bears. After long weeks of promising re- ceipts at last have taken on the enormous volume predicted. Galveston stafted in with receipts today about double the esti- mate and followed later in the day with forecast of 34.000 to 36.000 bales for to- morrow, Houston and New Orleans also sent extremely large estimates for this sea- son of the year For the first time since 1902 been exceeded Under such circum- stances nothing but big slump could be looked for and there was no lack of sellers to take advantage of the break. On their selling price did actually decline 495 points under Saturdays prices, but to the aston ourselves have all along foseseen such a movement, prices wheeled about and actual ly advanced 12 points in face of the over whelming movement.
 Those who have followed our recent let ters will easily understand the indifference of the market to big receipts at the pres ent time If quarter to half million bales of cotton have been sold for September shipment then quarter to half million bales can come upon the market. in fact must come. without exerting a feathers weight on the level of prices. All this cotton has been bought in advance and 1t is coming to the ports solely to go aboard ship and to disappear out of this country. Surely this is not a bearish situation A few days more like the present of large receipts and stiff markets will complete the discomfiture of the shorts. who are already greatly wor- ried over the outlook It must be remem- predicted as soon as receipts became free and here we have the market selling at nearly 101a cents with strong signs of go- ing higher. It does seem as if all cal culations of big decline are doomed in advance to disappointment. The closing to- night shows q gain over Saturday of [ points. and on this basis Liverpool is due to come higher.

WALL STREET. REVIEW
PRICES FOR STOCKS WENT OFF
 AGAIN.
Continuance of Extreme Ease of Money in London Is Not Expected Clos ing of Market Was
 Dull.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Prces of stocks lost ground again today and there was a decided shrinkase in the volume or ouSi- ness. This was partly attributable to the occurrance of the important Jewish holiday of Tom Kippur, the observance of which kept a large element away from the ses- sion of the Stock Exchange
 The sagging movement of stocks was not precipitate and was made irregularly and with frequent pauses and rallies The ap- pearance of weakness was not acute at the a suggestion of the factor of greatest in fluence sentiment. Tho movement in both markets was not based on immediate news developments nut on the appearance of the estimates of the volume of crop by the experts who have won some following in the course of the recent active specula- tion in wheat and in stocks. These esti- mates were of total ere of less than two billion bushels compared with crop in dicsted by the Governments figures of Sep tember of 2.491,000. 900 bushels.
 Sterling exchange ran off today in re- spcnsc to the firmer money market, but discounts also hardened and gold rose in London, and The Statistican warns the London market that it can not expect con- tinuance of the present extreme ease of money there if New York calls for gold as indicated by the movement of exchange. In terior banks are drawing on New York de posits for meeting obligations to the Gov ernment thus accounting foi the continued large drain of the treasury operations.
 The harvesting period and the crop un- traffic, but officials express confidence in a good fall traffic after the crops are har- vested. Earnings for the second week of the month showed some mixed results. but the Southwesterns reporting today showed good increases over last year. The fact commented upon, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas annual report, like that of the St. Paul last week. shows an increase in ex- penses. is more than accounted for by the higher cost of operation. although expendi- lures for maintenance are somewhat cut down.
 Current opinion the outlook for steel trade revival was not so sanguine as last week. while some veryt hopeful views of the copper trade were heard in connection with the vigorous advance in Amalgamated Cop per. The closing was dull and heavy, but above the lowest.
 The bond market was easy. Total sales. par value s3.425.0 900. United States 3s ad. vanced k per cent on call.

VIRGIN & FAUNCE's COTTON LETTER. tBy Private Wire from J. Walter Labaree

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The cotton mar ket opened quiet and steady with prices slightly advanced over Saturdays closing. The Liverpool market was steady, and this caused some covering, which advanced prices 1q5 points above the opening figures but here the offerings be- came freer and renewed selling by room shorts caused reaction 10 be- low the opening prices. Trading was unin- terestng and business wholly professional. The weekly crop report is expected to show the crop as progressing satisfactorily with the exception of a few localities which have been damaged by the rains and unsatsfac- tory tempe ra lures and also by the ravaRes of the boil weevi The interior movement has been large, but has been well taken by spinners. who have been instrumental in sustaining prices to certain extent The market is good scalping one and will con- tinue to be 50 until some definite news gardng the outcome of the crop is received to affect the market favorably unfa- vorably.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
A QUIET COTTON DAY IN NEW YORK.
September Shorts Covered Near the Close, and Prices Were Active, the
 Close Being Steady and Higher.

NEW YORK. Sept 1s.-It was a quiet day in the cotton market, with fluctuations showing irregularity, but with a generally steady undertone. The market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of points or a little better than due on the cables, which reached an advance of only l point. The weather over the belt was generally favorable, but the trade evidently feared a kulIlsh bureau report tomorrow and following the call prices advanced to net gain of about or points. There was selling by prominent floor brokers on the advance, however. and when the esti- mates for receipts at tomorrow's leading points came in and it was found that the days port recipts would greatly exceed estimates the market sold off to a net loss of about 2@5 points. From this level it recovered to about the closing prices of Saturday and during middle session ruled very quiet and within a few points of that level. Later. however, there was support by local bulls. accompanied by furry of covering by September shorts and the market in the last half hour more active than at any previous time during the day. It closed very steady with September 14 and other months 6d9 points higher.
