MARKET IRREGULAR . WITH STEADY CLOSE
International Politics Affect Cotton and High Prices
 Decline

| New York. September IDA rather less favorable view of international politics increased the disposition to take profits on long cotton after the recent big advance and the market was more tions irregular The closing tone. how ever, was steady with prices from 2 to 10 points net lower.
 The market opened steady at un- l changed prices to an advance of 2 points and the active months sold D to points net higher right after the call on overnight buying orders and a further broadening of general demand inspired by bullish southern spot and crop advices.
 There was heavy realizing from the start. and as soon as the first rush of buying orders had subsided. the mar ket turned easier with prices working off some IA or Is points from the best There was probably some selling for reaction as well as profit taking on this decline, but the setback brought in another wave of outside buying which was encouraged by reports that spot shorts were paying higher prices to cover their September commitments in the interior of the southwest, and ru- mors that recent sales of October against real were being covered owing to an improved demand In the eastern belt markets Early sellers covered on the rally which carried the market about to 10 points net higher during the early afternoon with October sell ing up to 10.2Sc and January to 10S1c, while December made new high ground for the movement selling at 10.64c The support then tapered off and the mar ket met renewed realizing which seemed to come largely from Wall street sources and which may have been partly inspired by the easier rul- ing of the stock market and unfavora- ble reports from the steel trade.
 October sold off to 10.09c; December to 10.4Sc and January to 10.59c, but closing prices were to points up from the lowest on covering. Exports for the day were 3301 bales, making 21S,024 so far this season. Port receipts 20,S57. United States port stocks, 7i6,- 071.

AUSTRIAN INCIDENT
 DEPRESSES MARKET
Cotton Prices Strong at the Opening But Takes a
 Sharp Decline

New Orleans, September 1o.-Confiicting g Influences were at work in the cotton market today and while there were strong bulges there also were sharp breaks, with the market showing net loss of to II points at the close. At one time the trad ing months were to Il points over yes- terday's final figures, and at new high levels for the season. Closing prices. were down around the lowest of the day
 On the first call the market was ex- cited and made display of strength that brought in large buying orders from out side traders. Cables were much better than due and crop news was unfavorable Before the middle of the morning prices were to Il points up. but at this level realizing sales from the long side checked the upward movement. The attitude of sador was an influence once the market started down under the weight of offer ings from the long side and the decline was sharp. The most active months broke IS to 22 points, landing to 12 points under yesterdays finals When the market looked weakest Texas flooded it with crop accounts, telling of alarming damage through adverse weather conditions and the work of insects. A feature of this news was private estimate, putting the Texas crop at only 100000 bales The market made quick recovery to the highest levels, but in the afternoon fell off again under more realizing and the rumor that Washington would reject tho German note on the Arabic

WHEAT MARKET
 MAKES ADVANCE Prospects Good for Large Export Business Is
 Report

l Chicago. September 10.-wheat made
 a sharp advance today, influenced chief
 ly by the partial exhaustion of con
 tract stocks here and at some other leading centers The market closeo
 strong, 1% Q4hc net higher. with Sep
 tember at 99A c and December at s4c.
 Corn finished K @ 2 c to sc up, and
 oats with a gain of A @1ke In provis-
 oins the outcome varied from 5c de-
 cline to rise of 121ac
 l High premiums for immediate de- livery of wheat caused general cover ing by shorts, especially in the Sep-
 tember option. The extreme scarcity of
 No. red winter here was shown by the
 payment of 1S1ec a bushel premium
 Tor that grade on the spot compared
 with ordinary September contracts. St
 LouisA and Kansas City reported simi- | lar conditions as the result of what u well known authority referred to as the
 most extraordinary delay ever recorded as to the movement of winter wheat Heavy rains which have interferred With threshing and shipping and which were again prevalent today led to as- sertions that not for several months If at all this season would there be any big accumulations of winter wheat at the principal primary markets Notwithstanding further talk of the slowness of export demand, belief was expressed in some quarters that more business with foreigners was being done than has been announced from day to day. The weekly statement of ex- ports was mentioned as evidence in this respect, No actual sales to Europe were disclosed today except 100000 bushels of Manitoba wheat at the seaboard. Corn ruled firm with wheat and as result of cooler weather with some reports of frost. At one time the mar lSet was depressed by rather lively con.- mission house selling. but the effect failed to last.
 Oats were firm throughout the day Offerings from the country proved very small
 Hogs at the highest prices of the year tended to lift provisions. Packers though, turned sellers and gave a check to any decided upturn in lard or meats

MODERATE DECLINE NSTANDARD STOCKS
Arabic and Austrian Inci- dents Main Deterrents
 to Speculation

New York, September 10.-Latest aspects
 of the international situation, sug- gested by Germanys attitude in relation to the sinking of the Arabic. and Wash ington's demand for he recall of the Aus trian ambassador. acted as the main de- terrents.~to speculative sentiment today. I Stocks opened at moderate decline. but recovered almost immediately, only to fail back again at midday There they .san- gled listIessly until the final hour when 1 bearish activities and renewal of foreign selling became effective to the extent of causing net losses of to points in in- vestment issues with great losses in the volatile specialties.
 1 Pursuing their usual course, war shares were inclined to new high flights. Bethle- hem Stee, made a maximum advance of 10 to the new record of S55, and General Motors rose to H1. also a new high; Crucible Steel and Studebaker came with in fractional proximity of their best quo- tations. Gains in this group were ma terially reduced or altogether lost before the close
 1 An unusual but spasmodic feature was 8 revival of moderate interest in Tobacco and Expresssshares, the latter's strength being attributed to reports that the corl- merce commission may withdraw it's re- cent order for an all-round reduction of carrying charges.
 l United States Steel held fairly steady at first gaining sentimental support from the filing of the decree of the federal court which dissolved it from violation of the antitrust laws. Later this advantage was lost on publication of August tonnage figures, showing a decrease of 20,0O0 tons in thrilled orders. together with the statement that the government intends b proceed with its prosecution of the cor poration.
 As a whole, railways denoted intermit- tent pressure and further selling of the same substantial character which fol- lowed the issuance of the excellent crop report. Southern and southwestern fs- sues fared rather better than other shares, although Missouri. Kansas and Texas common and preferred and Rock Island were distinctly heavy. Total sales amounted to 540,000 shares. Foreign ex- change was again stimulated by the ar. rival of the Anglo-French financial dele gation, demand sterling rising to 4.e9. Bonds were irregular. with reduced Eu- lropean offerings. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3,150,OO0.
 United States coupon and registered 3's declined X per cent on call.
