Sept. 7.—The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an ad' vance of 6 points, owing to higher ca- tries, and prices held aroutid the Initial figures during the forenoon, although offerings were quite heavy and demand showed little Indication of broadening. Europe and Wall street sold here, while the buying seemed to come from prac tically the same sources aa yesterday, Including some of the local trade In terests and shorts. The European sell Ing was thought to Indicate profit taking by some of the European Inter- eats who sold on the valorisation ad vance, covering on the subsequent de cHne, and have recently sent out rather bullish messages and might now be taking a moderate profit on long cbffee. A prominent local authority on coffee subjects In an article published this morning slates that the recent decline In Brasilian markets and lower firm ofTers have resulted from the forced realising of speculatively held supplies, rather than selling by growers, and this seemed to accord with a private cable gram received late yesterday from Havre that Santos holders were with drawing offerings also with the higher primary markets, according to this morning’s cables.

One of the largest and most reliable spot houses In this market received the following telegram from Hope, Ark., today In response to a query: "We cannot make Arm offers at present on account of light receipts. In some sections the crop Is undoubt edly turning out later than expected and the lateness Is affecting the move ment to some extent.

New Orleans, Sept. 7.—Options lnv proved sllchtly during the day’s sea. slon In Liverpool on less favorablt crop news, finally closing from X to mints higher than the previous day's evel. Holders of spot cotton were of fering freely, which In a measure off. set the Increased demand, sates aggre gating 7,000 bales at an advance of 4 mints In quotations. In spite of the fact that the many Indications yester day for bad weather today failed to materialise, prices held remarkably steady and continued so until the II quldatlon of the lon’g Interest, ac cumulated yesterday, sot In when prices eased considerably. The mar tet, however, was’an exceedingly dull and uninteresting affair and a general lack of Interest was displayed on all sides. This apparent antipathy on the part of the trade Is largely due to the near approach of the day set by the government for the publication of both gtnners' and condition reports. It Is almost Impossible to forecast with any degree of accuracy what the bu reau's estlmats of condition will be, for lately ao many unfavorable reports have been received and so Insistent have some of them been as to ths un mistakable deterioration, that a feel ing has been gaining ground that the tnfe .damage has been greatly exag gerated, but then It must be remem bered that the report will embody only that period ending with the 26th of last month, and hence the late unfav orable rain will have become elimi nated.

New York, Sept. 7.—The stock mar ket today opened at about the same range of prices as last night’s. If ex pectations were entertained that the bull leaders had In mind a wild mar ket, they were disappointed. Cliques here and there pushed up prices some what, but in defense of their modera tion from the bull point of view they called It a safe and sane market. The tluctuatlons In the money market yes terday Indicated not ao much approach ing ease as a situation fairly w'ell un der the control of the leaders. Because call money on the stock exchange went to 6 per cent and after business hours a quotation of 2 per cent was made and widely heralded did not mean sim ilarly good fortune for today's borrow ers. The first call loan was made at 12 per cent, and then ran up to 17 per cent, fluctuating between these fig ures during the forenoon. It was In dicative of the growing confidence that the majority of borrowers took chance* of getting a lower rate. Stocks during the first hour showed no aggressive upward tendency, but when prices be gan to recede fractionally the market. In the language of the bulls, became significantly dull. There were several “strong spots,” and on the whole the market held well. The tone of the stock market at the polling was steady, nnd with the few exception*, price movement* showed an average change of not more than |V4 |>er cent.
