COTTON STEADIES ON GILES REPORT Large Gains Recorded at Out set, But Prices Sag Later. 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 a decline of 6.1 points In past fort 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. Warehouse stocks in New York today 87,509, certificated 78,591.

She says that approximately 14 per cent of the crop is in danger of fmst. against 10 per cent last year and 12 per cent the year before, compared with 9 per cent in 1909.

The weather shows perfect conditions; somewhat warmer in north Texas aiul Oklahoma; reasonable temperatures else where; good rains in Oklahoma and pret ty good showers in south Texas; barely any rain elsewhere. Indications are for stationary conditions. An important fac tor is the total absence of cold weather ; so far: there has not been a first chill, which in other years has Come early in I September. Last year temperatures on August 29, 30 and 31 fell as low as 52 in I north Texas and Oklahoma. Our market opened 10 up on the recov i ery in Liverpool and the Giles report and followed New York In a further advance of 10 points. Selling is cautious and op position timid, owing to the frequent up . turns in the market regardless of bearish I news about spots, movements, etc. ' New York gossip says that a powerful bull combination is at work in that*quar ter and the least unfavorable turn in the i weather would lead to bullish aggressive* | ness.

Empire Building 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, GRAIN.
