New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, September 21.--Cotton futures opened steady at a decline of 5 to points on poor cables and the fail- ure of frost to materialize in the west ern belt. Buyers of yesterday turned sellers and around the call the ring found it difficult to absorb offerings readily. At the lowest the trade months were to 8 points down. The forecast of frost for tho Texas panhandle and of showers in the eastern belt where they would prove injurious to the crop caused good buying and the market made quick recovery, standing un- changed to l point up compared with yesterdays close at the end of the first 30 minutes of trading.
 The market had a very steady tone during the greater part of the ses- sion. Shorts were nervous and in clined to cover on the danger of cold CT weather in the western belt over Sunday and their demand for covers was met by only slender offerings. Hedge selling appeared to be very small in spite of the contention of bears that the spot demand was in- significant and that spot owners would be obliged to look to the future mar ket for protection. At the highest of the session prices were II to i3 points over yesterdays last figures.

ANOTHER HIGH
 RECORD IN STEEL Market Advances Quickly on Volume of Business
 for the Week-End

New York, September 21.-On volume of business uncommonly large for week end today's stock market advanced quick ly.
 The movement was less broad. specula- ton centering around the favorites, ruch as United States Steel. which established another high record for the year. Read ing and Union Pacific, Lehlgh Valley rose smartly on advices pointing to ex- cellent trade conditions. This was shown not only in the company's August state ment, with a net increase of s2SSooo. but in the unprecedented demand for anthra- cite coal in the west at higher prices.
 Steel was assisted by the higher price for pig iron and certain finished products. Other industrials that manifested marked strength, included General Electric, Smelling, and some of the metal shares.
 In the special class American Tobacco moved irregularly and Goodrich pre- ferred lost over points.
 Routine news was favorable. Proof of increased freight movement in the west was furnished by the great reduction In the number of idle cars compared with laSt year.
 Trading in London and on the continen- tai exchanges was much restricted by req son of the Jewish holiday. but London was a moderate purchaser here. Private cables from London suggest that moro engagements of gold for shipment to this country are in the making.
 The bank statement, showed an actual cash loss of s1, 3s3 900. "a loan contraction e1 over 100000. and an increase of sS,- y1 $50 in the reserves, the excess now be- ing s7,s7l $50 against $s619.750 last week. Non-member banks and trust companies increased loans by slightly over s2,2CO,oOo

 The outcome in corn varied from }ac decline to Ac advance, oats finishing isg isc down to s4c higher and provisions less costly by shade to l5QlI1ac. Cold, wet weather northwest brought a mid session rally in the wheat market but at other times the prevailing influence came from disappointing cables and the pilins up of primary receipts. Exporters said foreign business was out of the question with even q further break Of one cent here. Corn elevator holdings of wheat in the Dakotas and Minnesota appeared ann pie to avert any stoppage in the crop movement. Weakness of the corn market also hindered the wheat bulls December ranged from slA@sl7sc with last sales lsc

 The local feeling continues heafish ex- pecting that the pressure cf the move rnent will bring about lower prices. They feel as though the deterioration had been checked, that while the weather promisea to become wet and cold, the opposite oi last seq son. that the course of rrices VIII be toward lower level. They have not changed their attitude during the past month though prices have gradually ad- vaneed.

FROST PREDICTION
 IN COTTON MARKET No Very Heavy Buying Re sults-Moderate Rally
 Barely Sustained

New York. September H.-The cotton market received it's first official frost prediction of thet season today, but no very heavy buying developed, and mod crate rally was barely maintained, with the close steady, net l point higher to points lower.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to decline of l point under week end realizing Prices eased off to net loss of or points on the active months during the first few minutes, but when the western belt forecast was issued calling for colder weather and frost the selling became less active and the market rallied to about yesterdays closing on covering or some fresh buying for long accounts. The talk. however reflected little appre- hension that the temperature would ma- terially hurt the crop and the market in the later trading was unsettled, with the close or points off from the best.

London. September N.--During the week on the stock exchange business was gen orally small, with occasional bursts of activity in the specialties, making changes irregular while the undertone remained steady. Investment business was checked by trade activity, in which all the available floating cash was fully employed while a large increase in spec ulative business was prevented by fears of dearer metal condition in the near future.
 The feature of the week was smart rise in Peruvian corporation stocks on reorganization rumors. Canadian rails at tracted attention and iron and steel shares were steadily absorbed on the rising prices of the metal, but Marconl shares weakened under competition fears. and home rails failed to respond to fa- vorable traffic reports.
 American securities were shade more active on good crop and trade reports and closed firm at advances ranging from 1 to points.
 The money market is well supplied with funds and discount rates have been stead fly maintained on the continued gold ex- ports

 New York, September 21.-The Finan- cier will say:
 The statement made by the clearing house banks of New York for the week ending September 21. was exceptionally favorable, in as far as reserve posi- tion was concerned. The banks con- tinue loan cultailments, the decrease for the week in that item having been $21. 1000. The heavy outflow of cash seems to have been checked tempor- arily The decrease in specie and legals since last Saturday was only $1,S83. 900. In consequence of the loan reduction and the cash decrease deposits fell $23,245, 900 and since this released near ly s6.000.000 of reserve funds, the sur present excess above the 25 per cent minimum s3,761.600.
 The above figures are based on the statement of actual condition at the close of business Saturday. The state- ment figured on the system of daily averages showed material differences In increases and decreases. but the sur plus revenue, calculated on the aver age system, stands at $6,597,900. The Independent statement made by the trust companies revealed the fact that the bulk of the changes in banking |hgures during the week were tracea- |ble to operations of the clearing house banks proper.
