MARKETS FOR FUTURES
WEATHER OVER SOUTH OvERSTEPPED
 EXPECTATIONS.
Cotton Opened Firm at a Gain in Full Response to Better Cables Than
 Were Expected.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The cotton mar ket opened firm at gain Of SO 10 points which was In |ul response to better cables than expected. The weather over the South was really better than looked for but there was comparatively little kcotton for sale, ex- cept as smaller longs took profits ana prices continued to work upwards after the call completed. There were two or puit of profit taking on the advance which amounted to very nearly cent pound from the low point of last week.
 . The big exports reported late in the day aided the bulls in advancing prices and the high point was reached in the afternoon trading. when September sold at II. %. oc- tober at To- s5 December at 10. s4, January at 10. 96 and March at Il 05, 25 to 31 points net higher. Just before the close profit taking and selling by bearishly dis ton and the market was finally barely steady at a net gain of 17@27 points Sales were estimated at 6oo.ooo bales.
 The estimates for tomorrow's receipts at leading points were liberal but were fully offset by the large exports, which reached about 75.sss bales for the day. bringing the total for the season so far up to 340.515 bales, against only 113370 bales for the same period a year ago. making 1t appear that foreign spinners. are absorbing the little likelihood that there will be any actual pressure of cotton the markets for some time at any rate. Another factor in the advance the steadiness of the late cables from Liverpool and the flrmness of the Southern market.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today. 43,- 4I5 bales against 2S.03: last week and 3D. e93 last year. For the week 275.000 bales against 1ss.705 last week and 199,21o last year. Todays rt ceipts at New Orleans G. Houston l1,14s bales. against 12,650 last year.

VIRGIN FAUNCE'S COTTON LETTER.
 (By Private Wire from J. Walter Labaree

NEW YORK, Sept 2I.-The estimates made by some of the most prominent cotton operators of a crop of less than II, GOO. 900 bales and whose figures were scoffed at when first Tissued. may prove to be nearer the actual cotton figures than had been ticipated. The Government report yester day showed that the private reports of dam age to the crop were not exaggerated. On the other hand the crop has deteriorated badly since the last monthly report was published and 1t is evident if this continues the crop will be reduced many thousand bales between now and the completion of harvest times. Then again the growing de- mand for all classes of cotton goods has forced spinners Into the market as heavy buyers. and this has also aided in uphold ing prices and given the stimulating tone to the market noticeable during the last few days We consider cotton a purchase at present prices and on all reactions for the present anyway

CHICAGo CHAIN AND PRoyIsIoNs.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2l.-The grain markets were weak today the result of favorable weather. December wheat closed + lower and May off a4 q 7sc; corn is 1c below yes terday's closing; oats down l4c. and pro- visions 5ql7hc lower.
 Easy cables, with weather favorable for the maturing of the corn crop had weak ening influenc" on wheat at the opening. opened x a sc lower at 1. i.oSs@1.0S7s' and May hq 4sc to X e lc lower at 1.1Oh q 1. Ill. The market received little support Der to os13 and May to 1.1Oas. Sentiment temporarily turned bullish later In the day under the influence of a cablegram from Paris giving a private estimate on the French crop showing a decrease of 61.O00,- 900. About this time the Paris market showed an advance equal to 12c to 2%c a bushel. The strong front presented by the market here was made pronounced by ad- vices from St. Louis, where increased de mand for flour had developed. The cash situation also source of comfort to the bull element here, prices being up at St Louis from lc to Pc. On the bulge De- cember sold up to 1.1o and May to 1.14h. Later. however. the gain was lost liberal profit taking again forcing prices almost to the lowest The market closed weak with December at l.09 and May at 1.10&. Clearances equaled 22, 500 bushels Primary receipts were 1.O54.6O0 bushels. against 974.- 800 year ago. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported 67S cars. against 469 last week and 7l5 a year ago.
 Reports of small damage to the crop by frost and liberal primary receipts caused weakness in Liquidation was quite general throughout the day. and the buying weak and near the lowest. December opened F a %c to %1%c lower at 50%9 50 %. sold between 50A and 51 and closed at 60A q509s. Receipts. 237 cars, 21 con tract.
 Weakness in other grains had deS&ess- ing effects on oats. December opened s @ kc lower at 32h q32A, ranged between 31 7s and 32 A e 32%. and closed at 3l 7s. Re ceipts. 92 cars.
 Liquidation due to increased hog receipts and the break in grains caused weakness in provisions. Trading was fairly active with an increased outside business, January pork closed down 17hc at IS 10; lard off 5q7hc at 7.3O. and ribs 7hc lower at 6 so G6.S2h.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow Wheat. 164 cars: corn. 395 cars: oats. 1855 cars; hogs s3.o0o head.

COTTON.
Theodore H. Price Advises Against Follow luu Gul

ing Suuy.
 NEW YORK. Sept. 21.-The advance of the past few days in the cotton market Is due to buying on behalf of Mir. Sully, and to the Eratuitous distribution throughout the South of telckrams from him advising others to buy. Mir Suly's ill-advised specu- lation of last year brought disaster not only to himself. but resulted in the demoraliza- ton of the worlds spinning trade and heavy losses to many who followed him. He attempted precisely the same thing early last season. advancing October contracts by his purchases to 10.5 52 on the 1st of Sep tember, only. to see them sell at s.01 on the 9th of October. I anticipate that approx imately the same result will signalize his operations this yeaA and l confidentially advise spinners to delay buying until the next monthly Government crop report shall have given us clearer idea of the crop. My own advices do not indicate anything more than the average crop deterioration during the past thirty days. which, taken in conjunction with the last Government report would indicate approximately the best Octoi CT condition on record. and a crop abundantly equal to. If not in excess of the worlds requirements.

NEW CHURCH IN PHILIPPINES,
Bitterness Develops Between Followers
of Different Creeds.

Capt D. C. Shanks, governor OF the prov
ince of Cavite, in the Philippine Islands, in
his annual report to the War Department,
dated October Is, 1903, says:
''The new Aglipay movement has made
censidera BILE headway in the province, and
the development of this new church party
has brought with 1t a certain bitterness OF
feeling between the adherents of the new
church and those of the Roman Catholic
faith. This feeling has shown itself in the
management of municipal affairs, when the
majority of the municipal council. actuated
by religious differences has sought 10 inn
pose restrictions upon the church of oppo-
site faith.
1.-The municipal president of Bacoor was
suspended for having arrested a number Of
natives who were attending a meeting con-
Quoted by some natives of the Presbyterian
faith"
Governor Shanks says the province, under
normal conditions, is rich and that crops
generally have been good the past year,
but he adds:
Some of the most valuable lands of the
province are in dispute between the peop'e
and the religious orders, and final decis on
will go far toward removing a very veX.ng
question. The province Of Cavite for gen.
erations past has been notorious for the
ladrone bands that have preyed upon its
people. The terrain of the province has
much to do with the difficulty of st imping
out the pest, its numerous juneles ard
ravines make it difficult for troops to move
many of the ladrones have been captured,
and recently the disposition of the people
to aid in their capture has evidenced a
marked Improvement.

LITTLE DEFIANT REPUBLICS.
San Domingo and Haiti Try the Pa.
tience Of Foreign Creditors.

Official advices have reached Washington
from Santo Domingo and Port au- Prince
showing a distressing condition of affairs
in San Domingo and Haiti. BUSINESS is de-
clared to be almost at a staHdstill in both
countries, and foreigners have well nigh
exhausted their patience In endeavoring to
maintain friendly relations with the ma
tives.
With the defiant declaration that San
Domingo has "a great and spod friend in
the United States, according 20 the report
from the Dominican capital, the officials at
Santo Domingo refuse to show the slight
est concern when pushed by foreigners for
the payment of their debts.
In Haiti, 1t is declared, similar confidence
in the friendship of the United States is
shown by the authorities who point to the
Venezuelan incident as an indication of
what the United States will do in case
foreign governments attempt to collect
their claims by force. -
