COTTON MARKET
 BARELY STEADY Sharp Advance Is Lost By Real
 izing Sales
CLOSE IS AT THE LOWEST
Spot People Are Free Buyers Early In the Session, But Weakness Follows On Reports of Favorable
 Weather and Selling.

New York, September 10.-After quite a sharp advance today's cotton market eased off with the close barely steady at a net decline of ? points to an ad- vance of points. Sales were estimated at 225, ,000 bales. The market opened steady at an advance of 1 to 4 points in response to higher cables than expected. big English spot sales and scattered GOV ering. Realizing by recent buyers caused an early reaction of or 5 points, but offerings were we'll absorbed, spot peo- pie bought near months, yesterdays re- vision of spot differences was believed to have strengthened the local contract and during the middle of the day the market became very firm with prices at one time showing a net advance of Il points.
 October sold at S.97, or 59 points above the low level of last week. Around these prices there was heavy selling for profit as we'll as increased offerings from local bears who considered that the rally had gone far enough In view of favorable weather conditions in the south and prices eased off quite sharply with the close at practically the lowest point of the day. Advices from the south indi- cated that interior spot markets were higher and that there was some demand from exporters but 1t was also reported that offerings were heavier at the ad- vance and that domestic spinners were refusing to buy at the higher levels Prl- vate cables, from Liverpool reported that strike negotiations had been broken off but that there was still hope of a settlement of the Manchester labor troubles.
 Southern spot markets officially re- ported were generally unchanged to 1-16 cents higher.
 Receipts at the ports today 17,65S bales against 1l,951 last week and 2l, ,1O5 last year.

WHEAT ADVANCES
 SHARPLY IN PRICE Market Is Lively and BulIish
 from the Start
DEMAND CONTINUES BRISK
Corn Market Is Decidedly BuIIish and the Crop. Situation Is Considered Alarming-oats and Provl.
 sions Also Close Higher

Chlcago, September 1O.-Bulls scored a. decisive victory in the wheat market to- day, and succeeded in forcing prices mora than 1c above yesterdays closing ouoto- .lohs' hnai figures showing net gains of FAC in all deliveries, Corn, oats and provisions also closed strong.
 The wheat market was strong fron, start to finish, and closed at the hiehest point. Despite lower cables and contin- ued, liberal receipts in the northwest tha market opened firm with prices a shade lower to bc higher Within A few min utes prices had advanced about hc on buying by shorts and bull leaders. De- mand continued brisk throughout the en- tire session, and the market steadily gained in strength. A factor that aup- mented enthusiasm was a report that the ior'iaho' Ore, trade journal, which esti- mated the total crop of Oregon. Wash ington and Idaho at 19,SoO,00 bushels less than last years yield. The market was also aneeted by dry weather in the win ter wheat belt, which is delaying fall sowing Clearances of wheat and flour uncomplete) were equal to 4O6, GOO bushels.
 Primary receipts were 1,365.O0O bushels. compared with S41,O00 bushels.
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re- ported receipts of S63 cars against 616 cars last week and AS cars a year ago
 The corn market also displayed decided pulilshness, and the new crop months es- abolished new high record marks for the session, December touching 6eslc and May of9sc. The trade is rapidly becoming con- Vinced that the situation in the corn belt growing out of the continued drought ,s assuming an alarming aspect. and that great damage will result unless the dry spell IS soon broken. Demand was active all day and offerings were not forthcom- ing in sufficient quantity to supply the needs. Shippers were active bidders for cash corn and prices at the sample tables were hc to 1c higher. The market closed strong at the highest point of the day at net gains of 11sc to 1A@1ssc. Local re- ceipts were 243 cars, with 73 of contract grade.
 The activity manifested in the wheat and corn pits detracted from the interest In the oats market and consequently trade in that pit was quiet Sentiment. how ever, was bullish all day owing to the strength of other grain.
 Cash oats were in moderate demand by shippers at an advance of Ac. The close was firm at net gains of 9sQ1Ac. Local re- ceipts were 201 cars.
 The provisions market was helped ma terially by the strength of corn. A firm tone prevailing all day.
