NEW WORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 25.-After a bulge of 21 to 29 points soon after the opening today the cotton market turned soft and spent the remainder of the day in gradually sagging, finally closing easy points. with october at a range of 27.4Sc sold al 27.39c and here the list stood at net declines of 57 to 66 points.
 The early steadiness seemed to be all most entirely due to a favorable opinion of the Eurpean political situation, while the easiness that follwed was based on operations designed to bring about a reac- tion from the advance, having as the main excuse a considerably higher range to in dicate crop figures. Of the private re- ports on the crop of the day that at
 tracted most attention the range was from l0S75,O00 bales up to predictions that the governments indicated crop fig ures accompanying the September condi- tion report would be above 11.000, 900 bales. Condition figures issued during the
 day ranged from 49 to 50.2 per cent of
 The weather over the bert was favorable enough to stimulate considerable selling | in addition to that which came from other sources Most of the belt was dry and the forecast did not call for rains of consequence anywhere in the ce4ton re- zion. In the second half of the session l weakness in the stock market caused | sympathetic selling of cotton During the ! early part of the day the tone was steady | enough. but in the late trading the tone was soft.

HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER

NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-Camles were about as expected this morning and our nights close with fair demand from the trade. The south offered little for sale, so that prices improved slightly, but immediately ran into some heavy realiz- ing on old cotton which had been bought on the previous advance. The selling of this cotton caught stop loss orders, carry ing the market into new low levels. The feeling is now becoming very much against the market on the idea that with the inn proved weather in the south the move ment will become very havy and that as consequence our market will not be able 10 absorb the hedging which will make it's appearance. On the other hand, how ever, it is noticeable that the Americ m mills are calling cotton quietly but stead fly on the decline, and we believe that with the removal of these contracts the market will have it's influence on the near distant future Moreover, VIC are approaching the government report which may be very bullish.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Prices in today's curb market opened firm, but developed considerable irregularity later with the major activity on the downward side. Rumors of new financing by some of the smaller companies were revived and had a depressing effect on a number of the oil shares.
 Standard Oil of Indiana and New York each clt sed % of point lower while losses of 1 to points were recorded by Vacuum, Gul of Pennsylvania, Mexico and Imperial of Canada.
 Motor shares were the conspicu- ously heavy spots of the industrial group. Durant dropping IF points tC 29. These issues were sold on the theory that the industry would be among the first to suffer by a fall ing off of business in other com mercial lines. Gillette Safety Razor broke 515 points on a small turn over. Gold Dust common, selling on when issued" basis hit new high at "A, and then dropped about 2 points.
 Mining shares fluctuated within narrow limits with the principal activity again in the penny stocks.

SALES TO REALIZE PROFITS OFFSET GAIN IN WHEAT

CHICAG, Sept. 25.-Although end- ing of Germany's passive resistance gave a lift to wheat prices today, the effect was afterward more than off set by heavy sales to realize profits. Closing quotations were unsettled at lower, with December s1.041 Is O 1.04 A and May s1.093s. Corn finished un- changed to 1Bc higher; oats a shade to ssc up, and provisions at gains varying from Pc to 20c.
 With news at hand that Germany had officiolly surrendered in her eco- homie struggle against France. the wheat market took a decided upward swing during the first hour of trad ing. Removal of hedges on 100000 bushels. chiefly Canadian whet taken for Europe, tended further to hoist values. However, after the Decem- Der delivery here had risen more than 4c above its recent low point and had virtually overcome all the loss occasioned py recent big Ca nadian estimates, profit taking sales reached such volume that down turn in prices ensued. All months dropped below yesterdays finish but something of a rally was again In progress as the day drew to an end.
 Bears in the wheat market put stress mainly on the continued up- eral receipts at Winnipeg and on the fact that cash premil ms there were flower. Besides, more hedging pres sure was noted at Minneapolis than for sometime and in this connection it was said Canadian wheat was nearly at a price basis for import into the United States. The fact that the cabinet at Washington today considered raising the tariff on wheat was practically unknown here until the market had closed.
 Corn and oats were dominated as heretofore by frost damage and corn scarcity. New high price records for the season resulted both in corn and oats.
 Provisions reflected the better for eign outlook.

EXTRAORDINARY
 COTTON CLOSES IN GENERAL DECLINE

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The cotton market was lower today. There was some buying on the better European political news at the start, but after
 selling up to 2S.73 or 25 points net higher, December broke to 2790, making a net decline of 58 points and reaction of cents per pound from
 the high record of last week. De- cember closed at 27.90, with the gen
 eral market closing easy at net de- clines of 45 to 6S points.
 The market opened steady at de-
 cline of 12 points on November, but generally unchanged to 4 points higher There were a good many
 overnight orders around the ring,
 but they were quite readily ab- sorbed, owing to the better poli- tical news from abroad and the mar
 ket soon showed net advances of 20 to 32 points, with October selling at 29.20 and January at 2S.28. The Liver
 pool market. however, was barely up to expectations and offerings here increased on the advance with the
 market soon turning easier. The failure of the foreign news to create a more general demand was evident ly a disappointment to early buyers and selling became more active after the publication of a private report, placing the condition at 50.2 and the indicated yield at 10,S75,000 bales.
 Reports of scattering showers in the southwest caused little flurries or covering during the middle of the day, the bulges all met increased of-
 ferings of long account and scatter 1 ed selling for 8 reaction. Another private report making the condition 4e.1 and the indicated crop 1o,9o0,- | mo halas seemed to increase the un-
 certainty as to the showing of tho governments report next week while i the afternoon was also influenced | by reports of an easier tone in cot ton goods October sold off to 2s.SO
 and January 27.44. making net de-
 clines of 4s to 5s points on the
 active months. only one October
 notice was issued this morning, but there was continued talk of possible
 shipments here before the end of
 next month. Exports today, 26,So7'

pie, who have been pestering US every
day since we came here, get off with
out any increase whatsoever"
Caplis of Silver Bow explained his
vote as follows:
II have been member of this body
for 81 days and have seen how sue
cessfully wealth has resisted all eff
forts to tax it, SO / do not care TO aid
during the last two days of this ses-
sion in seeing more taxation burdens
Plssss the hsck Of the people, wae,
unlike wealth, have been unable to
resist taxation efforts"
Authors of the bill were defended
by Carlson of Gallatin, who said the
measure had been hurriedly drawn by
as good men rs there were in the
house. He said the bill was intended
as an emergency relief measure.
Pope of Missoula said he thought
the bill could be amended 80 as to
make at all right and so its passage
would be Of benefit to all.
Scharnikow of Powell, said to have
been the original author Of the bill,
demanded five minutes to explain his
vote. He defended the measure de-
claring the state board Of equalization
has partially approved the bill and re-
garded it with favor. He said that
under the provisions of the bill man
owning $4,000 worth of property
would have his taxes increased only
s1.75.
THE governor threw down the chal-
lenge," said Scharnikow, "to this
house yesterday and we either have to
cripple our institutions or raise more
money. AS the governor said, we can't
make money out of wind and this bill
was intended as a remedial piece Of
legislation The tax increase is very
small and in fact will affect for the
most part the large taxpayers. The
