DEMERE d HAMMOND
Sny strength of Interior Spots Raj
lied the Market.

New York. Sept. 15.-Liverpool was
decidedly weak this morning, and re-
manned in that condition throughout
the day. Gables say that the imme-
diate cause of the decline was Amer
lean selling, partly taking out hedges
against cotton bought in the interior
yesterday. but largely bearish pres
sure applied by prominent American
operator. There was a good deal of
interruption to telegrap hic commune
cation with the South early and the
absence Of outside orders to hammer
prices. The result was that the low
est level of the day was reached short
ly after the opening, when prices were
depressed about 10 points under last
nights close. The strength of inte-
rior spot markets. however, caused a
sharp rally. which recovered all the
early loss. although futures had de-
clined 25 points from yesterdays prices.
Spots were selling at interior at prices
then current. Exporters are free buy
ers at full prices; there seems no rea-
son why futures should have declined
Damage from Wednesdays storm was
confined to small places in North and
South Carolinas. and il had no influ-
cnce ON the market. The market is
in the hands of professionals, who are
quick to seize the opportunity to de-
press prices. The market seems to
have had all the reaction that was due,
and to be ready for another upturn.

The local cotton market was very
dull yesterday. with little business of
ferng from either side. This was in
marked contrast with the day before,
when several brokers did the heaviest
business Of the season.
The firm position taken by interior
brokers was largely responsible for the
lack of trading, as they held sturdily
against market prices.
The improved promise of better
weather conditions throughout the
belt induced those Of bearish tendency
to make considerable offerings in the
early hours, but the bulls responded
so promptly that there were but small
results.
Heavy port receipts were offset in
their influence by the reported heavy
exports. In this immediate section con-
ditions for harvesting the crop have
been most favorable. but there has
been much complaint of short labor
to gather the crop. The weather
which has prevailed for the past two
or three days in Georgia has been es-
pecially conducive to the forwardness
of the crop, and warehouse receipts
are heavy.
Tone, prices and sales follow:

WARE q LELAND
Anticipate No Break Until After
Frost Danger Period.

New York Sept. l6.--The one thing
to be CLEANED from the action of the
cotton market this week is that prices
recover ian few hours what it takes
several days TO lose. After a slowly
sagging market that carried prices
close to 10 cents, "A short covering
movement started that lifted the level
above l0h cents In less than five hours.
There seemed TO be no more explana-
ton for the rise than there was for the
decline and sentiment was very much
confused during both movements. The
fact Of the matter seems to be that as
the weight of new cotton Is felt In the
absence OF active speculation prices
slowly decline without breaking 10 any
great extent and with the FIRST move
OF buying there follows "A sharp rise.
During last two days q decline Of about
% points has taken place on the large.
