Price la out with a circular raying, while
he believe* In nltlmntely lower prices, there
re four reason* why the market should
jnve a substantial reaction, namely: First,
holders of spots In the Hotith will refnse to
sell and fight the decline. Second, gtliner*’
report of the 25th will likely be bullish.
Third, the danger of equinoctial storms.
Fourth, technical position affords good bu
llion. Would buy now on all set-backs,
(ftnr we look for a short scare. *
Liverpool cables: “Large covering by
Carpenter and Ilornby.”
Another cable says: ‘‘Shorts covering and
mention otic house thnt sent out strong
bear dope during tin* past two days. This
Shows bears seriously afraid of the rains
In Texas and storm possibility.”
Still another: ’’More disposition by spin-
era to enter the mnrkev. The decline up-
l»enrs stopped for time lielug."
Weather man. now complete, Indicates
more rain today. Texas has generally
cloudy weather. General showers probable
In Lotilslnnn nnd eastern state*. Distinct
Indications of disturbance over southern
Florida.
Advices from some parts of Texas say
rains nnd wind caused damage In the ecu
tral portlou of the state.
Market looks completely sold out. React
ing easily. Expect higher prices on bad
weather In Texas and possibility of storm
in the guff.
Ktorm warnings Just rend out. Disturb-
..nee Is west near Cuban coast, apparently
recurring northward. Considered unsafe for
small vessels along Florida coast.
This storm. If nothing else, will cause bad
weather In the eastern states, which Is a
bullish feature, ami will cause bear cover
ing.

HAYWARD. VICK A CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
New Orleans, La., Sept. 18.—Liver
pool again shows resistance to fur
ther declines. Cables report heavy
short covering for New York account
nnd more disposition by spinners to
cover first noeds. Our market opened
firm, but scalpers selling, based on the
usual expectation of pressure by Now
York, soon r Aimed a loss of 10 points.
However, certain houses who were
most active In the recent bear move
tuent could be seen covering on all
drops, which harmonizes with the new*;
from Liverpool that leading short In
terests are covering. Probably the un
derlying Idea is that more resistance
is expected from spot quarters and a
higher selling basis may be establish
ed over the storm and frost period.
Weather records show extensive rains
In the western belt, heavy in localities
of central Texas, which report damage
by wind and ruin. Indications point
to generally cloudy weather and show
er* in the belt during the next thirty-
six hours. A cold wave has formed In
the northwest, nnd the map shows dis
tinct developments of a tropical dis
turbance over southern Florida, Pen
sacola papers reporting severe weather
in the gulf. Trading In futures con
tinued very quiet. Buying by shorts
repeatedly caused small upturns. Par
ties arriving from different parts of
the belt say farmers are firmer in their
demands and little Is being offered.
New York, Sept. 18.—The cotton mar
ket ruled strong with some demand
from foreign sources and some cover
ing in this market. Liverpool cables
ruled higher, and although weather
forecasts were favorable, reports ot
storms In the belt caused some South
ern buying, which assisted the covering
of short contracts. After the early
bulge the market lost 4 to 6 points on
realising. Southern spot markets
showed some easiness with reports of
I M »or demand from spinner*. Port re-
"Iptg show Increases. New crop mov
ing in volume. Reports from private
sources state that the biggest part of
the crop will be ginned by the middle
of October. The storm predictions held
prices steady around noon. We be
lieve short covering Is at present hold
ing prices and believe we will see lower
prices In the near future.

_ Carrington: Can see no reason for

considerable damage done by frosts.
The demand for oats still continues.
Believe the receipts will drop off here
In the course of a couple of weeks.
of the corn lu Iowa, northern Missouri. Ne
braska and northern Illinois out of danger.
Three weeks of fairly good weather will
ripen the corn of the country. ^Jf frost of
tunl gain scored. So quick and extensive
bns been the tumble Hint all the old stand
ing long Interest lias now been obliterated,
and yesterday's reaction wns brought about
through short covering am! profit-taking,
there being no real friends of the staple In
blHjicc anywhere. After nil the turmoil.
...e original question bobs up once more,
nml the hammer brigade I* forced to pause
anil Inquire Into the outlook. While the
decline in actual cotton has l»een start
lu Its severity, first hands continue to
spot nt values well in excess of eontrnet
quotation*, and If this disparity Is to con
tinue my length of time, somebody -«'•
b«- calling for the cotton. Meanwhile,
dor the spur of lienrish success, crop esti
mates expand and price pessimism Is easily
riven fresh Impulse, although there being
no speculative hull party left In the Month
and trade hedgers I wing more concerned
In helping along a parity adjustment which
will further Improve hedging facilities than

New York. Sept 18.—-The stock mar- \
Let during the first half of today’s ses- ?
► Ion was purely professional with trad- i
ing much curtailed on account of the
Jewish holiday. After nn uncertain
rpenlng orders appeared for the protrt-
li’.rnt stocks which lifted tho general t
level quite sharply above yesterday’s }
closing. Most of the buying came from |
the short*, who. when they found a !
liberal supply of stock offering at the f
high figures again turned sellers. Heavy
liquidation agflln broke out In the steel
stocks which whs started by the sell
ing of 10,000 shares of the common. AH ,
the early galna were soon wiped out i
nnd then the market became Irregular j
with the Industrials Inclined to heavl- f
ness and the railroads displaying stead- |
incss. Union Pacific was the feature j
in the latter group, holding above last j
night's close. Northern Pacific met |
heavy realising after Its early spurt. »
The declaration of the regular quar- j
terly dividend on New York Central I
was announced although there was an {
inclination In some quarters to crltl* J
c;xe the action of the directors in view f
of the earnings of the company.
