New Orleans. September 2s.--while cot ton still displayed a tendency to ad- yancs today, it showed less strength than ulfing the last several days. and plainly Mas hansered. especially in the after
 noon, by the profit taking operations of holders of long contracts In the early
 trading prices advanced above yester- days levels, and at the highest stood at
 a net gain of 20 to 25 points. The Oc- tober option crossed the 12c mark and May went above 13c. The net change for the dsy was an advance to 12 to l5 points. Around the opening the market was ac- tive and excited under a heavy demand
 Inspired by better Liverpool cables than due, warnings that the tropical storm probably would strike the gulf coast and coptinued reports of a good spot demand at higher prices in the interior. Prices moved upward slowly, however as there appeared to be a feeling that the ad- vance had been too rapid. In the early tracing prices gained about 10 points. The high levels were reached toward
 noon. After that the ring was quieter,

NEW YORK BULLS SUPPORT MARKET Overnight Buying Orders Cause Firm Opening
 in Cotton

New York. September 2s.-Whiie still higher prices were reached in the cotton market here today. fluctuations were more irregular and after selling at 12.75c, January contracts closed at 1e.64c. with the general list steady at 8 net gain of from 10 to IS points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 12 to 20 points on overnight buying orders and renewal of bull support, which had the encouragement of relatively firm cables bulish overnight advances from southern spot markets, and appre- hensions as to the course of the disturb ance reported in the gulf. There was a good deal of Liverpool selling here on tho differences, while there was also heavy realizing and prices soon reacted some 10 to r points from the best, but offer ings were well taken at the decline and the marke firmed up again on reports that storm warnings had been ordered for the Louisiana coast, and the official forecast for unsettled weather in the western belt. This second advance car ried october up to 2.25c. December to 12.5Sc and March to 1304c, or 24 to P points above last nights closing figures, with the relatively firm ruling of the near months suggesting that notices esti- mated at from 5000 to 10000 bales had been reauliy apsorpeo ht the preValiins differences.
 Demand seemed to slaoken somewha t at the advance, however. and fluctuations during the balance of the day were ex- tremely nervous and irregular under more or less general realizing and pre- dictons of reaction In advance of the government reports on Saturday Closing prices showed setbacks of 10 or 12 points from the best. A private report pub lished during tho morning made the con diton of the crop 6l.9 per cent, compared with TOP per cent last month.
 Commission houses were credited with buying very heavily during the day, while some of the older bulls were cred ited with selling freely for profits. Do- nestle spinners were reported to be buy ing spots little more freely, but the de mand from that source is still said to be far below the normal for this season. New York Cotton Euturea

Charles Fairchild & Co.'S Letter

New York. September 2s--(Special. ) The cotton market today scared to new high levels. Early liquidation. however. around 12.72c for January caused a quick setback of 15 points or more. Forecast of @ tropical storm. with high winds. due to strike local gulf states tonight, stimu- lated fresh buying and prices advanced to new heights Toward the close con siderable local liquidation caused another decline, but 1t was noticeable that around 1260c for January buyers were in evi- dence in increasing numbers.
 With the speculative world cotton mad and with the south steadfastly maintain Ing it's indifferent attitude in the mar keting of spots. 1t Is improbable that any permanent decline in prices Is probable, However. realizing that an advance of sS.o0 per bale in a little over week to some extent discounts e very bulish con dition report by the government on Sat urday next at Il a. m., and appreciating the fact that widespread long interest exists In the market We are inclined to favor purchases only on declines. On the other hand. 1t must be considered that an equinoxial storm of moderate vio- lence. indications of an early killing frost, or further successes on the part of the a'sies are possibilities that would increase speculative enthusiasm intensely in many directions and doubtless bring about sharp advances in prices.
 We believe cotton Is cheap and will sell materially higher ultimately But pur- chasers must be prepared for the setbaclts incident to big markets.
 We still favor purchases of cotton seed oil We expect to see that market de- velop great activity shortly with higher range of prices.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, September 2s.-(Speoial) Cables this morning were higher than duo and the bullsh Journal of Commerce report for Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana brought sufficient buying into the market to open prices at new high levels. Liverpool was Q heavy seller again on arbitrage. and there was further realizing. as is to be expected after such an advance as we have had this week There appeared to be more of this realiz- ing than heretofore. and the market Is more nervous today than yesterday. final ly selling off in tho late afternoon some 10 points from high
 While the underlying conditions remain bullish, the market shows more of a tendency to halt at this level despite the general expectation that tho bureau con dition report on Saturday will be bullish. Today was october notice day, but in view of, the premium on tho later posi- tons. which makes 1t profitable for mer- chants to carry cotton, notices were cas- fly absorbed. and caused no disturbance in the market
