STOCKS BREAK ON
HIGH GRADE ISSUES
Subjected to Heavy Pres
sure Steels Are Very
Weak

New York, September 17.-Another
sharp break in stocks resulted today
from a resumption Of selling operations,
which at times were conducted in a
rather large scale. The recent marking
down of prices, extensive as it has been,
attracted no Investment buying of con-
sequence; on the other hand, renewal of
liquidation was evident among high
grade issues. Professional operators were
distinctly bearish. Traders on the short
side met with little opposition and the
downward sweep was carried in many
instances to new low prices.
There was no change in the general
situation of sufficient consequence to
account for the recession, which seemed
to be due to the continuing influence of
conditions with which the market has
been confronted for sometime. The UNI
settlement in Russia, uncertainty as to
the effect on securities of governmental
price fixing and of financial legiSla-
ton, and the firmness of money rates
tended to prevent a revival of buying.
The spreading of labor troubles in the
shipbuilding industry attracted good
deal of attention in the street, but its
effect was discounted largely by ex-
pectations of speedy adjustment.
Some of the heaviest professional sell
ing was in the steel group. Bethlehem
Steel broke badly to a new low figure,
with decline of points to $685.. New
low points also were reached by United
States Steel which was depressed 33s to
103sl. and by Midvale. The coppers also
yielded readily to pressure, and Utah,
Inspiration and smelling were forced
down 8 points or more. Further marked
weakness appeared in the shipping
shares
In the railroad list St. Paul was again
conspicuously weak, selling off 81 to a
new low quotation at 56A Reading gave
way under bear pressure to 77a, and
Norfolk and Western also reached the
lowest price of the movement.

COTTON LESS ACTIVE;
SOLD ON GOOD MAP
Rallies on Bullish Crop
Advices From the
East

New York, September 1.-THE cotton
market showed continued uneasiness
and irregularity, but business was less
active and' fluctuations less violent
than last week. After selling at 10000.
December broke to 1890. but rallied
to 20.24c and closed at 201Sc, COM
pared with 20.19c at the close on Sat
urday. The general list closed steady,
net points higher to 1 point lower
The market was irregular from the
start. The opening was points high
er to 1 point lower and there was scat
tered selling on a better appearing
weather map than expected, which sent
prices off 2 or points right after the
call. Private crop advices were bullish,
however, including semi monthly con-
dition reports from Dallas indicating
a deterioration of about per cent
since the end of August. There were
also reports of smaller spot offerings
from the south and the price soon rail-
lied on covering October sold up to
20.49c and January to 20.21c, with ac-
tive months generally working about
IL to 1T points net higher before the
end of the first hour. Offerings in
creased after the publication of fa-
vorabIe eastern belt forecast, and of
the detailed weather reports indicat-
ing that the rains caused by the south
Atlantic disturbance had been mainly
on the coast. Prices sold off pretty
sharply late in the forenoon, October
breaking to 20.08c and January to
1880, or 20 to 26 points under Sat
urday's closing figures. People around
the ring said they saw very little
hedge selling on this decline, which
tended to color the talk of smaller spot
offerings, and the market rallied again
during the afternoon. But the advance
was checked point or two, under the
high level of the morning by realizing
or a renewal of local pressure and ac-
tive months closed within a point or
two of their opening level.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 16-A steady
undertone prevailed in cotton here today
and in the afternoon the market had
strength of it's own on which it recovered
from the results of the selling pressure
which the bear element exerted. Last
prices showed net advances of to 16
points.
The opening had an upward trend and
soon after the call acrive months were
16 to IS points up, due chiefly to I'M
settled weather over the belt The i'm
provement was met by extremely heavy
selling the only excuse for which APP
pared to be disquieting rumors regard
ing Russian politics. The only sharp
break, the market fell TO level q to 26
points under last weeks close. Then a
fair demand developed on poor crop ac-
counts, and in the early afternoon prices
again were back at nearly the highest of
the day.
The crop reports were almost sensa-
tionally bullish, especially those from the
ca stern belt, where abnormally severe
deterioration, evens for September, was
claimed, together with much boil Wee
vii damage Bearish traders were in
clined to cover in the afternoon on crop
news.

Did He Know Colors?

From Desert News.
He couldn't see anything but green
and he wasn't Irish. either. The trou-
BILE with Hyrum A. Douglas Of Pay
son. who sought enlistment at the
local office of the marine corps. was
his inability to distinguish colors.
He was as blind at a bat-color
blind. that is.
After passing his general physical
examination even to the eyesight test
with a good showing. he slipped up
on the yarns.
When confronted with basket of
colored yarn and told to pick out
reds of similar shade he choose a
deep green and when asked to match
the yellows he also picked greens.
Told he could not be accepted by
the service. he went away with the
remark: How could you expect me
to-: never did any sewing In my
life"

Thomson & McKinnon's Letter

Corn; Lower values in corn were a
reflection of sharp decline in the price
of old corn and Ideal weather over the
entire belt. Pressure has been pro-
nounced at times, but on the extreme
decline market encountered sufficient
demand in the way of acceptances OF
profits on prior sales to steady the mar
ket and prices advanced ] cent from the
low. Cash corn was loo to 12c lower
here and from 10 to 15c lower In west
ern markets with country offering re-
newed and from wider territory, both
Iowa and Missouri having moderate
amounts for sale. Sentiment tonight Is
rather mixed some of the larger local
traders being friendly on the theory that
another 80 days Of favorable weather is
necessary to mature the crop. We are
unable to discover anything in the
weather outlook or cash situation to
suggest sustained advance, but in rec
ognitfon of the resistance of the mar
ket to pressure, we suggest that accept
ance of profits by former sellers seems
to be in order on depression from this
level.
Oats: The action Of corn has been
mainly responsible for decline in oats
values, as the offerings from the coun-
try were modified by the decline In
price. Smaller local traders placed
considerable pressure on the market,
owing to the absence of export demand.
However at the last Atlantic coast buy
ers re-entered the market resulting in
business estimated at about 100000 here
and possibly 100000 from Minneapolis.
Further deliveries on September con-
tracts are probable. in view of sales of
/ 100000 made today to go to store This
market is on merchandising basis and
will therefore be influenced by corn
within narrow limits.-Thompson & Nc

The stock market was extremely
weak again yesterday and renewed
drives on high priced securities, and
extreme pressure on the steel issues
were the features of the day. The adj
vances recently made in the govern

of taxable securities and the placing
of funds into government bonds. Be-
sides this feature, the stock market
has unmistakable evidence of discount

CORN MARKET SOLD
ON IDEAL WEATHER
Frost Damage, Said to Be
Slight, Also Bear
Factor

Chicago, September 17.T-Corn slid down
ward in value today, influenced mainly
by the prevailing ideal weather for ma
turing the seasons crop. Prices, although
steady at the close. were 1lsd1Bc net
lower at s1.1591. 151a December and SI2h
61.124s to 112A May. Oats finished M
1.c off In provisions the outcome
ranged from Csc decline to an advance
of 4c.
General selling of corn started as soon
as trading began. Clear skies and warm
temperatures formed the rule in every
direction, and besides. there were adyices
at hand distinctly minimizing the amount
of damage said to have been inflicted last
week by frost. Meanwhile, the fact that
country offerings were liberal formed a
hindrance to rallies, and SO, too, did
weakness in the New York stock market.
Nevertheless, profit taking on the part
of the shorts assumed considerable vol
ume, and brought about fair upturn
from the low point of the day as the ses-
sion reached an end.
Oats sympathized with the weakness
of corn Some support, however, was
sven in the last half of the day after
the fact became apparent that exporters
were picking up supplies. The receipts
here today tota1led nearly 600 carloads.
Arrivals of wheat showed a notable en-
largement, especially in the northwest

Stock Market Action Presages Peace;
Cotton Rallies on Bad Crop News
By c. f. AVERY

= 4 ' kIFt 7
Holland in his letter of Sunday men
toned the same thing and it would not
surprise me if this was the beginning
of the end.
The cotton market opened up on bad
weather over Sunday. but met determ-
ined bear pressure, and, it was SAID
hedge selling from the south. This
phrase hedge selling from the south"
is misleading, it does not mean that
farmers are sellers, on the contrary
even now with the movement well un-
der way, the farmers are selling spar
ingly. They know better than any one
else how the crop has gone back in
the last two weeks. This latter fact
was the case for rally today, which
recovered the early losses.

Shenard e. Chicks Letter

While the cotton market felt rather Sc
we're selling pressure for awhile today,
the undertone was steady enough and
general complaint of crop deterioration
and the consequent outlook for bull
lish September crop report made for
rather more recuperative power than
has been shown Of late. There was lit
tie excuse for the selling and it merely
reflected the bearish way of thinking
into which many traders have fallen of
late
It is now claimed in reports from east
ern belt that September deterioration
thus far has been abnormally severe
The western belt quite generally re-
ports general deterioration severe in
places Weevil damage is now very
great the work of the insect having
been stimulated by lower temperatures
and the cloudy and rainy weather We
can see nothing in this to urge sales
especially at prevailing prices On the
contrary our view is that cotton is pur-
chase.
