COTTON DECLINES
 UNDER PRESSURE Selling Begins As Soon As the
 Market Opens BROKERS BUY FREELY
Early Season But Foreign Ad- vices Cause Weakness
 in Prices

New York September 19-The cotton market was lower again today, the close being barely steady at a net loss of 12@ r points under scattering liquidation, bear pressure, labor troubles in Man chester, reports of good picking weather in the south and expectations of a rapid | increase in the new crop movement l The opening was steady at decline of | 2 to 10 points in response to weak ca bles, favorable crop conditions over Sun day, the official predictions for generally clear weather in the south this week and reports of increased southern spot offerings for forward shipments to Liv- erpool Offerings were pretty well ab- | sorbed at the start, but following pri- vate cables stating that master spinners had voted conditionally in favor of a | lockout in the Lancashire mill districts as result of the labor dispute the mar ket eased off under more aggressive sell ing until prices showed a net decline of about 14 to 20 points. Buying attributed partly to trade in this market and profit | taking by shorts checked the decline around this level and caused slight ral-
 
 seemed confident and closing prices were practically the lowest point of the day on active positions.
 The character of the buying on the decline was considered excellent, a large part of 1t being attributed to spinners hedgng their future requirements, but private cables reported more hedge sell ing in Liverpool this morning, and it was naturally anticipated that the in- creasnig new crop movement In the east ern belt would be accompanied by in- creased trade offerings in the local mar ket also.
 | Today's private advices from the south | as to the attitude of interior holders | ing that they were instructing factors | to hold, while others said that the inte- rior was rushing it's cotton to market | as rapidly as possible.
 | Southern spot markets officially report | ed early were unchanged to 1 1-16c lower. Most private cables from Liverpool pre- | dicted that labor disputes will be ad- | justed before an extreme step was taken. | Port receipts today exceeded early esti- mates.
 | Receipts at the ports today, 30,579 bales, against S,449 last week and S,320 last year. For the week, 275000 bales, against 16S, ,7O3 last week and 276,604 last year Today's receipts at New Orleans, 1,769 bales, against 1,431 last year, and at Houston 70,34O bales, against 26,36O last year.

uubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter

New York, September 1s.-Liverpool felt the effect of the offerings from the south and the anticipated action of the Master Spinners' association in unanimously agreeing to lockout on October l unless the operatives would adjust the difficult ties existing between them, which ap- pears to be of the same nature as those involved in the boilermakers' lockout. This decline abroad was greater than looked for, causing a decline here, which slowly continued to the close. Hedge sell ing from the southern buyers was mo- ticeable all day, while the trade bought on the belief that spinners would come in as buyers on this basis, as they did before
 Memphis sends reports of sharp dete- rioration from shedding and a poor out look for a final yield. The market to- night looks like lower In the morning, but with no material change in prices, which will for some little time be gov erned by the action of spinners There is still an uncovered short interest out standing in September, which may cause a quick rally at any time.

SLIGHT DECLINE
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Absence of Export Business Is
 Principal Factor
ARE LIGHT
and Free Selling Cause Decline. Oats Close Lower and Pro-
 visions Irregular

Chicago, September 19.-Professional spectators worked mainly on the buying side in wheat today and hoisted prices materially, but the close was at re- action and left the market unchanged to is04c below the final figures of Sat urday. Absence of export business form ed the dominating influence in the latest dealings. Corn finished a4Qasc down to ssc up.
 Oats unchanged to Ac off and hog products varying from 71kc loss to 15c advance.
 Covering of short sales, especially those of a southwestern operator, gave the wheat market its direction to large ex- tent Some of the inventives were de- crease in primary receipts, the smallness of the visible supply increased and a reduce estimate of the crop in France. World shipments too showed a big falling off. What wavering there was in the market occurred chiefly in the first hour or near the end of the day. December fluotuated between ssA9e97sc at $1.Oo%9 1.oO5sc and closed weak at S191.0Ols, a net loss of sdAc.
 Summer temperatures in the corn belt and free selling both new and old to arrive made a weak market for corn. The unloading, however, was overdone and on repurchases a portion of the decline was overcome. December ranged from 525sc to 5sl4c, closing steady 53@5S1sc, a net loss of 14@ssc.
 The cash market was easy; No. yellow closed at 54s4Q55c. Oats were down with other grains early but rallied: September was relatively weaker than the distant months December sold 35as@351ac to 35N 4357sc and closed unchaned at 35s4c
 Support from packers was necessary to brace provisions, latest quotations show ing pork TIC off to 21ac up; lard un- changed to 121ac higher and ribs ranging from Saturday nights figures to rise of 15 cents.
 F,ture uuotationS were as follows.

EGGS ARE q CENTS
 ON MORRIS AVENUE Poultry Prices Were Also Ad-
 vanced Yesterday BOTH PRODUCTS SCARCE Trade Is Excellent Considering the Shortage of the suppIy-GeneraI
 Quotations Were for Most
 Part Unchanged
BOTH PRODUCTS SCARCE

Fresh eggs sold at 27 cents the dozen yesterday on Morris avenue, showing an increase in price of cents the dozen since last Friday. Most of the retail grocers of Birmingham have raised their quotations cents the dozen on account of the 2-cent wholesale increase.
 Poultry prices also were raised yes- terdoy, 16 to IT cents the pound being asked for hens, which sold at 14 to i5 cents Saturday. The increase in the price of eggs and poultry is caused by the extreme scarcity of the products. Trade Is excellent considering the short age of supply.
 Receipts were along the usual line of staples in the produce market. General quotations were for the most part un- changed, and trade was reported brisk in all departments.

The rumor of labor troubles had something to do with the fall in prices in the early trading and these cable messages sent the market down until the trading months were II to 16 points under the level of Saturday Y closing The market displayed consider able weakness and would have gone low CT but for messages from prominent Liv- erpool operators in which the view was taken that a satisfactory settlement Of the dispute would be arrived at before the lockout would be in effect. At noon the market was quiet within point or of the lowest.
 Tn the afternoon session there was very little business doing around the ring. The bears were disposed to walt Tor more news concerning the labor situation in Lancashire before increasing their lines At 2 o'clock the market was 2 to 3 points up from the lowest of the day.
 The close was steady, at a net decline of 15 to 1T points.
