COTTON GOES UP I
MORTS GOO
' I
Market Under Buying Pressure,
on Unfavorable Weather in
Eastern Belt.
N’LW YORK. Sept. 4. A resonant of
yesterday's advance prevailed upon the
cotton market today with prices a net
gain of 9 to 29 points from last night's
close. The demand was persistent and •
the tone was strong The predominant j
factors were Finn cables and unfavorable
weather in the eastern bell. The begin- •
ning of the bull movement in Liverpool •
came just about the time of the New York
openings, which added to its effect - <
iveness. Some short covering pre-
vailed at the outset ami October rallied
from 10.20 to 10.30, while December rose
8 points over the first figures. After the
call heavy realizing set m and prices re
ceded in most active months 6 to 15 points
from the early range, with the exception !
of December, which sagged about the
opening.
As a result of the upward movement •
which vxas thus inaugurated here prices I
soon aggregated 55 points above the re
cent low level. Later, however, the mar
ket became unsettled and prices devel
oped irregularity.
Some large spot interests began to bid
th< market up during the afternoon ses
siun combined with some short covering
by the ring crowd, prices showing a ten
dency to regain the early decline, with
October displaying the phenomenal
strength of the list. This option stood 15
points .above the opening, or 24 points
over the previous close. December at
40.51 being 29 points better than the pre
vious figures, while the remaining list
sagged around the early range.
At the close of today s session the mar
ket was st early with prices showing a net
gain of 20 to 27 points above the final
quotations of Tuesday.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
i NEW ORLEANS Sept 4 Xugu ta
jGa.. reduces spot prices from 12% to 11
cents yesterday. Although Liverpool
should improve most, owing to the dock
strike at Galveston, it was rather poor
with futures abput 3 points lower inan
plue. but advanced in the last half hour
before the opening of our market, prob
ably on support from New York. Our
i market followed with 10 to 15 points ad
vance. The technical situation in futures
and spots is not as strong at present as
it was last vear at this time. I’raUers
have been more cautious on short side in
futures and much less has been sold short
ahead by spot people.
The following from San Antonio today:
"Weather fine for gathering crop and
every lock will be saved. Yield in most
places is in excess of last year, although
some localities report it short, while others
I report it considerably better than last
year Not a bale is being held.”
Vs to the northern half of Texas, all
I information continues in favor of a touch
I larger y ield than last year. New York
wired tha’ shorts wore covering and op
erators taking the long side, expecting
the August deterioration to occur- in Sep
tember. This shows that early ideas of
crop ruin still linger. Meanwhile the
< rop has steadily progressed and over
come much of its early lateness and there
’s nothing in the weather now tn cause
any concern.
Market eased after the first advance
gave out and is at present following New
York on the advance. Washington an
nounces that the ginner.s re non giving
ginning- to September 1 will be pub
lished September 9 at 9 a. m.. our time.
Government detailed records show pretty
good scattered rains in Texas, in the
southern porti< n of the belt also since
Frida? Several stations in Oklahoma re
ported rain this morning and the weather
map shows a big disturbance taking place
in the Take states, which should bring
j general rrecipltatlon and cooler weather
| <>n the Southern states in a few day s
Spot people report demand small and no
improvement notwithstanding th*’ advance
in the contract markets.

The New Orleans 'Times-Democrat says. |
yesterday's cotton market advanced <n
tiie face of an official crop condition per
centage figure of 74.8, as contrasted with ,
73.2 last year, and in spite of Secretary
Hester’s compilation showing a commer
cial crop of 16,1X8.000. Why? The bull
will tell you speculators generally are
short up to their chins, and that Mr.
Hester’s world’s consumption of American
cotton in the year ending August 31. 1912.
of 14.315.000, an increase of 2.461.000 over
the previous year, was a little too much
for the rings to stand. On the other hand
the bear will tell you that the difference
of 1,397.000 bales between the vear’s ex
ports of 10.687.000 and the year's con
j sumption of American cotton by foreign
I mills means that just that much more
cotton is available to the foreign spinner
at the opening of the new season than
was available last year and that bulls, dis
appointed, lifted the market through <heer
force in order to get out their long lines.
The crop and consumption figures, as
given out by the New Orleans cotton ex
change are surprisingly large, and the fig
ures yet to be given out will probably
open the eyes of the trade wider than
ever. During the (‘losing days of August
some of the cotton-carrying railroad.®
learned that, through the detouring of
trains during overflows and as a result
of strikes on the Harriman system, some.
300.000 bales were handled, but not re
ported.

United States Steel and Copper
Group Strongest Issues in

I a confused appearance at the opening

ttere apparently disposed to be cautious
over the result of the election in Ver
| mont.
Price movements in the first fifteen
i minutes were irregular, many stocks |
I showing fractional recessions, while
i others made moderate gams. United
| States Steel common followed the Lon
i don lead, opening ~ 9 higher at Ti' 3 ,. and
.an advance of was recorded in Ana
conda Copper, which sold at 45", at the
I outset.
Erie common and Amalgamated Copper
each gained Canadian Pacific, after
opening > a up. lost Its gain and a, addi-
I tionai. Reading was unchanged at the
beginning, but later gained and still
I later losing of this advance. Southern I
Pacifit was strong adtaneitig but
Southern railway was without change
Atchison likewise opened unchanged.
The curb was steady.
‘ Americans in London were above New
'York parity. Canadian Pacific there was
I helped by better earnings.
Strength was shown in the late fore-
I noon, and nearly everything on the list
; shared in the upward movement. Steel
; common was in good demand, moving up
: 7 ». The copper stocks were also in brisk
demand.
Activity in several of the tobacco
snares made these stocks the feature in
the late afternoon trading on reports
of an increase in the quarterly dividend.
American Snuff sold as Itgib as 192 3 ,, as
against 185*<. yesterday. Nearly all of the
important railroads and industrials re
flected a slackening of demand and prices
of those issues receded fractionally
Canadian Pacific declined 1’ 2 •" 272 1 ..
Specialties also yieded fractionally.
The market closed heavy.
Government bonds unchanged. Other
bonds steady.

t'HICAGO. Sept. 4.—Wheat xalues
were %c to %c higher this morning on
rains in France and a better demand in
tiie pit Cables were somewhat unset
tled. Russian wheat was pressed for sale
and there was some recovery at Liverpool
on the had weather on the continent.
I nder selling by local trades, prices eased
off later.
Corn was %c to %c lower on good
weather and increased offerings in the pit,
coupled with receipts of nearly 900 cars
here.
Oats were %c to %c higher, and this
too in the face of receipts of nearly 1,000
cars.,
Provisions were stronger with hogs:
Wheat closed stronger in tone with
prices % to %c higher. The price trend
was considered a natural reaction, follow
ing a three days’ break in values. Scarc
ity of cars to move grain, coupled with
unfavorable xveather throughout the Belt,
helped.
Corn finished strong with prices rang
ing from % to I%c better. The most
strength was shown in September, in
which options shorts covered freely.
Oats were V* to %c better at the close.
The market trailed the other grains.
Provisions were sharply lower, pork
being 1.7% to 20c: lard 5 to 12%c, and
ribs. 7% to 17%c off.
Liquidation by longs and lack of buying
