COTTON MARKET
CONTINUES FIRM
FIuctuation Is Narrow And
Business Is Light
BEARS NOT VERY ACTIVE
After Reaction From the High Point
the Market Rallies on Fear of
Bad Weather and Losses
Are Overcome.
BEARS NOT VERY ACTIVE

New York, September Especially 1.-The
cotton market opened steady at I'M
changed prices to an advance of points,
and during the first few minutes sold
to points net higher on covering for
over the week end. While the market
reached or points from the best prices,
they rallied again during the middle OF
the morning about to 7 points higher
on reports from New Orleans that the
weather looks threatening. Business was
quiet and chiefly professional.
Restricted offerings, and the knowledge
that the leaders have gone short 'on the
theory that actual cotton pressure will
break the market, worked against the
bear cause and probably prompted some
investment buying on the small scale.
Fresh short" sellers were scarce enough
and the attitude of floor traders indi-
Gated an important change in professional
sentiment.
As in all narrow markets, the swing
has been relatively wide and yet values
are not nearly so high as the newly dis
covered bulls think they ought to be.
However, an advance of 90 points from
the low prices of a few days ago, and
on the eve of the heavy movement, may
logically be expected to awake Europe
from her lethargy by suggesting to the
mind of the foreigner that present day
strength may be the result of several
causes heretofore ignored including a
smaller crop than has been counted on,
a more general disposition on the part
of the planter to hold out Tor an advance
than the trade believed probable, and a
Short" interest in both spots and con-
tracts somewhat larger and enjoying less
protection than procrastinating consumers
had been led to think possible.
Under the depressing influence of long
period of slack demand, good weather and
bearish confidence, the tendency of the
trade was to discount price pessimism to
the last penny. In the main, speculative
support lacked force, ana even now can
not be counted on to force the issue and
regain price ground in the same ratio in
which it was lost during the summer
months.
The effect of the storm now In progress,
the extent of the movement delays caused
by the rains now falling. and the degree
of fear inspired abroad by the shifting
of cisatlantic cotton market sentiment
from bearish to bullish remains to be
seen, but in the interim owners of actual
cotton appear increasingly confident at a
time when the men who need that cotton
seem to be losing confidence quite rapidly.
The market closed steady, with prices
1 to 0 points higher.
Receipts at the ports today, 1852 bales,
against 20,5S7 last week and 30,504 last
year. For the week, 10000 bales, against
213,SS2 last week and 221, 912 last year. To-
days receipts at New Orleans, 2O46 bales,
against 652 last year, and at Houston, 7149
bales, against 10000 bales last year.

The Fertile Desert.

Walter E. Weyl, in Success Magazine.
The desert is the most fertile area in the
United States. That sounds like a para
dox, yet it is true. Where did the great
civilizations of antiquity arise? Where
but in the fertile deserts? Egypt Syria.
Palestine. Persia Arabia, Northern In
dia, the north coast of Africa, were all
arid lands. The Incas in Peru, tho Toll
tees and Aztecs in Mexico, reared their
civilizations upon desert plateaus. The
history of the Jews is history of a des-
ert folk. 1t was within the encircling
walls of the desert that they evolved
their national and their religious con-
seriousness. Out of the desert sprang all
these things as the water gushed from
the rock at the blow of Moses.
The desert is most fertile, because 1t is
a savings bank without any Withdrawals.
Plants need potash, magnesa, lime and
other foodstuffs, just as we need animals
and plants. Now in the humid lands,
such as in our eastern states, the rains
have fallen for tens of thousands of CEN
turtles, and they have washed out the food
of the plants. But in the arid lands the
rains have fallen sparingly or not at all.
Some of the desert lands of our west con-
tain three times as much potash, six
times as much magnesia, fourteen times
as much lime, as the humid lands of the
east. The desert Is an inexhaustible
storehouse of food for the plants of thou
sands of years to come, a storehouse to
be drawn upon as soon as the land Is ir-
rigated.

Manchester Cloth Market.

Manchester, September 1e.-The wage
dispute between the employers and the
cotton operatives and the possibility of
a general stoppage of work made cloth
producers adopt a firm attitude during
the past week and hesitate to conclude
large contracts pending settlement. Bet
ter prices, therefore were obtained for
fair transactions during the week which
consisted of shirtings to China, light
cloths to India and Japan. while the
South American and Mediterranean mar
kets paid hardening rates for their as
sortments. Yarns became somewhat IT.
regular but the quotations remained
unchanged.
The business which was below that of
last week, consisted principally of the
lower grade of American cops.

HIGHER PRICES
IN WHEAT MARKET
At The 0 ening The Market Is
Slightly Lower
BULLS BOOST PRICES HIGH
Cholera In Russia Is One of the Most
RulIish Factors In Spite of Heavy
Recelpts-oats, Corn and
Provisions Close Higher.
BULLS BOOST PRICES HIGH

Chicago, September 19.-The market
for wheat rebounded today under the
stimulus Of reported export business and
the Russian cholera, closing prices being
from 11hc to 1ssc over yesterday. Corn
oats and provisions all finished at an
advance. The wheat prices we're the
highest Of the crop.
At the opening the wheat market gave
no promise of higher aspirations, prices
being off fractionally on the heavy ar
rivals in the northwest and at Winnipeg
and the good weather Later, however,
Canada discovered that the climate con-
ditions were unsettled and Liverpool
failed to follow the decline on this side
yesterday. Traders in consequence turned
their attention to the export situation ana
found that 1t was good. 1t was reported
that all offerings from the seaboard
Kansas City and Duluth, aggregating
100000 bushels overnight had been
taken abroad. Under this stimulus prices
started upward and passed previous high
marks. Added bull fervor came from
cholera reports from Russia
1t was calculated that Germany and
the Mediterranean ports might have to
close their wharyes to Russian wheat 10
avoid the epidemic. The southwest con-
tributed a mite of bullish news by warn
ing the trade that the dry weather would
restrict the area of winter wheat seeded
this fall. Incidentally it was noted that
primary receipts for the week broke all
previous records by 100000 bushels put
III, aIra n 10 r.
tor a telling one.
Primary receipts today were 2,143,OOO
bushels. against 1851, 900 bushels a year ago.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to 200,000,000 bushels. Local
receipts were 70 cars six of contract
grade, while the aggregate car lots re-
ceived at Chicago, Minneapolis and Duluth
were 1343 against 1125 last week and 026
a year ago.
Fine weather for the maturing crop and
more raiding of the September delivery
depressed corn prices at the outset but
shorts covered on the wheat bulge and
the coarser cereal closed firm with De-
cember up &c. The cash market was
firm. Car lots were in good demand and
offerings were moderate. The sample
market likewise was firm. Local receipts
were 292 cars, with SO of contract grade.
The oats market was quiet affair,
overshadowed by the corn and wheat
pits Prices worked higher IN sympathy
with the other grains, December closing
&c up. Local receipts were 2O5 cars.
The corn strength and support from
packers stimulated the provisions market
and closing prices were from bQ712c to
2211c over yesterday
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
Sc cars; corn, 321 cars; oats, 231 cars;
hogs, $4,000 head.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, September 19.-(Special.)-
Many cablegrams from Liverpool today
contain practically the same advice that
the unexpected determination of the card
room operatives to resist the reduction
of per cent in their wages may bring
about a lockout on Monday in Lanca-
shire They do not believe that the lock-
out will be Of long duration.
Our market has shown the usual move
ment on a Saturday following the sharp
decline of yesterday, rallying few
points, which may bring about slight
roco~ery In Liverpool on Monday. The
feeling here IS that in this period of
e4unloctial storms it is dangerous to have
any short interest outstanding over Sun
DAY. So far no storm is In sight but the
trade fears the possibility of one de-
veloning
