CURB ISSUES DROP;
INTEREST LACKING
Exchange Attracts Nearly All
Observation-Disclosures Is Only
Stock Active of Leaders

NEW YORK. Sept 2i.--Nearly all the
outside markets were comparatively quiet
today because Of the concentration OF In
terest in trading on the Exchange. There
was pronounced falling of in the volume
Of business on the Broad Street Curb, and
many stocks in that market receded under
small sales simply because Of this lack Of
interest.
There was accumulation in n few issues
like Midvale Steel, but Wall streets facili-
ties are too limited TO permit activities In
all markets at the same time, and con-
gestlon must be regarded as a natural
sequence OF the heavy trading on the board.
There were only 100 shares Of Butter
worth, one OF the new features. which sold
at 40, and trading in other issues was gem
orally on the same small scale. The metal
stocks however, showed strength, Butte
Copper and zinz selling at SIS and United
Verde sold at 41ta Cerro de Pasco rose
from 80 to 39%.
Trading in Midvale Steel was at prices
ranging from 72% to 7S%. This. stock was
the only one OF the standard issues in which
trading was on a scale large enough to
deserve notice.
Mitchell Motors, which has been Inactive
for some time, advanced fror 6s 70 Il.
General Motors. new stock, sold at 150, and
United moved up from 67k to above 6S.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-A poor response
70 Liverpool cables was made on the call
in the cotton market this morning. reports
of easier spot markets having an influence
in bringing out considerable amount Oh
cotton.
The tone was barely steady, with prices
to points lower, with the exception OF
october, which rose points. New Or
leans and other southern interests were
the leading sellers and commission houses
continued their liquidating operations. Some
hedging also was noted.
Liverpool sold a moderate amount Of
january and purchased March.
After the call prices receded about two
points more, at which levels a demand de-
veloped which carried quotations back z
20 points.
warmer weather was reporte from the
So,sh this morning with the exception of
the northwestern portions Of the belt, where
temperatures were quite low. Conditions
were clear and the point was made that the
next ginning report should be large one
as picking and gathering had been possible
on large scale recently.
The market was irregular during the
middle of the morning. The early declines
carried January off TO 1902, or 2S points
under yesterdays high level, but rallies
followed to about last nights closing level.
Southern spot advices were more or less
conflicting, and there was selling here by
New Orleans and the Southwest.
Business became more active toward mid
day There were rumors that trade inter-
ests had large buying orders on the market
for execution on a slight decline ; also that
prominent Chicago authorities were about
10 issue a bullish condition report. These
reports stimulated buying and January sold
up TO 1922.
Trading became less active in the after
noon, but the market lost none OF its hrm-
ness. prices holding close TO the best level
of the noon hour.

FINANCIAL DISTRICT LOOKS
FOR BIG STEEL EARNINGS
Estimates for Third Quarter Run as
High as $96,OOO,0OO

Mathematicans in the Street are begin
ming to figure what the net earnings of the
United States Steel Corporation will be for
the third quarter, which ends on the 30th
of this month Estimates which have been
made by interests who make close study
of the big corporations affairs establish
new high records. Because of the high
prices which have been realized on the or
ders being filled during the current three
months, it is certain that the earnings will
be considerably ahead Of those for the Sec
ond quarter
Estimates now being made generally are
for an increase of more than $4,000, 900
over the revenue of the three months ended
June 80 last. Some interests who follow
closely the Steel Corporations business are
looking for as high as $95,000.O00 or &c.,
000, 900 in net earnings and the estimates
range from these totals downward to

CHICAGO, Sept 2i-Irregularity again
prevailed in the wheat market today, the
final tone being steadier, with December
and May a little higher and September
slightly lower. There was not much feature
to the dealings.
A drop at Liverpool and lack OF buying
The trade looked upon the setback in the
English market as an attempt of the tail
to wag the dog and promptly bought, which
resulted in rally.
Commission houses absorbed offerings,
and while there were suggestions that
foreigners were lined upon the buying side
there was no evidence on the surface of
their having taken wheat today. At any
rate it seemed as though bearish tactics
had been halted.
Receipts at points in the interior. while
smaller than on the corresponding day a
year ago, were liberal. Clearances from
the seaboard were moderate.
Beneficial rains were reported in some
parts of the Argentine where there has been
a protracted drought.
Corn was also irregular, September fin
ishing slightly above yesterdays close
while December and May ended lower.
Oats were inactive ending unchanged to q
little below yesterdays close. Light re.
ceipts were forecast. The market at Liver
pool was easier.
