NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, September 19-Cotton
futures opened steady at decline of 4 to q
points on poor cables and dry weather in
the western portion of the cotton belt,

bearish comment was caused by the ia
vorable change in weather conditions.
The forecast called for continued dry
weather in the western belt but at the

NAVY YARD SITE UNDECIDED
Secretary Daniels May Be Consider
ing Pacific Coast Needs.

Secretary Daniels. who yesterday in
spec ted the site at Communipaw, n. j..
which was recommended by Rear Ad-
miral Van Duzer for a navy yard which
eventually would supplant the yard at
New York city. today said he would not
decide for the present what his recon-
mendatton would be. He also declined
to say whether he thought the need of
a yard at Communipaw was more
pressing than the enlargement of some
of the Pacific coast yards.
1t is said that this latter consideration
may have a bearing on the decision re-
garding the proposed Communipaw yard,
which. it is expected would cost at least
$25.000.000. The plans for the yard
contemplate the building of slips for
current at the New York yard. only two
battleships can be accommodates there
at a time.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, September 19.-Apparent Ger
tainty that wheat and flour would be on
the free list made wheat prices here today
heavy. Resting commission orders to buy
at a decline formed the only support.
Predictions of free Russian shipments
counted against the bulls, and SO. too. did
the good crop outlook in Argentina. The
opening was the same as last night to Il
lower, and the market suffered some ad-
ditiOnal setback.
Clear weather favoring shipments from
the farms brought about weakness in
corn. Concerns that were liberal buyers
yesterday led the selling. Prices started
lsah. to Las off, and latef showed a
further sag.
Oats eased in sympathy with other
grain Trade was only of a scattered sort.
Declines in corn and hogs carried down
provisions. First sales were unchanged
to 10 lower. The market. however, gave
no evidence of any particular pressure.
Statements that no shortage in winter
wheat crop acreage need now be feared
acted as drug against any upturn. The
close was steady at prices ranging from
last nights level to IS down
Reports that Argentine corn had been
delivered in Montreal ]. cents cheaper
tnan obtanable from Chicago kept the
market depressed until afternoon. when a
rally took place. the result of buying on
the part of several leading houses. The
close was steady. Las to 4 net higher.
