LOW ESTIMATES ON CROP

New York September 15.-The cotton market was decidedly more active and firmer today on aggressive bull support, bullish private crop reports and encour- aging trade advices. The close was steady at a net advance of 15 to 20 points.
 The opening was firm at an advance of to 13 points, fin response to better cables than expected, the continued large sales at Liverpool, covering and spot house buying December contracts sold at 12S9 on the call, 30 points above the low level of Monday morning and this rally being considered sufficient for the time being by scalping traders brought out a good deal of selling, not only for short accounts, but fin the way of realizing by recent buyers. Prices reacted to about the closing level of the previous day. under this pressure, but toward mid day the market was rallied sharply by heavy buying of prominent New Or leans operator now in this city.
 Prices responded quickly for the ag- gressive demand, and it was estimated that the purchase by this operator alone aggregated fully 10000 bales, which, ac- cording to latest gossip, was really pur- chased for the account of large local commission house. The aggressyeness of the bulls started general covering, which sent December up to 12.51, or 22 points net higher Rumors that promi- nent southern authority estimated the crop at less than 10.000040O bales: ex- pectations of a very bullish private con dition report before the end of the week; and reports that the Fall River labor troubles had been settled, were factors in the advance, in connection with re- .rrfC it,tn 1DII market closed within two or three points of the top Southern spot markets off, cially reported early were unchanged to isc higher.

WEAKNESS IN THE
 WHEAT MARKET Liberal Receipts and LiverpooI's Decline Cause the Slump CLOSE ALMOST AT BOTTOM Trade in Corn Is Quiet But Prices Close Firm and Higher on Crop
 Report-Oats Close Firm
 and Provisions Weak.
CLOSE ALMOST AT BOTTOM

Chicago, September 15.-Continued lib- eral receipts in the northwest and a weakness in the wheat market here to- day. At the close prices were ss11Sc to 11Ac below yesterdays finals Corn and oats closed firm. but provisions were weak.
 The wheat market was weak all day, with the exception of a short period dur ing the first hour, when prices advanced about 1c on buying by prominent con- mission houses. The September delivery, which was subjected to heavy selling pressure by a leading elevator interest nearly all day, showed the greatest weak ness, and at the bottom was nearly Pc below the best mark of the day. The market closed at almost the lowest price.
 Declines Of lsc to 1hc were recorded at the opening, owing to general selling based on @ heavy movement in the northwest, and on decline of lad to 1hd at Liverpool These influences affected the market all day, and were reinforced by additional purchases of wheat at Du- luth for shipment here.> Two cargoes were reported to have been bought there today, one of which was intended for delivery on September contracts. That option ranged during the day between 102 Sand and $1.o3%, while December sold between 9sc and 99Ac. The close on September was s1O24 and on December 9Sh@9SAc
 Trade in corn was quiet all day, but the market was firm the entire session excepting a brief period at the start. The principal bullsh influence was the re- port of a local crop expert which esti- mated shrinkage of 1o5,0O0,0O0 bushels in the total yield of corn in the United States compared with the latest official statistics. The market was also bull ishly affected by falling off in receipts, the arrivals here today being nearly 100 cars less than had been estimated. The close was firm, with prices 1sc to Ac higher than last night.
 Buying of the September delivery by shorts was the feature of trading in the oats market, and was responsible for the moderate firmness which was manifested nearly all day. Trading was dull the entire day. Prices at the close were a shade to Ac above the final figures of the previous session.
 Liberal realizing by longs caused weak ness In provisions. The selling was in evidence all day, and demand was scat tered, local packer being the principal bidder. Prices at the close were 21a@5c to 1213c lower.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, September 15.-tSpecial.)- Europe continues to buy This Is the simple fact underlying the market and which prevents large amount of hedge selling eacls- day from the south. Our American spnners are ready and willing to buy their basis on call. but do not fix the price as they look for a large move ment to break the market. Todays strength in Liverpool was a surprise and the arbitrage operators bought here free ly against sales abroad, closing that mar ket quiet at only 3 points advance. But as the local trade supplied the demand when another demand supposed to be for the purpose of replacing the cotton re- gently sold appeared the market advanced closing at 20 points advance The south ern markets do not show any severe pres sure but the trade here expects that Liverpool will not follow and that the market will be lower tomorrow.
 Liverpool should come points higher tomorrow.
