NEW YORK, September S.-Cotton fu-
lures opened steady October. 9.S4 De-
cember. 1917: January, 1888; March,
1857; May. 1880.
The census report. showing 100000
bales of cotton ginned to September l this
year, compared with 4S0.317 bales last
season proved rather less bullish than had
been expected in view of the unfavorable
weather, and after opening at decline
of l to points, the cotton market sold
about to points net lower right after
the call. This decline carried october off
to $50, and December to 1923, but offer
ings were very well taken at this level
and the market soon steadied on Wall
street and New ORLEANS buying, with the
active months selling back to about last
nights closing figures before the end of
the first hour. Prospects for cooler
weather in the southwest and steadiness
in Liverpool helped to check the early
decline
The market ruled very steady later
in the morning on a bul1ish view of the
census report and reports of increased
interest on the part of southern mills
with active months selling to 5 points
net higher right after the publication
of the unfavorable weekly weather
report. This advance carried October
contracts up to $50 and January to
1898. or some 9 to 10 points above the
low level of the morning

'HEAWNESS IS NOTED
IN THE GENERAL LIST
Manipulation of War Shares Feature
of Stock Market in Early
Trading.
Bethlehem Steel and Crucible Steel
Each Shows Gains Before
the Closing.

NEW YORK, September S.-Manipu-
lation of war shares was the feature
of today's early trading. General
Motors made an initial gain of points
to 253. and Crucible Steel rose IA to
Sc, with gains of point in others of
that group. Tennessee Copper was the
only metal issue to record a gain, adj
vancing 81. to 57ls, Railways were
irregular, Readings advance of a point
to Isl y soon being lost. Rock Island
was heavy, losing y to 1SA. probably
as result of the withdrawal of an
important interest from further connec-
ton with the property. The local mar
ket derived no encouragement from
London, where Americans manifested
further weakness.
Reaction Comes in First Hour.
Active selling set in before the enc
of the first hour, the decline having
it's origin in rumors of fresh interna-
tional complications. Stocks of the
caliber of Union Pacific. Canadian Pa
cific, Southern Pacific and United States
Steel sold under yesterdays loves,
quotations. and general heaviness pre-
vailed in other parts of the list. Be
fore noon attempts were made to rally
the market by another advance III Tic
high-priced specialties. but the move
ment met with Indifferent success
trading becoming apathetic.
There was a marked falling Off or
commission business. but this was neN.
tralized by lighter foreign offerings
although exchange on London remained
heavy.
Bonds were irregular.
Steel Shows Gains.
A gain of 81. points, to 299ls for Beth
Iehem Steel and 5. to S914. for Crucible
Steel were the only features of the
early afternoon, the balance of the list
showing no marked change.
