COTTON MARKET
 HAS STEADY DAY Operations Were for Most Part
 by Professionals DECLINE IN SEPTEMBER Biz Houston Estimate Checked the Principal Advance of the Day and Later the Market Broke
 Sharply.
DECLINE IN SEPTEMBER

New York, September 12.-The cotton market opened steady at a decline of points on September while other posi- tions were unchanged to points higher This was rather better than due on the cables, and excellent weather reports was added. It was pointed out that prices were about cent down from the top, and with private crop advices of a generally favorable nature, room opera tors, though they saw a chance for turn on the long side, figured that the weekly crop report would be a bullish factor.
 Refecting this line of argument, prices immediately following the call shot up about to 13 points above the closing of Saturday, but the big Houston esti- mate checked the advance, and later the market broke to nearly 10 cents for the active months upon receipt Of the esti- mates for Galveston and New Orleans, which also showed a bull movement.
 It was reported two or three times dur ing the day that lower Wall street bears were covering wherever outside offerings increased, and there were frequent reac- tionary periods which, however, were of short duration. Toward the close the market worked up a few points from the bottom and was finally steady at a net decline of 13 points, to an advance of 2 points.
 Sales were estimated at SO0O0O bales The frost in the northwest had some in- fiuence during the day as tending to make nervous shorts apprehensoive of & cold wave sweeping down into the belt. and toward the close talk of a bullish weekly report tomorrow was revived. The room trade sized up the days operations as mostly professional, and it was be- lieved that the bear leader, while selling actively on any show of firmness, covered on call on all weak spots. There was some selling during the day by spot houses. believed to be hedging purchases of spot cotton.
 Receipts at the ports were full, but exports are running liberal, and so far, for the month are about 125,6O1 bales, against 1s,6SS last year.
 Receipts at the ports today were 26,- 29S bales, against 1S,554 last week, and 157S1 last year. For the week, 175,0O0, aseiiSI Aoi,oso iast Weeh' anu llV'foo last year.

plus for that time of $1S,937,150 has re- suited and loan rates are hardening in consequence. Great confidence is ex- pressed that the fall requirements will be met without causing stringency at New York.
 But the present course of the money market was an influence on todays reac- tion in stock. The cotton carriers were comparatively well held and there was furious buying of Southern railway which made a conspicuous feature. Some of the southwestern also reported good gross earnings for the first week in September. The market closed active and weak, with net losses running from 1 to points and upwards In some prominent cases.

CROP REPORTS ARE FACTOR

New York. September 12-A decisive impression was made on prices on stocks today for the first time in many days by the increasing burden of sales to take profits prompted by the misgivings over the crop and money outlooks. Yet the dominant impression created by the ac- ton of the early market was it's contin- uous evidence of underlying strength and it's great absorbtive powers.
 The number of shares which changed hands had run up to three quarters of a million in the two hours to noon and in that time the market had made sturdy rallies against the inroads in prices and had put forth sustaining points Of strength in September stocks in the way which has become familiar during the long advance. As the day wore on the sustaining points became fewer and also less effective on the sentiment held tow ards the market at large
 Rumor was very busy about the board room with the identity of tho big sellers and fears gained ground that the skill ful speculative leaders had sold out to large extent so that their trained tac- tics for the trading might not be relied on any longer to protect the market and stimulate it's advance. Such reaction IS normal after an extensive rise and it has been watched for by professional traders for many days past.
 The haste to cover shorts at small con sessions and by volume of buying orders slightly below the existing prices kept the early trading today feverish and
 q -1,o Inc n bears that the time for reaction had come The consideration of the govern ment crop report coupled with the weather news from the grain belt de- eided the course of prices downward. Es- inmates of the wheat crop based on the government percentage condition leave little margin for surplus to export, so that the high price will not represent benefit in the increase of export value. The threatened shortage of what mas failed to stimulate any foreign demand for our corn up to this time.
 The value of exports of breadstuffs for August falls to $5,3364 421, compared with s13,O25,713 last year. Reports of frosts last night also gave the grain markets q fright, and though reassuring advices were received from the corn belt, fears are felt for sudden damage to that crop md the uncertainty over 1t tends to keep business dull in the west.
 In the weekly canvas of the traffic . situation by railroad officials is easily discernible a note of dissatisfaction. with the rate of increase of the movement of merchandise westward which is att fributed to corn uncertainties. The grain movement however. continues large. The rate of depletion of the New York bank ing surplus has served to admonish spec uIative borrowers of the other require ments to be met.
