NEW YORK, Sept 17.-Infiuenced by
a sharp upturn in Liverpool, the cotton
market opened firm to-day at net ad-
vance of 16 to 20 points from Tues
days close Some private cables at
tributed the rise in Liverpool to Ameri-
can and cont ent buying, based on bad
crop news from Texas; also bears turn
ing to bulls However ii was obvious
that news of crop damage had consid-
cradle influence in the local market.
Immediately after the opening a wave
of profit taking, attributed to commits
sion houses and the ring, caused prices
10 work to points under the initial
range. With the cables to create senti-
ment in their favor, the bulls made a
concentrated effort to advance the mar
ket after the call In this they sue
ceeded, the list rallying to the opening
range. There was news of cooler
weather in Oklahoma and part cloudy
TO cloudy weather in the rest of the
belt; also light precipitation over the
Western States, but further rains in
the eastern half Of the belt
Spot people were credited with buy
ing contracts and the bulls maintained
more confident position and advised
purchases, predicting IA cents this week.
II looked to unprejudiced observers as
II the market was hard to bull over
above IL cents there is heavy selling
and prices react to that level.
The market was heavily purchased
during the afternoon session based on
unfavorable reports from the western
States prices, however, failed to bulge
to any extent from the early high mark,
but II was noticeable that bull leaders
were adding to their lines and that
there was buying by the smaller fry,
who are inclined to the belief that the
market trends higher. Predictions of
clearing weather failed to disturb the
market and the close was firm with
prices at a net advance of 81 to 25

CINCINNATI, Sept. 17.--Reports from
correspondents. based on conditions ex-
listing September l. Indicate the lack OF
rainfall has interfered with fall plow-
ing.
The crop has suffered further deteri-
grafton during the past two weeks and
production will be materially reduced
because of the rapid maturing OF grain
on account Of extreme hot weather dur
ing the past month. and there will un-
doubtedly be a larger percentage Of bar
rem stalks than the average, and the
crop will include many nubbins and ears
that are not well filed at tops and
bulbs and the corn will be more or less
chafy
II is believed that the corn crop will
not exceed 2250, 900 900 for the country
at large, and may fall below that mark.
The States OF Ohio, Indiana Illinois,
Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska will
this year constitute the entire surplus
corn producing territory, and western
Nebraska will have a very small sur
plus

will be used for feeding is reported as

Grain Notes

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: Sen
tlment in the wheat trade continues
mostly bullish, but those who believe in
higher prices are not looking for much
of an advance right away. They say
that the pressure from cash property is
very small and cuts no figure at pres
ent.
1T was the belief of most corn trad
ers last night that the market has had
its break for the present Ii was no
ticeable that after prices started up
number Of local professionals who had
been out Of the market for several days
waiting for the market to break came
in and bought literally"
Bartlett Frazier Co. says: Wheat
We continue to look for a rather dull
but hardening market,
"Corn-We look for lighter receipts
within a week and a continuance of
Eastern demand.
"Oats-The market is showing a very
steady tone. with very little pressure.
We think the large supplies in sight
will gradually decrease.
"Provistons-While the near futures
seem to be under more or less liquida-
ton. the deferred months are holding
steady, with a fair Investment demand.

NEW REVOLT IN
CHINESE ARMY
Men of Three Regiments Kill Their
Officers in the Name OF
Sun Vat Sen.

Pekin. Dec. 30.--A revolt of three reg
iments of the Chinese army under the
leadership of General Yang Hupin is re-
ported from Tali-fu, in the far south
western province of Yunnan, about lVo
miles from the frontier of Burma.
The soldiers on Dec. 8 shot down their
officers. raided the armory, killed pro-
lessor and several students of the
Chinese college, as well as number OF
citizens, and then proclaimed the indie.
pendence of the province in the name Of
Dr. Sun Vat Sen, former provisional
president of China.
No foreigners were molested and the
mutineers themselves protected the
chapel belonging to the China Inland
mission, the school attached to which
was soon filled with wounded and dying
Panic reigned for a fortnight in the
city, but then force of loyal troops ar
rived, stormed and recaptured the place,
routing the mutineers.
Yang Hu-pin was surprised and
burned to death in a house where he
was hiding in neighboring village.
The surrounding country is said TO be
terrorized by the remaining mutineers
who have looted many places. A col
umn of loyal troops has been dispatched
from Yunnan-fu to restore order.
