WHEAT PRICES WERE
 IN A DEMORALlZED
 CONDITION IN THE PIT
Shutting Down of Four Corn Products Manufactories Had Depressing Effect on Grain
Rv Associated Press

Chicago, september l4.-Ihe close III wheat was demoraliZed, 712c to 91ac net lower at $239%@2.40, December and March $23711. Corn lost 41sc to 5Bc, and oats 11s@1Ac to 21ac. In provisions the outcome varied from 10 cents decline to 40 cents advance.
 Although the wheat market had de- cided downward swing from the begin ring, it was not until near the Close that values commenced to smash in good earnest At this juncture, extensive hold ings thrown into the pot by houses With eastern connections, failed to meet any purchase orders other than from scat tered shorts. The almost complete ab- sence of support made any important rally out of the question for the time being, in the face of sterling weakness, rains in Argentina and word that on instructions from Europe all seaboard exporters had entirely withdrawn from the market. Much of the unloading which burdened the wheat market at the last was ascribed to a leading speculator in cotton.
 Shutting down of four corn products manufactories had a depressing effect or the corn market Furthermore, rural owners appeared to be liquidating and to be ignoring any likelihood of frost Oats receded with corn. Provisions were rel atively strong, owing to higher quotations on hogs.

New Orleanx cotton By Associated Press

New Orleans, September 14.-Low CT prices in moderate way prevailed in cotton today, except for small advances during very short period of the early session. Favorable weather over the
 belt, with indications that it would continue, continued poor trade reports from home and foreign markets, and anxiety over the labor conditions of England and Italy, were the main sell ing arguments. After declines of 23 to S9 points around the opening, as the result of poor cables and good weather, the market reacted on buying of covers by shorts and a small demand for long account based on expectations of favor able consumption returns for August. The reaction carried prices to levels ' to IT points over the close of yester- day, but it did not last long after the census bureau report on American mills
 for August was out.
 It placed American consumption dur
 ing August at 4S3,193 bales, against 525 405 in July of this year, and 497,319 in August of last year. Selling was in- creased by the favorable weather fore cast for the belt and by cablegrams from Liverpool stating that the spin ners' meeting, called to consider short time, had adjourned for fortnight without action, indicating that the market would have uncertainty over English running time for that much longer. October broke down to 26.05c, or 50 points under yesterdays close, but other months did not make new levels. Thes late trading was done on a drifting market with the close show | ing net losses of to 30 points.

IRREGULAR TRADING FEATURED COTTON
 MARKET YESTERDAY
General List Closed Steady, Net Fifteen Points Higher to Seven Points
 Lower
By Assnciafed Press

New York, September l4-The cotton market was nervous and irregular to- day, but trading was less active and fluctuations were less violent. After selling at 2525c early, December ad- the later trading and closed at 25.52c. The general list closed steady, net b points higher to points lower.
 There was selling early on the lower Liverpool cables, the uncertainty of the British trade outlook and continued fav- orable weather in the belt. First prices were four points higher on October, but generally to 13 points lower and active months soon showed net losses of 10 to P points. There was some trade buying at this level and the market steadied during the middle of the morning, when reports were circulated that the confer ence of cotton spinners in Manchester over the question of organized short time in Lancashire mills had been adjourned. Evidently local traders thought this &C., tion reflected opposition to the proposal. although one of the private cables re- ported that the adjournment had been taken to await the outcome of the labor dispute in the coal mines Some of the early sellers were buyers the rally from 27. .S5c to 2S.22c for October and from 24 COG to 24.43c for January, but the mar ket weakened again during the after noon owing to a decline in the near month at New Orleans and rumors of easier spots in the southwest October declined to 27s50c and January to 25.9Sc, last prices chewing rallies from the lowest on covering. The census report showing domestic mill consumption of 3,193 bales for August against 497319 last year was lower than indicated by returns but did not seem an important influence on the days market. Wall street was a considerable buyer and may have been influenced by better feeling in the stock market or the afternoon rally in sterling exchange. Port receipts today 17.4S3: United States port stocks 74704s; exports 11,073, making 234,39S so far this season.

POLITICAL TINGE
 ID STOCK MARKET
 ON MAINE ELEC|ON
Standard Rails Were Conspic- uous In Days Broader h.
 quiry, With Equipments !>. All Stronger

New York, September 14-The stoci market took on a political tinge today traders and speculative elements gener ally attributing the greater activity and high prices to the outcome of the Maine election.
 This theory was confirmed to the ex- tent that commission houses with direct connections to important centers o trade and industry reported a moderate revival of public interest in the more rep reStentative stocks.
 Standard rails were conspicuous in the days broader inquiry, with secondary or junior transportations and railroads equipment also strengthened substantial ly, with the steel group, after early heaviness.
 The feature of the railway division was Delaware, Lackawana and Western, registered a gain of slightly more than eight points on rumors that the com- pany's reported plan of segregation is taking shape.
 Among the other active and strong rails were western and southeastern is- sues, transcontinental and coalers.
 Advices from Mexico, quoting officials of that country in terms favorable to foreign-owned concessions gave impetus to the oils, especially Mexican and Pan- aman petroieums, Houston Oil and Rolal- al Dutch.
 Shippings, tobaccos, chemicals and tex tiles featured the more distinctive spe- cialties with motor accessories, but sell ing for profits caused irregular reactions in the final dealings. Sales amounted to 1000 shares.
 An interesting sidelight on current in- dustrial conditions was presented by the suspension of common dividends on Cud- ahy Packing and National Cloak ana Suit. Credit conditions, as expressed Tn call and time money rates, were un- changed, but exchange on London and Paris improved slightly.
 Aside from Liberty issues, which agah eased, the bond market, especially h- ternationals, was firm. Total sales par value, s11, 1,6o0,0o0. Old U. 5. bonds were unchanged on call.
