BULLS WITHDRAW

 MONEY HARDENED
Wall Street Feels Demands Created By Another Up- ward Surge In the Price
 of Cotton
By Associated Press

New York, September 21--The same influences which facilitated the recent setback in the stock mar let were operative again today TO the withdrawal of bullish support and absence of public participation was added distinct tightening of money rates.
 Reversing it's usual course, money hardened with the progress of the session. An opening rate of 415 per cent gave way to 5 per cent at noon and 515 per cent in the final deal ings This was ascribed in large part to the heavy demands created by another upward surge in cotton prices.
 The most significant event<of the day, however, reduction of redis- counts by the local Federal reserve bank from 51a to 5 per cent did not become known until after the close of business. The cut was fore shadowed in advices from Washing ton following the recent meeting of the federal reserve board.
 Mexican Petroleum was the storm center of the stock market making a gross decline of points in the heavy offerings of the last hour, but iIcCONSiiIS diiuOsl udlI Oi itS iOsss Other oils, as well as industrials, shippings and specialties, also were under fire at that time, but rallied lbriskly before the end.
 Rails gave a better account of , themselves than any other group, coalers taking the lead. Announce ment of the declaration Of the regu- lar Northern Pacific dividend was stabilizing factor at the finish.
 Foreign exchanges were inclined to weaken at the outset on the lower range of quotations furnished by London, but rallied later. The few exceptions included Italian, Spanish and Greek bills.
 There was another active market in bonds with Liberty issues as the principal features. That group, how ever, as we'll as most, other impor- tant domestic and foreign offerings, was moderately irregular. Total sales, par value, aggregated s16.S75.- 900.

Wheat Dips Downward
 on News of French Import Grain Needs
By AssOc1ated Press

Chicago, September 21-Wheat turned downward in price today, saf- fected more or less by estimates that French import needs had already been overprovided for. The market closed heavy. 3A to S34 cents net lower, with December $1.2f13 to $1.25& and May s1,2SA to $L2S4a. Corn lost 5 tos1Ac. In provisions. the outcome varied from Ia cents decline to like advance.
 Heavy selling on the part of houses with eastern connections took place in the wheat pit. and there was pau city of buying orders. especially in the last part of the session. Bears contended that recent huge exports from the United States have furnished Europe with a greater supply than can be readily managed, and this view received special notice in relation to an official report that France has surplus of 2S,000,000 bushels over and bove bread and seed requirements. Meanwhile, new export business ap- peared to be lacking. and talk of better demand for flour at Minneapo lis and the southwest failed to bring about any important upturn. Some observers ascribed a large share of today's selling to cotton traders, who were said to have let go their wheat holdings and to have put out short lines instead
 December and May deliveries of corn reached a new low price record for the season. Predictions were current that the government October report would show larger crop than was looked for heretofore. Oats de- clined in sympathy.
 Provisions averaged. lower with grain. despite temporary strength borrowed from hogs and cotton.

DECEMBER COTTON
 CLOSED THE DAY
 ABOVE 70 CENTS
General Market Closed Strong at a Net Advance of TWen- ty-seven to Fifty Points
 for the Day
By Associated Press

New York, September 21.--The cot ton market was extremely nervous and irregular today. sharp early advance being followed by even sharper reactions from which there was a sudden recovery in the late trading. After selling at 20 33c early December broke to 19 52c and closed at 0.03c, compared with roc at the close yesterday. The general market closed strong at a net ad vance of 27 to 50 points.
 The opening advance of 35 to 49 points was due to rebuying by yes terdays sellers and q scattering commission house demand, which was promoted by relatively firm cables and reports of a distinct inn provement in Manchester Active months sold 52 to 6S points net high CT during the middle of the morning. October advancing to l9.9Sc and January to .29c There were in creased offerings at this level how ever, which included some south western selling as renewed realizing or liquidation by local and Wall st eet buyers of late last week, under which prices soon. turned easier.
 For time it looked as though the early buying had exhausted the immediate demand, and the weak ness became more pronounced when an unfav@rable weekly report from the weather bureau failed to stim- ulate fresh purchases october sold off to 10 15c and January to l9 Acc, or h to 19 points net lower. but the market suddenly turned strong just before the close on covering and bull support. There was no special change in the news to account for the rally of some 50 to 55 points from the lowest, but there was talk of better tone in the stock market, and possibly there was some buying on expectations of continued strength in Liverpool tomorrow.
 Private cables suggested that the better tone of Manchester was due to increased inquiries from the far east resulting from the advance in bar silver and rupee exchange. Con- fllcting opinions were expressed as to the probable showing of end month condition figures, which prob ably contributed to the unsettled ruling of the market.

New ' ork, September 21.-(Spe- cial.) l.)-lmprovement in the value Of the Indian rupse, making exchange more favorable for that country, brought a better demand in Man chester today with result that Liver pool market was decidedly better this morning Our market failed to fol- low, as some very large liquidatins orders made their appearance on the opening. In fact. liquidation has been going on rather steadily all day
 Weather conditions in the south are unfavorable, as rain is beginning to fall over a large part of the belt. The weekly weather report shows in- creasing damage from the army worm. On the whole the market is absorbing the early movement and the selling of that part of last years s cotton which is offered for sale around 20 cents. This selling may check the market for a few days. but with a number of private estimates due within the next few days, we can easily have a further advance from these leyels.-Hubbard Bros
