COTTON ADVANCES
 8 ID F POINTS Opening Is Steady and Prices
 Continue Upward BEAR PRESSURE USELESS Demand From Spnners Is Becoming Noticeable and They Seem To Be Scared By Bullishness of
 Government Report.
BEAR PRESSURE USELESS

New York; September 3-Aside from some irregularity as result of evening up for over Labor Day, todays cotton market showed a generally steady tone owing to continued influence of yester- days bullish government report, talk of a better spot demand and New Orleans bull support the closing being firm at net advance of to 12 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points with the active months selling about 6 to points net higher during the early session, on cover ing and southern buying, which was en- couraged by the firmness of cables, bull fish private advices indicating uneasiness among foreign spinners as the result Of the low September condition and reports of improving trade.
 On the advance the market met the same sort of pressure that was in evil dence yesterday and which seems to come from very strong local bear clique. This pressure, in connection with realiz- ing for over the holidays, sent prices off to nearly the closing figures of yesterday during the middle of the morning, but the market developed renewed firmness in the later tradings on frmer spot re- ports and claims of more urgent de- mand from spinners.
 At the high point December contracts sold at F COG, or withi na point of the best level touched yesterday. That posi- ton closed at 12.59c, and the general list closed within a point or two of the top While the local and New Orleans markets will be closed on Saturday and Monday, Liverpool will remain open and,, having recently shown bullish tendency, ap- prehensions of higher cables at the re- opening on Tuesday probably promoted local covering in the late trading.
 Southern spot markets officially report ed early were unchanged to 1sc lower. Weather reports attracted no special at tention.
 Receipts at the ports today 17,222 bales, aga<nst 10,245 last week and 12,34S last year. For the week S0,000 bales, against 34709 last week and 79,332 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 275 bales, against s443 last year, and at Houston 1850 bales, against 665S last year.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, September 3.-Spot cot ton steady, unchanged; middling. 12 7-16c. Sales on the spot, 234 bales; to arrive, $50; for9 deferred delivery, 100. -z.
 Futures opened steady at an advance of to points on favorable cables and an accumulated amount of buying or ders over night based on yesterdays bullish condition report Soon after the opening the market stood ' to points up. This invited bearish at tacks and for a while selling was very heavy with the result that prices were forced down until they were un- changed to two points higher than yes- terday's closing. In the afternoon ses- sion the market strengthened on very bullish accounts from the spinning cen ters. Manchester, Liverpool, Bremen, Havre and Moscow all sent in favora- ble cable messages and Dallas, Tex wired that that market was flooded with bids from European spinners. Sa- vannahs sales of 1887 bales of spot cotton and the announcement that d local operator of prominence had to- day sold out of the very small stock at New Orleans $500 bales of spots to New England and roc more to Europe sent prices up for net advance of 12 to IA points. The close was steady at a net advance of to 10 points.
 The market closed tonight to remain closed until Tuesday morning.
 Futures this week again make mod crate net advance. October gained points over last weeks closing and the later options advanced IA to 16 points. October's relatively small gain was due to considerable hedge selling against actual cotton.
 The principal event in the market this week was the government report on condition which was 63.7 per cent. the lowest on record for September. This fell flat as bullish factor owing to the determined efforts of bears to vance of the week was due to the rise today on reports of a heavy demand for spot cotton from spinners.
 In the spot market a very moderate business was done. Offerings continued scanty on account of the small stock In port. Total sales on the spot for the week were 920 bales, against 765 last week. Sales to arrive were TOO bales, against 107 last week. Middling gained 1-16c for the week.

PRICES OF STOCKS
 AGAIN ADVANCE United States Steel Goes Up to New Record Figures
   PRICES MOVE UNEEENLY
Rock Island Develops Strength But Many Other Stocks Fail To Make Advances-Money
 Market Very Quiet.

New York, September 3.-Prices contin- ued to advance today in the stock mar ket with rather desultory demand. The transactions in United States Steel domi- mated the whole market, enormous blocks of that security changing hands through out the day. The opening sales were of 13,500 shares the orders being executed at 7S% and 79, thus establishing the stock on new record basis. The market in which United States Steel rose for the first time above 80, as, it did late In the day, cannot be called entirely unin- teresting, yet the comparison of sales of Steel with the aggregate of all stocks shows how largely that stock overshad- owed everything else
 Trade news on Steel continued encour- aging, but the movement in United States Steel was accompanied also by signs of a highly speculative origin. Pains were taken to employ the cable to report that predictions were current in London that the price of the stock was to go to 9O Chicago sent a report that an increase ,n the dividend to per cent was in con temptation at the next quarterly meet ing, and to 5 per cent soon thereafter Longer range predictions figured next years business at an aggregate of round billion of dollars. The fact that most of these tips were incapable, by the nature of things, of verfications or of refutation, did not seem to rob them of their influence in the speculation
 The sympathetic effect on the general list was considerable but not universal. The upward movement was uneven and did not affect some of the principal ac- tive stocks Covering of shorts by the bear party on the eve of the three days holiday was given large credit for the price movement. The failure of a stock exchange firm of minor importance passed almost without notice, coming, seem- ingly, without great surprise. Special strength in the Rock Island stocks was accompanied by rumors of an early re- sumption of dividends on Rock Island preferred and on St. Louis and San Francisco second preferred. The copper stocks hung back and re-selling of re- fined copper by second hands kept up the unfavorable impression of market condi- tions for that metal.
 Preliminary estimates of the weeks cur rency movement compiled by the banks themselves indicate the balance of the movement still in favor of New York, but for a less amount than last week. New York exchange at Chicago today fell to 45 cents discount per s100 level, calling for free shipments to that point. On sub-treasury operations the banks have lost to the government since the previous bank statement over $3,OO0,OOO gold, disbursements here having been light during that period. There was a deposit at the ub-treasury today of S1 800, GOO for telegraphic transfer to the Pacifc coast, designed for shipment to Japan. This is for account of London

SLIGHT ADVANCE
 IN WHEAT MARKET Prices Advance Sharply But
 Most of Gain Is Lost CASH GRAIN IN DEMAND Uncertainty as to Damage inflicted
Uncertainty as to Damage Inflicted Upon Corn Crop Leads to Ad- vance in Prices-Oats and
 Provisions Strong.

Chicago, September 3.--Wet weather in the northwest was reflected in a firm mar ket on the board of trade here today. Realizing sales, however, caused loss of part of the gain, but at the close prices were 1sc to as@5sc higher, com pared with yesterdays final figures Corn, oats and provisions also displayed consid- erable strength.
 Interest of traders in the wheat market centered in weather conditions in the spring wheat country, and as scattered rains had been reported In various sec tions, sentiment In the pit when trading began was quite bullish An official fore cast of showers generally over Minnesota and the Dakotas during the next A hours further strengthened the belief that the movement of the new crop would be de-. layed by the unfavorable weather. AS D. result the market early in the day mani fested a fair degree of strength. There was no leadership in the trade, however. demand coming chiefly from small brok- CTS.
 A continued free movement of wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth caused the trade to hesitate in following the advance and in consequence demand soon dropped off materially, which resulted in recessions from the high points. The market was in clined to drag during the greater part of the day, and prices fiuctuated over com paratively narrow range. brisk demand for the cash grain in the northwest and southwest helped to hold firm the price of options here. The range for the day on December was between 9414 and 947sc, and final quotations were at 941a@94ssc.
 Uncertainty regarding the exact amount of inquiry inflicted on the growing crop of corn by the recent drouth led to re- newed buying of that grain by shorts, which caused a firm market nearly all day. The September delivery showed more consistent strength, although the deferred months made greater gains early in the day. An advance of 1AQ1ac in the price of cash corn was largely responsible for the firmness of September At the close the September was up 1sc; December was unchanged and May 1sc lower.
 Oats were firm throughout the entire session, and at the close prices were a shade to 1ac above the previous close. A feature of early trading was urgent buy ing of the September delivery by shorts which caused firmness in all options Comparatively light receipts, despite the enormous yield estimated for the new crop, had a bullish effect
 Provisions were firm all day owing to buying based on the bullish showing of contract stocks of provisions in store here, the supplies being considered remarkably low. A SC advance in live hogs also had a bullish influence. Prices at the close were 21ad121ac higher.

were by the bureau report they have been also considering the large consumption of last season and the prospective demand for goods on the expansion of business everywhere. Their buying began at the opening, and while the market hestated under further liquidati tion the influence of this buying here, in the south and in Liverpool finally closed the market firm at the best prices of the day and since the August government report.
 The markets had the appearance of business being put through in every di- rection which may foreshadow an active competition among spinners for their sup plies from a small crop. If this develops the transactions of individual merchants cease to be of weight. Late Manchester advices report active demand.

and is due to the convenience of the government transfer across the continent by the facilities afforded by the. sub. treasuries.
 decline in cash holdings of nearly S3, ,000, 900 seems likely to be shown by the bank statement. The quiet tone of the money market seemed to leave no room for uneasiness on the part of spec ulative borrowers. There were some signs of disapprobation on the part of the banks with the volume of loans of some stock market borrowers, neverthe- less, and some recent selling of stocks was said to be in response to intimations from the banks.
