IRREGULAR OPENING
ON COTTON EXCHANGE
Price.Fixing Talk Over
shadows All Other Influences.
October Drops l3 Points
New York. Sent. 10.

A denial by Senator Hoke Smith of a
supposed interview naming twenty-five
cents as the probable fixed price for cot
ton and twenty-eight cents as the
maximum overshadowed all other inf1u-
ences at the start in the cotton mar
ket and the tone was firm. october
dropped thirteen points on the call, but
other months We're six to twenty-three
points net higher.
After selling 25 to 80 points net lower,
right after the call under continuation
of yesterdays liquidation and southern
selling, the market became steadier on
trade buying and covering. Nervous
ness over the price-fxing proposition
had evidently been materially relieved
by the mornings advances.
There was a feeling around the ring
early, however, that between the heavy
ginnings and the price-fixing talk the
South had weakened and the selling was
based more upon remaining nervousness
over the price-fxing proposition.

PRICES AGAIN UNEVEN
IN THE CORN MARKET
Early Firmness of Deferred
Futures Followed by Re.
cessiOns at Close
Chicago, Sept. 10.

,"'"RO, sept. ".
while deferred corn futures were firm,
To-Day, they receded toward the cIosa
Price movement was again uneven. The
staol'ity of distant months was due to
huying on colder weather, with predic-
tons of frost tonight over a wide area
The late decline was due to liberal offer-
ings.
September acted heavy because of
the congested condition at primary
points and the possibility that the dlrec-
tors of the Board of Trade here would
make corn in cars on track deliverable
Offers of the latter were made at S1.4s.
The directors came to no definite de-
cision on the situation at their meeting
yesterday on the corn situation, cspe-
cially as to the delivery of corn in car
lots on track.
Trading in oats was fairly active. but
the market, after displaying firmness
on good buying by cash houses and local
interests, due to strength in the cash
article. sold off from the top There
was liquidation of long holdings. which
checked the advance.
There was considerable changing bv
elevator interests, who bought October
against sales of November Offerings
from the country were reported larger.
