New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, September 15.-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of Z to points. Cables were about as due and. the weather map was favor able. but the market was bullishly af- fected by renewed reports of deteriora- ton and damage in central portions of the belt and also on account of a con- tinued good spot demand. Bears were not aggressive and were rather dis posed to buy covers. At the end of the first half hour of business. prices were to points over yesterdays close.
 The market felt the force of hedge selling around the middle of the morn ing and this caused the advance to be- come very slow. Reports of an inn provement in the spot demand caused a moderate amount of fresh buying for long account and bullish cablegrams from Liverpool and Manchester regard Ing the extent of the cloth business being done in the latter market helped the bull side. Cablegrams from Egypt said that estimates of the crop of that country were being reduced because of unseasonably cold weather in upper Egypt. At noon prices were to 9 points over yesterdays close.
 After the noon hour the market was very dull and prices were inclined to work lower. At 2 o'clock the trading days last quotations.
 The market closed steady at net ad- vance of l to points.

TRADING DRAGS IN
 THE WHEAT MARKET
Buyers Inclined to Await the Canadian Reci-
 procity Vote

Chicago, September 15.-With buyers inclined to await the Canadian vote on reciprocity. the wheat market today proved dragging affair. Closing prices were hc to 7s @1c under last night. All other leading staples showed net declines. Corn down F a 5s to % c; oats, F O sso to Ac. and hog products. 2hc@12Mc.
 In several additional respects the Canadian situation had a bearish effect on wheat. An official estimate put the crop of the northwest provinces as high as s5,ooO.ooo bushels.
 Liverpool, also reported that Canadian offers were cheaper. A weak cash de- mand in Chicago added to the burden of the bulls and there was an almost equal deficiency of speculative orders to buy options.
 An increase of stock at Duluth acted in favor of the bears and so did con- tinued large arrivals at Omaha. In consequence, predictions were current that the United States supply total Monday would show gain. On the other hand. good flour trade at Mill waukee, St. Louis and Minneapolis had a restraining influence and helped cause steady tone at the close. During the day December ranged from 95Ac to S6Hc and In the end was 95%c, the net loss of 7s @1c.
 Corn weakened on account of selling by commission houses. depicting both country dealers and local owners who recently took the holdings of the larger longs. December moved between 65@64Mc. The close was steady, but hQ Sc down from last night at s41sc. Cash grades were dull; No. yellow finished at 6S@6SAc
 Poorness of shipping demand tended to carry oats lower. High and low points reached by December were 45B Q46c and 45A c. with the close es @ s4 0 eff at 45Ac.
 There was a selling drive at prices of all hog products. When trading came over, pork showed fall of Dc to 10c; lard was off 2Aa c to Dc, and ribs 5@7hc to 121ac.

COTTON MARKET
 CONTINUES QUIET
Shows a Very Steady Tone in Spite of Some
 Irregularities

New York, September 15-The cot ton market continued quiet today and although somewhat irregular showed a steady tone with the close steady at a net decline of 1 points on Septem Der, but from 4 to points higher on later months.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of 2 to 6 points on scattered covering and moderate support from leading bull brokers, which had the encouragement of steady Liverpool cables, although general news from abroad seemed bearish on the trade outlook. owing to unfavorable reports of the Moroccan situation. accounts of floods and revolution in China, and labor troubles In Spain.
 After selling about to points net higher right after the call the mar ket weakened under southern offer ings, favorable weather reports and scattered realizing, but the decline was sufficient to attract renewal of bull support as a result of which the mar ket soon firmed up again and at one time during the early afternoon sold to Il points net h1sner. some or the larger sellers of the early week were said to be covering cotton on this ad- vance, but there were offerings of De- cember around 11.51c, which were at- tributed to the leading longs. and the market weakened later under scatter ing liquidation and some local selling, which may have been inspired by bear ish weak end statistics There was some selling of September late in the day, said to be against shipments from the south and that position was again relatively easy toward the close.
 Last prices were about 5 points of on best active months. The advance during the middle of the day followed reports of rather a better demand foI goods in domestic markets and greater activity in southern mill circles.

'STOCKSF[UCTUATE
 WITH SMALL MARGIN
Nervous Tension Relaxes With Cessation of Pres
 ure From Abroad

New York, September 15.-Fluetuations in stocks were narrower today than dur ing tine cratic movement of recent days. The nervous tension Of yesterday was re- faxed and there was difference of opin- lon in sentiment 8
 The change came largely from the ces- sation of pressure from abroad. Europe brought back some of the securities 1t recently threw on the market by puy- ing afresh Londons balance or pnr- chases probably reached 25,ooo shares.
 Advices from European capitals were more cheerful and there was no trace of . renewal of liquidation.
 After an irregular opening the market became heavy. Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific. Northern Pacific, Reading and few other standard shares reeeded point early, but the majority of stocks lost only fractions.
 There followed a recovery placing the list above yesterdays close. Gains were as small as the earlier losses and dur Ing the remainder of the day moved with in narrow limits. Trading fell far below the previous day and net changes were slight.
 Uncertainty as to developments abroad was pointed out as the chief restraining feature. Until definite settlement of the Moroccan question is reached securities nn- doubtediy will be handled with the great est care. sharp attack on the market late in the day showed also that the bear party is still to be reckoned with.
 New Haven recovered 41a points of it's decline. Western Union developed strength following the favorable quarterly report of the company. National Biscuit was exceptionally weak breaking five points, and Minneapolis and St. Louis, which re- gently advanced on the announcement that it was to lease the Iowa Central and form part of new route from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, relapsed points.
 The weekly statement of the country S clearings was distinctly encouraging. Ex- changes increased more than 15 per cent over the corresponding week of last year, the gain being especially marked in the east and south.
 Reported movements of currency dur ing, the week indicate slight recession. The sub-treasury showed 100000 increase over last month. Loans in Germany were easy. Notwithstanding the liquidation pro- ceeding for foreign and domestic account, the money market is working definitely harder.
 The rates quoted for four, five and six months were at the maximum of the year.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, s1, 6S5,0o0; United States bonds were unchanged on call
