THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 5. 1912, 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.

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.

I United States Steel and Copper Group Strongest Issues in Day's Trading. 3y CHARLES W. STORM. , NEW YORK. Sept 4. All groups had I a confused appearance at the opening ! of the stock market today, and operators 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 ..

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.
