COTTON MARKET
MAKES RECOVERY
Opening Decline Overcome
and Market Closed at a
Net Gain

New Orleans, September AFTER
showing more or less weakness in the
early trading today the cotton market
hardened late in the session, recovered
all of the early loss and closed firm at
a net gain for the day of 9 to points.
The buying seemed to be based almost
wholly on rumors of bullish forecast
of the August report by the census bu-
reau on the consumption of cotton
among American mills.
The opening was at the decline and
prices were held below the level of
Saturdays close during the greater part
of the session because of bearish spot
comment. Liverpool was lower than
due, and sent private cable messages
stating that the depression there was
caused by large spot offerings from the
south at a lower basis. Before the ses-
sion was very old prices here were s
to rs points down. Moderate buying
met the decline, and the market re-
covered few points but for consid-
cradle period fluctuations were narrow,
and the market had no decided swing.
In the early afternoon it acquired more
buying power and recovered nearly all
of the decline. Almost on the close
there was a bulge which carried the
trading months to points above the
last prices of last week.

SHARP RALLIES ON
| COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Firm at
a Net Advance of 13
to 20 Points

New York. September u-Early de-
cines were followed by sharp rallies in
the cotton market today with December
closing at 1890 The general list closed
firm at a net advance at Is to 20 points.
The market opened steady at decline
of 7 to 10 points in response to lower
Liverpool cables and renewal of the
selling movement was in progress here
at the close last week. All deliveries
made new low ground at the opening
with october selling at 14S1c and January
al 15.09c, or about 40 to 10 points under
the recent high records. There was fur
Their liquidation as well as renewed south
ern selling and selling out offerings
were very well absorbed at the decline
by trade buying and covering Early
rallies Of or 9 points seemed to meet
increased offerings and fluctuations were
nervous and irregular during the middle
of the day, but there appeared to be sup
port from trade sources on all setbacks,
and the market turned firmer toward
the middle of the afternoon. The failure
OF southern hedge selling to become
more active around o'clock probably
inspired some of the covering while bull
support was also more aggressive and
prices sold up rapidly during the last
hour October rallied to 1512c and Jan
uary to 1880, or about 30 to 80 points
from the low level of the morning, and
the close was at the best point of the
day. Liverpool said that early hedge
selling had been absobed by continental
buying and attributed the late decline
to improved crop accounts from Texas,
although there were rumors here that
returns from 120 towns to the Texas state
department of agriculture indicated yields
of only one-seventh of a bale to the
acre.

BULLISH ACTIVITY
ON STOCK MARKET
Large and Diversified Trad
ing Leaves No Doubt as to
Public Participation

New York, September lin fur
Their disregard OF conditions which or
dinariiy make for speculative restraint
such as the poor crop outlook. anoth-
er large contraction in local bank re-
serves and the spread of labor trou-
bles, the week in the stock market
opened with continuation of bullish
activity which resulted in numerous
substantial gains and a few new high
records.
Trading was again SO large and di-
versified as to leave little doubt Of
public participation. The total of L.
100000 shares was made up chiefly
j of United States Steel and affiliated
industrials, metals and the shipping
issues. with liberal sprinkling of mu-
nutions and equipments.
United States repeated it's familiar
performance of scoring a new maxi
mum on it's gross gain of is points
to 1o4X, although part Of this ad-
vance was forfeited at the end. Mer-
camille Marine preferred also sold
higher than before, its extreme gain
of 3ss points sending 1t to 1859, with
a like achievement for Atlantic. Gulf
and West Indies, which gained 3M at
So.
Among the high priced specialties
Bethlehem Steel was distinguished for
its rise Of 10 to sos, and General
Motors rose 16 to $50. Independent
steel stocks, like Republic, Sloss-
Sheffield, Lackawanna, Colorado Fuel,
Railway Steel Springs and American
Car were higher by to 5 points.
Mexicans, the copper and zinc is
sues, United States Industrial Alcohol
and the paper group augmented last
weeks gains in irregular degree and
various minor stocks of no distinctive
character were higher by 1 to 8
points.
Reading was the sole feature of the
trails. fluctuating within a radius of
"a points and closing at a net loss
of a point at ITO. Total sales, par
value, aggregated $1,970,000.
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

BIG EXPORT SALES
STRENGTHEN WHEAT
Falling Off of Visible Sup
ply in the United States
Influences Prices

Chicago, September 11.-Announce-
ment of falling off in the United
States visible supply had a good deal
to do today with strengthening the
wheat market and so too did word Of
big export sales of United States
wheat. Prices closed unsettled but q
al NC net higher, with December
s154Ss and May s155h. other leading
staples all showed declines-corn Ia
/ &c oats ssG%c to &c, and provls-
ions, "a a soc. At first the wheat mar
ket failed to hold upturns in prices.
The reason was that early advances
were chiefly the result OF a tenn
porary absence of selling pressure.
ICautiousness on the part of the bears
was decidedly evident for a time in
huence to some extent by the surrender
of the Rumanian fortress of Silistria to
the Bulgarians. Lightness of world
shipments counted further against the
bears. and there were reports besides
OF decrease in the total stock on hand
in Great Britain. However, rains in
Kansas, much needed for fall blowing,
led soon to a downturn In values. For
the time being, a total lack of export
demand seemed to have developed, with
a noticeable lessening of call from do
nestle mi1lers. 1t was until just before
! the end of the session that dispatches
arrived telling of heavy export buy
ing on the decline, the British commits
sion alone taking 100000 bushels.
Shorts in wheat rushed to cover when
the United States visible supply total
was posted showing a decrease of $780,
600 bushels from the scanty surplus
and was followed by advices of de-
crease of 2,3S2,000 bushels in Canada.
Again, as was the case early, the pit
was virtually bare of offerings and
prices advanced rapidly. but the furry
seemed about at an end before the final
gong.
Corn gave way mainly in consequence
of assertions of wonderful crop i'm
provement of late in Illinois and of con-
tinued favorable weather for matur-
ing the crop. Speculative holders I'M
loaded freely.
Oats sagged with corn. Late reports
|of good export demand, though,
caused something of rally.
Lower prices on hogs weakened pro-
visions. After an unusually sharp
break buying on the part of shorts and
packers gave the market an appearance
of relative strength but quotations in
no case were again up to the level Of
Saturdays finish.

Fairchild & Co.'S Letter

New York, September 11.-Liverpool' S
weakness this morning was reflected at
our opening. the call showing declines
from Saturday of from II to IS points.
During the greater part of the day the
market was a lstless affair. no marked
disposition being shown either to buy
or sell.
In the closing hour there was a let up
in the mysterious and exaggerated So
called '.hedge selling" With this bug
aboo out Of the way 1t was easy to
advance prices The market looks still
higher to us.
Crop conditions have in no way
changed for the better since last Tues
day, when January sold at 1890. There
is nothing in the outlook to create the
fear that the market will decline mate
rally. All the south need do is to
begin an immediate holding movement in
cotton and cotton seed Higher prices
will, then quickly follow in futures in
both cotton and OIL
The early of market was weak in sym
pathy with cotton and lard. Late trading
showed some recovery, with very little
offering and prices showing tendency tc
advance. We still favor purchases on
all breaks.

Avery's Letter

Cotton prices today, after an early
sinking spell, influenced by weak Liv-
erpool, had the appearance of having
turned the corner and despite hanging
back tendency on the part of New Or
leans. all months closed at the highs
for the day.
Advances In spot markets were noted
at number of interior points and the
exports for the day were 100000 While
there may not be an immediate resump-
ton of the extreme bullish sentiment.
prices have definitely seen the low for
many months to come and purchases can
safely be made on moderate setbacks.
Cotton seed oil was weak today on
the easiness. in lard prices. but later
firmed UP on improved conditions In
that market and better cotton prices
Seed prices are ranging from $40 to $50
per ton in Texas. At these prices 90
cent oil looks extremely cheap and
don't believe refiners can hold the mar
l.et down much longer under these condi-
tons.
