Baxte, & Co.'s cottor Letter.

New York, September 10.-The market opened higher under the lead of good cables. The recent decline was looked upon as unwarranted. The weather In the south was pretty good east of the Mississippi so far as shown by the map, but in the southwest the temperature was too low from Oklahoma to Abilene. Furthermore despite the good showing every day as to rain and moisture the reports from people in position to judge are to the effect that the crop is not nearly so well as 1t has been and in fact has been losing ground right along. more especially in Georgia and Mississippi. Texas also has failed to recover from the effects of the weevii and people there are confident the crop will not prove greater than last year. The market was quiet after the opening, but there was fair buying by southern houses. Re- oeipts were expected to run small, but not so small as they have been. Today's estimates are but 1000 as against 5000 last year. In the Liverpool market prices advanced to points. Galveston received only 1880 bales against To- 200 last year, and New Orleans TIA against 35OO last year.

but encouraging and the interior is offer Ing less freely even though spots seem to be seeking a lower level which. however, is easily explained by the wide disparity and as we stated on yesterday it's a far cry from the present price to that of the December option and 1t is decidedly an open question whether or not the producer will rush his product to market at a con siderable discount as compared with the price at which the season is started On this question largely hangs values ire speetive of the final yield. The week end figures tomorrow may show a further decrease, even though the time Is past when the visible supply usually starts to Increase as the insight for the week will figure in the neighborhood of 75,000 as against 255 900 for the week one year ago. Sentiment today seems to be more evenly balanced and as q consequence the mar ket was decidedly nervous and easily n- fluenced There was some disposition manifested to hammer prices and spas modic short covering, the final result be- ing a net gain of to points for the day. Traders generally seemed more in- clined to note crop reports than for some days past and as the news from the fields Is not of an encouraging nature we look for higher values with reaction from time to time and suggest purchases on declines as most likely to prove profitable until l.e attitude of the farmer becomes more clearly defined.

ATCHISON RESUMES LEAD

New York, September 1O.-The stock market was rather more active today, but the increased activity was in many instances made at the expense of prices. The opening, though tame, was slightly higher, Atchison resuming to an extent It's recent leadership, but later yielding to the United States Steel shares. The extreme weakness of the steel stocks, which were sold in large volume was a disturbing feature. Stories concerning the next action to be taken on the divi- dend on steel common, together with ad- verse trade reports, were freely circu lated, but neither confirmation nor de- nial was obtained from authoritative sources
 Another stock that showed marked weakness in the early session, was Brooklyn Rapid Transit, the result, it is said, of a pool dissolution Norfolk and Western scored a 1 point advance at the opening.
 Trading relapsed into extreme dullness in the second hour and the drift If prices was again downward The reduction in the price of southern pig iron probably influenced the 11a per cent lecline in Tennessee Coal and Iron and was not without effect on other stocks of that class. Colorado Fuel advanced , points for no apparent reason. Business came almost to a standstill in the early afier- noon, but there was some covering of short contracts and prices hardened in some instances only to lose their im- provement later. Forecasts of the gov ernment crop report were conflicting and traders seemed disposed to hold off in the absence of definite news. For tne rest of the day business continued dull and aside from the further large offer ings and increased weakness of the United States Steel stocks, together with some liquidation of Atchison, the late session was almost featureless, and closing prices were generally at the low est.
 Only few issues such as St. Paul and the Pacifics in the list of standard railway shares and some of the high class special ties displayed comparative firmness Lon dons operations here were nominal, the only noteworthy feature being the heavy selling of steel These issues closed with a net loss of 11a for the common and 1h for the preferred The local money situ- alton excited little interest in spite of a gain of $S50.0 by the banks, making n total since last Friday of about $1 500 000 Call money continued available at from to 21a per cent but there seemed little Justification for the statement that nine ty day money could be had in large amounts under five per cent Demand sterling broke fifteen points at midday the result of very light demand.

January opened at 9.52, went to 9.55, fell to 9.4S and then went to 9.61. The en- couraging bull features today were the improved demand for spots in Liverpool and development of the fact that cotton is being sold in that market forty of their decimal points above quotations; the firm ness of dry goods at supply centers; too much rain for cotton picking in many sec tions and not enough for the growing crop in others, and good demand for the staple for the contingent; altogether exerting more or less influence in holding up prices. The board at the close showed net gains of 2 points on September and to g on the other months.
