PTTRLIC SUPPORT WITHDRAWN
 FROM THE COTTON MARKET

There particular news o more than passing interest in the cotton market yesterday The early selling credited o foreign interests which made the early low ground Brokers
 who usually act the big Philadelphia spot house came m about noon as buyers their action caused shorts to cover
 but seemed have the to help sustain the advance and interior spot houses and southern hedge selling quickly took the edge off rally and prices closed with indications o a still lower level.
 Another day pessmsm prevailed the stock market The big interests seem content to let the market drift The real seat of the trouble is the eternal dydayng of Congress- Business naturally would like to have it's low sbe what they want than anything else is sort stable basis upon which work and until Congress finishes and business has basis upon which they make forward commitments there is little hope for improve
 stock prices except for technical By the time Congress finishes the tax the country will be called upon digest another bond issu which something again However the buy when things cheap and there numbers of seasoned dividend payers the bargain counter.

ARE LOWER;
 STOCKS ARE SICK
List Rules Irregular-Rails Decline and Industrials
 Advance

New York. September 6-stocks pur- sued contrary course during the active periods of today's market, industrials evincing stronger tone, while rails, few representative issues excepted, dropped to lower levels.
 Improvement in the industrial division was commonly ascribed to the Senate rejection of the drastic war tax measure. The further weakness of secondary rails was again traceable to recognized condi- tions, chiefly of financial character.
 New York Central registered the new minimum of 74M and New Haven fell gradually to the low record of 25s4, while St. Paul made its minimum price TOT many years at 62A. Union Pacific and few other investment stocks scored ex- treme gains of 1 to points, most ol which was relinquished later.
 United States Steel was irregular, open ing at an extreme gain of 1A points to 10Sh reacting almost points then raj al lying to 108ss It's final quotation or luo represented a net gain of IS of a pom ,. Other equipments were in fair demand at extreme gains of 1 to points, Whleh, too, were surrendered. Cruclple Steei made net advance of 21s points.
 Easier money rates were counterpai- anced by scarcity of time funds addi- tional heavy exports of goA to Japah' Spain and South America.
 Bonds were heavy the liberty issue re- maining steady, however, at 99.SS to 99.s2. Total bond sales, par value, aggregated s3SI5 GOO. United States b0nds old issues, were unchanged on call.

CROP COMMENTS

Meridian. Miss-Crop this section acre than last year, but has lost some ground from three weeks ago, prob ably ? to 3 points.
 Greenwood, Miss.-Cotton 10 per cent worse than 20 days ago; 15 per cent better than last year. Boil wee vii very active; getting many half grown bolls.
 Tuscaloosa.-Crop in this section very short last year account July floods Think this county will make around 5000 bales this year compared with 270o last year. Crop now about 10 per cent off from three weeks ago.
 Greenwood, $. Cold cotton fine and recent rains will greatly benefit late planted. Full yield looks assured.
 lle.-Deterioration in this county since August 25 equal to all de- terioration before that date. Acreage cut S5 per cent. Receipts very small. Outside cotton buyers abandoned this market for past 10 days.
 Montgomery.-Goo bottom and mid : dle crop, but boil weevil is very ac- tive in some sections and will short ly start to attacking unopened bolls, although fair yield is already in sight.
 Selma-Weevil getting everything now stopped blooming; fair crop made, better than last year when flood ruined crop.
 Columbus, Ga.-Crop this section badly injured by weevil; also much complaint of shedding.
 Dothan.-Cotton in fine shape Al : though acreage is greatly decreased yield will be at least 40 per cent more than last year. Damage from boil wee vii is negligible.
 Atlanta. Ga.-Crop from Macon north has held it's own past 20 days. South of that line boil weevil and shedding causing complaints.
 New York, September 6.-The cotton market opened lower this morning un der selling by foreign interests and liquidation by some of yesterday $ buyers, but when these commitments were filled the market rallied about 75 points from yesterdays low on buy ing for trade account and short GOV ering. The advance, however, attract ed short selling and all of the early gain was lost in the latter part of the days trading. The decreasing To- cal stock, which is now the lowest in IS years, is causing near months to hold steady. Unless this condition is relieved by shipments here an in creased premium between near and distant options is likely.
 Spot advices from Texas were of a bullish nature.
 The market encountered a large amount of liquidation near the close by some of yesterdays buyers, caus- ing a sharp break. With the short in 7 terest now covered, it looks as though prices will work some lower.
 JUNG.
 New York, September GA favor able map and selling by Liverpool and professionals made the early low fig : ures. Mitchell came in as a good buy CT around noon, forcing shorts to cover over 21.90c for December. No public buying came in, however, suffi- cient to sustain the rally and the late ca siness was due to selling by the spot people, southern hedge selling and lack of support. No particular news of interest It looks as though the mar ket must have the support of the larger interests and better general speculative demand to prevent 1t go- ing into new low ground.

Hutton's Stock Letter

New York, September 6.-Another day of pessimsm and new low prices. Steel has resisted, as has Pittsburg Coal, but most of the other stocks have given away, New York Central and New Haven fnak- ing new lows Motor shares have been under extreme pressure The market re- minds us of the bear markets of 20 years ago. when pessinsm became so rife that practically all of the active stocks loaned at a premium. It was due notice to everyone when the price of bituminous coal was made S2 that halt had been called on excessive profits People in gen. eral are just waking up to that now, after the market has declined $1o to $2O a share
 Many stocks are selling below their in trinsic value If the country is good they must be good. Some are still out of line. Reading certainly is; General Electric looks to be another. They are both good stocks, but they are out of proportion to other equally good stocks of the same kind.
 If the price of copper is fixed at 25 cents and many people think that 1t will be, it would indicate very fair treat ment for the steel companies.
 At the top of bull market there are always lot of leftover stocks, which are made active and put up A bear market always winds up the same way. with certain stocks being depressed

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 6-After dis playing more or less steadiness during the greater part of the session today, cotton suddenly turned weak under ex- tremely heavy selling toward the end and closed within a point of the lowest a net loss of 45 to AS points. Uncon- frmed political rumors, chiefly relating to the Russian fleet, st;mulated the sel : ing.
 In the early trading. better spot ac counts gave the market the strength to recover from declines ana go Sl59 3 bale above yesterdays close Professional traders were inclined to take the long side for reaction from the decline and during a good part of the day offerings appeared to come chiefly from hedge sellers.
 Around the opening the most active were 10 to points up, from which level there was a fall to a net decline of 16 to 22 points, On this decline the de- mand increased and the market firmed up rapidly until the loss was replaced by a net advance of 2S to 30 points In the afternoon the tone was unsettled and offerings gradually increased until, late in the day, the ring was flooded with contracts which the demand could
 not absorb except at much lower levels.

WEATHER CAUSES
 DECLINE IN VALUES
Increased Demand From DistiIlers Responsible
 for Rallies

Chicago, September 6.-Higher tempera- lures and absence Of frosts that had been expected brought about a decline today in the value of corn. Corn closed steAdy at a net decline of 1sQssc, with December at $1.129sg1. .121a, and May at $l0s9s Oats finished unchanged to 3zc lower. In pro visions, the outcome was an advance of 7GI1oc to 22c.
 Corn traders were confronted by condi- tions exactly opposite to what had been looked for. Instead of a. southward spread of unreasonable cold weather, re- ports from Kansas, Missouri and Nebras- ka told of rising temperatures and of prospects that the mercury would in some sections ascend to 100 degrees. Besides, the only frost heard of was light touch in northwestern Minnesota. The general return of warmth and moisture seemed likely to hasten the maturity of the crop, and therefore led to general selling scantiness of receipts here and increased demand from distillers who hold govern ment contracts were mainly responsible for subsequent rallies Offerings from southern states acted as an offset, how ever, and the bears apparently had the market well under control as the session came to an end.
 Oats sympathized with the decline in corn. Buying on the part of seaboard exporters, though the fact that receipts from the country were somewhat light, prevented any radical weakness.
 Arrivals of wheat proved to be little in excess of local milling requirements. Similar conditions were said to prevail at Minneapolis. Omaha and Kansas City. The evident slowness of the movement of sup plies was said to be largely due to coun- try dealers unfamiliarity with govern ment grades.
 Packers buying rallied the provision ! market from slight setbacks due to lower quotations on hogs. Most of the pur- chasing was of lard and ribs. Future quotations were as follows:
