COTTON MARKETS.
New York, Sept. IL

New York. Sept. 1.-THE cotton market was
irregular today, rallying after showing weakness
ard finishing not far from Saturdays final
prices. There was quite some selling at the
opening.
A favorable Eastern belt forecast was followed
by increased offerings toward the middle Of
the morning and prices broke pretty sharply.
The early advance had carried October up TO
a.l3 and January to 2.21, or about IL to II
points net higher. The market rallied some Q
OF 10 points from the lowest after II O'Clock.
In the afternoon the market became frmer
on demand from New Orleans and consider
able local covering.
The strength Of the last hour was based on
reports of stronger interior SPOT markets and
bullish Eastern belt crop adrices. Futures here
slosed steady at an advance Of Ave points to
10 close Of / point. The receipts of cotton at
the ports for the day were q 557 bales, against
q .37s bales a week ago. %. .4z bales year ago
and 5oloo bales two years ago. Socks in New
York were Sizes bales, against so.ss3 bales q
year ago. No exports were reported for the
day. For the season the clearances amount to

TRADING IS dull
ON LOCAL EXCHANGE
Few Selling Orders Recorded-Con.
tinental Dividend Declared.

s Little business was done during
yesterdays session on the local stock
exchange. Quotations show that the
bid and asked figures were at about
the closing levels Of last week. There
were few selling orders and fewer in
vestment commissions.
The regular quarterly dividend of
1 1-2 per cent on the capital stock Of
the Continental Trust Company has
been declared payable September 30,
to shareholders Of record September

District of Columbia per cent
bonds have been stricken from the
list by the listing committee Of the
local stock exchange which has list
ed $500. 900 of s per cent bonds for the
same corporation.
The new bonds are secured by a
first mortgage on all the property of
the corporation with a sinking fund
of 2 per cent for the third and fourth
year of the life of the bonds. 3 per
cent for the fifth and sixth years
and thereafter 4 per cent per annum
for repurchase of the bonds II OBJ
tainabla In the open market Of 1e4,
and such bonds as purchased must
be kept alive in the sinking fund.
The following analysis of the New
York market situation was received
late yesterday afternoon by w. B.
Hibbs and Company, from c. B.
Chaplin and Company. their New
York correspondents:
THE market was liQuidating one
from the start with pressure direct
ed chiefly against the steel stocks,
where in some instances sharp de-
clines were recorded.
There was no special news In cir
culation other than reports OF labor
trouble on the Pacific coast and the
well defined prospects of stin money
rates for the near and distant future.
The steady liquidation Of the SOCIAL
ed high grade Investment stocks ana
bonds and the unwillingness or the
public TO make purchases even at the
considered low levels. being the fac
tors primarily responsible for the
day to day depreciation in quoted
values.
'It is quite natural that to con-
form to the new order Of things
growing out of our active participa-
ton in hostilities a broad investment
should be subjected to the readtust-
ment which has been in progress Tor
some time"
The Washington herald., 1917-09-18
The World of Finance and Trade
new YORK EXCHANGE
STOCKS SUFFER Loss
Nearly Every Item Showed Decrease
During Yesterdays Session.

(By the International News Servlce.)
New York. Sept filed by the steel
and shipping issues. nearly every stock
listed on the exchange suffered loss
in today's trading. Active liquidation
was noticed in the issues named. and
the others sold down In sympathy.
Tight money. manifested by the in
ability of borrowers, even with gooo
collateral. to secure loans for a longer
period than twenty-four hours, was
the underlying cause of the slump
Cail money ruled at per cent. but
per cent was demanded on indus
trial collateral.
Another but lesser reason for tho
sharp decline was the liquidation by
holders OF securities who desire to re-
invest In liberty bonds to avoid the
income tax on other forms OF stocks
and bonds. Liberty bonds sold freely
at par, and there were indications
that soon they will be hidden to a
premium.
The difficulty of securing collateral
loan money naturally had a tendency
TO discourage trading by small in
Vestors. This. OF course. removed a
source of strength from the market,
which was practically at the mercy
OF bear traders throughout the day.

| FOR SOUTHERNERS
Asks Great Britain Not to With

Secretary McAdoo yesterday cabled
appeal to the British government to
change its policy OF withdrawing Brit
ish capital invested In farm mortgages
in Southern States.
Southern Senators. headed by sena-
tor Rahsdell. of Louisiana. called on
him Yesterday to urge this appeal
They pointed out that the with
drawal OF the s11o.oco.ooo in British
capital from the Southern States
would seriously affect the farmer.
The British policy was adopted early
this year. before we entered the war.
and 1t Is expected that the appeal will
be successful.
