NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, Sept 23.-An unfav- orable construction placed on price reductions of various sorts and trade news inE general from both foreipn and domestic markets, combined with gloomy private cablegrams concern ing labor troubles in England, caused general selling of cotton today, After advances of 3 to 20 points on Che near months on the opening call the market went to net declines. In the late trading the losses amounted to 8l to 120 poins. October went to 26.5O on the opening call and fell off to 25.2O at it's lowest, closing at 2525. Just on the close there were small upturns due to realizing of profits by shorts. Last prices were at net losses of 54 to 105 points.
 The feature of the English news was the claim that complete tie up of Lancashire mills was not improb- able next week asthe result of the threatened mills and coal strikes more or less selling was caused bv reports of soft spot markets inthe in- terror, where declines ranged from 25 to 175 points. Weather reports were bullish as they told of consider able rain in the belt but they had lit tie effect on values.
 The cotton market closed steady at net declines of 54 to 105 points.

"a thing out of the ordinary" Walker told him, beside himself with trying to solve the problem.
 "No hints dropped anywhere 2" questioned his employer.
 "No. On the surface the market is as steady as rock. From appear ance, Pve never seen conditions more normal. Look at the weeks activity. That proves it. There has been nothing unusual, in fact, for two 1 weeks. There's no nervousness, no uneasiness at all. It has all been all been"
 Walker was interrupted by his en- ployer supplying what he hesitated to say.
 Right here, eh?" said John De Haven.
 Walker was still little hesitant under his employers searching glance.
 "Yes," he said at length.
 "But there has been nervousness here, Walker" John De Haven in sisted. "You will admit that, of course. You have seen how we were handicapped and harassed at every turn"
 @"Oh, yes certainly agreed Walk er "That has been very plain"
 "Well, Monday may bring some kind of relief" said the other, hope fully.
 Perhaps it will," said Walker, encouragingly.
 The two men did not know that Clinton Dawes, now at Newport, had been in the city all week and would be back in New York when the stock exchange opened Monday morning. Nor would it have signified anything if they had known it. Yet that fact held possibilities of great importance to The De Haven Company. But Clinton Dawes knew, he who had driven with John De Haven's wife through the park and with he had seen the vagrant sitting on the bench. Tomorrow Searching for the Cause.

FURTHER DECLINE AND WEAKNESS ON
 COTTON MARKET

New York, Sept. 23. The cotton market was weak and lower again to- day with further decline in priecs. December contracts sod offtu 2I.3G. or l03 points below the closing prlces of the previous day and closed at 2l.i5 with the general market clos ing easy at net decline of 35 to 95 points.
 Reports of more sweeping re. duetion in prices by one of the lead ing cotton manufacturers and that prominent mail order houses had is- sued reduced price lists. appeared to be largely responsible for the carly sehlIng. Liverpool was better. hani due, but the market here opened easy at decline of 10 to 24 points on all months except October, which was five points higher.
 Selling from the south served to color reports of an casing spot basis under weight of increasing receipts and the market showed still greater weakness during the afternoon. Inc pressure seemed to be stimulated bv the use of banking facilities for the purpose of holding commodities for higher prices, Reports from London that delegates of the British coal miners had refused to consider pro- posals for second vote on the strike question also had depressing in- fluence and liquidation of October was particularly active The price of that month broke to 26.6O or 12o points net lower, while January sold off to 23.42 or 78 points below last night closing quotation. Last prices were 15 to 30 points up from the lowest CT covering. The weather man showed lght to heavy rains in the central gelt and the eastern belt fore cast was unfavorable, but the inn pression still prevailed thatthere had 6een no serious loss of cotton from the tropical storm. Port receipts to- day 9,597; United States port stocks S18,716. Exports 6.916, making 297,- 177 so far this season.

, want to see it next week. And," he added, savagely determined, "it sim l ply has to clear up next week or I'm going to find out what's at the bot tom of it. If there's nigger in my way, Pm going to kick him out. And if there is, Walker" he growled. "I'm going to set the dogs on him!" q don't blame you," said Walk CT.
 There was not much activity Sat urday morning in the market. The closing was early as usual that day and John De Haven was glad when it was over. He had gone to his of- flee in the morning, wondering what might develop in the short time the market would be open. He was a lit tie uneasy, too, for the afternoon be- fore he had failed of a movement of stock that under normal conditions, would have heen disposed of easily.
 The market seemed to be all right generally, but it had been hectic and feverish. when he had tried to op- crate. It had never been like that before in all his experience.
 John De Haven had been thinking the situation over since the after noon before. And he had arrived at no conclusion whatever. For the first time in his career he was baffled. He simply could not fathom it.
 The market opened Saturday mprn- ing as usual. John De Haven made no effort to operate. He rarely did anything on the short days anyway. Now he devoted himself to observing conditions in the hope of discovering what had affected The De Haven Com pany for parts of two weeks.
 | He asked innumerable questions of Walker who had an ear for gossip. He had sent Walker out for hours during the week with instructions to soak up all the gossip he could get hold of. Walker had come back dry every time until the head of The De Haven Company quit sending him.

More Trouble for John De Haven.

More Trouble fer John De Haven.
 Barbara had telegram from John De Haven Friday that he would not run down for the weekend. He did not explain further than to say he would not come. It had been hot and she inferred that he had worked hard and wanted to rest. She was glad he had not tried to make the trip.
 In New York her husband had la bored under a heavier strain than he had encountered the week before when he observed the first uneasi- ness in the market. He had found by degrees that operations as they concerned him were very nervous. There was a strong feeling of re- straint. He felt hedged about some how. He, himself, could hardly ex- plain it.
 "I'm used to fighting in the open, , John De Haven told Walker at last when they had exhausted every eff fort to ascertain what was causing the uneasiness and unrest they met everywhere. I want to see my man and know what he looks like," he complained. But a thing like this, elusive and mysterious, is what don't like. I wish I could put my finger on it or clap my eyes on it then I'd know what to do.''
 "You said you wanted to see your man," said Walker. "Think it is someone p
 His employer looked at him search ingly for a moment.
 "That was spoken figuratively. Walker" he explained. "No, l don't think it is someone fighting us. think 1t is merely a peculiar condi- tion of the market, little twist and that it will clear up in the next few days"
 "Been getting worse," said Walker lever since it started last week"
 John De Haven nodded.
