LAST HALF WAS ACTIVE

New York, September 1s.-It was a quiet
day in the cotton market with cotton
fluctuations showing irregularity. but
with generally steady undertone.
The market opened steady at unchanged
prices to an advance Of points of a
little better than due on the cables
which reached an advance of only point
~ favorable but the trade evidently
feared bullish bureau report tomor-
row and following the call prices adj
vanced to a net gain of about or 6
points. There was selling by prominent
floor brokers on the advance, however,
and when the estimates for receipts at
tomorrow's leading points came In and 1t
was found that the days port receipts
would greatly exceed estimates, the mar
ket sold Off to a net loss of about to
3 points. From this level 1t recovered to
about the closing prices of Saturday,
and during the middle session ruled very
quiet 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 was more
active than at any previous time dur
ing the day.
1t closed very steady with September
IA and other months to points higher.
Sales were estimated at 10000 bales.
Exports for the day were fair, but well
behind port receipts and stocks at all
United States ports are slowly accu-
mulating, being now about ZIG bales
against $3.50 last year. The estimates
for tomorrow's leading points are full.
particularly for Galveston. the trade ex-
pecting total port receipts tomorrow Of
between $500 and 10000 bales.
Owing to private reports of crop de-
terioration and the idea that 1t was too
wet and cold In the western belt dur
ing the past week, bullish weekly re-
port Is expected at noon tomorrow and
part OF the covering today was undoubt-
eddy based on this contingency.

The cotton market opened quiet and
steady, with prices slightly advanced over
Saturdays closing
The Liverpool market was steady and
this caused some covering which advanced
prices to points above the opening fig
ures, but here the offerings became freer
and renewed selling by room shorts
caused a reaction to below the opening
prices. Trading was uninteresting and
business wholly professional.
The weekly crop report tomorrow is ex-
pected to show the crop as progressing
satisfactory with the exception of a few
localities, which have been damaged by
the reins and unreasonable Temperatures,
and also by the ravages of the boil weeyil.
The interior movement has been large.
but has been well taken by spinners. who
nave been instrumental In sustaining
prices to a certain extent.
The market is a good scaiping one. and
will continue to be SO until some defin-
tie news regarding the outcome of the
crop is received to affect the market IA
vorably or unfavorably.

LIFE AND PROPERTY
FLOODS IN THE SOUTH.
WEST.

Dallas, Tex, Oct. 5.--The floods in
Oklahoma, Indian Territory, the Pan
handle of Texas and New Mexico,
have been terribly destructive, es-
pecially to railroad properties and to
human life. Reports received today
in Dallas show that not less than a
dozen bridges have been swept away
and miles Of track washed out in the
TERRITORY mentioned. The loss of life
is estimated at rot less than thirty
persons, most of them drowned in the
Pecos and Canadian rivers and their
tributaries.
A bridge at Purcell, Indian Terri
tory, was carrid away today and five
persons swept down the stream with
the ruins of the structure. Railroad
officials estimate that it will require
an outlay OF at least 100000 to re-
pair the properties of the roads in
the flooded districts. The Fort Worth
and Denver, the Rock Island and the
Santa Fe systems are the worst suf-
ferers from the high water Ell Paso
trains via the last two lines are be-
ing detoured from Kansas City via
Dallas and Fort Worth and the Texas
and Pacific. The Rock Island line out
Of Dallas is not opened beyond Chick
asha, Indian Territory. Ne first
train to arrive in Dallas in three days
came in this morning from Chickasha.
1t Is understood that the Rock Island
will operate only one train day be-
tween Dallas and Fort Worth and
Chickasha until after repairs have
been completed, which will not be in
less than ten days.
