WALL STREET. REVIEW
INTEREST IN MARKET CON-
 TINUEs TO DECLINE.
Prices Marrow and Without Mean ing and Operatives are Almost Wholly in the Hands of
 the Professionals.

NEW YORK. Sept. 9.-The stock market to- day was even less interesting than at any time for fortnight. Prices were narrow and with out meaning: in fact the market as a whole was devoid of special features and operations were almost wholly professional. There was no pressure to sell. neither was there even a sembiance of investment buying. Traders we're Ion the fence'' committed to neither side, but rather hopeful of a rally The news of the day was not of encouraging character. Aside from the increasing seriousness of affairs in Eastern Turkey which brought about a fur ther decline in British consols. the decision of Umpire Wright favoring the hard coal opera tors and reports of probable strike among the Colorado coal miners were quite sufficient to check any trading that might otherwise have developed. The banks continue to Jose currency heavily to the interior. Several large shipments were made West and South today. indications pointing to a heavy weeks move ment, considerably in excess perhaps of that reported week ago. The banks explain this movement as perfectly natural and likely to continue in large volume from now on. These shipments were partially offset. however. by the release at this center of SI.662, 900 on account of Australian gold deposited at San Francisco. This money paid out at the sub-treasury and immediately added to local bank reserves. The rates for foreign ex- change were practically unchanged from those of yesterday. The demand for remittance bills was small and offerings were moderate. The days business was limited to the better known railway shares and the fractions. the latter showing marked strength. The active issues were the Pacifcs. Atchison, St. Paul, New York Central. Reading. Pennsylvania, Amalgamated Copper. The coalers made no re- sponse to the decision already referred to. No definite news was heard to account for the improved tone of the traction stocks other than more gossip of all round combination. Metropolitan made an extreme advance of 2%. Metropolitan Securities 2% and Manhattan IT, There was practically market in the early afternoon, but in the last hour short covering indicated that the market had been oversold and prices bid up with some degree of success. This move seemed to be purely technical. however. although there was an impression in some quarters that offerings were being quietly absorbed. The closing was steady. The crop situation developed no new features. Railroad returns show increases in gross earnings 34 out of 38 roads. the av- craze increase being 10. 58 per cent.
 The bond market was quiet and after early heaviness rallied slightly and closed irregular. Total sales tpar value), S928 900. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

 The future market opened steady and quiet with prices from to 10 points higher than the close Of yesterday. The better opening was caused by more favorable Liverpool cables than were expected The bears again had things their own way and at time in the earlier hours had prices from 8 to I2 points lower than the close of yesterday and about 20 points lower than the highest figures of the morhlng.

 NEW ORLEANS. Sept. e.-Early Liverpool advices were better than looked for and re- ports of a severe storm in Texas. and our mar ket in sympathy opened 3ds points higher and subsequently advanced 2G5 points additional on fresh buying. Later in the session 1t was ascertained that the weather was clear and hot in Texas When this became generally known . selling wave set in. causing a break of 2lQ 25 points from the top. Near the closing sen sational reports of crop damage were circu- lated and as shorts covered freely an improve ment of 2I@26 from the be tom was estab- lished, making the net gain 39l5 points on an months except September, which showed a loss of 3 points. During the past 24 hours fair weather has been generally prevalent in the Gulf States. A few scattered showers have occurred along the East Cuff coast and 1t Is predicted that scattered showers will probably occur over the greater portion of the valley and Gulf States by Thursday night. A good many reports of rust and shedding and some few boil weevil damage reports from South western Texas were disseminated. It is only natural that the crop should deteriorate during September because it always does every year. though this deterioration is so magnifed that operators can only be guarded by the weather conditions in forming an opinion as to the amount of damage which has really taken place. Such being the case the weather con- ditions. the demand for spots and receipts will continue to regulate the future course of values In the meanwhile sentiment Is be- coming more optimistic and any favorable feature will occasion a further enhancement.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Cotton futures fin the local market opened steady in tone with first prices at an advance of las points Such ad- vance was the result of moderate bull support. For time. the shorts were nervous and the demand from this source was quite substantial. Subsequently. however. the general list weak ened in consequence of renewed liquidation. There was also lot of rumors to the effect that big storm had blown over Texas but the official map failed to show such develop ment, and naturally the trade was kept In state of nervousness. The large receipts at Savannah, 6.226 bales. against 4. 57 last year, tended to restrict bullish sentiment at times However shorts were rather nervous through out. and on all of the easy spots there was considerable covering. Hence at times, there vas steady ruling. The late market was nervous as whole but neither side of the account was inclined to assume any obli- gations on an extensive scale. The movement iof4cd&ton was more liberal. For the weeek the sr&eiEs were estimated at 1000. against B. s rS Hast week and | 54, 68o last year.

Oats ruled steady throughout and closed with December Ac higher. Provisions were active and exceedingly strong, final figures showing gains of from 10 to 62hc.
 Wheat showed but little activity at the opening and while 1t sold higher, influenced by firm cables. 1t soon suffered a reaction on fa- vorable advices from abroad and liberal re- ceipts at primary points. December showed a gain of 5s@hc to AQssc at the start at 529 S2h but dropped to SIS under the pressure of local selling with some help from St. Louis houses. Kansas City also offered wheat freely on the advance. Later advices however. of Russian shortage and consequent frmness in the Liverpool market with comparatively small increase in the worlds visible brought strength to the late market and values ad- vanced under good commission house demand The close was firm with December Ac higher at s2h@S2% after having sold E higher on the bulge Bradstreets worlds available showed an increase of s66.ooo bushels. against 9o8,- 900 increase last week and 3.9I3.ooo a year ago Clearances equaled w, 400 bushels and primary receipts I.74I ,ooo bushels. against i.- PAS, 900 a year ago.

TBy Private Wire From c. W. Lee Col
 NEW YORK Sept. 9.--The market Is sui fering from the indiscretions of the prominent operators active in September and October de- lveries A decided change of attitude on the mart of professionals noticeable at one time yesterday and large quantity of short cotton was covered. It looked as though some thine better might be expected ins the imme- diate future But shortly &sfter noon the en- tire trade appeared to be taken with desire to sell prices broke sharply and this situa- ton prevailed again this morning. The num- Der of traders who had courage enough, to buy any cotton proved limited, Sentiment Is bear ish in the extreme and 1t Is alfnqst too easy to make money shorting cotton. When it is considered that prices have had a decline of cent a pound, that the crop is only just be- Rlnning to come the market and no one VIII know anything about the yield until after the date of frosts it would seem as though discretion at this time the better part of valor With December and January selling around oik and October below 9z. the situa- tion is different from that when 1t was loh and i0%. But the people who forced prices H and Q cent higher than they had any busi- ness to 20 have lost an enormous amount or money and they suffering from demorali- rafion It Is always Prices were inflated and now the market is suffering for that in fsatfon We are on the eve of a free movement of new cotton.

NEW YORK. Sept e.-Reports of deteriora- ,tion are coming in from many sections of the South through various channels and the feel ing is gaining ground that cotton is not doing well as the case few weeks ago The weather has been exceptionally fine for some time. but the fact that the temperature at night has been very low appears to have been overlooked The mercury has been de- cidedly too low and on this account the con- clusion is reached that the crop will never prove heavy one, no matter how long frost may be delayed this Fall An early frost. 1t Is admitted. would lead to a great buying scramble, no matter how big receipts may be at the time. The movement is bound to be heavy since 1t has been next to nothing far. and until 1t exceeds last years total will not count for much as to prices except at the moment. The market developed much weakness soon after the opening, owing to big receipts in Savannah and some bear selling by people who got fooled on the last crop. Some Southern selling also took place here. Port receipts estimated at 5000, against 22, 900 last year. Cables unsettled at 6a2o net loss. Yarns in Manchester were irregular and cloths easier. Cooler weather was indicated for the Southwest

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The cotton market Uno three-fourths active yesterdays: <11eu came to 75o GOO bales The general ten- 001cy of prices upward, although several 1G11nkxhts were made by the bear party to fur &1r undermine the holdings of the leading Gnxn.

The fuctuations in prices were almost entirely an nzEnlr of speculation. News was scarce and Of nn indifferent quality The bull contingent circulated reports of boil weevi damage in Tenn and claimed that an unusually large ohort interest had been accumulated on the Infs decline. This led to covering on the part of the local talent supplemented by renewed investment demand. 1t also being openly as nsrted that the leading long interest remained in tact and that 1t would continue to do so un the claim that the movernen must fall snort of spfners' requirements for some time to come; that the effect of the decline has resulted in . better buying basis with receipts of cotton adding too slowly to the volume of the move xnenf in view of the uncertainties of the weather and the possibility of an early frost
