COTTON PRICES ARE
 ALMOST UNCHANGED
The Market Opens Higher But
 Rapidly Declines
AND PRICES SOON RALLY
During the Middle of the Day the Losses Are Recovered and the Market Becomes Steady
 and Remains So

New York, September 14.-No impor- tant change occurred in the cotton mar ket today. business remaining quiet and fluctuations narrow with the close bare ly steady, net 1 point higher to points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of point to a decline of points, but almost immediately eased off under local bear pressure and scattering liqui- dation. Possibly talk of freer spot offer irgs In Liverpool inspired some of the early selling, but after the market had shown net loss of about to points 1t steadied and during the middle of the day rallied on covering and moderate support from bullish sources, with prices at one time ruling net unchanged to 4 points higher.
 It appeared from private advices. how ever, that the West Indian storm was passing to the westward south of the Texas coast, suggesting nothing more than showers in the interior of that state, and when cables were received here in the afternoon reporting that the Allan tic states were offering spots freely at concessions, the local market turned easier again with the close unchanged to 1 point higher on the near months and generally to points lower on the later positions,
 It was reported that private cables from London had been received, stating that English and continental bankers had announced their unwillingness to ac- cept the validation of cotton bills of lad ing proposed by American bankers.
 Southern spot markets were unchanged to 3-16c lower, the declines being mostly In the eastern belt markets, while Hous- ton was firm at unchanged prices.
 The official forecast was for showers in the southwest tomorrow.
 There was meeting of the revision committee of the New York Cotton Elk change after the close tonight, but no change was made in the differences be- tween grades as applied to deliveries on contracts, and the present differences will, threfore, remain in force until the next meeting of the committee in No vember.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today, 19 9,319 bales, against 16,441 last week. and 29,772 last year. For the week, 14o,OOO, against 94,S15 last week and 2A,52e last year.

week stimulated selling to some extent and at the end of the first half hour of trading prices were to points down.
 Shorts took profits on the decline quite freely, buying of this character being stimulated by the light movement. Around the middle of the morning prices had re- covered to practically the highest levels of the day. Toward noon there was an other recession on many reports from Texas that cotton was taking on new growth as the result of recent rains. Several well-known Texas spot houses sent In increased estimates of the yield of their state. This resulted in moderate short selling and around noon the trad ing months were within 4 points of the lowest.
 In the afternoon session the market was dull and easy under a moderate amount of short selling. At o'clock prices were at the lowest levels of the day.
 The close was barely steady, to points below yesterdays close.

WHEAT STILL SHOWS GENERAL WEAKNESS
Russian Wheat Trade Is Re-
 ported Generally Weaker
RECEIPTS ARE LOWER
Fine Weather for. Corn Is Cause of Weakness and Closing Prices Are Lower-Oats Close Higher,
 Provisions Irregular

Chicago. September 14.-A prominent local speculator was credited with hav- ing picked up through commission houses today 100000 bushels of wheat. The story produced temporary rally, but the bearish foreign news that poured in all day resumed control and caused a net decline of s4c to 1c. Corn closed hQ1c down. Oats unchanged to Ac advance and hog products varying from a gain of 5c to a loss of 10c.
 Considerable weakness was reported from the Russian wheat trade, increased acreage and improved outlook in Ar gentina were heard from, and there was a break in both cash and futures at Winnipeg. Liquidation by tired holders was the general order of the day and some of them were of & larger and more influential sort. Primary receipts showed a decided falling off, but the fact was deprived of much significance when con- trasted with official figures that exports from the United States to Great Brit ain during last month were only little more than the total of year ago. The close was weak at nearly the lowest of the session with December at 9s5sQ98a4c a loss of Bc to %q1c, as compared with 1f uOuIS pIcflOuS- lAS idhBO ndo 1iOll 9S11c to 99Ac.
 Fine weather for the rapid bringing of the corn crop to the safety line made that grain weak. There was consider able selling out by the poor holders who did not wish to carry the property over tomorrow's holiday. December fiuctuated between 53Bc and 547sc, closing 1c net lower at 541Ac. Cash corn was being of fered at very low prices east with the tone weak. No yellow closed at 56Ad 561tc.
 Oats after a depressed start developed surprising firmness. Attempts by smaller traders to cover short sales formed the chief influence. Receipts dropped off ma terially. December sold from S4ssc to 35Ac and finished at the latter figures, a net gain of hc.
 Declining quotations for hogs weakened provisions but enlisted support from a few packers and shorts. In the end pork was 10c lower to Do higher. Lard PIG up to 10c down, and ribs, 21so cheaper.
 Future quotations were as follows:

New York, September 14.-Joe Seymour, in his Curtiss biplane, and Tod Schriver, in the Howard Diets biplane, had an unusual experience early today when both became lost in dense fog that hung. over the Hampstead plains. Each aero naut was warned of the others approach by the throbbing of the motor and thus avoided collision by flying over or below each other as they approached. Seymour made four long cross-country fights and Schriver made three.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.,. Letter

New York, September 14-(Special.)- A slight decline In the European mar kets was without material effect upon our market though the southern markets are gradually easing in the absence of an aggressive demand. We have seldom seen the trade with so confused opin- Ions, or rather with lack of positive opinions, sufficient to induce them to take decided views as to the future course of prices Certain sections of the south are reporting poor crops while In the same states from which these reports come other sections report an excellent prospect All are united. however, in stating that the crop Is late and that everything depends on the date of frost Holding these undecided views, the trade Is awaiting the movement of the crop to test the action of both planter and spin her as to prices. We think there is less interest in the market than for many months; certainly much less than at this time last season.
 The action of the European bankers in refusing to accept the validation of the bills of lading should not be regarded as their final word. While this action looks serious we believe the matter will be arranged. Europe needs the cotton and we need the money, but we do not be- leve the European bankers will carry their action to a point which would dis arrange the money markets of the world or close the cotton mills of Europe.
