NEW WSUPPL|ESFOR
OPENING OF WEEK.
Alabama Alfalfa All in
Wareh0uses-Advance
Expected

Business on Morris avenue started or
in fine shape yesterday morning. The
Saturday sale was n cleanup. but new
supplies arrived Monday and the de-
mand was fairly brisk. The changes in
quotations were few and small.
The Alabama and Mississippi alfalfa
crop is all in the warehouses, accord
ing to W. II. Maxim. aud the western
crop is now being cut In Colorado and
other western states, Mr.. Maxim says,
the crop is going to be short, and he
predicts a high price between now and
the holidays. Alfalfa hay is now quoted
at $26 a ton and it would cause no
surprise IL 1t advanced 81 or more with
in a month. No changes in corn were
registered yesterday The market is
firm on wheat and oats and no changes
We're announced for these commodities
No changes in the price of fish were
made yesterday. The demand continues
to be fair and the supply Is adequate
1t is unusual for fish to remain sta
tiouary for more than three or four
days. but no change has been made for
nearly three weeks. The stationary
market is probably due to the fact
that fish are plentiful, 1t is said.
Produce Is in fine demand and the
supply is well equal. No changes were
made yesterday.

SIX TO EIGHT POINTS
UPON PROFIT TAKING
Prices Open IL to 13 Points
Up Following the Bad
Weather Reports

New Orleans. September 15.--After
opening well above Saturdays close be-
cause of crop damage reports, due to
heavy rains over a large part of the
belt. the cotton market reacted to 6
to points upon profit taking and
after that moved within narrow
range until the close, which was
to points above last figures Satur-.
day.
Reports tath the heavy rains had
beaten cotton out of the bolls and had
injured the grade, made opening prices
IL to 1S points up and soon after the
call the advance had amounted to IA
to is points. Profit taking by longs
became heavy and soon the market had
reacted to to points up. All during
the morning the market was steady
but quiet and each small downward
swing was met by strength that car
ried prices upward again. In the aft
ernoon prices lowered on reports of
more favorable weather over a large
part of the belt and the close was a..
about the lowest point of the day,
to points down.

BIC SHIPMENTS HAVE
DEPRESSING EFFECT
Wheat Closes Heavy, Slight
Decline-Russia Fur
nishes Surprise

Chicago, September 15.-World ship
ments much larger than expected had a
depressing effect today on wheat. There
was a transient rally. but the market
closed heavy at range varying from i
to decline to an advance of a shade.
Corn suffered a final setback of q to
Y and oats finished with a loss of l.
to an equal gain. In provisions the out
come was Irregular, strung out from 10c
off to 1212c up.
Russia furnished most of the reason
for surprise regarding wheat world ship
ments, the forwardings from that coun-
try amounting to almost half the aggre-
gate from all other places combined. For
eign advices also were bearish in the
main, as to the weather and crop situa-
ton. Decided shortage in primary re-
ceipts whefr contrasted with last year
promised for while to give the advan-
tage to the bulls. The fact that notwith-
standing the greatly reduced arrivals
there was still a substantial increase of
the visible supply. however. acted as a
drag on prices
Stocks piling up and eastern buyers
backing away made the corn market in
cline downward except for a half hour or
so at midday Covering BY shorts who
were rendered timid owing to predictions
that the present generous run of ship
ments from the farms would taper off
next week, caused the temporary rally.
Oats followed corn, but seemed to lack
vim.
Packers We're believed to be supporting
nearby options in the provision market.
There was considerable selling of deferred
months and for this scattered longs re-
ceived the credit.

EARLY ADVANCE
EASES OFF LATER
Closes at Lowest Point of
the Day in Cotton
Market

New York. September 15.-After a sharp
early advance on reports of damaging
rains and winds in the south the cotton
market today turned easier under realiz-
ing and southern selling. Prices worked
off to practically the closing figures of
last week in the late trading, with the
close steady. but at practically the low
est point of the day, or net two points
higher to two points lower.
There was an active demand at the
opening and first prices were 10 TO 10
points higher Liverpool was an active
seller here, presumably on the differences,
as the English market was no better than
due on tho New York close of Saturday
and there was considerable selling by spot
house, as we'll as scattered realizing. Of
ferings were very well absorbed during
the early trading and active months sold
10 to 16 points net higher late in the
morning ON the continued covering and
bull support. Around 1S.11e for December
or about $3.50 per bale above the low
level of last Friday. demand seemed to
slacken and the market later was de-
cidedly easier under heavy realizing and
southern selling, which was supposed to
be partly in the way of hedging. There
were many private reports OF damage
from stormy weather in some sections of
the eastern belt as well as in the south
west, and predictions that the additional
moisture would add to the ultimate crop
were generally made contingent on clear
warm conditions with late winter. The
low temperatures shown in parts of
Texas may consequently have helped the
advance, but while there was some trade
buying early support from that source
was not much in evidence later in the
day and there were reports of con-
tinued slack demand from spinners.

Hubbard Bros. & Co. Letter

New York, September 15-(Special)
Further heavy rains throughout the
southwest and a better demand from
the continent advanced Liverpool some
II points over saturday. We followed
until large hedge selling by the buyers
of spots on Saturday afternoon supplied
the demand. Our local traders who feel
the advance has been too rapid
though a reaction was due. so under
the combination of these two forces
the market closed barely steady. hav-
ing lost the entire advance of the day
The feeling here Is that the south Will
now be free sellers and that the spin
ners. despite the low crop condition
figures they are receiving, are not sat
isfied the crop is as short a one as
reported. therefore they Will buy only
from hand TO mouth on any advance,
while on easy markets they viii grad
ually accumulate a supplysItiis thought
that until legislation is out of shc way
speculation Will be timid and net enter
the market Liverpool should decline
4 to points.

REALIZING SALES
CHECKS ADVANCE
Heavy Offerings of Favor
ite Issues Absorbed With
Comparative Ease

New York, September 15-Realizing
fales today checked the advance in stocks
The market absorbed heavy offerings Of
favorite issues NTH comparative ease
and although there were material recess
sons in prices at times, no evidence of
underlying weakness developed.
The favorite stocks were unloaded in
round amounts at the opening. Cana
dian Pacific and Union Pacific fell back
quickly, the exceptionally large gains of
these issues last week having made them
vulnerable. Reading was the only leader
to retain some of its recent strength.
First signs .of recovery from the de-
preston came among the industrlals, in
which speculation grew active after it
became evident that the usual leaders
were inclined to lag. Can for a time was
the market leader and scored two
point gain. Harvester. American Tobac-
and other less known issues were
pushed forward. Gradually the whole
market moved up and In the early after
noon losses among the prominent stocks
had been made up. The recovery was
availed of for further distribution and in
the final hours trading the list fell back.
Copper shares made a temporary show
ing of strength on the announcement that
the price of the metal had been advanced
by some producers to II cents There
was another rise in the London metal
market.
London, which unloaded stocks steadily
on last weeks rise, disposed of 15,0o0
shares on balance here today. Another
unfavorable influence was the stiffening
of money crates, which drew attention to
the fact that the monetary situation vas
not fola to pe al o.
