COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept 21.--Storm and
frost talk only sufficed to sustain
prices today at somewhat higher
level than justified by Liverpool ca
bles. That market refused to follow
the steadiness displayed In New YORK
yesterday, and, from the fact that
spot prices in Liverpool were un-
changed, cables were not regarded as
an Important market influence!
Transactions in cotton contracts
have been in limited volume during
the week. Influences have been more
widely construed and the preponder-
ance of opinion has been rather
against higher levels, though the mar
ket has been fairly well sustained.
The price range has been narrow and
perhaps variations OF thirty points
would about cover the movement for
the week.
AS far as We can read the crop news
of the past week. we would call ii
favorable to the picking and market
ing of the crop, but not to the further
development and new growth wnlch
would lead 70 results over the Vest

Of nothing but deterioration and pre-

was the feature Of the day and IT
proved to be the factor as we'll The
fact that frost failed to appear In the
corn belt Friday night. and that it was
forced to give way by the rains, was
probably the cause of the heavy sell
ing of corn. The larger deliveries of
wheat on September contract drove
many holders of that future out of
their position, as there is little de-
mand for cash wheat at the moment.
and the average specuator will be
obliged to carry the grain delivered
TO him. While the Armour people
secured profits in selling wheat and
corn the buying was led by those also
having profits There were many,
however. on both sides OF those mar
kets to suffer fosses for the day.
When the fact is considered that
large quantities of corn were thrown
overheard today the market showed
great resisting power. 1t has been
said all along that farmers held very
little corn, but when the primary
markets showed receipts of 5.304. goo
bushels this week, which was nearly
double those of the corresponding pc
Rod year ago, II may be said there Is
more corn available in the belt than
the bulls care TO acknowledge.
With the largest crop of oats on
record at our very doors, that cereal
continued to show more strength than
any of the other markets. Shorts were
buyers of the September future, and

Nerculaneum has not been excayated
to the same extent as Pompeii is ow.
Ing to the fact that 1t was covered
with much harder material than was
Pompeii; the dust predominating in
Pompeii. while the lava prevailed over
Hercuianeum. There is not much

of both cities. Human curiosity. TO-
