NEW ORLEANS, September Got
ton futures opened steady at an ad-
vance Of 12a16 points on good cables
Liverpool refusing to follow the de-
cline on this side of the water yester-
day afternoon. The market was nerv-
Gus and unsettled in the early trading
with little else but the Clarke bill be-
Ing discussed. After the call prices
were 15a20 points up. but buying was
spasmodic and apparently chiefly from
scalpers. Short selling in volume came
In and there was a quick fall Of to il
points. but Liverpoops influence was
strong and at the end of the first
half hour Of business prices were II to
10 points over yesterdays close The
weather map indicated only insignifi-
cant rains in the western belt, but the
forecast promised showers for Texas

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, September 6.-Frost in Can
ada and rain in Minnesota and North
Dakota helped give the wheat market
today an upturn, after an early dip. The
easy feeling at the outset was attributed
to lower quotations at Liverpool. An &C
tive commission demand developed, but
there was quite free selling on the ad-
vance. First prices ranged from AaA of
to a shade advance, with the rally ex-
tending to Aass to i5ass above last night s
level.
Dry. hot weather put strength into corn,
despite a forecast Of the breaking Of the
wave of excessive temperature. The mar
ket opened unchanged to 70 higher, and
continued to advance.
Oats rose with corn. Demand was of a
miscellaneous sort, but on liberal sale.
Provisions hardened. owing to an ad-
vance at the yards and because Of the
action Of coarse grain. Trade. though,
was rather light.

The market was less active, but con-
tinued nervous and unsettled owing to
the Washington news regarding the pro-
posed tax on trading in cotton futures.
The opening was firm It an advance of
13 to u points in response to strong
cables. Active months sold p to q
points net higher shortly after the call
on trade buying and covering. Scattering
liquidation continued heavy. however,
and the market later eased of to within
