Small Changes at Close.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17. -A precipitant !
oujing wave jcevailed over the cotton
market today at the outset with prices
opening 7 to 12 points over last night’s
close. The predominating factor for the
upward movement was due to Miss Giles
in her condition report of Sept. 10. show

night, placing figure at 70.7 against 76.8 . n
August 25, and 76.7 a month ago and 72.6 I
I?n?* car * This report was regarded as a i
! bullish character. Spot interest showed
the most aggresiveness; also there was
some short covering. The buying from all i
sources was free and prices within 15 .
minutes were 7 to 10 points higher than
the opening.
The market during the midforenoon I
trading firmly maintained the upward i
movement on support from Liverpool and
Mall Street interests buying Later.'
however, the market became unsettled
on the heavy selling by longs, which were
said to be commission houses, and one
or two spot houses were the principal !
sellers. The weekly weather report wal
regarded as generally unfavorable. ■
However, the ring crowd sold on this re- j
port as the prevailing opinion among the
local speculators is bearish and there ,
seemed to be a long interest in the mar- i
ket, and all the initial gains recorded
during the early trading were lost, with
prices during the late session sagging
around last night’s close.
At the close the market was steady with
prices ranging 1 point lower to 1 to 5
points higher than the final quotations of
Monday.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 17 -The cor
respondents of the Interstate Trust and
Banking company, of New Orleans, make
a preliminary estimate of the crop of 14,-
790,000 bales without linters Their esti
mate last year was 14,218,000. The key
note of the report Is that the crop is late
over a great part of the belt and frost
date very important.
Miss GfleS makes condition 70.7, against
76.8 two weeks ago, a condition middle of
September last year of 72.6, and says that
14 per cent of the crop is exposed to frost,
against only 10 per cent last year. Liv
erpool came in as due about 6 points
lower, but advanced rapidly in the last
hour, probably on the Giles report. Spots
unchanged; sales, 8,000 bales.
Correspondence from Liverpool says
that the repeated recoveries from the 6d
level have changed opinion as to price
and many now believe 6d the right price
for cotton, which will lead to increased

The weather shows perfect conditions;

Our market opened 10 up on the recov

SHORT COVERING
SENDS STOCKS IIP
United States Steel, Southern
Railway and Reading Lead
in Advance.
By CHARLES W. STORM. .
NEW YORK. Sept. 17 A strong tone
was shown in the stock market at the
opening today, with Canadian Pacific
leading with a gain of 1% Reading was
another strong issue, advancing % on
good buying within the first fifteen min
utes of trading.
Among the other gains were United
States steel common %. American Smelt
ing %. Erie common %, Erie preferred
%. Southern Railway %. Southern Pa
cific %. Pennsylvania % and Union Pacific
%. Strength in Reading resulted mainly
from an absence of supply of this stock.
Buying of Canadian Pacific for foreign
account caused further upturn in this is
sue at the end of fifteen minutes, the
aggregate advance being 2%.
The curb market was dull and irregu
lar.
Americans in London were firm.

COTTON IS SHORT
1,000,000 BALES
State Expert Estimates This
Year's Crop in Georgia at
66 2-3 Per Cent.
State Entomologist Lee Worsham,
just returned from an official tour of
south Georgia, gives it as his opinion
that Georgia’s cotton crop will be ap
proximately 1,600,000 bales short this
yea r.
Last year Georgia s crop was 2,800,-
000 bales. Ts Mr. Worsham's estimate
is correct, therefore, the crop this year
will be short Just about 33 1-3 per
cent.
Mr. Worsham says the crop in some
sections is in worse condition than ho
ever saw it before, anil in no section
visited is the crop anything near nor
mal.
The Georgia entomologist says the
hot weather has killed off one crop of
caterpillars, which are destructive to
cotton, but that another is coming on.
General adverse weather conditions,
however, is, he believes, the primary
cause of the great slump in the crop,
