THE STOCK MARKET

Nv York. Sept ls.-The speculative ele- ment in the stock market today was in two minds stiii about the proper action to take The market gave some signs of the exer- else of benevolent control. which deterred protessionatbears from attacking prices with the same unreserve that they showed to- wards the latter part of last week. On the other hand when the support for the market had achieved its purpose of check ing the aggressive operations of the bears which offered no ouragement to pursue operations on the long side of the market.
 The bears after selling stocks to a lower level after the opening turned around and bought again to cover shorts, inducing the brisk rally. After that the market drop ped into a condition of apathy and the vol- ume of dealings fell to insignificant propor- tions News of the day did not supply in- ditions.
 A somewhat calmer view was held es- pecialy in the earlier part of the day, of the copper situation. principally on the ground that conditions there might be so far peculiar to that trade as to detract from it's significance as barometer of more gem eral conditions. The special feature in tho copper situation that commanded most attention was the pressure the producers had been under to postpone a cut in prices to enable manufacturers to work off stocks purchased at the higher levels. with con- tracts for finished products made on that basis. The maintenance of this price level is given part responsibility for the dimin- shed demand for products which has para lyzed the copper market and leaves hope open that demand will revive when prices are readiusted to the new level of copper through the finished branches of the trade. further reduction in the price of metal. both in London aud at the local exchanges overcame the most of this better feeling.
 The United States Steel stocks were un- der pressure again in sympathy with the coppers. the preferred falling to below 90. Railsoad stocks were free from depression by comparison with the weakness of indus trials and showed periods of strength.
 There were some large dividends in course of payment and the call money market was hard in consequence. Incidents of the day were pronounced breaks In both cotton and corn. responding to the formation of more hopeful opinions of the dimensions of these crops.

COTTON DROPS FROM
 SATURDAYS FIGURES

The cotton market in Montgomery was again disappointment yesterday. the feecy staple opening down from saturdays market with a material de- cline The decline continued until about noon.
 Spot cotton has declined more than futures. which decline was generally anticipated by those who were fully conversant with the situation and the absence of parity between the future quotations of the great markets and the spot markets of the South.
 The cotton crop in this section of the country seems to be behind from two to three weeks. and receipts are cores pondingly light.
 Spot cotton was selling on the streets yesterday from Il 1-2 cents down to II 1-4 cents.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES.
CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRoDUcE.

Chicago. Sept. 1s.-wet weather and low temperature in the Canadian Northwest caused advance today of more than 1c in the price of wheat on the local exchange At the close the December delivery showed 6 net gain of A O &c. Corn was down &c. Oats were x @ Ac lower. Provisions were unchanged to 5c higher.
 The wheat market was strong all day. At the opening the demand was active and general but later trade dwindled to small proportions. The chief reason for the strength was unfavorable weather in the Canadian Northwest, where the harvesting has been delayed and the outstanding crops injured by rain and snow. The market was also bullishly affected by weekly statistics. showed a decrease of 1,416.0 900 bushels for the week, and worlds shipments were only s,oSO,o00 bushels. against 10.352.000 bushels for the same week last year. The visible supply decreased 1,547,000 bushels, against increase of 1.029.00O bushels last year. The market closed strong.
 December opened # @ Ac to # @ %c high CT at 9s& to 9Sc, advanced to 9S%c and closed at 9sc.
 Primary receipts were not available. Min neapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported re- ceipts of 773 cars against 5o1 cars last week and 66S cars year ago.
 The corn market was extremely weak be- cause Of ideal weather for the maturing of the new crop. The market was steadier during the last half of the session, be- cause of the strength of wheat. The close was weak.
 December opened Sc to 1Ac lower at 55Bc to 5eMc. advanced to 56%c and clos ed at 6S%c.
 Because of congestion in the September delivery there was little incentive to trade in oats and the volume of business was small. The sharp break in corn had a depressing effect on the market, sentiment being bearish all day.
 December opened Sc lower at 51%c, sold at 51%c and then declined to 51 hc. The close was at 51h @Ac.
 Provisions were firm because of the good demand for the cash products. Local pack CTS were the chief buyers. At the close Jan uary pork was up Sc at $15.50. Lard was a shade higher at SS.65. Ribs were un- changed at $S. %.
 Estimated receipts for Wednesday: Wheat 36S cars; corn 75s cars; oats 46e cars; hogs 10000 head.
 There will be no market tomorrow. 1t be- ing election day.

 New Orleans, Sept. 16.-All markets were unfavorably affected by the weakness that ket New Orleans. after the close of New York and Liverpool Saturday. The weakness today was. more pronounced than at the close of last week. further liquida- tion having taken place in all markets. spots suffering to the same extent We have repeatedly called attention to the fact that the New Orleans market has been de- prived of speculative support from many of the Southern States notably Texas and that spot holders were at the mercy of Wall Street operators and the Liverpool market as a result of the enacting of anti-option laws in many states of the South. We have had a decline during the past two weeks of over sS per bale, which, on a crop of 12, 900, 900, represents a loss to the farmers of about S100, 900. 900. We have con tended all along that the Texas crop of this year would fall short of last years produc- tion by about 10000 to 1,500,0O0 bales.
 According to The Galveston Daily News. returns published today 179 counties and districts reporting for the two Territories and Texas, and average date of Septem- ber 10th, the indicated yield for Texas, proper.

Therefore the figures of The Galveston Dallas News. point to a crop this year from Texas and Indian Territory of about S,O0O.- 900 bales, compared with 4,503,0O0 last year.
 The folly of having sanctioned the pas sing of such drastic laws in Texas Is no doubt being realized by farmers. for not withstanding the unfavorable outlook for
