 New Orleans, Sept. 1.-The selling move ment which originated in New York last week eliminated today after the market had been forced down eight additional points in the absence of outside support October selling as low as 12. 32 vs. IF. 9S, last Thursday. which represent a decline of about 65 points. or $3.25 per bale. The wonder Is that there has been any let up at all in the selling movement since pro- fessionals are aware of the fact that leg lslation fostered by farmers, has deprived the market of the speculative support which usually absorbed offerings of futures to hedge cotton while it is in course of transit to mills and that which is held in stock the world over
 However. it Is probable that shorts realiz- ed and anticipated the buIlish features which surround the market and are rather of values, preferring to await further de- yelopments. They have in mind that the crop Is a late one. except, perhaps. in South ern Georgia. They have heard talk of possible and probable disturbances in the Gulf states in the very near future and have had occasion to hear of predictions for an early winter by prophets of repute.
 It was only yesterday that the weather changed so suddenly to cause a decided fall in the temperature in the northwest ern portion of the belt, which by this morn ing had spread all over the South The Government record of yesterday showed a minimum temperature at Oklahoma City have 1t today that the thermometer regis tered a temperature of 4G as far south as Lampasas, Texas.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE.


 Chicago, Sept. 11.-Wheat prices on the local exchange broke more than two cents a bushel today because of heavy realizing sales. At the close the December delivery was off 2kc Corn was down Ac Oats were up hc. Provisions were unchanged to 2hc higher.
 Sentiment in the wheat pit was extremely bearish all day. The feature of the trad ing was the heavy selling by leading long. Holders of small lines and shorts also sold freely. The absence of frost in the North west and the prediction of continued mild ewather together with the governmen crop report were leading bearish features report of heavy snow in Western Kansas caused a rally about the middle of the day but the market soon weakened and closed nearly at the low point of the day.
 December opened hc to %c lower at sS%c to S91zc. declined to 95hc and closed at 97ss.
 The corn market was weakened by the sharp decline in wheat Reports that ac- ceptances from the country are increasing also acted as a bearish factor The mar ket rallied with wheat but eased off and closed about steady.
 December opened shade lower to 6 shade higher at 59% to 59Ac, sold between 5s and 59%c and closed at 50% @ 1hc. Local receipts 326 cars, 12s of which were contract grade.

MARKET FOR COTTON


 New York. Sept. 1.-The cotton market was more or less nervous and unsteady to- day, owing in part to the uncertain action of the revision committee after the close tonight The close was steady at an ad- vance of II points on September, of three poins on October and one point lower to one point higher later months Sales were estimated at 30O,0 900 bales.
 The opening was steady at an advance or two points on near months which were in fiuenced by moderate bull support, to de- cline of four points in the later positions as a result of lower cables and good weather over the south.
 After the opening prices worked up to a net advance of four to six points on an active demand from some of the recent heavy sellers But at the advance there was selling by spot people and the South and the market eased off to decline or three to six points with the active months selling about even with the low level of yesterday. There was renewal of covering at this level and at one time in the afternoon prices ewre eight to fifteen points net higher, September being relatively firm. The close was off from the best under realizing.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Sept i1.-The sentiment of speculators so far as it could be read in the action of the stock market was in a state of Aux today. The tide of the price move- ment shifted constantly in response to con- flictins influences first on one side and then on the other.
 ' The weakness of the copper stocks made a distinct line of cleavage through the mar ket as 1t did yesterday. but this weakness was later fin asserting its sentimental effect on the general list and that effect was not so marked as yesterday. Prices of the met al went lower. both in London and at the New York metal exchange and this was the dominant factor in the copper industrials.
 The general market was inclined to resist this influence and at times did so success fully. The movement was still called largely professional and shorts left uncov- cred after ysterday's declines were given credit for much of the buying. The New effect on opinion today than was the case with the imperfect knowledge of the details of the transactions in possession of the mar ket yesterday. More weight was given to the over-subscription five times and to the large number of nearly one thousand bid- ders and less to the low price. so considered for the average bids.
 Call money showed a relaxing tendency after the strain of preparation for the bond sale and for the Union Pacific convertible subscriptions. As applications for the New York bonds to a total of over s20, 0e0,- 900 there were naturally some resources Tor which preparation. was found unnecessary and which were thus released. The many fluctuations during the day left inconsidera- ble net changes after all, the closing being firm at rally.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par val ue $960000.

NAVAL STORES REVIEW.

Savannah, Sept. 11.-(Special. )-The paof week in the local naval stores markets was practically repetition of that preceding excepting that quotations a matter of course were lower by material margin; but general conditions were the same, the trade becoming more and more uneasy with the continued easing off tendency, and at this time the actual values received for the article are lower than has been the case in recent years.
 The week was opened with turpentine rul- ing firm at 5sAc. The close yesterday was firm at 5O5kc, or a net loss of fully three cents per gallon. This is equivalent to s1. 50 per cask. The general undertone of the market even at the lowest which was quoted yesterday was very weak and indica- tions were that further declines would be recorded.
 One of the most noticeable features of the market in the past week was the actual indifference of the exporting element. With possibly one or two exceptions the buyers for foreign requirements were apparently dfsinterested, and even those few remain ing actually in the market were bearing the article with might and main. It is stat ed on excellent authority that there are now over fifteen thousand barrels afloat for Europe and this will be more than ample to meet all immediate demands hence the indifference of buyers.
 The domestic demand is also showing up poorly, due to the reasons touched on last week, and were 1t not for the fact that the receipts were in lesser volume the actual stock at the port would have shown more decided increase.
 The receipts Tuesday were 1,1ee casks; week 5,22S; month 6,125; season 115, ,492.
 The exports: Tuesday a92: week 5,372; month 7,441; season 94, 606. Sales total 4.141. Foreign 5000. Stock 27,345.
 In rosins the general trend was down ward and while there were some few spas modic gains, quotations as a rule were low CT than those of the Tuesday preceding. At the call yesterday the following prices were quoted: Water white $e.3O; window glass $6. 15; N SC. 60; M S5. 60: K $5. 40: I $4. 90; H $4.sO0so; G $4.75@so; F $4.7097kA; E $4.50@55; D $4.15; CBA s4. 10.
 The receipts: Tuesday 4.015; week 16.436; month 20,303; season 319,7S6
 The exports: Tuesday 1.0s6; week 15, ,4Se; ; month ls.651; season 2s4,9s2. Foreign e,76o; Sales total 1e,426. Stock 77,2e0.

cotton belt except in North Texas at so ear ly a date as October 10th. Nevertheless no such low temperatures as was experienced yesterday and today in the cotton belt
 ef IT appearances last year until Sep tember 30th, about 20 days later than this year..
 Therefore the chances are favorable for cold weather at an early date this year. and if the same is realized. it will be com fortable to be on the long side of the mar ket. even though speculation be not as broad as 1t should be.
 The wise acres figuring on decreas- ed consumption this season. British Board of returns for August indicate to the contra ry, exports for the month 21,S00,000 pounds of yarn against 17.s00. 900 same month last year. They have way of their own in figuring on crop in excess of 12.50O, 900 bales even though prospects west of the Mis- sissippi are for yield of about 1,500.000 less than one year ago. and it may be that the valley and the Atlantics will fall short of 1906.

WEATHER CONDITIONS AND CENTRAL
 EnRECAET

Scattered rains have fallen in the cotton belt, the rainfall being heavy to excessive in some of the middle and northern counties of Alabama. and rain is now falling from Georgia northward to the Lake region under the influence of area of low barometer moving eastward across the great lakes. Fair weather prevails this morning over the middle and western cotton districts, un- der the influence of an area of high barom- eter central over Mississippi which has caused somewhat cooler weather in all mid dle cotton states and in the Ohio valley. Another area of high over the north slope of the Rocky Mountains Is giving generally fair weather in middle western and western districts. though another low barometer area covers the north Pacific coast region.
 Conditions now indicate fair weather for this section tonight and Thursday.

COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fall on Coffee.

A resident Of a great western state
puts the case regarding stimulants
with a comprehensive breyity that rs
admirable. He says:
Il am sc years old and have had con
siderable experience with stimulants.
They are all alike-a mortgage on re-
served energy at ruinous interest. AS
the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, so do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way. | gave up coffee and all
other stimulants and began the use OF
Postum Food coffee some months ago.
The beneficial results have been APP
parent from the first. The rheumatism
that | used 10 suffer from has left me.

Ter and my brain clearer. And ! bear
testimony also 10 the food value az
