Baxter 6. Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, September 19-L:verpool went off today and the weather news from the south was more favorable for the crop, since the temperature was consid- erably higher although not high enough to give the plant much of a start in view of the lateness of the season. The Chron- icle was rather bullish and most of the firms were receiving many additional re- ports of crop deterioration. The fact that cotton is moving so slowly appears to disconcert some bears and the short in- terest is so big that any attempt to cover on a large scale would bring about a very great advance It is dawnng on the minds of the trade generally that one cannot make big crop this season under the best conditions. Liverpool this week lost 29,000 in her already small stocks, which are now down to 174.000 against 3O5- coo last year. Bradstreet reports for the week were bullish and there were no signs or claims of any great increase in the movement, although it's fully due long since. The market opened 1 to points lower on fair dealings. Some of the reports were rather dsquieting. New York weak ened during the morning because Norfolk and Savannah reported large receipts. There was a substantial advance near the close and final figures were about the same as the opening

 orous struggle, and the fact has been en- phasized with pronounced distinctness that the seller must continue assuming the defensive in this seasons combat. It seems only a few days ago when visions of a mammoth yield confronted the ma

Present events give rise to seri- ous doubt about farmers being over anx- ions to dispose of early pickings, especial 1y at concessions, while reports about re- sumption of operations by various mills lead to the impression that cotton will be sought in liberal quantity without much further delay. Under such circumstances it seems distinctly safer for the present to follow the policy of buying on easy periods of the market. There is no tell ing how much crop deterioration the Octo- Der bureau report will signify and even the spectre of frost is destined to exer- else an unprecedented influence on values.

 About a Rally WEATHER MAP FAVORABLE Clearing Outlook Leans to Predictions of Increased Movement, Which In Turn Restricts Buyine-Mar-
 ket Rules Fairly Quiet.
WEATHER MAP FAVORABLE

New York September 19.-The cotton market opened steady at unchanged prices to T points lower, following lower cables than expected, but showed con siderable steadiness at the lower level, and shortly after the call, rallied to about last nights finals on the more active months as a result of scattered demand which was promoted by the continued low temperatures.
 Otherwise the early weather map was favorable and the clearing weather led to predictions of an increased movement which In turn had a restricting effect on buying, while the low temperatures rendered the bears less aggressive, with the consequence that the market ruled comparatively quiet until after the first half hour, when offerings increased, the market became slightly more active and prices eased off somewhat.

U. S. STEEL THE SUFFERER

New York, September 19.-The opening of business on the stock exchange today was the signal for another aggressive drive against United States Steel com mon and the industrial list generally So fierce was the attack that the decline in the prices embraced practically the entire list and many stocks found low levels, steel common going off a full point Some of the so-called gilt-edged industrials registered severe losses, case in point being Westinghouse Elec- tric, which sold off over 20 points, with a loss of almost half as much in the preferred stock
 Other issues that bore the brunt of the opening onslaught included Republic steel preferred Sloss Sheffield, United States Rubber preferred and Amalga- mated copper. The railroad list also de- clined, St. Paul, Rock Island, New York Central, Canadian Pacific, Chesapeake and Ohio, Norfolk and Western ana Erie second preferred, all making mate rial recessions. The break in the raiiers' however, probably resulted from the nedNY SGlDnB Ol AlclloOlt o'SSA western firm which was recently promi- nent on the buying side. The demonstra- ton against steel common was begun py a specialist who offered the stock at 17% and then down another fraction. Bear traders then took a hand and suc- cessfully hammered it down to IT.
 The market steadied before the end or the first hour some support being given to steel and other industrials. The amount of short covering was also very extensive. After a brief reaction, prices again steadied and following the publl- cation of the bank statement gradually improved to the close, which was steady and moderately strong. The one favor able feature of the statement was the contraction of more than &,5O0,OOo in loans. A survey of the week on the stock exchange shows that in most es- sentials it was a repe ltion of the pre- vious one The market movement was again narraw and always under profess sionaI control, the outside demand for stocks being too small to merit serious consideration.

 The future market was quiet. The opening was barely steady with prices from to 6 points lower than the close of yesterday. Liverpool cables were unfa- vorable prices being lower, and much un- easiness Is felt there for fear of trouble among the Egyptian spectators, who have been operating heavily in that mar ket. The local market, however, had a steady undertone The general deterior- ation reported had the effect of offsetting the bearish features and served to sup port the market In the trading the fluctuations were numerous but of very narrow limits.
