COTTON MARKET
 TAXES AN ADVANCE
Record Breaking Ginning Crop Does Not Overcome
 Bull Support

New York, September s-The frs, census report of the census showed record breaking ginning of new crop cotton up to September 1, but the bulls seems able to reconcile the figures with their position and after some early ir- regularity there was a sharp advance. Realizing caused a reaction of to 2 points in the late trading. and the market closed barely steady, but at steady gain of to 14 points.
 The opening was steady, generally point higher and active months were soon 12 to 14 points higher than yes terday on covering and bull support which had the encouragement of steady Liverpool cables and continued liberal spot sales in the English market. The ginners' figures exceeded any previous record by about SOO,O0O bales, but the bulls not only argued that they in dicated drouth forced maturity, but also claimed that In connection With the re- cent steadier ruling of southern spot markets they revealed an adequate trade demand. and while a reaction of or points followed the early ad- vance as a result of early realizing, the market turned firmer again before mtd- day. Reports from travelling crop ex- perts indicating severe damage to the crop in the eastern belt from insects, in connection with the failure of the big ginning figures to create selling pressure. seemed to make considerable impression on sentiment and demand broadening on the advance. which car ried December contracts up to 11.70 and active months generally to a net ad- vance of 12 to 15 points. Leading spot interests were sellers of October here, there was moderate southern selling on a scale up and when early local buy CTS turned for profits late in the day prices eased off from the best. Weather conditions were generally regarded as satisfactory in the south, but there were numerous private reports of army and boil weevil worms, particularly in parts of Alabama and Mississippi

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, September S-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of 1 to points on good cables and continued reports of widespread dam age by the army worm in north Mis- sissippi and north Alabama, where it was claimed prospects of a large yield have been seriously cut into. The cen sus report showing 771, ,000 bales of cot ton ginned up to September l, was about as expected, and had little effect on the market, although 1t was called bearish. After the call good buying was in evidence, much of 1t coming from outside sources, and prices were put 6 to 10 points over yesterdays close. Ring traders took profits heavily and at the end of the firts half hour of business prices were 2 to 4 points over yester days last quotations.
 Toward the middle of the morning, heavy buying sprung up, and 1t was said that strong bull interests were in the market, stop loss orders were reach ed on the short side and the filling of these helped the market Official reports showing heavy rains in Okla homa and the forecast of showery weather everywhere in the cotton belt except Texas were regarded as highly unfavorable, and stimulated buyers. At noon prices were 12 points over yester- days close.
 In the afternoon session the mark t was helped by the weekly statistics which showed larger spinners talk ings than expected, the out of sight movement being put at 184,0OO bales against 145,000 this week last year, and 162,0O0 this week two years ago At o'clock prices were II to 15 points over yesterdays close.
 The market closed steady at net. ad- . vance of 6 to 12 points.

WHEAT MARKET
 CLOSES TAMER
Government Report Is Bull ish But Came Too
 Late

Chicago. September s--Although the gov ernment figures on the wheat crop turned out to be bullish, the market here closed easy to Ac lower to Hc up. If the Wash ington report had been available before trading had ended the finish would doubt less have been different. Latest transae- tions showed corn to be 1sc under last nights finals. oats down Ac to ss91sc. and hogs unchanged to 121kc decline.
 It was generally expected the condition Of spring wheat would be put by the gov ernment at about 59 per cent, indicating a crop of 2120oO,000 bushels. Instead the official announcement was 56.7 per cent, the yield would be only 2ss- 100000 bushels. While waiting for the news from Washington, dealers found business light and Fluctuations light. Signs of increased shipments from Rus sia, as well as from India and the Ar gentine made the opening weak. Later, however, the market hardened a little on account of some foreign buying here. It was also rumored that 20 loads had been sold for export to Antwerp. A. contrary prevailed In view of the north west weather conditions, and there was dragging tendency evident when the gong sounded.
 Corn declined owing to belief that the government figures on the crop would be increased. December f1uctuated be- tween 033s@631sc and 64c, closing easy, ssc at 631a@635sc. Cash grades were steaoy; No. 9 yellow was quoted at 66@66Ac.
 Oats were depressed as a result of buying, fearing the result of bearish report on corn.
 Selling by big packers tended to put provisions down. In no case, however, did the decline at the finish exceed 12iac.

STEAMER STRIKES
 ON HIDDEN ROCKS

San Francisco, September. s.-Creeplng into the Golden Gate yesterday through a heavy fog. the eoasting steamer Santa Clara ran upon the submerged Centessima rocks. which government engineers. in a recent search. were unable to find, and for the blowing up of which the last Con- eress made an appropriation. All con- cerned now agree that the rocks are there, but that the marking buoy was misplaced when the official search was made.
 The Santa Clara struck near the spot where the Rio Grande from the Orient sank February 22. 1901, with the loss of 122 passengers. The 120 passengers on the coasting steamer were panic stricken as the ship backed into deep water and began to settle, but ships officers paci- fled them while the wireless operator pounded out the IS. o. S." distress sig nal. The pumps kept down the water. which poured through open seams and twisted stem. and the steamer docked cn-s der her own steam.
