New Orleans, Oct. 3.—Cotton was com paratively quiet today after the heavy trad ing of yesterday. In the enrly session, prices had a declining tendency on the dis position of longs to take profits, nnd also on some heavy fresh short selling, which dbl a great deal to keep alive the belief thnt large shorts had refused to run to cover, and that the market still held a good- sized net short Interest. Liverpool re fused to make a full response to the net advance on this side yesterday, and this caused a lower opening, hut later In the day unfavorable weather reports caused a renewal of buying, which sent December up to 10.40, which was not so far from the level of yesterday’s close. Private cabl egrams from Liverpool said that the market had been kept from ndvnndng by heavy hedge sales against actual cotton. The weather was bad, considerable rain was re ported over the cotton belt, with tho ex ception of Texas, nnd prlvnte telegrams from Mississippi said that creeks In some localities were over their hanks nnd flood ing the lowlands. Press reports said that floods were prevailing in tleorgla, Alabama and Tennessee. The forecast promised fa vorable weather, but until more . news Is nvnllable concerning the real extent of the damage to the crop by the recent spell of bad weather, we advise conservatism In placing sales. Any bullish developments nil! cause quirk advances, for the belief Is becoming general thnt the trade has greatly overestimated tills crop. Just as vear It underestimated It.

DULL FIRST HOUR Fluctuations Generally Cov ered a Narrow Range. London IVas Buyer. New York. Oct. 3.—The announcement of ft 214 per cent semi-annual dividend flu Ateh* Ison common, placing the atoek on a 5 l»er cent baaia, was the Important news of the day. It has been known for come time thnt directors of the company were divided In opinion on the dividend ques tion, some fnvorlug nn Increase from 4^5 per cent, while others favored a larger In crease. The recent rise In the stock mar ket had evidently discounted something midway between these two views—that Is, between 107 and 109, the range lately pre vailing. The stock was too low for a 6 per cent Issue, nnd too high for a 5 per Ont. But a fair Judgment based on comparison of quotations with other stocks would be that the Atchison shares have been holding much closer to ft 5 er cent level than to the level they would arc been entitled to selL had the divi dend distribution been larger. Accordingly, the effect of the announcement on the mar ket today was not seriously depressing. Atchison promptly broke 3 points on tho ’* and other lending issues dropped a point or so. But heavy orders were Im mediately thrown Into the mnrket nnd the upward niovnient was resumed. New York.
