in European and domestic finance tend to make one conserva- tive about buying anything for bull markets.
