H. 6 B. BEER COTTON LETTER.
By Private Wire to c. G. Abercromble
 Co.,, S2 Commerce St.

By Private Wire to c. G. AbercrOufble &
 Co.,, S2 Commerce St.
 New Orleans, Sept. 20.-Today's market was another illustration of it's helplessness for want of speculative support. made i'm possible by the enacting of radical. unwise legislation in all but three of the cotton states. and ip the remaining free states, the question of tieing up the cotton busi- ness is being agitated by political leaders, who have no more interest in the welfare of the South than that which they may find in the offices they aspire to. and 10 that end have inserted blanks. which have already proven unsafe by course of market hardly before the opening of the new sea- son An effort is being made to have the farmer believe that the recent decline ip cotton, which was due to foreign markets and Wall Street operators taking advantage of the restriction of speculation in the Southern states and which has cost the South about $1Oo, 100000 already, or about one-seventh the values of last years crop, was according to the argument of bulls, due to the suppression of bucket shops Such Is not the case. Any well informed man knows that the business of the bucket shop was never transacted on the floor of the exchange. Such orders. which were for account of the public, and therefore usually to buy, never left such establishments, and for this reason such concerns should be suppressed because of their having deprived the market of such support as it was entitled to had business been filed with le- gitimate brokers, be they local or interior wire correspondents. The trouble Is due to inland private wire houses having been confounded with those of the bucket shop and for failing to make any distinction be- tween the legitimate broker, member of the New Orleans Exchange and that of the bucket shop operator who is denied admis- sion to the leading exchanges of the coun- try.
 As matter stands the market is without sufficient support, and although prices may eventually soar because of the shortness of the crop, those who market their cotton early will have been deprived of the prob able advance because of restricted specula- tion being unable to discount small crop conditions until the cotton is out of the farmers hands and weight of movement is off the market.
 The beneficial effect of speculation in every commodity should be well understood. 1t is based on the mental view and devel ops traffic for profit. Take. if you will, the seed of the staple. in which there is no speculation and you will find that the average price per ton in the valley last year was about $14. the combine of mill crushers having dictated the price to the farmer.
 It was not SO with it's by-product, cotton seed oil. in which there is speculation, as oil futures advanced from 32 cents at open ing of last season until they touched about 62c per gallon. Refined oil advanced from 31c to 56c in the local market. The seed crushers combine crushed both seed and farmer.
 Yours very truly,

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Sept 2o-The stock market
 became very quiet today. Reports rom stocks which had been borrowed for de-
 livery afforded a clue to one reason fer the
 slowing down of the buying in the extent
 of the covering of shorts who have been
 already done.
 With the perception that buying of this
 character was largely responsible for the advance which has occurred fin prices, ope-
 rators were disinclined to enter on extensive
 commitments on the long side of the mar ket. The fall in the advance was not the result of any change in the more confident feeling which has grown up in the financial district in the last few days and was the expression rather of a spirit of caution in risking- any renewed strain on the money
 market than undue precpitancy in attempts
 to restore lost ground in values. Estimates of the weeks currency move
 ment pointed again to gain by the banks, the figures indicating between two and
 three million dollars as the amount of the
 shows little decline in New York in spite of
 the progress of the crop movement proba-
 bly on account of the depression of govern ment funds made by the Secretary of the Treasury at interior points
 As the forecasts of the bank statement for three weeks past have indicated cash gain which the statement in turn failed to
 confirm. there was some hesitation today In operating in stocks to discount favorable bank statements. The call loan market however, showed returning In that branch. and actual cash gains which fall ed of reflection in the last bank statement
 are likely to affect that of tomorrow by
 the working of the system of computation by averages.
 The foreign trade statement for August attracted attention by reason of the small
 balance of excess value of exports over inn ports for the month. This amounted to but s1,s33.352 compared with $24,1o4,453 in August of 1906. Not only was there falling off of upwards of $2,000.0o0 in spite of exports but value of imports has risen
 more than s2o,o0o.eo0 over those for August last year.
 The present movement of grain for export
 however, is heavy and reports were current
 in that grain market of substantial buying of shorts.
 It is reported also that the foreign de-
 mand for the New York City bonds Is a pro
 nounced factor in the active market that
 has sprung up for these securities dealt in was the feature of the bond market today. the fifty year issue rising to 10s%. compar-
 ed with average price to subscribers of about 102.
 The ten year issue also became active today, advancing to 102% compared with an issue price below 101. This movement ia of pronounced tonic effect on tho whole market. Something was made of reports that the Chicago and Alton was to be all lowed immunity from prosecution in com nection with the Standard Oil rebate case. The late reaction in the market was partly relieved and the closing tone firm.
 s3,0o2.o ooo United States bonds were

Chicago. Sept. 20.-Wheat fer May de- livery sold on the Board of Trade today at S1. 0Sh, the high record mark for the sea- son. Options showed corresponding ad- yances. The sharp upturn was caused by sensational reports of damage by weather to the crop of western Canada. At the close the December delivery was & @1hc higher. Corn was up 1h @1 &c. Oats were 1%c higher and provisions 10@2oc higher. Sentiment in the wheat pit was extremely bullish all day and the volume of trade was large The opening quotations on the lead ing options were < OK 91Sc higher than the close of yesterday. The reason for the opening strength was an advance of almost 2d in the price of wheat at Liverpool be- cause of crop damage reports from Canada and greatly decreased shipments from Ar gentina. The local market was further strengthened by dispatch from Winnipeg which said that the last of the crop goes down and out tonight. killing frost being predicted everywhere. This message caused a stampede among shorts who bought al- most regardles of prices.
 Part of the gain was lost on heavy realiz- ing, but the market closed strong.

MARKET FOR COTTON

New York. Sept. 2o.--The cotton market was irregular again today with the close steady at net decline of 3@5 points. Sales estimated at 25o bales.
 The opening was steady at a decline of one to three points owing to indifferent cables. but soon rallied on a demand against sales in Liverpool. covering of shorts and some support from leading outside inter- ests. After selling up to net advance of five to six points, the market reacted to practically the opening figures under real fxing by some buyers, but rallied again dur ing the middle of the day on reports that storm warnings had ben posted from Mobile to Cedar Keys. Fla.
 This advance carried the active months fo a net gain of 9@Io points, but was fol- lowed by a second reaction owing to private wires from New Orleans claiming that there was no sign of a gulf storm at that point, and later the market was somewhat unset tied by rumors of financial difficulties in the Southern market.
 The close was at practically the lowest point of the session. Southern spot mar kets officially reported were hc higher to 1kc lower. sPrivate wires continued to re- port relative firnness in interior markets,
