COTTON BREAKS
 UNDER SELLING New Low Records Are Es- tablished for All
 Deliveries

New York, September 25.-There was a renewal of heavy southern selling in the cotton market today under which prices broke very sharply, establishing new low records for all deliveries. The close was easy at a decline of from 3i to 40 points for the day, last prices being practically at the lowest or the session.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of II to 23 points in response to lower Liverpool cables, bearish adVices from interior spot markets, good weath- CT over the week end and favorable crop accounts from Georgia and Ala bama. Covering was heavy on the call and prices rallied 10 or l points from the lowest during the first few min- utes but the southern offerings of fu- lures here continued very heavy ana the market soon weakened again reaoh- ing the lowest point late in the day when September cotton sold at lOlsc, October at 10,1Sc and December at 1O31c, or 31 to 39 points net lower. Stop loss orders were uncovered on a scale down and, the market at times was very active and excited with bear ish sentiment stimulated by reports of lower southern spot markets, big southern spot offerings, and q con- tinued slack demand from the mills. About the only demand seemed to come from old shorts who took profits on big scale at the decline and moderate buying was supposed to be for the ac. count of spinners.
 The favorable weather since the spot condition figures were compiled appears to have increased confidence in the lar ger estimates of the crop. and with re- ports from the south indicating that wagon receipts at the interior points are breaking all records for this sea- son of the year, the heavy southern selling of futures is. attributed to the hedging of daily increasing move- ment In the absence of adequate i'm mediate demand from the mills At least these arguments were advanced during the day by sellers who were predicting still lower prices who were seemed but little impressed by the, talk of better demand for goods.
 Receipts, 90.O0o' today. 6s.s11 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans 9O3S bales against 312 last year. To- days receipts at Houston, 40,9SSagainst 29,735 last year.

 The market was sold heavily and had weak undertone throughout the morn ing session. Reports of heavy ginning and of cotton piing Up in the interior in the absence of good spot demand, stimulated fresh short selling. It was rumored that freight rates at Texas ports were breaking because the export move ment was not as large as expected.

 MORRIS AVENUE All Stocks Except Poultry Show Very Good
 Receipts

Business with the Morris avenue merchants while little quiet yester- day, was little complained of as Mon day is generally an unfavorable day The thoroughfare presented fine dis play of stocks which were augmented by heavy shipments that arrived during the day. The only shortage of stock was that of poultry which was scarcely sufficient to fill orders.
 The meat trade has varied very little in the past two weeks. Business has been about normal, while prices have shown very few marked changes.
 California fruits continue to arrive in large quantities. A carload of Tokay grapes. were received yesterday which are offered at s2 per crate. The pro- duce business is picking up 8 slittle, and the merchants are expecting good trade today.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, September 25.-(Special.)- Heavy offerings from the south brought about a decline in Liverpool. and vas followed by heavy selling here from the same source. AS those who have been looking forward to decline to these prices had brought freely on Saturday, there was only moderate support from spin Eers to absorb the offerings. The decline was practically continuous from the open ing to the close, which was at the low est point. A reaction has been expected by the trade all day as they thought that spinners would be large buyers at pres ent prices. In Europe the spinners have bought more freely than our own spinners, though we hear today of more inquiry from the southern spinners than for some time. Liverpool should be points lower in the morning.

DEPRESSION FELT
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Liquidation Develops on a Bearish Turn in Stocks
 and Cotton

Chicago Sptember 25.-Depression in the wheat market today came as a refiec- ten of weakness in Wall street. The close was sl@7sc to Ao under Saturday nights figures Latest trading left corn 9s@1kc to 5se down; oats off 4@19c and provisions at 71a4221ac down.
 z Considerable liquidation developed among wheat holders, largely for the reason that stocks and cotton had taken a bearish turn Then. besides, there was no prospect of any export business, best bids be- ing several cents below working basis Temporary rallies resulted from reports that northwestern millers were active bu,yers in Kansas, but the effect did not last and the market showed good deal of nervousness for a while. The clos ins. tone, however, was steady During the session December ranged from @Sh aq9Ihc with final sales a407sc net lower at sSssc.
 Corn weakened under selling on the part of discouraged longs. Lower cables formed bearish feature. December tiuc- tuated between 63s4@641zc and 6414@649sc, closing steady 1ec down at 6Ss4c. Cash grades were in good demand; No. fin- iished 6s15Q6Ss4c.
 Oats suffered through sympathy with Aheat. In addition the spot demand was slow. High and low points touched by December were 47ts@47e. with the close 471sc, a net loss of Ac.
 A decline in the hog market carried down provisions. At the end of the day pork had dropped 20 cents and there was a falling off varying from 71sc to 221ac throughout the rest of the list.

New Orleans, September 25.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at a decline of IA to 2S points.

 There was, little demand except from profit taking shorts.
