DAILY COTTON LETTER
NKW ORLEANS, Sept. 3. Mr. Hester
makes rhe commercial crop for the sea-
■ : ’91.1-1912, 16,138.426 hales. Liverpool
- 6to 7 points since Friday, which she
'•< uiered this morning. Spots 2 points
>l- since Friday. Sales continue very
small -13,000 bales since Friday. The re
-1 every in Liverpool today was partly due
o the fear of a further disturbance to
shipping by the threatened dock strike at
’ lalveston. Many look for a widening in
■r- market parity. The weather over the
1 olidays was favorable, mostly fair and
"arm. except in the Western states,
where it was cloudy with some light
scattered showers. Indications point to
unsettled weather with showers in the
" estern states, continued fair and warm
generally in central and eastern states.
-he fair, warm weather checks insect
damage and promotes maturity.
1 ’ur market opened about 74 points
i :g!ier in sympathy with the advance in
.'verpool and New York, but when the
eause of the advance in foreign markets,
'he possibility of a disturbed export
movement by labor troubles, became ap
preciated, our market eased and sold »'
’imes under New York. Heavy and
•'early buying was reported from New
' ork by the spot houses which had re
• ently opposed the market strongly No
‘xplanation was given for this sudden
‘upport, but the strong advance in New
ork- Os 38 points forced December here
" 11.20. The general opinion of the ad
ance was that it was a move to even
up rhe market before bureau publication.

Market Under Heavy Selling
Pressure Throughout Ses
sion-Trade Steady.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. Sept. 3.—Following the
three holidays on the stock exchange, tlie
market opened irregular today, with a
number of issues showing losses while
others were fractional])- higher.
There was little trading tn the first
few minutes Reading lost % on its
first transaction, opening at 170%. Mis
souri Pacific was up %. United States
Steel common was % higher at he begin
ning. but later last %. Amalgamated
Copper advanced %. but Smelting de
clined %.
Pennsylvania was unchanged, as was
Atchison, but on the first few .-ales the
former gained %.
Union Pacific was % under Frida v's
closing.
The curb was irregular. Americans in
London firm. Canadian Pacific there was
under pressure.
A heavy tone was shown in the general
list in the late forenoon. Canadian Pa
cific was under pressure, declining 3
points to :'72»4. Soo common was also
weak, falling 2% to 150. A loss of 3
points was sustained in American To
bacco. Declines in other issues were
confined chiefly to fractions.
Increased pressure was exerted against
the market in the late afternoon trad
ing when prices of nearly all of the im
portant issues sustained losses of I point
or more from the range prevailing around
noon. The support which was noted in
the market in the last half of the fore
noon seemed then to be withdrawn Steel
common was supplied more freelv than
it had been for many weeks, selling down
to 72%. against 78% at the opening.
Imalgamated Conner, which sold earlier
m the day at 87%. fell below 86. and
a decline of more than 1 point was sus
tained in both Utah Copper and American
Smelting. The lailrcatl list also was un
der pressure.
