SEVERE BREAK ON
 COTTON MARKET
Close Was Steady at a Net Loss of 90 to 113
 Points

New York September 4-There was a break of over cent pound in the cot ton market today, with December con tracts selling off to 20.77c or $5.9e per bale below the closing price of Friday, and S27.20 per bale under the high price of last month
 Reports of good rains in Texas and of increased spot offerings over the holl- days seemed to stimulate selling on bear while nervousness was increased by the weakness in the stock market and be- yond covering there was very little de- mand in evidence. The close was steady at a net loss of 90 to 1lS points
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of 43@63 points. It looked as if a good many selling orders had accu- mulated over the three-day adjournment. partly for southern account which sug- gested hedging against the increasing new crop movement. There was also ac- tive selling for Liverpool believed to be against purchases of spots in the south and heavy reselling by buyers of last week. After the first rush of selling orders had been absorbed, the market stiffened upon reports that the rains in drouthy sections of Texas had come too late to help the crop and covering Ral- lies of 15 or 20 points met increased of- ferings, however, and the market was very weak during the afternoon under renewal of heavy general selling. Liv- erpool again figured prominently as a seller on the break into new low bound, while there was also heavy selling for Wall street and western ac- count. October broke to 2085c, and January to 20.72c with the general list showing a net loss of 1o6 to 11s points The close was 8 few points up from the lowest on covering

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, September 4.-Grain prices sut- ferd something of a setback today ow- Ing to weakness in the New York stock market. Corn closed heavy, ss1ssc net lower, with December at Sl.116l1115 and May at S1.0T1ld1.079s. Wheat practically
 disappeared as a board of trade commod- ity, but was held stable on the basis of s220 bushel for No. 1 northern grade,
 the standard recently fixed by represen- tatives of the federal government. Oats
 finished 1sD%c to %o off and provisions
 down 12c to 45c.
 It was not until the last hour of trad
 ing that bullfsh sentiment as to grain
 went into eclipse on account of the breaks
 in Wall street quotations. Previously. the corn market had been showing de- . cided upward tendency owing in the main
 to reports of frost damage in the north
 west Strong commission houses sab-
 sorbed all corn offerings during the bulge.
 A majority of such acquisitions were
 pressed back on the pit however, when
 the fact became evident that lquidating
 sales of securities had taken somewhat
 unusual turn. Absence of any seemingly adequate reason for the stock market
 weakness, instead of checking the decline here, appeared for the time being to em-
 phasize the prevailing uneasiness. As a 1 result, values at the finish were at about the lowest level of the day.
 Notwth standing the fact that federal buying of wheat would begin today had been we'll advertised a little business l was done at slightly above the govern
 ment basis, but this was quickly stopped by the food administrator and later sales were in complete accordance with the | official standard recently announced from | Washington. Consignees of wheat merely sent their merchandise to store and on l turning the warehouse receipt over to a
 representative of the rood administrator
 was given check for cash in payment. The exchange of the wheat for the money no longer took place on the board of | trade, but in an office building two blocks l away. Such operations proved to be of as humdrum a character as ordinary doings over the counter at a subtreasury or national bank.
 1 Oats were ruled by sympathy with the corn market. Some attention, though, was given to bearish crop estimates and l to an increase of the domestic visible /, supply total.
 l Lower values on hogs made the pro- vision market weaker from the outset i Packers, however, were fairly active buyers at the decline
 ] Future quotations were as follows: l Wheat Open, High. Low. Close l No trading in futures.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 4-Extremely heavy selling pressure was felt by the cotton market here today and prices re- sponded to it readily, standing at their lowest 11S to 126 points under the last prices of last week. Little recuperative power was displayed and the close was at a net loss of I'll to 11s points. There was much short selling, based on the break ing of the drouth in Texas and the un- favorable Russian news, and combined with this was heavy hedge selling against
 purchases of new crop cotton in the west. Sales of spots at Dallas alone were 21, ,70S bales, and Houston reported total sales | of 11.451 bales. Buyers apparently were active all over Texas and they sold a large amount of contracts against their purchases.
 1 Around the opening the market was about 50 points off Much was made of I the rains in Texas, which bearish traders ! figured had put an entirely different look on the crop outlook of that state. Rus sian news stimulated liquidation of long cotton By noon the market was about ! 75 points off. Minor reactions resulted from shorts profit taking, but In the aft ernoon the tone was weak under hedge selling and the lowest prices were reached
 | late in the session.
 | At the lowest levels, the nearer months
 | were sent below the POO level October
 | touching 19.90c a pound. Local spot quo
 tations were lowered 75 points to 21.75c for
 middling.

Army Should Now Become Reserve of Allies
 Thinks Prominent Deputy

Paris, September 4.-Abef Ferry prom inent member of the Chamber of Depu- ties contributes an article to the Petit Parisien on The War of Effectives." in which he says that the side whose re- verses first give out will be conquered. The general war plan of the allies. he believes, must take into proper account the wear and tear of French effectives and also the losses and the resources in men of each one of the allies.
 The deputy refers to the part in the war which has been played by the French army and says 1t should now become the reserve army of the coalition. The re- serves of the allies, he writes, are su- perior to those of the central powers, their armaments are as good and they have the superiority in production.

VALUES CRUMBLE
 ON STOCK EXCHANGE
War Shares and Kindred SpeciaItics Suffer Severe
 Setback

New York September 1.-The absolute dominance of short interest over pre- vailing market conditions was demon etrated anew today when stocks under wetn further serious depreciation. Some investment issues registered lowest prices of recent years, while others of i. less stable value established new min Simums.
 Crumbling of quoted values was the more disturbing from the fact that the movement not only proved a complete reversal of early tendencies, but en- compassed many high grade railroad shares at extreme recessions of to } points.
 Opening prices were 1 to 2 points high CT for many active stocks, the bears be- ing driven to cover mainly becausS of the Senate's rejection of the excess prof it's tax bill.
 Initial advances were more than main tained until noon, when New York Cen tral, St. Paul ana New Haven devel- oped acute weakness from the declining to low records. This seemed to be the occasion for general attack upon the entire railway list which yielded cas- fly on persistent pressure.
 With the breaR III fallS cdIle q iAiol0 severe setback to the industrials, not ably war shares and many kindred spe- cialties United States Steel fell from its early high of 111A which represent ed gain over last week of 2A to lo41a and closed at 10434, net loss of "A v ints.
 F Slipping oils motors and 8 few oth- Nt F stocks in which forenoon advances Fran from 8 to points reacted no less ,R sharply than steels. Activity was at it's flood in the final hour, that period also marking the days lowest prices.
 On the surface there was no definite news to explain the melting away of quotations, but various pessmistic ru- mors helped to bring about the setback.
 Bonds were heavy or weak with signs of liquidation. Liberty 315s ruled between ea.SS to 99.94. Total bond sales, par value, aggregated $3,680000.
 United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call.

the government the statement was made that the worst parts of the drouthy sec ton the stalk was dead and could not be revived by rains and the most favor- able conditions. The more optimistic among the bears, however, consider that the rains have given the Texas crop a new lease on life and that with a late frost the yield will be materially in- creased beyond that indicated at the end of last week
 The opening was at the decline and with only a few minor reactions. was gradually increased until, in the after noon, the active months were 91 to 105 points below the level of last weeks close.
 Spot accounts are that in the eastern belt offerings about equal the demand, but in Texas the demand does not ap- pear to be good.
 In some cases farmers are reported hauling cotton back home rather than to meet the decline. We believe that the market cannot be forced much lower without meeting buying or consequence.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter

New York, September 4--Oyer the hol- .idayss good rains fell in many places throughout the drouth section of Texas, whether they prove beneficial will de- pend on the condition of the plants where they fell The effect upon the traders was to induce them to buy on the opening decline, causing rally at which brokers who usually trade for the west were heavy buyers. However this demand was supplied by what ap- peared to be the liquidation of some long holdings, which had been carried down to this basis but which now were sold because of the rains A portion of these holdings were absorbed by spinners buy ing on a scale down. Hedge selling from southern spot houses was also fea- ture of the day. Our local traders think the decline too rapid and expect reae- ton,

(By private wire to s. R. stewart x Co.)
 New Orleans, September 4.-Western weather and politics over the holidays against the market Although preliminary advices had prepared the trade for the fall of Riga the event Itself had some pessi1nistic effect Washington, however, says the situation is discounted and ol no military importance.
 General rains covering practically the entire state of Texas occurred during the holidays and will undoubtedly result in some benefit to the crop there, al though continued rainfall may check movement and offerings. Rains were ex- tensive also over the eastern belt where it Is unfavorable. Should rainy weather continue over the eastern states, we may see a change in price views and cror basis.
 The weekly crop report tomorrow is likely to mention the unfavorable effect of excessive rains over eastern states in creased shedding and weevil damage.
 Our market opened 30 to 50 down or the execution of over holiday selling partly in connection with spots, but mostly based on politics and Texas rains There was no demoralization and trading settled at a decline of 50 points during the early afternoon.
 Later in the session there was renewed selling on weakness of the stock market which resulted in a decline to new low levels. Stop orders were uncovered anc the close was at a net decline of over 100 points from Fridays close
