EXCITEMENT WIS
 MUCH IN EVIDENCE Cotton Market Ruled Weak
 Nearly All the Session SOUTH SELLING FREELY In the Afternoon the Continued Sell.
In the Afternoon the Continued Sell. ing Drove Market to Net Loss of About 40 Points on
 Active Months.

New York, August 31.-There was con- tinued activity and excitement in the cot ton market which ruled weak nearly all the session under heavy liquidation and southern selling. The opening was weak at a decline of to IS points in response to cables that were considered little disap- pointing. The weather also was good and a prominent wire house issued crop re- port showing a deterioration for the month of only about 71a per cent while many in the trade had been expecting a government report on Friday of under 80 per cent.
 This report encouraged active southern selling, and while at first there was an excellent demand from local professionals the market gradually yielded. Fluctua- tions were very irregular during the morning, and the market after its initial break, further rallied to about or a little above the opening figures, particularly just after the disappointing estimate for tomorfow's receipts at Houston was post ed, showing only about 52OO to 57OO bales expected.
 In the afternoon, however, the demand seemed to be smaller and continued selling by the south, scattering longs and New Orleans drove the market to a net loss of about 40 points on the active months. Just before the close room shorts covering rallied the mari ct a few points, and the official tone was steady at noted decline of 30 to 36 points. Sales were estimated at GOo,000 bales. Considering the rapidity and violence Of the recent advance the market absorbed the heavy offerings very well, but speculative sentiment showed every indication of being greatly unsettled.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today were 1S,o90 bales against 40S4 last week and 576 last year. For the week 75OO0 against 32,539 last week and b55l4 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 29S2 against S9 last year, and at Hous- ton 5e94 against 557 last year.

MOVEMENTS WERE
 VERY IRREGULAR Business in Stocks Was in a
 Light Volume WAR NEWS A BIG FACTOR
Wheat Situation Was Again Watched With Unusual Interest and Unset tied Condition of Cotton Market
 Reviewed With Disfavor.

New York, August 31.-The stock mar ket today wore the usual anti-holiday aspects Price movements were rather irregular and business was in light vol ume Those traders who were really bearish seemed inclined to reduce their Commitments for variety of reasons These included the heaviness of interna- tionals in London where operations dwin- dled to nominal proportions, pending defi- nite news of the great conflict in the far east. The reactionary tendency of Mis- souri Pacific, Missouri, Kansas and Tex as, Atchison and Colorado Southern prop critics whose earnings are likely to be aversely affected by any serious damage to the corn crop also helped to check the upward course of the list.
 In some quarters, however, the weak ness of Missouri Pacific and other Gould stocks as well as Colorado Southern was attributed to more important reasons. The wheat situation was again watched with unusual interest and the unsettled condition of the cotton market was re- viewed with dsfavor. Nevertheless,

Erie and St. Paul at improved prices, the first named ad- vancing on a relative heavy volume of trading to a new high record. The Metro politan issues recovered in large measure from yesterdays weakness. The United -t.1 l Copper led the industrial group, London being again a reported purchaser of steel preferred.
 Aside from tho increased strength of Reading and several other active eoalers, indicision marked the course of the mar ket all through the early session. Erie common continued one of the few promi- nent features, several large blocks chang ing hands at further fractional advances, while Reading lost all It's early advance on realizing sales. There was no news to account for the very sharp gains and heavy buying of Consolidated Tobacco bonds and the stocks of affiliated com panies. The movement bore evidence of manipulation though 1t was reported a plan Is being devised to re-adjust the cap italization of the consolidated company
 No explanation was vouchsafed for the point gain In Chicago Union Traction preferred, but the abrupt break in Chicago Terminal transfer issues probably result ed from the very financial statement re- gently issued. The preferred stock fell to a new low record. The list became more unsettled in the late trading many of the active issues touching lowest prices of the day. Erie was among the few notable exceptions, holding comparatively steady in spite of material recessions elsewhere.
 The weakness became more pronounced at the close and great majority of the active issues made net losses. United States Steel preferred, which rivalled Reading and Erie in activity made l point Eain Trading for London account aggre-

cothran 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

The market eased off today on profit
 taking and bear hammering. great
 many who were short sold to break the
 market and get in their cotton.
 As the local market ran up very rapid
 ly yesterday a setback was quite to be
 expected. After selling at 1.15 prices
 worked back to 10.75, break of 40 points.
 The previous decline amounted to 40
 points from 1O.91 back to 10.50. If the
 market Is sound the present decline should not go as low as 10.50. For this reason the play would ap-
 pear to be to buy on any break from lOMc, on the theory that the decline will
 not go much further before the monthly
 report on Friday.
 Fluctuations are likely to be exciting and little cratic. The bad weather in
 Texas will soon become prominent again, and this may end in another rush to cover.
 The market Is in a position that we don't want to be short at the moment.
 There Is no pressure of cotton yet and shorts are nervous when prices rush up. But it's a nervous market. and one to be watched carefully.
 Wheat-There was a strong opening on rains in the northwest, but foreign mar kets were lower, selling appeared in Sep tember which weakened the later months, but buying orders appeared in December and May, largely from the northwest that started shorts to covering, but ad- vances did not hold. considerable apathy being manifested over crop damage re- ports. while outside buying orders were scarce and the trade largely professional, local sentiment being more or less bear ish. There was selling of December by Armour on the advance and the support
 at no time could be considered as good
 with prices giving way rapidly under of- ferings from some of the larger traders.
 We look for a scalping market and think
 the news will have to be very bullish to
 maintain present levels, and in the event of further advances we would favor sales

New York Cotton Futures.
New orle.ns Cotton Market.

New Orleans, August S1.-Spot cotton In good demand and somewhat better sup ply; sales, 800 bales, including 50 to ar rive. Quotations reduced 3-16c.
 Futures opened barely steady at a de- cline of 21 points. Liverpool was IS English points higher than yesterday, but the focal market failed to respond. Cables from Liverpool said that the ad- vance had been too rapid and that heavy buying orders from America had sustain ed prices. The lower local market was mainly due to profit taking by satisfied longs No new features developed. All though the news from the belt continued unfavorable, it failed to arrest the down. ward trend of prices Profit taking from certain quarters became more pronounced as the session progressed, but 1t was offset by fresh buying by longs. To- wards noon a considerable number of buying orders was received from the country on crop deterioration and also on the expectation of a bullish bureau report Friday. The bulls are of the opinion that this report will cause wide advances. In the trading September opened 15 points lower at 10.91, advanced to 10.9s and finally sold down to 10. 62; December opened at 0.75, sold up to 10 S6 and declined to 10.61. The market closed weak and within point or two of the lowest prices or the day. Net losses, September A points and the other posi- tions 33 to 37 points.
