STOCK MARKET
.~@~~~~~<


 New York, Sept. 30-Opening.-Ir- regular changes recorded at the out set of tAday's session suggested fur ther profit taking rather than the usu- al weekend system Of, professional contracts. United States and Union Pacific showed losses of one to two points and in the case of the former this was soon extended to almost four points. There were neutralizing fea- lures in the initial dealings, some of the industrials and equipments rising from substantial fractions to over two points. Before the end of the first half hour selling increased; the list de- veloping a heavy undertone:
 Close-Concerted efforts, evidently of professional origin, were made to depress prices soon after today's open ing, leading industriaIs. coppers and rails abruptly declining two to almost ve points. Selling of United States Steel and Republic and Crucible Steels were especially extensive to- gether with Union Pacific and Ameri- can Smelling. Recessions of' two to three points ocurred in other promi- nent with the first hours sales again on the basis of two million shares for a full day. The market rallied later on a demand for coalers, Norfolk & Western making a new high record. Lehigh advanced to its best quotation in years. The closing was irregular. Bonds were firm.

| of 69 per cent on August 25, year ago. This condition indicates pro-
 duction this year of about II, 300 bales which compares with 11,192 thousand l bales @ year ago, 16,135 thousand | bales two years ago and 14.156 thou sand bales three years ago. There | were $50 thousand bales of cotton ginned from the crop of 1916 to Sep tember 1 compared with 464 thousand l bales to the same date last year and 480 thousand bales two years ago.
 Domestic consumption of cotton in August totaled 659 thousand bales compared with ASA thousand in Aug
 ust, 1915. Stocks of cotton on August 31 in consuming establishments ag- gregated 1859 thousand bales conn pared with 1,166 thousand bales a year ago and stocks in public storage and at congresses were 969 thousand bales compared with 1,713 thousand on August 31, 1915. There were 32,- 299 thousand spindles active in Aug ust compared with 31,064 thousand active last year.
 The condition of the spring wheat crop on September l was 4s.6 com- pared with a condition of 94.6 on Sep tember l a year ago and 77.5, the ten year average for this date. The con- dition on August of this year was reported to 63.4. This indicates a crop of 166 million bushels compared with 357 million bushels a year ago and 233 million bushels, the average for the previous five years. The condition of corn crop is now 71.3 compared with 75.3 a month ago, 78.8 year ago, and 77.1. the ten year average. This condition Indicates a crop of 1,710 million bushels compared with 3,055 million bushels last year and 2,732 million bushels, the five year average. The September 1st condition of the oats crop of 78 indicates a yield of 1,231 million bushels compared with 1,54O million bushels last year and 1,158 million bushels, the ten year average. The barley condition of 74.6 indicates a yield of 184 mil lion. bushels compared with 237 mill lion bushels last year and 1S6 million bushels. the five year average. The prospects are for yield of white po- tatoes totaling SIS million bushels compared with\ 359 million bushels last year and 361 million bushels, the five year average. The average con- d1t1on of all crops on September 1 was 94.6 compared with 97.4 on August 1 and 1O5.5 on September 1 last year.
 Conditions in some lines merit watching. and attention to and study Of such factors as commodity prices and the supply of railroad cars will be amply repaid. Evidences of strength, however, are preponderant, and as long as the weaker factors are recognized and provided against, 1t would seem that the great majority of business establishments in this country should enjoy a prosperous trade in the coming months. \
