THE STOCK MARKET

 New York, Sept i4--The disordered condition in the metal markets was the dpminating influence again in the stock market and defeated any tendency to- ward improvement prompted by other
 The distinction was marked again be- tween the railroad list and the metal industrials. the former being moderate " affected by the depression on the letter; and . showing some disposition days market was the heavy liauida tion in the United States Steel stocks, both classes falling to new low levels for the year. The common stock seli- ing at 27 l-2 and the preferred at so
 Evidently the speculative assumption was that the conditions that have over eome the copper trade might develop in the iron and steel trade. No news was torthcoming to indicate any fresh changes in the iron and steel trade. Effect was felt from the publication of a report from Pittsburg that the produc- CTS of iron had determined to meet any falling on in demand with curtail- ment of production. Reports that the United States Metal Company. the sell ing agency of the Amalgamated Cop per Company, had cut It's price of elec- troiytic copper to Is 1-2 was an enect- i've factor in the hands of the bear party. The principal product of the AHlAl6AQhte9 AopPSk A0tupapS tS AtR" lake, but electrolytic copper. The copper stocks were not so actively depressed as yesterday. neither Amalgamated Copper nor American Smelling selling at yesterdays low figures. Sentiment continued very Respondent, however. over the copper situation.
 The bank statement did not reflect the expected gain in cash but the changes In the averages of the differ ent items were small in spite of gener- al transactions concluded during the week and confidence was unimpaired of the growing improvement of the money situation. Payment was made today of the $s.000, ,O00 Standard oil dividend dis tribution. The under tone of the mar ket remained weak in spite of some fe- verish rallies in the closing dealings

Chicago Grain and Produce.


 Chicago, Sept, 14-S Cold weather in the Canadian and west caused strength today in the local wheat market, December closing at a net gain of l-z to 5-8. Corn was down 1-2 cats were off Is cents. Provisions were 100 to two cents lower Wheat today re- covered much prevailing loss on buying brought out by the Low temperatures prevailing over the Wheat Fields of Western Canada. The weather bureau tion of the country and this tended to stimulate the buying of wheat here.
 Reports from New York which claim ed that an active export business was being transacted at the Seaboard were additional strengthening influences. The sharp break in corn caused con- siderable profit taking at times but prices held tirm the greater part of the day and the market closed firm. December opened firm. December sold off to 97 3-4 and then advanced to ss 7-s to ss. The close was at ss 3-s to i-2.
 The corn market was extremely weak the entire session because of liberal realizing sales which were based on the favorable weather for the new crop. The market was also bearishly affected by an anticipated material increase in local receipts. The close was weak. December opened unchanged to 1-s cents lower at 98 to 1-2, sold off to 56 1-s and closed at 57 Is.
 Trade in oats was quiet and the mar ket was inclined to be weak owing to the slump in corn. The market closed easy. December opened unchanged at 52 Is, sold between 51 3-s and 52 1-R to IA and closed at 52
 Provisions were dull and weak. The bearish feeling being due to the break in corn prices. At the close of January pork was off 20 cents at 15.4S- Lard was down 10 to i2 l-2 at s.e2 l-2 to g.. Ribs were 10 cents lower at 500
 The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles. Open. High, Low. Close

 New Orleans. Sept. i4.-The market de- Yeloped unexpected weakness today values | suffering loss of about 47 points when compared with yesterdays closing level, and at the low level of the day, II .5S for Octo- Der were 145 points lower, or about s7 2B per bale cheaper than prices ruled about ten days ago. It has been noticed during the past two weeks that while the differ ent cotton associations in the South were advising planters to hold for fifteen cents, farmers in the South Atlgntto States and in Alabama have been eager sellers and have been under selling the Mississinpi val ley by about half cent and were offer ing at cent or more below quotations in Texas. a matter of fact, Savannah quot ed middling yesterday at 12Mc; Mobile at l2hc: while New Orleans quoted the same grade at 13c. Galveston 13hc. |. IL was this that caused uneasineas among spot heldeFs in the valley and in the Southwest. and made hedging almost imperative on the part of Texas spot holders.
 It will be recalled that during the re- cent sitting of the Texas Legislature, spec ulation in cotton futures was made e crime. which action has deprived the market ef such necessary speculative support but hedging fo actual cotton permitted.
 Last year Texas proper raised about 4,- 20a,000 bales of cotton. This year, it ia said the state will do well to make 3,200,- o00. Nevertheless. the fact that such an amount of cotton was to be hedged by the selling of futures. as a matter of protectlen to the buyer, on it's way to the mills Dfae- tically left the contract market without sufficient absorbing power to care for such hedge sales which are finding their way to market
 Tn so far as trade and crop outlook ss concerned, We have no reason to change our views in regard to the probability of much higher prices ultimately Meanwhile opinions appear to be vaiueless since the majority of the Southern States have seen fit through unwise legislation to throw con- trol of the market over to New York and Liverpool. the operators in the former mar ket having been aggressive sellers today, particularly after the close of their own market when such operations were directed to New Orleans with telling effect, stop loss orders having been dislodged by means of forced selling.
 In his annual report of September 1st. Mir. Hester shows consumption of American cotton by the world last season to have been a record breaker by B12, 900 bales IT, 69s, 900 vg 900 season before last, aF- craze weekly consumption having been 244,- eco vs. 234,000. owing to spinner's takings for past season. figuring 1S,06p,000 Ameri- can, against 12,Oss,O0o previous season, the excess over last year in worlds visible and invisible of American is placed at 7s1, 900, but suppose this crop be 1.50o, 900 less than last years.
 Yours very truly,

MARKET FOR COTTON

New York; Sept. 14.--The cotton market opened steady at decline of five to eight points in response to weak cables and IF ports of easier Southern spot markets Pri- yate cables from Liverpool reported hedge selling at that place and there were reports that high grades in Texas were about one cent down from the high price of a week ago Trading here was active at the de- cline, with heavy covering by recent sellers supporting the list during the early session.
 Prices were irregular after the opening decline and during the middle of the morn Ing were about seven points net lower on the active months. The market closed easy with prices net sixteen to twenty points lower.
