COTTON MARKET
 WAS IRREGULAR
General List Closed Easy at Net Advance of 10 to
 B Points

, New York, September 10.-The cotton
 market was irregular again today and
 there were wide price movements all
 though business was comparatively quiet.
 The general list closed easy at a net
 advance of 10 to 5 points
 There seemed to be rather bearisn
 or reactionary sentiment around the
 ring at the start owing to reports of inn
 proving crop conditions in the southwest
 and that there was little prospect of any improvement in exports. The open
 ing was barely steady at an advance of 5 points and active months sold about
 IS 70 9 points net lower during the early
 trading There was not much southern
 selling, however, and offerings seemed
 to be pretty well absorbed.
 The market steadied and advanced sharply late in the morning on Liverpool buying and covering by October shorts who seemed to be alarmed by reports of
 a firm spot situation or the continued absence of hedge selling Stop orders were uncovered on the advance of s4 60c for January, with active months general ly selling 70 to so points net higher and s5 to 1o5 points above the low level of the morning.
 After the execution of the stop orders demand tapered off and the market re acted in the late trading under increased
 hedge selling and liquidation which ap- peared to be inspired by rumors that preliminary returns to a. private au- thority made. the mid month condition about the same as at the end of August or in the neighborhood of 57 per cent

OPLOSSORDERS l WERE UNCOVERED
Igulations of Bank Loans I[s Putting Big Deals to the Bad

|e ew York, September 10.-Stocks were Evous and unsettled again today, this k dition being generally ascribed to the Ere stringent regulations respecting kik loans. Considerable liquidation was messed in the first hour, many stop IS orders being uncovered.
 khorts were inclined to enlarge their &nmitments, but selling of that char f CT was nlinimized by the attitude of ,3 exchange authorities, who openly scourafed professional operations for 6her account.
 bcant attention was paid to the fur Err favorable war news, probably be- Llse bulletins suggested lull in the khting Domestic developments, aside
 bm the monetary situation, had no Sect bearing on the stock list.
 k'he tonnage report of the United States E,el corporation for August disclosing knominal decrease, was hardly mar ft factor. It is generally recognized Nut the business of the corporation is Nv practically on a war basis.
 fn keeping with it's custom of many 5ars, Steel furnished preponoerous Fare of the dealings at an extreme de-

The trading in stocks was of ner- vous and unsettled condition, which was ascribed to the stringent regulations re- specting loans. Many stop loss orders were uncovered.
 Aside from belated liquidation of such specialties as fertilizers and papers, at l to 2-point reactions, selling seemed to expend itself in the afternoon.

Stringent Loan Rule Is Curbing
 Wall Street Market Transactions
By JOHN C. NOSES

yesterday, although business as a whole was comparatively quiet. The general future list closed easy at a net advance of 10 to 8 points. Bears were busy at the outset on reports of better crop con- ditions in the southwest, Liverpool buy ing and covering by October shorts, who were alarmed at the firm spot situation and absence of hedge selling.
 The bearish government crop report caused big breaks in corn quotations in the grain pit. Failure of predicted frosts was a factor in trading. The staple closed steady, net 2ls to 3s4 cents down. Embargo news and the government re- port sent oats down ssc to 1c. Hogs went to new records, but provisions were infiu- enced by low grain figures and closed at 40c decline to 35c advance

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, September lO.-The bearish feeling due to the idea that the better weather Is increasing the prospects of the yield caused the decline during the first hour. A sharp advance quickly fol- lowed the execution of few moderate buying orders. This buying did not fol- low on the advance which, was slowly partially lost on the advices that good rains in India had improved crop pros- poets there On the whole there is little change in the attitude of the trade, which is inclined to the bear side on the heavy ginners report, as indicating a large amount of cotton to be sold at this basis Any demand. however, re- suits in a quick advance, due to the lack of sellers or of their confidence in their attitude.-Hubbard Bros x Co.
