COTTON WEAKENS
TOWARD THE CLOSE
Shorts Are Large Sellers; !;
Weaker Longs Inclined
to Liquidate

New Orleans, September 1S.-The cotton
the early trading today. but in the late
afternoon the steadiness was replaced by
weakness due partly to the forecast of
generally fair weather for the western
half of the cotton region and partly to the
report from Washington that the cur
reney bill had passed. Shorts were large
sellers and the weaker longs were in
clined to liqudate.
The market opened steady at an adj
vance of to points on good cables AMI
continued rainy weather in the cotton
belt. After the call the market stood y
to 10 points up. This was the high of the
day Longs took profits on rather a large
scale on the rise and shorts were encour-
aged by the forecast Private messages
from Liverpool also were very bearish,
reporting heavy cancellations of cloth
contracts in Manchester, although the
official cables from that market reported
an increased demand for cloths.
Throuhout the morning the bears were
l. I'D in check by reports of seed sprout-
ing in cotton bolls in Texas, Louisiana
and Mississippi. The forecast of far
weather. however, was called important
and led to increased selling as the day
grew older. The reported passage of the
currency bill was considered bearsh
feature.
The market finally fell to a level of IL
to IA points under Yesterdays last quota
tions. The close was steady at this level.

HEAVY REALIZING
IN COTTON MARKET
After Setting New High
Records for the Season
Prices Ease Off

New York, September 1S.--There was
heavy realizing in the cotton market
today and after making new high
records for the season under a renewal
of Yesterdays buying movement prices
eased off, closing barely steady at net
decline of to points.
There was quite an excited demand
at the start owing to higher Liverpool
cables, larger English spot sales, con-
tinued crop complaints and yesterdays
late reports of finer southern spot
situation. The market opened steady
at an advance of to Is points with
December contracts selling at 1S40, or
S3.65 per bale above the low level of
Friday, and 5 points above the best
figure previously reached since the pub
lication of the September bureau. A
good deal of the demand seemed to be
on overnight buying orders which We're
readily executed at the new high level
of prices. however, and the market soon
turned easier under Liverpool, local and
southern selling. On a break of 2 or
10 points from the best there was good
buying and prices rallied several points
but on each bulge there appeared to be
long cotton for sole and the market
weakened again during the afternoon
under general realizing and scattered
selling for reaction. Closing prices
were the lowest of the day. Prospects s
for clearing weather in the south led
to predictions of an increased move
ment and freer southern offerings,
which may have contributed to the re-
dictionary tendency, while part of the
selling may also have been inspired by
reports that the labor situation in Eng
land was becoming more unsatisfactory.
Private cables attributed the advance
in Liverpool to small offerings, cover
ing and trade buying, but claimed that
trade activities from Manchester We're
unfavorable and that the higher prices
asked were checking business in yarns.
Reports from the domestic goods trade
continued to indicate an active and ad :
yanefng market, although some of the
local spot people say that American
spinners are showing very little inter
est at prevailing prices, and are hold
ing off for the offset of better weather
and increasing receipts.

WHEAT CLOSES WEAK
1-2C TO SIC UNDER
Owners Unload Rapidly
Moved by News of Thresh-
ing in Canada

Chicago, September 1S.-Wheat owners
here who have been troubled by the out
look for heavy shipments. duty free, to
this country from Canada, unloaded to-
day with increasing vigor, moved by news
that threshing north of the International
boundary was being completed much
earlier than in former years. The mar
ket closed weak. 1s@ss under last night.
Corn lost 1s45sc net and oats ss@4c to &c.
In provisions the outcome ranged from
35c decline to 121sc advance.
Adyices from the Canadian northwest
indicated that wheat threshing was like
ly to be finished by October l. In other
seasons a great deal of the crop there
ther Encouragement for the bulls lay
in statement that the Canadian farmers
were marketing freely, being well pleased
with prices and grading, whereas dis
patches from Minneapolis told of many
cars carried over unsold from the pre-
vious> day.
Only at the outset was there any show
of strength Higher cables and light
receipts northwest formed the reason, but
the trade soon decided there was more
than an offset in the fact that the ltal-
ian crop instead of being short would
surpass the highest record of recent years.
Corn developed weakness after strong
start. Liverpool reported Argentine corn
was being purchased there for the United
States but the bullish effect of this news
went awry because of uneasiness regard
ing continued liberal arrivals in Chicago.
There was much profit taking and the
market was further weakened by sur
prisingly beafish crop estimate from a
we'll known expert.
Oats followed corn. Eastern call was
slim and there was fairly good selling
on speculative account.
Provisions in the main were higher,
with hogs. September pork was an ex-
ception, making freakish decline of 80
cents without finding any ready takers.

SPECULATION DRAGS
IN UNCERTAIN WAY
Union Pacific Leads During
Final HOur-Money Rates
Unchanged

New, York, September 1S.--Speculation
dragged along in an uncertain way today,
no important movements save in a few
stocks until the last hour of trading. At
that time buying became more active and
the market rose sharply. Union Pacific
shares led the advance both the common
and preferred scoring rapid advances.
The recent course of stocks led to con-
fusion of speculative sentiment, which
was reflected in the hesitation displayed
during most of the day. The extended
rise of last week and the subsequent re-
action left the market in position re-
garding which there was division of
opinion as to whether the reaction mere
ly represented a pause in a prolonged
rise or signified the end of the upward
movement.
Both theories were tested. Finding oper-
ations on either side of the market equal
ly Improbable, traders virtually aban-
doned. their efforts and business all but
ceased. When Union Pacific resumed
the leadership in the last hour, however,
the list made better response.
New Haven broke 2ls points to another
low level at S5ls, although it subsequently
rallied. Petroleum stocks again moved
violently. Mexican Petroleum dropped 3
points, California Az points and Califor-
MIA preferred points. Later they de-
veloped better tone and Mexican scored
q full recovery.
Local banks and trust companies to-
day began to shift loans preliminary to
October / requirements, which likely are
to be unusually large, and gain in
the surplus is expected-as result. Money
rates were unchanged but a hardening
tendency for the longer periods is not
improbable before the end of the month.
Foreign exchange made some recovery
from its recent decline.
The late advance In stocks pulled up
the speculative bonds after the market
had shown downward tendency. Total
sales, par value, s2,100.000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call The Is

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, September 1s.-(Special) }
Our kilograms stated the increased vol
ume of sales in Liverpool today to- be
due to a demand for staples from other
growths of cotton.
That market showed an advance of
some points more than due but from
the opening the trade has been looking
for reaction on the idea that the adj
vance OF the past three days had been
too rapid and so a setback was to be
expected.
On this theory there was a large vol
ume of realizing sales under the pressure
of which prices finally receded some 6
or 6 points below last evenings close.
The opinion expressed was that with
clear weather over the southwest that
a more cheerful view would be taken
of crop conditions. Therefore, the local
trade looks for quick decline in Liver
pool tomorrow.
