PANIC THREATENS
COTTON MARKET
Political Situation in Wash
ington Causes Much
Excitement

New york. September 5.-The cotton
market was thrown into a state border
ing upon a panic in the late session ow-
nes to reports from Washington that the
democratic caucus of the Senate had
approved the proposed tax of lilo OF one
cent pound on trading in cotton futures
The market had been more or less nerN-
Gus and unsettled before the Washing
ton news was received, but early losses
had been recovered and the market was
fairly steady with prices a shade above
last nights closing prices in the early
afternoon This was soon changed, how
ever. by the renewed fear of adverse leg
islatiou and in the last half hour cotton
came on the market from all directions
Prices broke fully 50 per bale from the
best point of the day, and the close was
feverish at a net loss of 80 to AZ points.
Later advices from Washington were
rather more favorable indicting proposed
tax had only been approved after sharp
debate in caucus, and predicting that the
bill would meet strong opposition In con-
ference, and after the New York close
there was sharp rally In New Orleans
where prices had also suffered sensa-
decline of 9 to IL points under realizing
and in sympathy with relatively easy
ca ables. Liverpool reported that the mar
ket there had been influenced by hedge
selling as contrasted with a moderate
trade demand, and local offerings were
probably promoted by reports that the
south was selling freely yesterday on an
easier basis. There was good demand
on the declined however, and after sell
ing about Ia to 10 points net lower during
the morning the market rallied on the
detailed weather report showing continued
dry, hot weather in Oklahoma, renewed
bull support, trade buying, and covering
shorts. Prices not only recovered their
early loss, but sold or points net high
er, and the Generalization of the last
hour was attributed directly to the un-
settling influence of the pending tax
bill.

BREAK FOLLOWS
NEWS FROM CAPITAL

Overheard Follow Sen
ate Caucus Action

New Orleans, September 5.-The main
feature of the day in cotton was the break
that followed. news from Washington that
the Senate democratic caucus had refused
to reconsider its approval of the Clark
amendment to the tariff bill. which i'm

ton. a break of 30 points, or a dollar and
a half a bale. followed the fash from
Washington and much long cotton vas
thrown overheard Bulls offered support
and a temporary reaction took place, but
it was followed by a still wider break
than the first during which prices were
sent about so points under the level pre-
vailing just before the kilograms from
Washington were received and "a to IS
points under yesterdays close. At the
lowest the weakest month on the boards
was almost exactly 50 a bale under the
last quotations OF yesterday. Toward the
close considerable buying was done, much
of 1t being apparently by shorts The
market closed steady at the decline at
net loss for the day of "a to 40 points
The action of the Senate caucus caught
the market at almost the highest of the
day, although several rather wide down.
ward movements took place earlier in
the session. The opening was steady with
prices showing losses of to 12 points on
poor cables. After the call prices stood
10 to IA points down but continued un-
favorable weather conditions In the west
and the forecast of fair weather for Tex-
as and Oklahoma caused buying which
put prices to within or points of yes
terdays close. Hedge selling caused a
sag of IL to IA points under yesterday
close around the middle of the morning
but this was not we'll sustained. Unfa-
vorable reports from Arkansas created
buying movement and in the early aft
ernoon the market stood to 3 points
over yesterdays final figures. The mar
Set had an upward tendency when the
Washington kilograms were received.

PRICES DOWN WITH
NERVOUS FINISH
Disappointing Gables Cause
Wheat Bulls to Lose
Courage

Chicago, September 5.-Disappointins

finish with prices down 5sasad1c net. Corn

varied from 10c loss to an advance Of
cents.
Holders of wheat showed a pronounced
disposition to take profits and 80 slow.
Foreign adviees, especially from Liver-
pool were not nearly so strong as ex-
terday on this side. 1t was explained
that Russian offers were more liberal and
that there was increased selling pressure
from Canada. also Minneapolis and
Duluth sent word of generous arrivals
and it was evident that the weather In
all directions favored marketing of the
new crop.
Apparent absence of export call acted
as decided drag. but after the close Bal
timore announced 30 loads taken for ocean
shipment, a fact which if known earlier
in the day undoubtedly would make con-
siderable difference in final prices here.
Corn futures weakened with wheat.

Commission houses bought on the dip and

Provisions scored fairly good advance
with hogs, but the larger packers were
active sellers on the bulge and caused
an irregular reaction. Investment cal
for deferred months was not up to the
recent total.

SHARP RISE IN THE
HARTMAN SHARES
More Than 80 Per Cent of
Union Pacific's Holdings
of Southern Subscribed

Nav York, September 5.-The tide
turned in the stock market today and
prices gained generally after a steady
decline IN the earlier days of the week.
1t required no great amount OF buying
to bring about the upturn The stead
mess with which the list responded to
moderate bidding indicated that the
weeks selling had been largely pro-
fessional and that 1t had expanded the
snort interest to a point which made
1t vulnerable. The rise was regarded
merely as "A natural rebound from the
previous decline and there was no evil
dence of awakening interest on the
long side of the market. The uncertain
outlook for the money market and un-
favorable crop reports were Sufficient
to restrain bullish enthusiasm.
Aside from the strong technical po-
sition of the market the most potent
factor in bringing about the rise was
the announcement that more than 80
per cent of Union Pacifcs holdings of
southern Pacific had been subscribed
for instead of about so per cent as was
at first estimated by the underwriters.
The Hartman shares rose sharply on
the announcement.
Gains of many important stocks ran
from ! TO 2 points, though they were
scaled down fractionally by profit tax
Ing during the afternoon. Copper shares
We're favored by the advance in metal

Movements of currency in the last
day or two were less against the banks
than earlier in the week and forecasts
of the bank statement indicated a
smaller cash loss thar expected. A loss
of s1,500,000 was suggested by avail
able figures. Call money did not go
above 3 per cent today compared with

COTTON MARKET IS
EXTREMELY ACTIVE
Heavy Realizing EncOun-
tered-Large Amounts
Absorbed

New York September 5.--The cotton
market has had one of the most active
and excited weeks since the short crop
tally prepared the trade for bullish
condition figure and before tile Sep
tember bureau was published last
Tuesday, the market had advanced 81
per bale, or more from the low level
of August, owing to a reaction in popu-
lar views of the yield. The official
condition of 6S.2, however was even
more bullish than had been expected
and caused one of the most sensational
advances that has ever been recorded
on government report day. Heavy
realizing was naturally encountered,
but the revision of crop views was so
radical and general that large amounts
of cotton were absorbed at steadily
advancing prices until on Wednesday
December contracts sold at 1885, or
$3.50 per bale above the recent low
record. The market then developed a
somewhat reactionary tendency and
late today became almost demoralized
by reports from Washington causing
renewed apprehension that the cotton
futures tax bill might possibly be
passed in its original form. Prices
crumbled away almost as rapidly as
they had advanced under the threat
OF such action, losing 1915 of the adj
vance, most of the reaction occurring
in the last half hour of today's session.
As the action of the market would
suggest, sentiment has become unusual
ly nervous and unsettled. Mathematical
ly speaking. figures indicate a crop of
less than 13,500,000 bales, while annual
trade statistics indicate last years ac-
tual consumption had been 14,900, 900
bales, furnished a basis for very bullish
comparisons of probable supply and re-
quirements. On the other hand 1t was
realized that the short interest had
been much reduced on the big advance
of the last two weeks and reports of a
continued slack demand from spinners,
caused some doubt as to the market s
ability to absorb the early new crop
movement.
