Manufactured Imperial Cotton Exhib-
 tied in Los Angeles.
LLos Angeles Express)

(DOS AnBeleS BKpFeSS)
 King Cotton has come to Southern California to stay.
 The first manufactured cotton grown in the Imperial valley has arrived in Los Angeles and is on display at Bull locks department store. It was grown on the Meloland ranch of the Joseph R. Loftus company, and ginned by the American Nile Cotton company in the valley. It was manufactured at the California Cotton mills at aOkland.
 In a Broadway window of the de- partment store is an attractive display of the manufactured product together with the cotton bolls on the plant and standard bale of the cotton, weigh ing 600 pounds. Heaps of the snowiest damasks, art burlaps, batts, crash and bath towels are on exhibit, all made from Imperial valley cotton. A cotton bait five feet tall, said to the the larg- est in the world, is also shown.
 Each bundle of goods is stamped with the inscription: Cotton from Im- perial Valley; Crop 19O9' The raw material from which the goods was made is short staple cotton, grown from Texas seed. The raw cotton grown in the valley is much winter and has more uniform fiber than that of the Eastern cotton. The fiber of the Imperial cotton also is stronger.
 Manufacturers are very eager to ob- tain the Imperial raw cotton, for the reason that it is much cleaner, and free from stains and mildew caused by the rains.
 It is said that the Imperial valley will produce twice as much cotton to the acre as the Eastern and Southern soil

DOWNWARD TREND
 IN COTTON PRICES
Free Spot Offerings in South
 Affect the Market
DETERIORATION IN CROP
The Early Offerings Are Absorbed and Prices Advance But the Market Breaks Sharply in the After
 noon and Closes Lower

New York, September 1.-The cotton market started the new season today with business generally quiet and with prices showing downward tendency. This was owing to reports of free spot offerings in the south. Steady at a net decline of to 20 points.
 The market opened steady at decline of points on September, but generally to points higher in response to better ton report showing a deterioration of Az per cent in the crop outlook for the past month, thus pointing to a government re- port below the 10-year average at noon to- morrow. Traders appeared to be selling spots against purchases of spots in the south, and the market from the start was more or less unsettled.
 Early offerings were very well absorbed within or points of the initial figures, and around the middling of the morning an aggressive support of September by the old crop bull leaders set the price of that position up to a net gain of 5 points, while 1t also started covering by early sellers of the later months. which ad- vanced to a net gain of 2 to points.
 This bulge appeared to attract large offerings from local bears, and trade in- terests and the market broke sharply dur ing the afternoon owing to the failure of bullish crop reports to attract any general demand, the talk of larger new crop of ferings and reports of lower southern spot markets. September sold off to net loss of 22 points when bull support was with drawn and other positions to net loss of about to points
 Closing points were within point or two of the lowest although in the late trading the market was little steadier as a result of covering for over the official condition report tomorrow. Southern spot markets as officially reported were 1sc to 1c lower, refecting a further readjust- ment Of prices from the old to the new crop basis.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today 14,4s1 bales, against 7245 last week and Il, ,314 bales last year For the week, 90 900 bales against 55,476 last week and s2, ,o1O last year. Today's receipts at Hous- ton, Il, ,7s1 bales, against 6967 last year.

WHEAT DECLINES ON
 HEAVY DELIVERIES
Commission Men Handle Over
 Two Million Bushels
NO LACK OF BEAR NEWS
of Frost Damage and Closes Ir- reguIar-Oats Close Higher;
 Provisions Lower

Chicago, September 1.-In the monthly settlement today more than two and a quarter million bushels of wheat were delivered to commission traders, many of whom proceeded to resell in the pit. Such a heavy load forced the September op- ton to the largest discount at any time this season. 1014c below May, and left the market as whole at net decline of Mc to ssc.
 Corn closed Ac lower to asc higher; oats. lsc to 11sc up, and hog products down Dc to 171ac.
 September wheat weakened when ele- vator support was withdrawn, which has general the warehouse men bought Sep tember and sold other months.
 There was no lack of news on the bear side. Northwest wheat stocks increased fully e0,OOo bushels, compared with very small gain year ago. The Bulgarian crop was reported 20. .ooo,OOo bushels larger than 12 months ago There were dis patches asserting that Russia and Rou- mania were undersellng America In addition to this the drouth in Argentina was said to have been broken and the from that country and from India were much augmented. It was as serted on the other hand that export sales had been made at Duluth, and there was a late show of strength at Liver pool.
 The close here was steady with De- cember Ac to ssc off, at $1.03ss to $l.03asd 1 .O31b, after fluctuations during the day reaching from s1.OS1s@1. .OSA to s1.04
 The corn trade was still bit nervous as to the possibility of frost damage. The country, however, was selling a little more freely. December ranged from 57ssc to 577sc, and closed 571z@S7ssc. September showed a net gain. Business in that de- livery was small. Cash corn was firm. No yellow closed at 5914G59%c.
 Oats were active and higher because of evidences of liberal purchases by eastern dealers, who are holding cheap storage, and who hedge the grain here mainly for December and May. December varied between ss1sc and ssss@ses4c, closing, as@ 1ac up, at 3S5sd36%c.
 Weakness in provisions was laid to sell ing of lard by foreign concerns. Latest quotations were all lower than last night pork by 15c to 1713c; lard Sc to 719Q1oc, and ribs 10c to 121ac.
 Future quotations were as follows:
