COURSE IF STOCKS FAILS TO FOLLOW
 ROUTES EXHIBITED
Removal Of So-CaIIed De- pressing Influences Fol-
 lowed By Price Drop
By WALTER B. BROWN Editor New York Commercial Leased Wire to The AEe-Hcrald)

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-It has been a somewhat hectic week in the stock market which has during a good part of the time pursued course directly opposite from that laid out for it by competent market ob- servers. With the settlement of the coal strike. such ss it was, and with affairs abroad taking more favor able turn, those conditions which have been causing the market real anxiety have 'simmered down to a point where there seems some pros pect of an ultimate solution of the problems involved, which is more than could be said of them for some time.
 If these were the depressing influ- ences that have been holding the market in check, their removal should certainly have ushered in an advance.
 Thnid Holders Turn TO Selling.
 Fully half of the August advance market on the old-time theory that it is in more vulnerable position after 'the news is out" and such success as they had rather under mined the courage of timid holders until there was greater liquidation than there has been any time for many weeks.
 means been made up, so far as actual was lost within two days, but later the decline was checked, and a some whatf steadier feeling ehsued. Much was made of the report concerning the 3teel industry showing that the scsle Of opeations had declined somewhat, but Judge Gary made haste to assure the community that these declines in bookings were merely seasonal, and that the prob ability was that new orders within the next 60 days would exceed those of the past like period.
 Buyers Await Developments
 That there has been some holding back of steel buying cannot be de- nied. Buyers have been somewhat uncertain Ss to the future, and as most of them have had their commit ments covered for immediate re- qlirements they have been willing to stand aside in order to permit the situation to develop q little more definitely. There has been the fear of further imitation on the labor side, which has to some extent been real ized by the changing over from the 12-hour to S-hour shifts, which usually has been effected on the compromise basis of ten hours pay. This has undoubtedly increased the cost of production.
 The housing shortage has by no means been made up, so far is actual requirements are concerned, but the point has been reached where apart rrents and dwellings cannot yield a fair return on their cost, and the et- fort to catch up with requirements will have to be deferred until costs come down.

WHEAT AVERAGES LOWER IN SPITE
 OF MANY UPTURNS

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-Notwith- ing numerous upturns, wheat aver aged lower in price today, largely as a result of increasing arrivals of new wheat at Winnipeg. The market here closed unsettled al the same as yes
 terday's finish to F e down, with De cember S1.025s 0fl.034 and May S1.0S varying from Is c l.. c decline to 14c advance oats 1aQAc up, and pro-
 visions at 5G22c gain.
 1 With advices a t hand that receipts { of new wheat in Winnipeg tomor- row would total 1,400 carloads as
 against s39 today and 233 week
 ago, buying orders here failed to , follow advances in price. Purchas- ing was confined largely to houses
 that had been on the selling side of late and were in position to collect profits. The fact that values had fallen about 49Ac from the recent high point attracted some notice, but failed to stimulate sustained buying On the other hand, bears estimated that Canadian farmers had marketed S,700,000 bushels at country points yesterday and 3,000,00O but the day before, and the average would exceed 100000 bushels within short time. During the late dealings, especially wheat here showed a downward ten
 dency, with indications pointing to increased hedging pressure. Ex-
 porters were said to have been good buyers early at Winnipeg, but the seaboard continued to emphasize
 mention of relatively slow demand
 from Europe. Bulls meanwhile got
 some comfort from an official esti- mate that the carry-over of old wheat
 in Canada is 11,70G000 bushels, com pared with 19,462,000 bushels last year.
 Corn was easy with wheat, despite complaints of damage by frost. Oats celpts here.
 Higher quotatioSH5 on hogs strengthened the provision market.

DECLINES FOLLOW ADVANCE OF $2 IN PRICE OF COTTON

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-An early advance of approximately S2 per pale in the cotton market here today was followed by reactions. December contracts broke from 27.6S, the early high leved, to 27.23 and closed at 27.35 with the general market clos ing steady, net 20 points higher to 10 points lower. Closing prices on the active months were about s to 10 points net higher.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 20 to S1 points and showed considerable strength during the early trading, owing to bullish advices from Liverpool, covering and fresh buying. October sold up to 27.97 and January to 27.20, but offer ings again increased as prices ap- preached the 2S-cent level and after the more urgent nearby demands had been supplied, prices turned easier. For a time orders seemed to be very evenly divided at reactions of or 10 points from the best, but the selling pressure gradually increased and the market was rather weak during the afternooR. October sold off to 27.54 ana January to 26.S0 making declines of about 3S to AT points from the early high levels on the general list. One of the private midmonth crop reports placing the condition at 54 and the indicated crop 11,300,0O0 bales may have been responsible for the afternoon decline, but the factor most generally discussed was the prospect for rapidly Increasing avail able suppiiesN Tss picking becomes more general Private cables from Liverpool said that Lancashire. was receiving Sgood orders from India, and that business in spot cotton was restricted. by the small available supply in the English market, also ton af1ost for Liverpool had already been sold. The census report show ing domestic mill consumption of 49i .s04 bales for August against 46l ,5T5 for July and 526,SS0 for August last year, appeared to be without any special effect on the days market. Port receipts today were 27674. United States port stocks, 354,658, Exports 6,190, mak- ing, $S2.032 so far this season.
