COTTON CLOSED
At n POINTS UP
Opened at Decline of 2 to 5
Points, But More Active
Spot Demand Sent Prices
Up 1o Points.
ti3y the Associated PYese,S

New York, Sept. AFTER making
some new high ground for the move
ment this morning cotton market
eased off from the best under real
izing but closed steady with last prices
from 8 to IA points above the fnal
prices Of yesterday.
The opening was steady at a de
cline Of 2 to s points in keeping with
tower Liverpool cables, while scat
tered selling may also haV been in
spired to some extent by reports Of
rain in parts Of the eastern belt. The
offerings we're by no means heavy or
aggressive, however. and shortly after
the call the market became firm on
covering by recent sellers and fresh
buying for long account. There were
numerous reports of rapid crop de-
terioration in south Texas while there
were also adVices Of a more active
spot demand on that section of the
belt and these bullish features seemed
TO be creating a more general demand
around the local ring. At any rate.
prices solo up sharply with December
contracts advancing to 11.75, or -
points above the closing figure of yes
terday and practically $3.50 per bale
above the recent low record. The
continued presence of a low barome-
ter in the East Gulf probably account
ed for part Of the demand as it led
to some comment regarding the posi-
bility Of storm developments yer
Sunday. but realizing became more
active in the late trading and closing
prices we're 6 to 8 points off from
the best in consequence.
Estimated receipts, 24,7SS bales
against 1857 last week and 28,781
last year. Today's receipts at Calves

HAD FULL
WEEK OF DULLNESS
Diminished Attendance of
Members Exchange Led to
Low Ebb of Business: Bonds
Improve Some.
tby the Associated TteN

New York. Sept. The dullneS
ana lrregularity of the stock market
today was in keeping with the preced-
ing days Of the week, the low ebb Of
business being a natural outcome Of
the diminished attendance Of mem
bers Of the exchange and the absence
or demand from outside sources. In
effect, the two-hour session represent
cd little more han the usual week
end settlement of contracts entered
into by the professional element in
which a faction Of formidable
tons seems to have arrayed itself on
the selling side.
At the outset there was a renewal
Of recent pressure upon Canadian Pa
ci1c, United States Steel and Union
Pacific, while other representative
stocks moved within the .ircum-
scribed limits.
Trading came to an absolute half
before the end Of the first hour. af-
ter which the market moved inertly
except for a sudden squirt in the en-
tire copper group, which probably had
its basis in the expectation of a ia
vorable statement by the producers
association next Monday. The bal
ance of the list rose in sympathy, 10
Hterating most losses and substituting
numerous material signs.
An actual cash loss Of s10,345,0 600.
or more than double the highest est
mate, was the striking feature Of The
bank statement. which also showed {;
$2S, 600, 600 Joan contraction, thereby
largely offsenJng the previous weeks
unfaVorable showing. The surplus re-
serve decreased by a little more than
$l,SO0,OOO net deposits contracting by
$39,117,O00.
There was further pressure against
certain bone issues but in the main
the general tone was improved.
L. S. bonds were unchanged in the
week.
Total sales Of stocks for the da,
were 121, 100 shares, including tn
