COURSE SHAPED BY NUMBER OF
 ADVERSE FACTORS.
Reported Damage by storm in the Spring Wheat Regions and Frost in the Corn Belt-Bonds i Are Irregular.

NEW YORK, Sept. l4.-The course of to- days stock market was shaped by a number of adverse factors, chief among them being the reported damage by storms in the Spring wheat regions and frost in the belt. Lower prices the international securities in Lon don, where consols were again depressed, be- cause of the political situation in Eastern Flu rope also gave a setback to the list, which opened generally lower. the few initial ad- vances having no apparent significance. Mis- souri Pacific displayed the greatest weakness of any stock at the outset. though only trifie heavier than Atchison. Reading. St. Paul. Union Pacific and Amalgamated Copper. Steel common again broke below 20. but came in for fairly good support and recovered. There was a story current during the day that the second steel syndicate which some time ago converted S20o, 900 ooo of preferred stock into $780, GOO 900 of per cent. bonds would soon make another demand for a considerable sum upon the underwriters. but could not be con frmed A reactionary tendency was shown by the list before the end of the first hour. spe- cial pressure being more directed upon Brooklyn Transit well as against Reading and St. Paul, the latter receding over a point The heaviness of St. Paul was attributed to reports of Northwestern crop damages. Much of this news came from Chicago and was accepted with reservation. The afternoon ses- sion of the market was noteworthy only for the stocks as Atchison, Reading.

The break in Southern Pacific partly explained by the companys July report. which showed a deficit after charges of S687, 900. The market closed active and weak.

 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. l4.-Fears of the Gulf storm predicted over Sunday influenced Liverpool favorably and our market in sym pathy opened IS points higher on September 10 on October and about on, the later months. Shortly after realizing occasioned a recession of iQ6 points, but this was only temporary because the expectation of lower temperature in the southwestern section of the belt caused an advance of points from the bottom on September and 3 on the other months. Near the close room traders taking pronts superinduced a recession of points from the top, making the net gain IS points on September and iI@I3 on the other positions Tn response to an inquiry today sent by Sec retarys Hester as to the amount of damage done by the Gulf storm the director in chief of the weather Bureau reported follows: Our reports show great damage only in Southern Florida Fand lesser damage in West Florida Nothing alarming received from Alabama and Georgia as yet, though there will be some high winds today with rain' The above ex- plains itself and shows that no damage has been done so far to the cotton crop by the storm as the section visited in Florida raises no cotton. With the exception Of some rains reported In the Atlantics the weather continues favorable throughout the belt. Showers how ever are predicted over the greater portion of the valley and Gulf States by Tuesday. night Lower temperatures may materiaize in the Southwest and to be anticipated, as they occur about this time every year This, though, will do no damage to the crop. Con- sequently as the storm far has done no damage and as the temperature in the South west will not be sufficiently low to iniure the plant 1t resolves itself that the recent buying predicted on these features was purely from sentiment in expectation of very unfavorable weekly weather report being issued tomorrow Liverpool cables were bullish and as the ma Jority Of traders fin all the market are in fa- vor Of the article and most all shorts are covered 1t will require fresh buying to sus- tain or further enhance values for the mo- any encouraging factor will be eagerly grasped to force prices to a higher level.

NEW YORK, Sept. i4.-The weather over Sunday was of no great importance, although some rain fell in the Atlantic States. The weather was very cold in the extreme North west. where the mercury was below freezing point. and the northwest section of the cotton raising section of Texas the temperature was down to 46 Receipts were as expected, run ming very light again. and the drift of the mail adVices were very bullish to the crop pros poets. The general idea that the weekly report from Washington tomorrow would be quite bullish and some predicted that it would be the worst of the year. The main points however, are that receipts are behind and that within short time there will be danger of frost in the more northern attitudes. Prices opened Ia22 points up on very large transac- tions. Shorts covered on a big scale especially of the near months, and September sold 30 points higher during the morning. Receipts at all ports were f5,ooo estimated. against 35,- 900 last year. Cables were steady at 7dl l6 net advance.

The threat enlng aspects of the weather and the storms In Florida were seriously considered and some sections Of the southerly belt inclined to report damage. There was renewed apprehen- sion regarding the technical position of the nearby contracts; in this connection the fiuc- tuations in September quite interesting The issuance of special weather reports by the Department. of Agriculture was given seri- ous consideration by cott0nsrparkef traders, and the consensus of opiniou was Hat there will be more or less damage to the crop. Hence there was an expectation that tn Government report tomorrow will be bulish The move ment of cotton was fair today and the ndi- cations pointed to an increasing tendency dur ing the ext few weeks.
