New York. September 17-New high lrecords have been established in the cot ton market during the past week by continuation of the active buying move- ment which has been gaining headway ever since the publication of the gov ernment's August bureau Heavy realiz- ing and considerable selling for reac- ton was encountered as prices worked up to Il Se for January contracts of s1i 50 per bale above the low level of last July. but offerings have been absorbed by set- backs of about 95 points. although senti- ment seemed to be rather more divided at the close today, and fluctuations dur ing the past day or two have shown in creased irregularity While weather con- ditions have been considered more fav- orable and the weekly report of the weather bureau indicated an improvement in crop conditions. most of the private reports from the south have tended to strengthen the bulllsh view of the yield and rains on open cotton in the south west have caused some reaction.

 credulity to the utmost The most per
 slstent tip was that gigantic deal or combination was under way involving t Northern ore, Colorado Fuel and

 were authoritatively denied.

Thousands of cards bear ing the word: "Bui1d the Jackson High : way on the Jackson Highway" were distributed and much interest aroused among the people through that section. The route goes by New Hope, Gunters-

 The planters in this part of the state anticipate that If cotton remains at 10 cents through the greater part of the season they will enjoy more prosper ity than they have known in many years. The crop will be considerably less than last year but the planters figure that with cotton selling at 10 cents. as it has been during the last few days, they will recover their losses of last year and make money on this year. They are more hopeful than in a long time and 1t is believed that good times are coming back.

COTTON FLUCTUATES

Despite Liverpool Reports of Encouragement Mar
 ket Goes Lower

New York, September 1.-The cotton
 was rather less active today and fluctua .
 tions showed increasing nervousness and irresularity, with the close barely steady
 net unchanged at l6 points lower
 The market opened firm at an advance of 10 to 14 points in response to higher Liverpool cables and overnight buying orders, which seemed to have been at tracted by the renewal of bull support in yesterdays late trading and reports of rather a better inquiry from New Eng
 land spinners. October contracts sold at
 10.S2c, December at .20c and January
 at Il S5c on the call, the latter month be-
 ins within points of the recent high rec
 ord. Heavy realizing and renewed selling
 for reaction soon turned the market
 easier. however, and prices broke to
 shade under last nights closing figures
 before the end of the morning private condition report of 66.4 per cent against 6S.4 on August 25 helped to steady prices and cause moderate rallies, while there was also some disposition by recent sell CTS to cover pending further information of the course and intensity of the storm reported off the west coast of Cuba Bull 1sh private crop adviees also encourag ged buying on the decline. and there were ral- lies of 10 or 12 points during the early
 afternoon. Later, however. and while there appeared to be no particular change in the general character of the news prices weakened under renewed liquida- ton. with October selling off to To- 65c
 December to 1l.o2c and January to Il l5c In the late trading. The close was at practically the lowest point of the day.

SPOT COTTON|S STILL ON UPGRADE Advance of p Points Noted Yesterday With Market
 Strong

Local spot cotton showed an advance oI 20 points at yesterdays close and good middling now is quoted at 10i. cents a pound, with the market strong. The fact that Liverpool showed point loss in the early trading did not affect the New York and New Orleans markets and the local market reflected the confidence ex. hibited in the larger centers.
 Throughout the belt sentiment is rap idly spreading among producers to hold the staple for 12 cents. This sentiment as yet has had no material effect on the market, but brokers are observing the campaign, which is being carried out by country newspapers, and in some in stances by the larger dailies

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. September 1f.-Liverpool advanced in face of the reaction here yesterday due to crop advices from Texas and fthe absence of offerings from the south except at comparatively high basis. Here the advance abroad was regarded as an indication that a reaction was certainly due and that we might expect the receipts of cot ton to be offered to spinners with greater freedom. This was the atti- tude of the trade yesterday so that the transactions of today represent an ad- dition to this feeling. Just before the close the local trade anticipated heavy offerings tomorrow on spots in Eu- rope and sold the market dawn. Our spinners evidently are also waiting for this reaction which they expect in all the markets next week. In fact the re- cent advance has upset their oalcula- tions, as they felt certain of lower prices.
