COTTON MARKET
 CONTINUES FIRM After An Early Decline Prices Work Higher COVERING STOPS DECLINE Reports Regarding Expected Storm Show That It's Force Has Dwin-
 died Awayand Higher Spot
 Basis Strengthens Market.
COVERING STOPS DECLIN E

New York, September 15.-Followipg an early decline today's cotton mark t steadied up on covering by early sellers and support from New Orleans, with the close very steady at a net advance of 1 to ? points. Sales were estimated at 125,000 bales.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of to points and before the end of the first hour sold off to a net loss of s to 9 points owing to more favorable weather advices and indif ferent cables. It was reported that the West Indian storm was spending it's force out at sea. Neither the western nor the eastern belt forecast suggested any immediate climatic disturbance. Receipts were full and bears who had covered toward the close of last week on storm uncertainties seemed to be selling during the early session, while there was also a moderate supply Of southern selling orders in the hands of commission houses. But around 8.78c for October the decline was checked by covering and the market firmed up during the afternoon on the demand from this source, which became more active during the last half hour when New Orleans was f1rmer and sent buy y- ing orders to the local pit. Possibly disappointment that the market had not declined more readily with - the West Indian storm out of the way had something to do with the covering ! movement, which may also have been encouraged by reports that a higher basis in the southwest was driving spot buyers into the eastern belt, and that the interior markets were gener- ally steady.
 Southern spot markets officially re- ported were 1s sc lower to 1-16c higher. Exporters were buyers here during the late trading.
 Receipts at the ports today, 52,129 bales, against 20 .e96 last week, and S4,- ell last year. For the week, 150 900 bales, against 12S,S29 last week, and 150,S62 last year. Today's receipts. at New Orleans, S75S bales. against 1851 last year, and at Houston 24,S76 bales, against S5 last year.

WHEAT MAINTAINS
 STRONG POSITION Advance Is Made In Spite Ot
 Heavy Arrivals BUYING VERY M0DERATE E Corn Works to a Lower Level in Price In Fairly Active Market-oats Are Half a Cent Lower and
 Provisions Are Weak.
BUYING VERY MODERATE

Chicago, September 15.-The market for wheat maintained it's strong position to- day despite continued heavy arrivals at Minneapolis and Duluth, although prices were for time somewhat depressed. h. cdentally, September created a new high record for the crop by selling at $1.OOB. Heaviness was still apparent in corn and oats, whlle provisions receded under scattered liquidation. Price changes in none of the cereals was considerable.
 September wheats rise not only created a new record for the crop, but equalled the former crop record of December and fell short of the high mark for May de- liveries by only 1s@Ac. This narrowing of the cash and near delivery prices was a prominent consideration in the spec ulative deals of the day. It required only moderate buying to stiffen prices, as there was no pressure of actual wheat on the local pit, prices in the northwest being still too high to render profitable the hedging of wheat. The bearish con- sideration aside from the heavy north west receipts was the big increase in the worlds visible supplies. Its effect was shown in prices touching the bottom for the day with December at 9Shc, be- ing 1hc below it's best figure attained later. The close at 991sc, Ac over yes terday, was said to indicate the firmness of the bull position in the absence Of any heavy individual trading. Minneap- oils, Duluth and Chicago reported re- cepts of 1,955, against 1864 last week, and 521 year ago.
 Corn prices worked to a lower level on a moderately active market. Selling seemed to be largely for the account of scattered longs. The close was heavy with the leading futures from ssQ5sc un- der the previous close. The shipping in dustrial demand was reported steady and was mostly small lots. The trade was somewhat exercised over reports of hog cholera which came with noticeable una nimity from Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and other states. Local receipts were All cars with 143 of contract grade
 Elevators and the more prominent com mission housese were sellers of oats for future delivery and cash oats found a slow demand at a price reduction of half cent. The country seemed to be on both sides of the market December oats within a range of 1Ac and closed ssc down at 499sQ4994c. Local receipts were 360 cars.
 Provisions broke early on realizing but met packers support at the decline and the close was fairly steady at loss of <Q10c.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat 53 cars corn. 1S7 cars; oats, 166 cars; Hogs, .22O0O head.

DOWNWARD DRIFT
 IN STOCK MARKET
Prices Are Fairly Held Up In
 Spite Of Selling
HARTMAN BACK IN MARKET I
Some Weakness Shown In the Hill Stocks and Easiness in the Money Market Are Given as Causes
 For Slight Declines.

New York, September 15.-Evidences of benevolent control of the course of prices of stocks by well fortified powers was still apparent today Its exercise did not save prices from a downward drift but the fall was regulated and re- strained That the support accorded the market was taken advantage of to ef- feet realizing sales was the suspicion of the trading element and confidence in the market was dissipated in conse- quence That element was unimpressed by the occasional strength in the Har- riman group and Reading, and by osten- tatious buying of those stocks by brokers supposed to be often employed by mem- bers of the Standard Oil party.
