HEAVY SELLING IN
 COTTON MARKET Prices Feel Effects-Gin- ming Figures Are Large.
 Memphis Sells

New York, September 13.--Cotton prices have felt the effects of heavy selling for both sides of the account. Large spot concerns have sold freely and free of ferings in Liverpool of the actual cotton have also been a noteworthy feature. Also Waldorf-Astoria interests have attacked the market consistently offering blocks Of from 1000 to 25,O0O bales at time. The effect has been to dislodge a good many holdings among smaller traders, which In the aggregate proved large, while some large holdings have also 1t Is understood been taken out. The receipts at Texas points have been large. The ginning fig- ures issued by the census bureau owl dently impressed many as relatively large. Liverpool has sold here. So have Wall street and western houses
 Memphis and apparently the southwest have at times sold freely. From many points of the belt favorable reports have been received including sections where dry, hot weather was supposed to be doing harm. Liverpool spot sales have been small. Spinners have bought the actual cotton sparingly In this country Bears contend that the crop looks like 100000, and that with supplies carried over from last year and increased crops in India and Egypt stocks will be so lib- eral that prices must decline. On the other hand many reports insist that a good deal of shedding is resulting from continued hot dry weather over much of the belt that the deterioration usual in August Is going on now, and that the crop is not likely to exceed 13,500,0O0 bales if indeed 1t reaches such figures. Bulls maintain that the indications point to q worlds consumption of American cotton of 100000 bales or more, so that the splnishable quality of the last crop was not so large as has been generally sup posed, and that with general trade awak- ening to greater activity for five years past on both sides of the Atlantic and raising 70 per cent of the worlds crop here, there is every likelihood of higher prices. especially after the first pressure of the receipts is over.
 Parts of North Carolina, South Caro- lima. Georgia and Alabama need rain. Temperatures in most states have recent ly been noticeably above normal.

WHEAT LAC OVER
 THURSDAY AT CLOSE
Revivification of Export Helps Advance-Prices
 Higher From Start

Chicago. September 1S-Revivification of export helped bring about wheat's ad- vance. The market was Ac over last night at the close. Late trade left corn ranging from 14c down to like amount higher, oats with a gain of AGs9c to ssc and provisions irregular from 5q7iac down to rise of 1oc.
 Wheat prices were higher from the start The fact that foreign demand was still appreciable, with power to withstand exceptionally high ocean freight rates, gave a decided impetus to prices. Bullish cables furnished the cue to traders and nulified fears of heavy world shipments. German crop advices seemed in particu- lar of a sort to alarm shorts There were disturbing reports also of diminishing stocks in Argentina Rains northwest. which stopped threshing. added to the difficulties of the bears and milling de- mand was good. Much of the business in the wheat pit came from buyers who yes- terday were urgent sellers. No attention was paid to signs of coming increase in the United States visible supply. De- cember fiuctuated between so1kc and 9l1ac with last sales 91Ac, an advance of 7sc compared with last night. Offerings of corn proved limited except on hard spots
 Although trade In September was small a sudden upturn for that option alarmed shorts in other months and made the tone firm despite weather conditions that fla vored the growing crop. December ranged between 51ssQ5l&c, and 52..c, closing 1sc net higher at 51%c. Cash grades were only in moderate demand. No. yellow was quoted at 72Q73ikc. Failing off. in re- eeipts a hint that prices were not satis- factory to the farmer had tendency to lift oats. Upper and lower levels reached by December were 32ssQ321ac, and 32B@ 32Ac. The close 32ssc, showed gain of Ac net. Packers sold January provisions but sustained nearby deliveries. This re- suited in keeping prices within 10c either way of last nights close.

SOCIAL DEMOCRATS MEET NEXT SUNDAY Will Be Greatest Political Gathering of Year in
 Germany

Berlin Germany September 13.- The greatest political gathering in point of numbers and in many respects the most important of the year will begin at chamnitz Saxony. on Septem- Der 15. when the social democrats gather for their annual general meet ing. Here officers will be elected, party differences adjusted and the plans of campaign for the enusing year planned. Present indications are that the meeting will be marked by many ship questions. Chairman contests will be numerous as many candidates propose changes in the party statutes All the party leaders of whatever fac ton deny existence of important diff ferences within the party on business lines. Resolutions looking to the changes of the party organization af- firm it. Back of them, although no one in authority will admit, lies 2 movement to take from the present leaders of the organization great part of the power now vested in them by en- larging important committees. creating new checks upon existing offices and restricting the predominant faction. The resolutions refer in the main to internal party relations. It is improb- able that changes of moment will be made, all wings of the party being fair ly united on agrarian pursuits al- though differing as to methods of pro- cedure. The enrolled memberships of the party is nearly 100000. Of this .00O are women.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, September 13.-(Special. )--Be- hind the advance of the market today was the slowly increasing demand from the spinners, who have been waiting for cotton to decline on the increasing re- celpts and who do not like the reports of deterioration coming to hand from the south. While this may only be the usual August deterioration coming in September. 1t comes SO late in the month that it leaves little time for the plant to recuperate unless the frost date should be unusually late At the opening the market hesitated because of the showers in Oklahoma, then gathered strength from Liverpool on a continental demand, with some American buying supposed for the shorts in this market. The close was at the best. There is decidedly more confidence in the strength of the mar ket, though the undertone is as yet of timid character because of the fre- quent sharp declines from this level. Liv- erpool is due to come about 6ia points higher in the morning.

bLENESS IN STOCKS MORE PRONOUNCED
Total Output Smallest in Two Weeks-Money Situ-
 atiOn Less Obtrusive

New York, September 13.-The only ap- teciable difference between today's stock barket and the earlier sessions of the
 Feek lay in the greater idleness. Irao- hg in the first three hours ran under loo'-
 0 shares and the total output was the mallest in two weeks. The money situ- ton was less obtrusive as factor, call honey reaching 3 per cent as against ols CT cent yesterday. The bulk of the loans bday were made under per cent. There
 as some further calling of loans. This esulted from the steady cash outflow of 1e week, estimated at between s7,ooo,oOo nd ss,OOOOOo. There were many rumors or impending gold imports based largely on |rivate cables from London and the work hgs of foreign exchange, but so far as las ascertainable negotiations are still In he tentative stage.
 The movement of stocks for the most .art of the session was in keeping with he unusual lethargy noticably. In the Ast hour the list moved upward to a oint well above last nights final quota
 ons. Among the few features of decided trength were Louisville and Nashville md Southern Railway preferred. The
 se in the latter stock came shortly be- |ore the announcement that the directors | ad restored the dividend to the per ent rate, which prevailed for the five ears preceding the panic of 1907. Other |ssues that rose a point or more included eaboard Air Line, St. Louis Southwest . .rn, Consolidated Gas General Electric ! nd some of the tobacco group.
