NEW YORK. Sept 29.-The cotton
market at the opening this morning was
waiting one traders showing a dis
position to hold off pending the Govern.
ment report to be issued next week
The early tone was steady, October
started unchanged and other months were
to points higher. being influenced by
better cables than expected and unfavor-
able crop weather. In fact the conditions
In the south came in for the bulk of atten-
ton. showing general rains with much
lower temperatures and the forecast being
for frost in the northeastern States.
prominent southern commission house
was the leading'buyer IN the early dealings,
other purchases were scattered and the
supply came from various interests in small
amounts.
The failure of low-condtion figures and
frost predictions to stimulate demand in the
cotton market probably promoted the ten
dency to sell out long contracts and await
Government reports.
The opening advances were soon lost,
with the market selling back 10 approx
imately last nights closing figures before
the end of the first hour.
Liverpool and New Orleans were the
chief sellers on the decline and offerings
tapered Off around IL o'clock. with the
market becoming quiet and steady at mod
crate rallies.
Demand became more active following
the publication OF the detailed weather re-
ports, which showed minimum temperatures
down TO the freezing point at few places
in the Southwest. December contracts sold
up to 1915, with active months generally
working about to 10 points net higher.
The buying did not become general, how
ever as there seemed some question as TO
whether any serious damage had occurred,
and business still appeared TO be restricted
by the proximity of the Government reports.

DISARMAMENT IN
 [ IRELAND OPPOSED Asquith's Visit Disappoint- ment; Ulster Men Not in
 Sympathy with Plans.

BELFAST. Ireland, May 15.-Stub- born disinclination to accept anything in the way of a government which might imply the future subjecticn of Ulster to Home Rule was evident to- day on the occasion of Premier As quiths visit to Belfast. which lasted only a few hours. So far as can be learned, the premier's conference with a large body of representative Ulster men was disappointing.
 It is understood that the question of general disarmament of forces in Ire land not authorized by the govern ment was discussed and, although those present were pledged to secrecy, it is rumored that cold water had been thrown on the proposal The discus sion was very full and frank.
 Sir Edward Carson's telegram to the Ulster Unionist Council was to the effect that he had no knowledge of ru- mors respecting the change of govern ment in Ireland which it is understood Mir. Redmond is ready to offer IT. ster's capital was almost entirely un- affected by the recent rebellion. and the provisions of martial law have not been enforced. Everything is out wardly calm. but the keenest interest underlies the surface appearance and many Ulsterites declare they have no dealings with the Nationalists. All the newspapers in Belfast advise eau tion in regard to any promise that the premier may have made but which are not yet public property.

Tactful General Believes His Conference at Juarez Broke Ice for Formal Understand ing Between Two Nations. DlPLOMATICS AWAIT
 OBREGONS REPORT Funston is Exchanging Infor- nation with Carranzistas on Bandit Affairs, Confirming Secret Agreement.
(By Review Leased Wire )

WASHINGTON, May 15-The State Department and Gen. Carranza are awaiting detailed reports of the recent conference between Generals Scott and Obregon.
 General Scott, chief of stafi of the army, returned today, optimistic over the military situation and confident that the meetings between himself and General Funston on one side and General Obregon on the other, had created better understanding be tween the two governments which might furnish the basis for a fornal protocol. The chief of staff was in need of rest, however, and did not see Secretary Lansing. He reported briefly to Secretary Baker but the full discussion of his conversations with General Obregon will come later.
 Eliseo ArreGSndo. the Mexican am- assador-designate, asked for instruc tions as to his course last week, but General Obregon probably will not reach Mexico City for several days and the reply from General Carr&aza is not expected at the embassy be- fore Obregon's report has been re ceiYed.
 While press reports have told of several raids of a minor character at various points in the last few days. General Funston either has been un- able to confirm these stories or has thought them 100 unimportant to bring to the attention of the War Depart ment.
 Administration officials continue to express confidence that the forces now under General Funston's com mand will be able to protect the border in such fashion that repeti tion of the Gleen Springs raid will be impossible unless there is gen eral anti-American outbreak beyond the border in which CarranZa troops participate. There is nothing to in- dicate the likelihood of such an event. On the contrary, all official advices at hand indicate that CarfanZa forces are being disposed to prevent raiding across the line by irresponsible out laws
 General Funston's new plan for CO., ordinating the work of the border guards was regarded in some quarters here as tending to confirm informa- tion that an unwritten agreement as to steps to be taken were reached at the Fl Paso conference. If the plan includes an exchange of information as to bandit activities between re-
