MARKETS FOR FUTURES
ACTIVE AND EXCITING DAY IN COTTON
 MARKET.
Orders Were Well Divided and Irregular Market Held Steady, hut Finally Yielded to Increasing
 Bear Pressure,

NEW YORK. Sept 22.--It was an active and exciting day in the cotton market. with sentiment greatly unsettled. Orders at first were we'll divided and the market, while irregular, held pretty steady but finally yielded to increasing bear pressure and closed the day barely steady at a fair net loss.
 The opening was weak at a decline of 6013 points in response to lower cables than looked for. Trading was active and the feeling around the ring very nervous owing to the reports that two of the most important speculative figures in the mar ket were opposing each other. The trade consequently expected to a struggle be- tween these two interests at the opening this morning There heavy selling and very active buying. Prices mediately fol- lowing ths opening were forced back to last nights. but meeting with heavy liquidation at the advance and continued bear pressure eased off again 10 about the opening figures when brokers believed to represent the bull leader agail entered the ring and during the middle session the market ruled very firm. advancing to a net gain of about { a points. But in the late trading Wall Street became a much more aggressive seli- CT and with demands pretty we'll filled the market developed a sagging tendency that was gradually accelerated as room longs sold out. until at the close prices showed a net decline cf from IT to 20 points The sales were estimated at 50o,0o0 bales.
