SHARP ADVANCE
IN COTTON MARKET
Early Trading Was Marrow and
Irregular
BULLS WERE SUPPORTERS
General List Shortly Before Close
Showed Net Gains of IA to %
Points-sales Were
$4,000 Bales.
BULLS WERE SUPPORTERS

New York, September 2o.-After early
narrowness and irregularity the cotton
market became much more active and
advanced sharply on strong bull sup
port covering. The opening was steady
at an advance 3dS points In response
to better cables than expected, but the
market soon reacted to about the closing
figures of the previous night and during
the balance of the morning ruled very
irregular. The bureau report proved
about a stand-off and had no apparent
effect on prices.
Later In the session there was active
buying by brokers with important Liver
pool connections. 1t seemed that the
room was caught short and the covering
which followed resulted In greatly in
creased activity and caused considerable
excitement AS prices worked up, it al
most looked as though two professional
cliques were working against each other
with the long end resting with a house
with Liverpool and German connections,
while Wall street appeared to be fighting
the advance.
The general list shortly before the close
showed net gains of 14023 points, and the
close was very steady at net advance
of 1909 points. Sales were estimated
at $4,000 bales The smaller estimates
for tomorrows receipts at leading points
may have encouraged the advance, and
there was also some apprehension lest
the cold weather in the west would work
down into the belt.
Receipts of cotton at the ports today
were 1886 bales against 1886 last week
and 41,40S last year. For the week 100000
against 1S6,705 last week, and 1920 last
year. Today's receipts at New Orleans
12,445 bales against 5374 last year and at
Houston 81, 40 bales against 52,365 last
year.

FIGURES ON CORN
CAUSED BIG SCARE
Takes Big lump Which is Lost
During the Day
CORN CARRIERS STRONG
Weather Reports show Dangerously
Low Temperatures In Northwest
and Forecasts Of Frosts
for Today.


New York, Septer.be 20.-Expert crop
estimate of 1900. 100000 bushels of corn
which was given to the public yesterday
caused momentary jump in the corn
market which was more than lost before
the day was over. while the correspond
ing decline in stocks was partly retrieved.
But that estimate was reinforced today
by the expressed credence of President
Hill of the Great Northern railroad, and
was thus given renewed influence on
stocks. The consequence was decline in
prices which affected not only the corr
carrying roads. but the stock carriers
the grangers. Pacihcs, coalers. trunk
lines and in fact every department of the
railroad list.
The scare over the corn crop probably
had a large share also in the weakness
IN the industrial list although there were
special causes also at work In that de-
partment. The estimates of the crop
based on conditions past, were given
added force by the weather reports show
ing dangerously low temperatures in the
northwest, and forecasts of frosts for
tomorrow over a wide area in the west
and northwest.
The weekly crop bulletin of the wealth
er bureau was somewhat ambiguous and
obscure in its expression, but offered
little to cheer the apprehensive over eth
er the corn or the cotton crop. The de-
termined optimism with which a large
speculative element has accepted every
suggestion of crop damage for some time
past, was thus rather severely tried. The
fall in prices which resulted from the
first tide of the selling also disclosed the
existence of stop-loss orders placed be-
low the market by holders anxious to
limit their losses.
Another source of uneasiness seemed to
be the announced cut in steel billets and
after the stock market closed yesterday,
although this action had been clearly
foreseen and accurately rortold for many
days past.
In fact, some of the recent strength of
the Steel stocks has been based on the
advantages expected to follow this cut
In attracting belated orders and fixing
the stability of the market Evidence Of
Intended competition with the United
States Steel in some finished lines was
also an influence on that group. Anal
gated copper offered some temporary re-
distance to the decline due to an adj
vance in grades of copper, but ultimately
yielded.
A more effective resistance was offered
by Union Pacific which was 11s over last
night at one time late in the day. 1t
was argued that Union Pacific's corn
territory was comparatively safe from
frost damage The movement may also
have been intended as a reinsurance to
some current rumors regarding the health
of the head of the system. 1t could not
be learned that there was an actual call
Ing of loans on the stock exchange, but
the tone of the money market plainly

the unfavorable outlook. Texas offered
the somewhat alluring condition of a sec

district outside of the weevil infected
portions of the state.
As we have said before. ideas of the
size of the crop must be modified on &C

favor sales on bulges.

Loveman q Co.'s Market Letter.

New York, September 20.-Large re-
ceipts everywhere more at ports than two
years ago, fully as much at interior
towns, a weely weather report not as
bad as expected, favorable weather for
picking were a combination that under
ordinary circumstances should have sent
prices rs to SO points lower. Instead of
drop we find an advance of 20 points and
decentralization in the ranks of the bears.
1t is impossible for them to understand
why the success of their predictions re-
garding the movement should not be ac-
companied by equal success In their pre-
dictions of a big drop in prices. The
trade is daily being made to realize more
and more the unusual proposition that
present. crop has been sold ahead and
that sellers who have shipping engage
ments are obliged to get the cotton with
In their time limits regardless of their
own views of what the price should be-
September shipments must be made In
September. and II the price In September
happens to be 1914 cents or over instead
of 9h cents or lower as they expected,
exporters must pay the market price or
default on their contracts. On the big
decline which terminated September ~,
when October touches 10c and December
10 .02c the long interest was completely
eliminated and the near approach of a
heavy new crop movement prevented the
creation of any considerable new ac-
count on that side.
