WEAKENED TECHNICAL CONDITIONS PREVAIL
 IN THE STOCK LIST
By Associated Prssa

New York, September 23.-Whilc the Turkish war scare and highe< money rates were used as an ex- cuse for two sharp reactions in the stock market this week, which car ried some of the leaders one to three points below last weeks levels, opin- ion was quite general that the de- clines were precipitated by a weak ened technical condition. It was largely "a traders market" with no extensive outside participation.
 Developments in the near east caused some concern but the behavior of the markets reflected the financia: communitys belief that the trouble would be settled hv diplomacy rather than on the battlefield. Domestic de- velopments continued favorable. the heavy bituminous production enab- ling number of industries to in- crease production while good prog ress is being made in the movement of anthracite coal. The railroad shop mems strike has faded into the back ground.
 The moderate revival of business is also reflected in the steady increase in car loadings and the increase in federal reserve notes in actual cir culation. A few industries such as the building trades and motor car manufacturers are beginning to feel the effects of seasonal dullness.
 Commodity prices are still tending upward. The war scare proved an important factor in boosting wheat prices this week but had an unfa-

New York, September 23.-Cotton goods markets nave been much firmer and have continued moderate ly active this week. Advances are being paid on some of the more staple domestics and the slight ad- vances in gray cloths have been fully sustained. The demand has broadened, and while buyers are not anticipating freely they are doing much better than they were earlier in the month. Percales are now be- ing sold carrying spring dating on goods deliverable to the end of the year at old prices. No new prices for spring have yet been named on dress ginghams. Eastern tiekings have been advanced 1c yard and some of the choice eastern branded mus lins are up 1c.
 Commission houses have been sell ing to the jobbing trade quite freely, most buyers taking domestics for de- livery until the end of the year. Fine cembed yarn goods have beon less active than print cloths or sheetings. In wash fabrics lines the principal business is in faneies on crepe and voile grounds and with ratine deco- rations. Cotton blankets and mapped goods are in better call. Heavy yarns have been more active and prices are firmer. Knit goods are being sought for immediate delivery.
 Current prices in first hands are as follows: Print cloths, 2S-inch. 64x64s, 71sc: 64x60s. 6zc; 3sh inch, 64x64s, 9A brown sheetings. south ern standards. 13Ae; tickings, B. ounce. 26e: denims. 220s. 1Sh @19c; staple ginghams, 14Ac; dress ging- hams, 1s@2015c: prints, 10Ac.

COTTON HIGHER ASI HOPEFUL VIEW IS
 TAKEN BY TRADERS
By AsaocIated Prena

New York. September 23.-The cot ton market was higher today on more hopeful view of political conditions abroad, reports of an in- creasing demand for cotton goods, and covering by recent sellers. De- cember contracts sold up to 21.49c or 31 points net higher and closed at 21.40c, with the general market closing very steady at 14 to 29 points net higher.
 The market opened firm, advan. cing to IS points on the better feeling over the Near Eastern situa- tion. reports of improved tone in the stock market and of a steadier rul- ing in forcing exchange. There was scattered southern selling and real izing, promoted by continued good weather for picking and marketing in the south, but the offerings were readily absorbed on slight recessions and the market climbed 24 to 34 points late in the morning. with Oc- tober selling at 21.33c and January 21.30c or about SO to 65 points above yesterday mornings low. The close was few points off from the best.
 Weekend reviews of the goods Lrdue were commented upon as ln- dicating a gradually expanding busi- ness following the settlement of la bor troubles and the elimination of tariff uncertainties. The advance may also have been encouraged by reports that southwestern author ity estimated the crop at only g. 7O5, GOO bales. which tended to strengthen the bullish view of the croD outlook but good deal of the buying was attributed to covering for over the weekend and a firmer technical position.
 It is reported that the bulk hedge selling so far has come from the southwest and it is asserted that southern mills are getting the bulk of the eastern belt cotton as it be- comes available.
 According to reports received here, Texas offerings are now becoming lighter.

BREAK IN WHEAT ON FOREIGN NEWS
 IN CHICAGOPIT
By Associated Press

Chicago, September 2S.-Wheat broke sharply today as result of news from abroad which told of a more favorable political situation and because of a decline at Liver pool. There was general selling at the start and some stop loss orders were caught on the way down. The finish was weak, at net loss or 1Bs to 2As, with December $1.05B to s1.06 and May S1.10 to s1.10 A ]; corn was off 5sc to 112c, oats de- clined K c to 2 c and provisions were unchanged to 621s higher.
 Cable news and trade reports were of more peaceful nature. This caused some heavy selling of long wheat by the war bulls and prices slid downwards before the demand became broad enough to absorb the offerings. Toward the finish week end evening up by shorts gave the market a slight upturn.
 Corn and oats were affected by the action of wheat and averaged lower. Sentiment was inclined to the bull side and on the breaks nu- merous small buying orders were brought out.
 Provisions averaged higher with renewed buying of nearby deliveries of lard by leading packers.

This morning compared with week ago wheat was up sac to 7asc a bushel, with corn showing gain of II Ac to 2Ac, and oats 1hO Ac to 2ss @2%c. The net difference in provisions varied from 5c decline to a rise of 32c.
 The biggest upturn in the wheat market, together with the largest volume of trading quickly followed announcement that the entire British Asiatic fleet had been ordered to Constantinople and that arms fac tories in Great Britain would work day and night at full capacity. ;n the first furry here, nearly 6c a bushel advance took place at the rate of an additional cent in every 10 minutes, affecting the value of mil lions of bushels of grain.
 Although peace moves and absence Of word as to any actual fighting led to subsequent rapid fluctuations in the wheat market, tension among traders grew more acute as the week crew to an end especially after news came that the Turks had stolen a march on the British. and had ap- parently gained control of the en- trance of the Dardanelles.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON D. A..4n;a4oI praaa
By Associated Press ~,

New Orleans Septem 23.-The better turn in the foreign political situation gave the cotton market a firm undertone to- day. The opening was strongly higher and the first advance carried prices to their highest, s1 to 37 points over the last quotations of yesterday. Around the mid :. dle of the session there were small de- pressions from the highest levels, the mar ket standing about 10 points off from the highest levels for 8 while, under week end realizing by longs. but in the late trading there was another rally to nearly the best prices of the day. The close was steady at net gains on the session of 23 to 2S points, October closing at 20.66c. At the highest levels, October traded at 2o.7Sc.
 steadness in the late trading was gen. orally ascribed to expectations of low con dition figures from private bureaus on the opening of next week. Much attention was paid to a private crop estimate of 9.705,0o0 bales, issued overnight. This was accompanied by an estimate of 3.000,- 900 bales as the probable outturn of the Texas crop and a statement that the crop of that state already was more than half picked and sold.
 The improvement in this country noted in week reviews of trade in general was help to the market the opening, being regarded especially favorable in connection with the betterment in cotton goods trade reported in the recent past.

,. R. STEWART & CO.'S LETTER

Birmingham, September 23.-Cotton again ruled firm during the short session today in the absence of Liverpool and any particular cotton news. The initial prices were about 10 points above yesterdays finals and from this level there was buy ing of good character coming in during the balance of the session. The close was at tho highest and 30 points above the previous close, with the exception of the October option In New York, where there appears to have been considerable selling of this month and the switching into the clement of the Near East situation was apparently the basis for today's higher market. Liverpool. Wall street and the western crowd bought their shorts in while the south sold. mostly hedge selling it was presumed. but offerings were only moderate.
 The buying looked to be partly week end covering and partly speculative purchases There was domestic cotton news except a statement showing a big increase in spindle hours in August compared with July.
 The spot situation continues to improve as prices advance. Southern spots were generally unchanged to 25 points up. with reports of good inquiry everywhere. south ern spot markets sold yesterday 4S 000 of which Texas sold 36.o0o.
 We will probably have trading mar ket next week awaiting the bureau Octo- Der 1. The trade appears to consider around 20b0c for December, New Orleans believe much higher prices will even tualy be seen and favor taking advantage of all setbacks which to make pur- chases.-S. R. Stewart & Co
