COTTON NERVOUS
 AFTER ADVANCES. OF PREVIOUS DAY

NEW YORK, Sept. 2o.4-The excited advance of yesterday afternoon was followed by very nervous and irreg- ular fluctuations in the cotton mar ket today. The 30-cent level for october contracts, appeared to at tract realizing, but the breaks brought in good deal of buying on the expectation of bullish end month crop reports and reports that spot shorts were finding it very diff fieult to secure the desired grade of cotton in the southwest. After sell ing off at 29.50 during the early trading, October rallied to 3002 but eased off again, closing at 29.7O. The general market closed barely steady at net advances of 10 points on Septembr and July, but from to 20 points net lower on the more active positions.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 40 points on September which was influenced by overnight buying orders. Later months were un- changed to 24 points lower owing to relatively easy cables, however and after some irregularity, prices broke rather sharply under heavy realizing or liquidation. December sold off to 29.20, and January to 2S,6S, making net declines of 22 to A points. the relative weakness of December being attributed partly 10 the uhuolhS ol straddles.
 This decline of about 42 to so points from yesterdays high records was checked by renewed covering and the market developed considerable strength during the middle of the day on the bullish character of the spot and crop news from Texas. Prl- vate advices indicated that shippers who had sold white cotton for Sep tember and October shipment were alarmed by the continued wet wealth CT and the lowering of grades and were trying to cover their commit ments. December here sold up to 29.75 and January to 29.06 or about Il to IT points net higher on the active months, but at these prices offerings increased and at the close was some 20 to 40 points off from the best. Exports today were 3,2SO bales making 592,311 so far this season. Port receipts today 19.529. U. s. port stock 344534.

 The raw sugar futures market was fiFmer early refleoting the strength in the spot market but eased off later yn- sold as high as 540e and closed at that level or 45 points above. the previous night on covering. Later active positions at one time showed advances of 6 to 1s points on covering and trade buying, but met re newed selling pressure around 4,9l for December and lost nearly all the gain. Final prices were AS points higher on September and unchanged to higher on other active positions. Closing. Septem- Der, 5.40o; December, 4.76ci March, S,sse ; May 3.92c.

NEW YORK FUTURES.

NEW ORLEANS Sept. 20.-Nervous fluctuations attended the trading In cot ton< today While the market stood at net gains practically throughout the ses- sion, the gains were more moderate than usual of late and not any too well sus- tained. The session was full of minor reactions, due to extensive realizing by the long interest, but these reactions al ways ran into new buying. The day wound up at net advances of IT to 36 pointa with the closing sales on October ranging from 2s.94c to 2S.95c pound.
 Continued rains in the western belt, more particularly in the northwest, and scattered rains in the eastern belt stiInu- lated buying on the opening sufficiently to put the trading positions 39 to 5S points up. but great deal of realizing came from the long side and reactions ensued. The market backed and filled for awhile, finally drifting off to levels unchanged to 22 points up, compared with the last quotations of yesterday. Oc- tober sold as low as 2S.s2c. Later on there was a full recovery apparently on a favorable view of the German repara- tions question and prices came back to new high levels. 42 to 60 points higher than the close of yesterday and to 29.20c for October.
 France would reject new reparations of fers and these cabled advices, uncon- firmed as they were, seemed to have much influence on sentiment so that prices dropped to a new low for the day. October trading down to 2S.77c. The close was much steadier, with prices well up from the lowest

FRESH ADVANCE IS| SCORED BY WHEAT M CHICAGO PIT

CHICAGO, Sept. 20,-Wheat scored material fresh advance in price here today largely as result of the fact that the Winnipeg was strong notwithstanding big rural deliveries. Chicago closing quotations were un- settled 3-4 to 1 1-4 net higher with December 1.09 s4@7-s to 1.03 7S and May 1O9 If. Corn finished 7-s to 1 3-Sc up, oats at IS to lie gain and provisions varying from g. cent decline to a rise of 12c.
 Obstinate resistance which the wheat market has shown of late against selling pressure gave bulls an initial advantage that was en- ment of differences between France and Germany and by gossip about Washington plans for farm relief measures. Rain and snow in the Canadian northwest tended also to lift values but the chief features throughout the day was the evident upward tendency of Winnipeg quota tions despite the fact that Canadian farmers were delivering wheat to country stations at the rate of about 100000 bushels every 24 hours a total considerable more than was the case a year ago.
 It was explained that so far the huge deliveries of wheat in Canada had proved to be no burden because to a large extent the growers were retaining ownership by taking stor- age tickets. In addition, much of the wheat delivered in Canada was satd to be to apply on previous sales thrilled owing to smallness of the Canadian old crop carry over. On the other hand, independent strength of the corn market here was also more or less effective as a stimu- Jus to wheat values.
 Wet weather unfavorable for ma turing the new corn crop, especially in fields damaged by frost and chief ly responsible for lifting the corn market Oats were firmer with other grain.
 Provision averaged higher as a re- suit of an upturn in hog values
