T„e stock market to-day exhibited during
most of tee t eason a marked decrease in the
amount oi business done; while speculation had
a hesitating tone, which clearly reflected tho
attitude of operators at present pending tne
determination of the attitude of the Gould
party in the market. The new strength dis
played by the Vanderbilts is a strong support
ing element in the market, aud for the moment
fully offsets the sluggishness of Gould stocks.
Lake Shore has sold at the richest prices it has
reached in rears, touching 119, anil while it re
acted sharply for a time, it was well held late
in the day. and C., C., C. aud St. Louis was
a strong point In the list, but the movements in
Nickel Plates and Chesapeake and < iuios gave
signs of having reached their limits for the
present. Villards were stronger, but mode no
farked advance; while specialties, line New
ngiand and tne like, were remarkably quiet,
and no movement among industrials occurred,
except partial recovery in (’ordaxe after the
sharp decline of yesterday. The market opened
generally fractionally high-r than last night's
figures, but the hear pressure knocked Cordage
down over 1 percent, farther; while Missouri
Pa cite and R on Island exhibited special weals
ness for a abort tune. The effect on the latte
was in all probability due to the general ex

of ail Grangers. The demand, however, soon
changed the temper of speculation, and Vander
bilts. and especially C., C\. O. and St. Louis and
Lake Shore, led an upward movement, which
lasted throughout the forenoon and placed motl
of the active stocks at large fractions above
their first prices. The buying power fell away
after that time, and a heavy failure in Loudon
added its influence to the bear pressure exerted,
and prices receded all along the line. Lake
Shore being one of the weakest on small trans
actions, though as a rule the Gould shares led
the list. The decline was not checked until in
last few minutes, whan a feeble rally occurred.

Nkw York, Sept. 10.—The Sun's cotton
report says: “Futures opened at a sharp de
cline, partially recovered again, declined, again
recovered slightly, closing steady at 2S<&3l
points decline from yesterday's closing prices.
Secretary Rusk’s report on the con ation aud
prospects of the maturing cottoa crop on hept.
1 was received on the Cotton Exchange while
tho noon call was iu progress, and at once pre
cipitated a scene of excitement that has seldom
been equalled in any commercial body. The
market had opened wean under a sharp decline
in Liverpool, January selling at 9 03c and then
recovering, so that January contracts stood at
9 10c. When the government report was an
nouucod it was better than had been generally
expected. Average of estimates of condition
was 79*£ per cent. It came at 82.7 almost up to
the maximum estimates. This, although 6 2
below last month, was what caused a'semi
panic. January contracts at once dropped to
8 32c, aud Supt. Powers was compelled to
suspend the call that had been in progress. He
pounded with his gavel, but he might as well
have pounded at the raging tempest. Thousands
of bales of cotton were sold withiu ten minutes.
The decline was not so great as the bears had
anticipated. Tho lower price brought in
buyers to cover contracts,and some of the more
sanguine bulls took advantage of the decline to
take on holdings which they have lately been
unloading. Tney asserted that the condition
has deteriorated since the 'bureau' report was
made up. It was also asserted that the per
centage of condition at 82.7 is misleading, inas
much as Florida, which grows very little cot
tou, is made with a decrease of only 3 per cent,
to go into the general average with Texas, a
great cotton-growing state, which shows a de
crease of 10 per cent. The market, after
partial recovery, again declined under the in
fiuence of ‘stop' orders and selling orders by
telegraph, January contracts dropped to 8 BGc,
a decline of 57 points or more than half a cent
from tho highest figures < f last Saturday. In
the last quarter of an hour there was some re
newal of strength. Many operators were in
clined to await the effect of the bureau report
and the reception of it upon the Liverpool
market. The Financial Chronic e makes the
late crop 8,055,518 bales, an increase of 1,342,752
bales over the orop of the preceding season.
Sp./t cotton was lower, and in revising quo
tations high grades were lurther reduced *£®

Chicago, Sept. 10.—W T heat opened weak and
lower this morning. The prime cause was the
weak tone of cables. Liverpool was reported
depressed, with anxious sellers at 21 decline.
Receipts here were nearly 100 carl, ads under
the estimates,but forwardings were lijrtit and re
ceipts in the northwest were heavy. The weather
in England was reported hot and forcing,
and the government crop report was expected
to be bearish. Those bulls who had bought at
considerably higher prices, aud vv.io wore
averse to running the risk of furher loss which
appeared to threaten them, and that other class
of longs the size of whose lines was a together
disproportionate to tueir margins, were free
sellers at the opening of the market. Shorts
felt at that time so secure in their position that
they stood aide while the hulls
referred to offered ther holdings
from 95*<jc down to before
they thought well enough of the j r:ce to cover
to any great extent. Trading then became
heavy for about fifteen minutes, during which
prices surged up aud down between the figures
already given. Then a curious change in the
sentiment occurred. The bears begau to reach
the conclusion that a drop of 20c in the price of
wheat w ith in three weeks was enough to justify
a reaction and to connidor a weak market over
loaded with bear news, and with apparently no
fr. *n<ls, as furnishing a rare opportunity
to buy for a turn. The number who reached
this conclusion at about the same time hre and
elsewhere, as shown by buying orders, quickly
reversed the tone of the market and started
prices upward. Foreigners, who had soil out
on the excitement which existed here when
December wheat sqkl as high as $1 15, sent in
considerable buying orders. Many of these are
sal Ito come from Parts, from a house winch
rt ctntly received a check tor about $250,000 from
its commission men as profit on u aeavy hue of
long wheat sold out on the ed ited bulge of
three weeks ago. This foreign Inlying resulted,
with the aid of shorts, in au advance in Decem
ber wheat to 96*4° about an hour after tho
opening, and following that business slacked up
and fluctuations for the most part were con
fined between 953£c and 96c. Prices had worked
up to around 96*Je again, when a dispatch from
New York reported the failure of
tho London gram house of Al
exander & Son for about $6,000,000,
and that caused a sudden break toDVqc. Alex
ander & Son failed some weeks ago. aud to day s
dispatch merely gave the total amount of their
indebtedness at the time of their suspension. The
decline was at once recovered from upon re
ceipt of the above explanation. The reaction
was aided by reports of .foreign buying which
came from New York, Ft. Louis, Duj.ith aud
Minneapolis, together w,h wbt waygoing on
here and au active faHand by Uppers for
vessel room. The advance culminate :at 9?tyc
and the close was at 9r%c. against 95%.’ at the
close yesterday. Contrary to expectation, the
bears did not make a further ru i on corn to
day. The clique apparently hid the market
well in hand, and under caver of the
strength in wheat pur ,p.li of the
ruling option ud \%c above the
closing price of yesterday, October
opened at 549£<&55c, advanced to and
closed at 57c, against MV&c at the close yester
day. Oats followed the course of the major
cereals, being weak early an.* Soruag later, and
closing near the top of the day. The
provision market was irregular, jpcnlug weak
and closing strong, and in that respect it
merely responded to the action of the grain
market. Packers were bidding f<*r October op
tion and selling January. The constant
feeding out of the product for January
is shown in the fact of a decline in tho premium
previously existing for tnat month, more es
pecially in lard and ribs. There is an actual
discount of 12*%c in January compared with
October ribs. January pork still maintains a
good premium, from the fac of its superiority
in a speculative sense, but to-day it gained only
15c on yesterday’s closing prices, while October
advanced 27*4c. One cause of the strength in
provisions to-day was the report of stocks of
cut meats in the country showing a decrease of
183,000,000 pounds since July 1.
