Especial to The Advertiser.1
 NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 29.-Liverpool was spots from America. Our market in sympathy opened 26 points lower September. 6 on October and 3@4 on the later positions
 Shortly after. though. fresh buying in antici-
 patton of a poor weekly weather report caused
 recession of 5dS points. About this time the
 report given out and proved to be bad
 as expected and was instrumental in superin-
 ducing another advance of 7d3 points The
 increasing receipts the easiness of spots and
 lack of odtside buying brought out selling
 sence of support, values declined l2@i3 from
 the top, making the new loss 34 points on Sep
 tember and IoGI2 on the other months. The
 fact that spinners and exporters continue apa-
 thetic in the face of the very pessimistic crop
 reports would seem to confirm their contention
 that textile trade conditions are not encour-
 aging. Notwithstanding their attitude the pro-
 fessional operators in all three speculative mar
 kets of the world in favor of the article
 claiming that the present outturn will not be
 sufficient to meet the worlds requirements and
 that prices ultimately will go to 8 much higher
 level The trades attention is being centered
 now the Agricultural Bureau report which will be issued on October 3rd Judging from the weekly weather reports and private ad- vices received from Texas, 1t is claimed that the State will show a deterioration of prob ably 20 points more in condition from the bureau report issued on the 3rd of September. | The condition given for Texas by the Govern ment then 76; therefore, many claim it | will, on Oct. 3rd, be 56 or less compared | to 47 for the corresponding period last year. If these general views on Texas are confirmed by the bureau the chances are that the general | average condition of 65 less, believed in by many. will also be corroborated by that au- | thority. Bulish sentiment continues, but the | future course of the market will be influenced | principally by the spot demand and the bu- reau report.

the mill men are bravely standing their ground
 and refusing to buy cotton at present figures and spots continue in easy stages to seek a lower level. The country is reported today
 as being more disposed to sell with fewer buy CTS in evidence and it seems that nothing can check this movement until a basis Is reached on which mills will operate or until farmers begin to hold back their cotton. Advices from dry goods markets say sellers aver that they have never seen the conservatism displayed that some buyers are exercising and a good many large buyers all over the country think that the coming six months Is not going to be a period of heavy consumption, passing their idea on the numerous labor troubles and the decrease in the earning capacity of the masses,
 New York furnishes today a thorough ex- ample Of manipulation when the September op- ton was advanced 50 points by belated short covering with scpots marked up < cents per pound, though market remains perfectly sane as primary cotton market should and the quotations are regulated by supply and demand. The weekly bureau report, published today, advises further crop deterioration. but was more unfavorable than was generally ex- pected. but was without influence on prices.
 This document if correct and 1t Is thoroughly sustained by our private crop accounts. prom ises very moderate yield. in fact. little, If anything, in excess of last season. The week, however, was favorable for maturing and the that large part of the crop has already been gathered and early and heavy receipts seems to offset all considerations concerning a light yield. Fluctuations will no doubt continue frequent and possibly in favor of the bear until the full weight of the crop is felt. but we can see no reason to change our ideas in ultimately much higher cotton. Indications are years figures and still leave the supply oues- tion a critical one

MARKETS FOR FUTURES  ADVANCE IN SEPTEMBER SOME THING UNPRECEDENTED. Bull Leader Shows No Mercy and 1920 is Reached by the Option,
 Net Gain of 120
 Points

NEW YORK, Sept. 2e.-The cotton market opened weak at unchanged prices to a decline of Q points following lower cables and pros- poets for heavy receipts, but almost at once was rallied by a renewal of the spectacular de- velopmsnts noted in the preceding day in the September. option. Shorts had only until noon tomorroz 10 even up their commitments in that position and after 1t had opened at Il.7o. last unprecedented, even fin the exciting times when July cotton sold around 1870 on the 23rd Of that month. Before the call was completed 1t had sold at l2c and before midday had been run up 10 and IS points at a time until 1 Sc was reached. The market hung for moment but the New Orleans bull leader showed no disposition to ease up and the shorts were again compelled to bid the market up. From t3cf to 1905 was only a step and afterward l3. 20 was reached, the market closing at that figure or net l5o points higher. The advance in September since the close of business on Saturday is a matter of 2iS points about Sio.9o bale. This gain is considered purely the result of the relationship of longs and shorts in that position and the temporary as well as speculative character of the gains were evidenced by the, action of the rest of the market. Of course the predicament of Sep tember shorts served to unsettle the confidence of those who had sold the latter positions but after early gain, which carried the prices to about last nights finals. they eased of again and ruled well below that level. although the weekly report of the Weather Bureau was considered a bulish factor and followed by slight advance. On the other hand, re- ceipts were heavy for the day, estimates for tomorow's movement full and the weather considered generally favorable. though tenn peratures continue low. The general market closed barely steady, net 74l6 points lower that being practically the lowest of the ses- sion. The New York spot market was marked up IFS points to l Sc in accordance with the advance in September. Sales of futures esti- mated at 400, GOO bales.

Iby frlVate Leased Wlre.J
 NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Cotton futures in the local market today opened weak in tone with first prices unchanged to a decline of points. This ruling natural in view of the lower cables from the English market and the beartsh statistical outlook, the prospects fa- voring a heavy increase in the movement However, there was a stout rally as the day wore on as renewal of the furry in the Sep tember option, that option selling above l2 cents in the first few minutes. Developments in the September option naturally rendered shorts in other months rather apprehensive and with the weather map showing rather less favorable conditions, the bulls figured on bulish bureau report at noon. The market ruled firm in tone for time and then declined, showing but little rallying power in conse- quence of the weekly Government report which was better than looked for. showing that much premature opening in the Southwest had been checked. The movement continued lib- eral, however, the port receipts for the day being figured at 72. 900 bales. against SI ,62l last week and 9l 900 last year. For the week the port receipts were estimated at 275, 900 bales, against le9, 900 last week and 5o7, 900 last year. There was more or less mixture of opinion in the latter part of the day the trade in general being apprehensive regarding the September cotton. in which the fluctuations were truly sensational

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 2s..-Spot cotton quiet and steady. The furry in New York had no effect here. Sales 5, $50 bales. including B. 500 to arrive Delivered on contracts I.7o0. Quotations reduced Ills.
 The future market was decidedly nervous. Liverpool cables were worse than expected and they caused a decline which was immediately followed by a recovery caused by reports of heavy rains in Texas. An uneasy feeling in securities coupled with the dumping of 10000 September notices on the market sent prices down again and at | o'clock they were sent up to the highest level of the morning by 8 bulHsh weekly Government crop report. At the opening September g 56 and sold up to 9.7o October. 9.33. sold up to 942; Novem- Der. e.3l. sold up to 9.35; December. e33, sold up to g. 3S; January, 9,37. sold up to g 42; February, 9.3S. sold up to e.4l, and March, $50 and sold up to 9.53. These figures apparently started brisk selling move ment and prices were sent down from 8 to l3 points. The market closed very quiet. the list showing net losses September of 34 points and 1 points each all other positions.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2e-A better tone in the stock market was reflected in the grain and provision pits today and prices ruled firmer. December wheat closing at gain of #. De- cember corn was up h9k and oats hGAc, while provisionus closed from to Sc higher.
 Fairly active buying by some of the leaders in the wheat pit who were influenced by the upward trend of values on Wall Street started shorts to cover early in the day and as a re- suit the market ruled strong. Opening prices were firm on steady cables with December a shade to k@Ac higher at 77@77h. good demand from all classes of buyers soon caused a rally and December sold up to 77| during the first half hour.

 Corn followed wheat in its upward tendency early and the market ruled strong with con siderable covering by shorts. An improved offerings were responsible for much of the early strength and reports of damage by frost in Nebraska helped to create the bullish sen timent. The weekly Government report was decidedly bearish and caused considerable sell ing which resulted in a loss of most of the early gain.

A. B. Baxter 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter..
rBy Private Leased Wire, I


 NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Prices were lower this morning and prices were forced down by weak holders regardless of the strong points in the cotton situation and almost wholly be- cause of the demoralization in the stock mar ket of New York and London. Neither the weather nor crop movements accounted for much, while Wall Street was so unsettled. all though as to cotton itself close students of the situation could see nothing but what should warrant bull market. We near frost that it is considered unsafe to be short of the market in fact. anything near freezing wealth within the next two weeks would cause such stampede to the long side before witnessed and lead to very low estimates since many already believe that the crop cannot ex- ceed last years. Prices were irregular after the opening decline, and at one time was close up to last nights figures. September made sharp rally of 30 points during the morning. Receipts everywhere were running very free, ports estimated at 72,ooo. against 6l .oo0 last year. Liverpool declined 3aS points. The weekly bureau report was quite bullish and especially to the Texas situation the plant ceased fruiting there and much of it re- ported as dying.
