WEATHER REPORT
SEND COTTON DOWN
Failure of Front to Appear
Worked Against the
Demand

New Orleans, September lS.-Coio
weather over the belt failed to make
much Of a bullish impression on the cot
ton market today. After momentary
advance Of points on the opening, prices
fell off. The failure Of frost to appear
even in the most northern sections OF the
belt appeared to be the chief reason Tor
the lack Of bull support. Again the alb
sence of rain and the forecast OF gener-
ally fair and warmer weather for practi-
cally the entire cotton region were fea-
lures which worked against the demand.
At the lowest of the day the traolns
months were to II points under the lass
quotations Of yesterday. The close was
at a net loss of 7 to 3 points.
Much of the cotton offered LOT saie
appeared to be from liquidating longs
although floor comment was that Win
the holiday in Liverpool considerable
hedging which would have gone to that
market had it been open was done mere
The fear OF attracting large hedging OPP
erations was generally believed to be one
of the reasons for the quiet feeling on
the long side of the market, in the race
of temperatures well under so degrees
over a large portion of the cotton area

SPECULATION ACTIVE
ON STOCK EXCHANGE
United States Steel Con-
tinues Its Upward Career;
Makes High Record

New York, September 16.-The week in
same way as it opened-a ferment of
speculation, sales in the two hour ses-
sion amounting to nearly 100000 shares,
equivalent to full day OF 100000.
There was marked change in the char
acter of operations. however, interest
converging almost entirely about the rail-
way division, in which extreme gains of
l to almost points were fairly numer-
Gus. Except for United States Steel,
which continued its upward career to the
new record OF los, industrials, equipments
and munitions were in comparatively
light demand, although Driggs-Seabury
gained an additional Z points.
A distinctly irregular undertone was
denoted by the favorites of the early
week, and it was suggested that the up
ward movement in investment issues was
being used as a cloak to unload the
more mercurial stocks
Reading was the only important rail-
way issue to hang back. but that stock
had smart gain earlier in the week
when 1t made it's new record.
Aside from industrial conditions as in
Dictated by the threatened expansion of
labor troubles, weekend news was
mostly favorable, the mercantile agen-
cies reporting an increase in distribution
of merchandise and large advance sales.
The bank statement came up to general
expectations with a substantial gain In
cash, and an increase of slightly more
than $40, 000,0 900 in excess reserves, that
item, however, being very much under
the total of a month ago.
The only feature to the bond market
which ruled from irregular to firm was
the greater diversification of offerings.
Today's sales, par value, were SO, 420, 900.
United States couponN4s were Il per cent
lower on call during the week

New Orleans Futures
Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. September 1s.-(Special.)
The Liverpool market was closed today,
and as consequence we were without
cable advices from that market. The fail
ure of frost predictions to materialize in
the western belt, together with prediction
of warmer weather there, and clear
weather in the Atlantic states, brought
constantly increasing volume of hedge
selling today. There was very little de-
msnd from the mills, northern specula-
tors being the principal buyers. During
the last hour of trading the hedge SELL
ing became increasingly heavy and. al
though the market closed steady, there
was scarcely enough buying orders to abb
sorb the offerings.
With the improvement in the weather
conditions we look for an increase in
pressure from the south next week. and
it will then be a question whether the
demand from spinners and the specula-
tive interest will be sufficient to absorb
the offerings. From the action of the
market today, it does not look as though
this would be the case 1t should also
be borne in mind that the freights sit
uation is unfavorable and it is very diff
ficult to export AS consequence, the
stocks are increasing at the interior
towns on account Of the inability to ship
So tisfactorily to Europe.

Fairchild & Co.'s Letter

New York. September 16.-{Special.)
Failure of killing. or suspicion of even
severe, frosts to develop in the south
west, coupled with more hedge selling and
local liquidation, gave the cotton market
another moderate setback today. The
recent bull leaders are bullish yet, but
have apparently sold the greater part, If
not ALL their cotton, and are standing by,
waiting for an opportune time to re-enter
the market. With this in mind and con-
sideration of the extremely heavy move
ment to the ports. we would not sur
prised to see temporarily lower cotton
markets.
The situation is not lacking in strong
bullish features. but momentarily selling
seems against the bull side. Therefore,
we would rather await developments be-
fore advocating purchases.
The oil market Is showing tendency
to work independent of cotton. All kinds
of oils, barring linseed, seems to be in
active demand; also greases. We expect
to see very active oil markets during the
coming week. with chances favoring much
higher prices
october, November and December seem
to be the best months to buy for quick
turn. OF the three We prefer December
For long pull we think the March OPP
ton the best.

WHEAT PRICES TAKE
DECIDED BREAK
British Trade Restrictions
Increase Selling Pressure
and Prices Decline

Chicago, September 16-Uneasiness in
regard to British trade restrictions did a
good deal today to increase the selling
pressure on wheat. Largely in conse-
quence closed unsettled 1std25sc net lower,
with December at sl.477sd1 1914 and May
at $1.4Sa1. 4S14. Corn lost 9sd1kc to &c and
oats, 1s@A to hd9sc, Provisions fin
ished irregular, ranging from 47c decline
to a rise of 15c
Conflicting opinions were put forth as
to whether the latest London trade regu-
lations concerning neutraIs had refer
ence to wheat. The uncertainty result
ing counted decided in favor of the bears,
especially as foreign market had failed
to respond to yesterdays upturn in prices
here. Continuance of the millers' strike
in Great Britain tended also to handicap
the bulls. About the only important rally
which took place seemed to be caused
chiefly by word of a big Teutonic victory
in Rumania near the Black sea. The
rally however, did not at best come near
to offsetting the previous break in values
and was not well maintained.
Lack Of any aggressive support be-
came more and more evident in the
wheat pit as the session drew to a close
What demand there was came chiefly
from shorts taking profits On the other
hdidy many WSdh IOlueTS OlSDlayed no
table anxiety to be relieved of the burden

Commonwealth" Burke has excellent

The geistige band, as Goethe puts it.
the spiritual tie which binds a nation of
men into an organic whole, will not be
found in competition work by supply

Right does not and cannot mean merely
thinking of ones self, living for ones

of that conception of right is anarchy
No; right, as the Latin word jus

FURTHER DECLINE
IN COTTON MARKET
Southern Offerings and Fa-
vorable Weather Reports
Send Prices Down

New York September 16.-Favorable
weather reports and increased southern
offerings seemed chiefly responsible for a
further decline in the cotton market to-
day. December contracts sold off to 1851,
or about Is points under last night S
closing figures and 26 points under the
high level of last Thursday. Closing
prices were within point or two of the
lowest on most deliveries, with the tone
steady at net decline of to 13 points
The market opened steady at an adj
vance of points to a decline of points,
near months being Influenced by scat
tered covering and a moderate demand
from spot houses. Some of the near
month buyers we're sellers of later deliv-
cries. however, and the market soon
turned easier under southern and local
pressure. After showing a net loss OF
to 10 points, prices stiffened up slightly
on trade buying, accompanied by rumors
that spinners had orders in the market
for execution on a scale down, and there
may also have been some demand on re-
ports from Liverpool that Egyptian crop
estimates were being reduced, owing TO
the ravages of the pink worm.
October sold at 15 33c and January at
Is. SOC, the lowest point reached since the
advance of the early week, and the talk
around the ring was of rather a bearish
average late in the morning, owing to ex-
pectations of rapid progress with GIN
ming under favorable weather conditions
and a consequent increase in southern
offerings. The failure of the weather map
to show damaging temperatures follow
ing yesterdays frost predictions was prob
ably a disappointment to recent buyers;
while the outlook was for warmer weather
in the western belt tonight and tomorrow
Reports from Fall River indicated that
higher prices were checking demand for
goods, but western adviees reported con-
tinued activity and an improved demand
for cotton dress fabrics, owing to the
high prices of wool.
