OPENING WAS RATHER FIRM

New York. September 19-Cotton was quiet and irregular, losing part of an early gain in the afternoon. and closing steady at a net advance of to ! points. Sales were estimated at l75,Ooo bales. The opening was firm at an advance of to I noints in response to higher cables, and during the forenoon the gain was increased to a matter of to IS points on scattered covering and fresh demand for long account, inspired by rains in various sections of the belt and predic- lions for frosts on the northwest sections if Texas tonight. The weekly crop re- ports of the weather bureau have proved rather less bullish than expected and with the frost expected in the country n little north of actual cotton producing sections. the market in the late trading eased off from the top point under real izing and moderate pressure from local bears.
 Southern spot markets were quiet ard generally unchanged. one point report ing early showing an advance of lite.

the part of Paris bankers. The news of the engagement of S1,750,000 of gold for shipment to New York, also contained in the Paris dispatch, was confirmed in New York. It became known that $400,000 ad- ditional in gold had been secured yester- day afternoon.
 The withdrawals up to this time are all from the London market. As a con sequence a further advance in the Bank of England rate Is expected. This pros pect unsettled the London market The renewal of the crisis regarding affairs in Morocco was another disturbing influence in foreign markets. The heavy volume of selling for foreign account In the stock market here was the immediate consequence, and this played no small part in the weak tone of the market. With the course of prices downward once established, more attention was given to other unfavorable factors. The possibility of mischief growing out of the contest for control of the Wabash was much dis cussed.
 The depression amongst the southwest erns was aggravated by the total dis couragement to the hopes of any early dividend disbursement on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas shares contained in the annual report of the president. Rail- road earnings in that section as now re- ported, compare with the heavy St. Louis expostions earnings of last year, mak- ing the contrast unfavorable. The weekly crop bulletin of the weather bureau also reported some damage to the corn crop. Besides the benefit of additional gold en- agreements. the local money market was relieved from the absorption by the sub treasury, the operations of which have converted the loss of last week by the banks into a small gain.
 Pension payments and purchase Of for eign exchange by the postoffice depart ment are the special items of the in- creased government expenditure. That institution also pair out several hundred thousand dollars today on a transfer from San Francisco. While the immediate conditions of the money market were frightened this way opinion towards the prospect for the next few weeks con tinues decidedly conservative.

SOME RELAXATION IN MONEY MARKET But it Does Not Prevent Weak

 Advance Is Accountable
 for Reaction.
TENDENCY IS STILL LOWER

New York, September 1e.-It has been assumed for some time past that anxiety over the money outlook was the sole re- straining influence against speculative Rdvices in the stocks, the general bright Ress of the industrial situation, serving to cause & chaffng against this restraint pn the part of the professional operators of all classes. The immediate develop ments in the money market early were slightly towards relaxation of tension, but this did not prevent weakness in stocks, the tendency of prices being to- wards the lower level from the outset.
 The technical condition of the market after last weeks considerable advance which moreover was made in the face of admonitory pleading on the part of a large element in Wall street, might be held accountable for the reaction itself
 Sufficient profits had accrued from the rise to induce some selling to take ad- vantage of any strengthening influence which would help the market to absorb the sales. But there were besides some factors of a positive nature against the market. In the sight of the money sit uation, the most discussed development was the expression of opinion on the part of officials of the Bank of France and of Paris bankers contained In a ca ble to the Associated Press last night on the prospects of gold movement to New York It was therein clearly disclosed that the Paris banking world would re- gard a surrender of gold by the Bank of France for shipment to New York with

We had an active market in the early hours and values were somewhat higher than yesterday December selling at 10.40, compared with yesterdays closing at 08. Developments over night favored an advance.

 Locally, spots were in better request at an advance of about 1-16, buyers re- porting American spinners the principal buyers There was but little to do It is probable that the scarcity of offer ings here on account of the small re- ceipts and teamsters strike is responsi- ble for the dulness.

ware e LeIands Market Letter.

The market today was a fac-simile of yesterdays. The only difference was that prices were a little higher. Other wise there was no change. On the ad- vance to 1050 for December cotton was for sale, and the price seemed high enough to attract good selling.
 Then, too, those who bought yesterday. realizing the narrow character of the market. decided to take profits on the rise This left the market without much buying power, larger professionals con, tinuing to bear the distant months. There was cotton for sale in large blocks at times, as operators tried to get the mar ket down. But with all the selling there WAS a steady undertone and the market did not give way
