as they seldom have picked before and night In an effort to keep up with the gathering of the staple. These accounts and the continued disposition of farm CTS to market as fast as they pick gave the market an easier tone. At the end of the first half hour of trading prices were unchanged to 1 point down compared with yesterdays closing.
 Around the middle of the morning de- termined buying was in evidence, ap- parently coming from a strong bull in terest and 1t caused room traders to take scalping portion on the long side. Reports from Mississippi said that farmers were beginning to express dissatisfaction with the prices they were being paid for spots and that they were in some cases hauling cotton back home instead of dispensing of 1t. This had much effect upon the market and helped change the trend of prices en- tirely. From a level 1 point down, the more active future positions were put 7@8 points up, compared with yester- days final quotation. At noon the mar ket was uuief and steady.
 Tn the afternoon session the market was quiet but steady. The advance was increased from S@11 points by Z o'clock.
 The close was steady at net ad- vance of SQ11 points.

GENERAL ADVANCE
 IN COTTON PRICES Covering and Continued Buy ing Are Main Factors MARKET IS, VERY ACTIVE Private Advfces From the South In- dicating Deterioration in the Crop
 Is the Cause of the Final
 Firmness
MARKET IS, VERY ACTIVE

New York, September H.-The cotton market was quiet again today. but there was a further advance on continued cov- ering and moderate buying by trade in- terests with the close steady at a net gain of to 23 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 2s points on September, and 3 to points on later months, the bulge in September being due to a little furry of buying by shorts, while later months showed the influence of steady cables and private advices from Liverpool, claiming that spinners were selling yarns at profit able prices; thus suggesting little like lihood of an actual lockout OF October 1.
 Right after the openmg September lost IS points under realizing, and later posi- tions sagged off to practically the closing figures of yesterday, but in spite of fla vorable weather advices, offerings were not aggressive and the market soon firmed up on buying by trade interests, covering and support by bull leaders. Numerous private advices from the south reporting a rapid deterioration In crop prospects during the past ten days were circulating through the street and possi- bly, made some impression on sentiment as suggesting a bullish government con- dition report early next month, but buy CTS seemed more particularly influenced by the failure of the eastern belt move ment to increaes as rapidly as expected and after early reports indicating steady spot markets prices here worked into new high ground for the day on October and later months. The close was only 3 to points off from the best under realiz- ing. Southern spot markets as officially reported were unchanged to hc higher, and if, as stated by local brokers, the south Is offering cotton freely, there must be fairly active demand to sustain prices.

COMPROMISE ON
 RAILROAD RATES

Jackson, Miss, September 2.-(Spe- cial. )--Mississippi railroads made great concession and the state railroad com mission won big victory today when 1t effected a compromise by which com pressed cotton and cottonseed products will be placed in Gulfport at the same rates as are charged New Orleans and Mobile. The commission ordered the rates put in effect several months ago, but the railroads refused and took the matter to the federal court, where it was heard, but Judge Niles has not rem dered his decision.
 In the meantime the rate has been put on, the railroads going even further than the commission could order, and make Gulfport the same rate that New Or leans and Mobile get even from Tennes- see and Kentucky points.
 Another suit as to reduced rates on uncompressed cotton between al. points in the state, and which has been accept ed by all roads save the Yazoo and Mis- sissippi Valley and the Great Northern, was not included in the compromise, but it is expected will soon be settled out of court.
 The suits are dismissed at the cost of the railroads, and they are ordered ho submit tariffs to Gultport in compliance with this agreement by October 1.
 Before the commission adjourns it will pass an order putting in milling in transit rates on grain, the railroads hay ing agreed thereto.

PRESSURE
 PUTS WHEAT LOWER
Big Buying Occurs Early to
 Cover Short Sales
LATE PRICES ARE LOWER
Fine Weather for Maturing the Corn Crop Is Cause of Extreme Weak ness-Oats and Provisions
 Also Close Lower

Chicago, September 21-Such stubborn resistance to selling pressure was made in wheat today that the market did not lose nearly as much as corn or oats. Foreigners were credited with a large portion of the sales. The close was at a net decline of Ac to ssd1sc for wheat. 11sc to 115@1ssc in corn and 1aQssc to 5sc on oats. A loss for the day was also placed against provisions of from Sc to BOG.
 The big buying in wheat was to cover short sales, one house alone taking fully 100000 bushels of December and May. Beforehand, however, there had been a weak start, from which in no time an entire recovery was made, and which was due to disappointing Liverpool ca- bles, these quoting futures. more than a penny lower.
 The English market was affected by private forecasts of large shipments from Black sea ports this week and by rainy weather promising a large crop in Ar gcntina An important increase in the flour trade at Minneapolis was seized upon as a sustaining influence, and so was a decrease in primary receipts. On the other hand, no talk of export busi- ness was heard today, and farmers mar ketings in Oklahoma were reported as large as at any time since harvest New ertheless, and in the fact of foreign sell Ing here, the close was at almost the best prices of the day. December ranged from s1.o0@1. .0O1s to s1.005s, finishing Ac net lower at $1.001s01. .00ss.
 Fine weather for maturing the crop caused extreme weakness In corn. Offer ings from the country were overwhelm- ing. In addition, there was much short selling. December sold from 521sc down to 50Rc, and closed weak at 51c, de- cline of 1ssc under the figures of 24 hours previous. The corn market was also weak. No. 2 yellow in final trading was 53a4@54c.
 Tired-out owners were free sellers of oats. Shorts covered, but eastern buy CTS were holding off. December varied between S4kQ34ssc and 35c, and in the end was at 345s@34Nc, a net loss of 1s9 %c. 4
 The weakness of corn and hogs count ed against provisions and led to much liquidation. The outcome left pork Dc to BOG down, lard 21kc to 71sc and ribs 5c to 15c.

Hubbard Bros. .S Co.'s Letter

New York, September 21.-At the open ing the feature was the covering of Sep tember and the hedge selling in the dis tant deliveries. which brought quotations below last evening" Then followed pe- riod of dullness until the brokers, usual ly executing orders for the bulls or last season, began buying heavily, In which movement the local trade joined, carry ing the market upward some 10 points. This movement in September has been expected, but the buying on so large scale of the distant deliveries was sur prise and brought orders from number of Wall street houses on the theory that noor crop reports must be the basis for this demand Whether it will be fol- lowed by an increased demand from spin ners, who bought freely below 13c, will determine the extent of the movement. NIf they do not follow a reaction will oc- cur after the interest in September is eliminated.
 Memphis continues to send poor crop adyices, while the reports from southern Texas. after the recent rains, are moro favorable.
 Liverpool should advance to points tomorrow.
