LITTLE CHANGE INI
COTTON ST CLOSE!
Market Loses Heavily at Start
on Eastern Showers—Cov
ering Causes Reaction.
NEW YORK. Sept. 5. —With the weath
er map showing very favorable condi
tions overnight, especially in the eastern
belt, w’here rains prevailed and were
certainly needed, the cotton market ’
opened with first prices 2 to 9 points be- I
low the closing prices of Wednesday. '
After the call a precipitant realizing i
movement by the uptown crowd and i
some longs who took oportunity to reduce
their holdings and through heavy dis
of t ' lc staple October dropped from
I. :;9 to 11.12, December receded from 11.10 >
to 11.27, while January declined 14
points from the opening The buying was i
moderate and scattered with very little i
points from the opening.
Through the aggressiveness of some |
spot interest and commission houses the 1
market developed a steady tone and prices
during the afternoon session ruled com
paratively the same as the low level made I
during the early trading. October stood
at 11.12. December at 11.27 and January at
11. The princßial and predominant fac
tor to the market today was the buying of
spinners who bought quite freely at
tunes. Sentiment continues on a more
bearish character.
A sudden covering wave prevailed over
the market during the last hour of trad
ing by the ring crowd and some brokers
who usually represent spot interests and
prices quickly developed an upward ten
dency. regaining the early decline, and at
the close the market was steady with
prices a net decline of 2 to 7 points from
the final quotations of Wednesday.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. weather
talk and fear of crop deterioration stim
ulated support yesterday and probably
caused the advance In Liverpool today,
where futures gained as much as 7 points
and spots are quoted 13 points higher:
sales small, total 5,000 bales. The Eng
lish market, however, lost most of the
advance when the favorable change, over
night in weather condijions became
known. The map this morning shows
cloudy weather, general rains and cooler
temperatures. 2 to 10 degrees lower in the
Atlantics. Cloudy in west Texas, cooler
in Texas and Oklahoma: generallv fair
and warm in the central states. Indi
cations are for increasing cloudiness gen
erally, probably rain in west Texas. Ok, I
lahoma, north Arkansas arid the Allan- 1
tic states; also cooler over the entire 1
northern half of the belt. Further inter- ;
esting statistics by Mr. Hester gives the :
crop last season as 16,501,000. Nervous :
fluctuating markets are generally expect- ;
eii during the next few week®, as so much
depends on storms and frosts. Weather !

NEWS AND GOSSIP ■
Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW YORK, Sept. s.—Carpenter. Bag
got & Co.: There was an effort on the
part of bears to depress the market on
and after the opening and selling was
heavy. The Waldorf crowd and the
bears sold for a turn. There was little
or no support. Later Mitchell, Hubbard,
Hicks and others became good buyers.
This was said to be on unfavorable
crop news from the eastern belt. Some
of the buying was said to be for account
of spinners. Sentiment is mixed, but
more bears than bulls. In the absence
of concentrated selling, market reacts
easily.
The uptown crowd. Weld and McFadden
were heavy sellers on the opening.
The rains last night in the eastern
belt were certainly beneficial to the crop.
The Journal of Commerce: ''Sentiment
is more bullish."
The Commercial says: "The market
has evened up considerably.”
Dallas wires: •'Texasr—San Antonio,
southwest and the panhandle cloudy;
pleasant scattered clouds east and south;
balance clear and warm. Oklahoma —
Generally fair ami cooler."
Heavy selling by Springs, Castles, Weld
and ring speculators caused the decline
today. Weather was in their favor and
market declined easily
Buying was scattered, with no special
support; Memphis said to be good seller.
Following are 11 a m. bids: October
11.17, December 11.30, January 11.18,
March 11.31,
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. s.—Hayward &
Ulark: The weather map shows very fa
vorable deevlopments overnight. General
rains and temperatures 2 to 10 degrees
lower in Atlantic's: cooler also In Texas.
Cloudy west, portion; fair central states;
cooler In Oklahoma.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
Yesterday's market advanced because
there was too much company on the short
side, and not because of any telling
change in professional sentiment. There
is no getting away from the fact that
both the talent and the trade, in the
main, are bearish at heart: that the bull
talent, in the main, is bullish on the mar
ket ultimately, but does not take the cur
rent advance seriously. Thus only a
very small number of traders are bull
ish on the near future market, and these
men appear to be doing more talking
than trading. Under the circumstances,
the current strength of the market means
either that subtle influences, which are
not apparent on tile surface of things,
are getting in their work, or that the
cleaning out process is under way. In
any case, exporters purchased cotton in
Texas at the lowest basis known in
twenty-five years (10 points on October
for Liverpool, good middling. September
delivery, f. o. b. Galveston), and Savan
nah sold Liverpool middling spots at 11c.
as contrasted with 11.31 the closing price
of October at New York.

STRANGE ROBBERIES
IN OFFICE SOLVED;
BOY THIEF TRAPPED
Mysterious robberies in the office of
I the West Side loan Company, in the
Peters building, were solved today, by
the arrest of a daring burglar—a bur
,glar just thirteen years old and as black
as th'? proverbial ace of spades.
Cash in the loan company's till had
been vanishing day after day, with
never a clew to the robber, for doors,
windows and drawers were found in
tact. Detectives Chewning and Nor
ris hid in the office last night and wait
ed. They tighten'd their grips on their
gun.' at tie- .sound of someone creep
ing over the skylight about 11 o’clock.
Tlie skylight window was cautiously
opened, a ilguic dropped through, the
detectives shouted "halt or we shoot, ’
or words to that effect- and as the
lights were switched on a young black
ragamuffin no higher than your shoul
| der stood grinning sheepishly.
| He'll be tried before the children's
| 1 ■>ui l today. His n ime is Granlin'
Thompson.

Corn 79 %

CHICAGO, Sept. s.—Prices in wheat
were a shade higher and the. tone was
firmer at the opening, mainly on wet
weather in western Canada and a stronger
Liverpool market. There were further
rains also in France and the United
Kingdom and great damage has been
done in the latter country. Argentina’s
shipments are slated to decrease for the
week.
Corn was %c to %c lower and the de
ferred options were under some sell ng
pressuie. September, was firmer in tone.
Local traders sold freely.
Oats were unchanged to a shade lower,
in sympathy with corn. There was some
selling pressure.
Provisions were lower all around be
cause cf the weakness in hogs at the
yards.
A very bearish crop report on wheat,
corn and oats, as made up by B. W, ,
Snow, was the controlling bearish fac
tor in all the grain markets today’ They ,
were all lower and none of them dis
played recuperative power, closing around
the bottom levels reached. Losses were
shown of 1c to l%e for wheat, 1%0 to
l%c in corn and %c to %c in oats. The
feeling was decidedly bearish at the close
today when reported cash sales of wheat
were small at 76,000 bushels, of which
50.000 bushels were for export. 240,000
nushels corn and 555,000 bushels oats
Hog products were sharply lower, with
pork the weakest spot.
