SHARP DROP IN
COTTON PRICE
Inactivity Throughout the Day.
Market Holds Steady on Un
favorable Weather.
NEW YORK, Sept 23.—Lower cables
than expected caused the cotton market
to open barely steady today, with prices
ranging from unchanged to 2 points lower
to 2 points higher. During the first fif
teen minutes of trading the market be
came unsettled on unfavorable weather
conditions, however, this did not discour
age free selling by the ring speculators,
and prices were carried 6 to 8 points below
the opening quotations.
Throughout the morning session, the
market was dull and featureless, with
very little business being transacted.
What buying prevailed appeared to come
chiefly from some leading spot houses,
but their aggressiveness was not based
upon large purchases and prices never
once rallied after the opening. Later dur
ing the afternoon trading tl-.e market re
gained a few points of the early de
cline and prices ranged throughout the
list 1 to 5 points below the opening or
2 to 5 points below the previous close.
The selling seemed to come mostly from
commission houses. Also spot interests
at times were noticeable sellers, but their
sales were limited.
The market seems to shows resistance
on declines, the excessive rains in the
eastern belt and the fear of cooler weath
er in the west were offset by the bear
ish report of Cordill on conditions west
of the river. The Commercial-Appeal
was rather bearish on conditions west
of the river. This brought out selling
at times, which otherwise would not have
come, and caused liquidation by some
scattered longs.
At the close the market was steady
with prices a net decline of 2 to 6 points
from the final quotations of Saturday.

IN MEMORIAM.
The funeral of Miss Bernice Bradley
was held at Bold Springs Methodist
church, near Commerce, Ga., on Thursday
evening, the 19th instant. A large con
course of relatives and friends were pres
ent. Miss Bradley had lived in Atlanta
all her life, and her many friends will
be pained to hear of her death. During
her illness, which lasted more than a
year, she manifested great patience and
her faith in her Savior was undaunted.
At the close 'of the service, we saw her
laid to rest in the church yard and our
hearts were comforted witli the thought,
(It is well with her soul. 1
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep.
From which none ever wake to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose
Unbroken by the lost of foes.

COMMERCIAL APPEAL
COTTON CROP REPORT
IS VERY FAVORABLE
MEMPHIS, TENN., Sept. 23.—The
I Commercial-Appeal crop report says;
"There are two distinct divisions of
the cotton crop this year, and condi
tions are so widely different in each
as to render it necessary to consider
them separately. West of the river,
owing to good seasons, with few draw
backs, the crop has gone on in good
shape. In this section the plant is well
advanced and much pinching has been
done. Taken as a whole, the crop on
that side of the river is from 60 to 75
per cent opened, although late cotton in
Oklahoma is in danger of frost.
"In the East, only a small portion of
the crop is opened, although it is esti
mated that a very small portion is in
danger of frost of average date, ex
cept in Tennessee, where the plant is
still vigorous. The plant over the en
tire section is late, but has not fruited
heavily. Estimates place it from 50 to
75 per cent of last year, and as there
is little promise of top crop, it is be
lieved that picking, when once well
started, will not last for long. The in
sect damage to the crop has been small
when compared to other years. Con
siderable boll wevils have appeared in
Mississippi and Louisiana, but a fairly
good crop was made before their ap
pearance. Elsewhere, the damage from
insects has been negligible.”
in this, the last weekly report of The
Commercial-Appeal for the season, cor
respondents size up the crop about like
this:
"California—Much below last year.
Little in danger from frost.
“Georgia—Crop very short—from 50
to 65 per cent of last year. Almost no
danger of frost
"Alabama—Estimates average fruit
age at about two-thirds that of last
year.
"Mississippi—Crop very spotted. Some
sections expect good crop, others poor,
but nearly all below last year.
"Tennessee and Missouri—Good crop
promised, hut it is late and in danger
from frost.
"Arkansas —Much diversity of opin
ion, but generally below last year.
“Oklahoma—Most estimates for best
yield in history of state, with late frost.
"Texas—Average about the same as
lost year.
"Louisiana—Fruited about like last
year, but more of it may escape the
boll weevil.”
HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEVA ORLEANS. Sept. 23.—The weath
er over Sundaj was not favorable, ex
cept in the southwestern quarter of the
belt. While there was no frost recorded
in north Texas, Oklahoma or Arkansas,
temperatures were too low for develop
ment, and the eastern half of the belt
| had a general and rather heavy rain
tall, leading to reports of damage from
several localities. The map shows a
rainstorm formation over southeast Ala
bama. which may move Inland and cause
further extensive rainfall. Indications are
for rising temperatures in the western
half of the belt.
Crop information from the Atlantic
states, particularly the Carolinas, is as
tonishingly poor. It says the improve
ment made in August was nearly all lost
by the shedding of all blooms and voting
fruit during the two weeks' hot spell in
September.
Liverpool came in poor, with futures
about 5 points lower than due; spots 12
lower. The weakness is attributed to
the unfavorable technical condition of the
market, bullish sentiment and the ad
vances having eliminated the short inter
est.
This applies in a measure to our mar
kets also, which, in spite of unfavorable
weather, ruled easy and lower this morn
ing. Trading settled around 11.64 for
December and is very quiet, the market
waiting for weather and market news.
The basis is somewhat stiffer, from 25
to 30 on December being asked for mid
dling.

Rumors of Five Per Cent Divi
dend Causes Demand for
Southern Industrial.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—-Despite general
realizing, a number of fractional gains
were recorded at the opening of the
stock market today. As a result of the
selling, the vigorous upward movement
which had been in evidence all last week
was brought to a halt. Reading lost %
and Union Pacific fell %.
Among the gains were United States
Steel common Erie common %. Balti
more and Ohio %, Lehigh Valley Mis
souri Pacific %, Canadian Pacific 's.
Southern Pacific % and Southern Railway
%. Atchison. Pennsylvania and Amalga
mated Copper were unchanged.
At the end of twenty minutes a strong
er tone had developed.
The curb market was steady.
Americans in London were firm. Cana
dian Pacific there was quiet.
A heavy tone was shown in the late
forenoon. Reading and Lehigh Valley
were under pressure, declining a point
each. Fractional declines were recorded
in the Hill stocks, Union Pacific, Atchi
son and the leading industrials.
Persistent buying of steel marked the
late trading and carried the price of steel
common to 77, the highest figure at which
it has been sold this year. The buying
came from a number of sources and many
large blocks were absorbed. Many other
issues were in brisk demand and realizing
sales were without any influence.
The market closed steady; governments
unchanged; other bonds steady.

TODAY'S

COTTON.
NEW YORK. Sept. 24 Heavy realiz
| ing predominated upon the cotton mar-
I ket today in the face of unfavorable
| weather conditions, which resulted in
I prices opening 3 to 7 points below last
I night's close. Liverpool cables showed a
I decided weakness in the initial trading,
and it was reported that the market
there feels the influence of increased
hedge selling. The selling was led by
large spot houses and ring speculators.
After the call the market developed ir
tcgularity from the early range.
Futures in Liverpool quiet; spots easier
and in limited demand.

By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.- Narrowness
dominated the stock market at the open
ing today and initial movements were
generally toward lower levels. The In st
gain was made by Southern Pacific which
advanced '- on its second transaction but
later it receded.
Among the recessions were United
Stales Steel common %. Amalgamated
Copper %. Reading '... I'nion Pacific %.
Pennsylvania and American Smelting
gained %. Baltimore and Ohio ami Le
high Valley were unchanged on their first
I sales. The list was somewhat depressed
I by the failure of the firm of S. it. Dow
& Co., and it failed to rally from the ad
vance in London caused bj speculators
buying for the new account winch begins
tomorrow.
The curl) was easy. Americans in Lon
don were firm. Canadian Pacific there
was sympathetically higher.

World's shipments were enormous and
there were heavy Northwest receipts,
coupled with a big increase in the amount

Corn was %e to l%c lower on the im
