NEW YORK. Sept. 26.—Although first
prices were generally above last night's
close, a selling movement developed im
mediately after the opening of the stock
exchange today, which in some instances
turned the advances into losses.
Much of the selling was said to repre
sent profit-taking. United States Steel
common, after beginnig % higher, lost %.
Amalgamated Copper was % higher at
the start, but this gain was later reduced
to %c. Caandlan Pacific made about the
best initial spurt, rising a full point, but
within fifteen minutes it had lost %.
American Smelting was % up and
tuated around that price. Southern Pa
cific was % higher at the commence
ment. but slumped. Baltimore and Ohio
wms % higher, but later lost It.
Traders were of the opinion that the
r ’ ae 'J}. money rates was chiefly re
sponsible for the bearish trend.
The curb market was steady.
Americans in London were firm.

After Erratic Trading Session
Market Weakens at Close
on Liquidation.
T , YORK, Sept. 25.—Weakness in
I ca !’les and absence of frost last
I k* ’> ca ” s ed the cotton market to open
r ? 5 steady today, with prices ranging 1
P° nt? l° wer to 1 point lower than
11 s close. During the first flf
’ LT® 1 ? m inutes of trading a good buying
[Wave prevailed, which appeared to come
from shorts who are believed to be cov
ermg on predictions of much colder
?. eather , ’J the western belt tonight with
tne probability of frost for tonight and
prices advanced 7 to 9 points over the
opening figures. After the call the mar
ket became unsettled and sagged a few
Pomts- "he ring crowd was free sellers,
while the buying was moderate and scat
tered.
The selling throughout the morning
' session continued rather general by the
same bears that predominated in the
I market yesterday. The buying was mod
erate on prediction of colder weather in
north Texas and Oklahoma, which rallied
the market, but the volume of business
was rather small and fluctuations were
narrow. Reports of great deterioration
continued to come in from the eastern
and western belts, but this was knocked
in the head by rumors that National Din
ners condition figures were 68 to 69,
against 67.4 last month, which was re
garded very bearish and prices during the
, afternoon trading were only a few points
>n excess of the initial figures, ranging
acont 4 7 points from the opening.
There has been good spot demand re
ported in various sections and the pre-
I vailing opinion among traders is that the
i market will not have any decline of con-
I sequence, as the average trader seems to
I be awaiting to buy on any reaction, as
' the conception of the larger spot Inter-
I ests have been quietly buying for past
I few days. Sentiments at present are
| somewhat mixed.
At the close the market was barely
i steady with prices displaying irregularity
I ranging from 2 to 3 points lower to 2 to 4
points higher than the final quotations of
Tuesday.

HAYWARD <t CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
; NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 25.—80th Liv
' erpool and New York appear to be heavy
lowing to an unfavorable technical condi-
I tion, absence of short interests, slow mill
I demand and larpe daily hedge selling.
[ Liverpool came in somewhat lower than
j due and shows spot prices only 3 points
I higher.
The bull support of last week does not
I seem in evidence in New York and the
, market required the stimulant of unfa-
I vorable weather to sustain prices. After
j an advance of about 5 points, prices here
dropped back to 11.59. It is thought
i that tomorrow’s bureau report on sup
| ply and distribution will show bearish
1 statistics in large stocks. Bullish reports
by states are expected from The Journal
of Commerce in the next few days.
The map shows cloudy weather over
nearly the entire belt. Little rain except
in the Atlantics. Much lower tempera
tures in the northwest. Amarillo, in pan
handle of Texas, 38 degrees, Oklahoma
City 42. Indications point to a further
fall In north Texas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas, and probably frost general in the
northwestern quarter of the belt; rainy
I and cooler weather elsewhere. The tem
[ perature average for Texas yesterday was
62. against 70 last year and 44 for Okla
| homa, against 66 last yera Such low
temperatures in Oklahoma did not appear
last year until October 9.
In view of the fact that all correspond
! ence from Oklahoma expressed the hope
of a large crop if frost held off until the
middle of October, the present unusally
cold weather may materially reduce crop
prospects there. Definite information in
ihis respect will not be had until later.
The lower central and eastern states are
in no danger of cold weather of conse
quence from this cold wave, but prospects
are for further rains.

i NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—Carpenter, Bag
got & Co.: S. Tate, of Carpenter. Baggot
j & Co., says: “Early in the week the gov
; ernment bureau report predicted there
' would be a high barometer appearing in
■ the Northwest about Wednesday or
l Thursday, which would bring very much
I colder weather. E. G. Scales, who is a
| close student of the weather map, wires
his friends this morning a high in ex-
I treme Northwest just showing up that
j will give heavy frost about Sunday or
| Monday in the Mississippi valley and
| western cotton belt, and is advising his
i friends to buy some cotton.”
I Some good buying prevailed at the Ini
' tial trading, which looked like shorts were
covering on predictions of much colder
weather in the west tonight. The rinn
■ crowd were liberal sellers.
About noon the buying seemed con
; centrated.
The Journal of Commerce says: “There
is no frost damage yet. Everybody is
watching the weather, as much depends
upon delay In frost for cotton.”
I Dallas wires: “Texas- Eastern portion
clear; balance partly cloudy to cloudy; 44
I at Quanah, 38 at Amarillo, 50 at Abilene,
' 56 at Dallas; getting colder; north winds;
I high north winds in panhandle. Okla
i homa—Generally fair and colder; ■ strong
north winds.”
i It was rumored this morning that the
. National Ginners’ condition of the crop
was 68 to 69, against 67.4 last month.
; This rumor was not confirmed.
I Hutton and Pell interests were said to
have bought heavily today, which was re
ported to be for New Orleans account, and
Schill is said to have sold freely.
Following are 11 a. m. bids: October
11.25. December 11.54, January 11.51,

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 25.—Hayward &
Clark: I’he weather map shows cloudy
over entire belt; no rain, except some in
the Atlantics. Unusually low tempera
tures In northwestern section of the cot
ton belt; Amarillo 38, Oklahoma 42, with
wind from north, and indications for cold
er tonight; rainy, colder weather indi
, cated over nearlj the entire belt Map
I indicates further fall in temperatures to
night in north Texas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas; rains and cooler In south Texas.
I San Antonio writes, dated September
23: "Many points in this section report
picking nearly over, and some gins are
; not now running full time. However,
; most all of them have ginned to date
niore than last year’s total. Some blooms
have been reported recently, but no one
expects any top crop of consequence, re
' gardless of what the weather may be.
Spots have been at a premium recently
I and 11 5 16c basis was freely paid here
for 1,000-bale lots during market hours
; and up to and within about an hour of
the close today. Offerings are light and
the country seems busy tilling up short
I commitments for September.”
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
In the cotton belt the coming of killing
frost is usually preceded by a series of
frost scares. This season frost talk has
, started early. Last week there was a
frost prediction for the northwestern por
tion of the belt and light frost came in
‘ the Texas panhandle. Yesterday the
weather man promised low temperatures,
; possibly near freezing, in that section.
The returns this morning may show
I the thermometer failed to drop as low
|as expected, but the weather students
on the floor say the pointer Is for frost
marks on the map by Thursday morning.
They, in turn, may be mistaken. Never
theless, the barometric lines show a dis
tinct drift toward an early fall, the one
development the big crop man fears. On
I the other hand, cotton is piling up at
* Galveston, in spite of the fact tliat ocean
freight rates are lower and ’’relet” export
i room is seeking purchasers. Under the
; circumstances, the bear attempts to prove
| the untenableness of the bulls’ position
Iby saying the fact that the market re
fuses to advance in the face of frost
warnings demonstrates underlying weak
ness.
Tlte bull takes the. position that almost
everybody being against the market, the
I demand for the actual being spasmodic
and frost failing to appear, would con-
I stitute a bearish situation in the cotton
market were not underlying conditions of
a strength-giving character

I < opper was one of the most prominent
■ stocks at tb.e opening of the market to
day, advancing to 91%. Buying pf this
issue was based on a belief that Ana
conda s dividend rate implies that the rate

tober. Most of the speculative interest
was centered in the industrials and many
, In rn &de gains Among them were

the Industrials in the late forenoon and
substantial gains were made. American
Smelting was exceptionally strong, ad
vancing 2’s to 90. Utah (’upper and Gug
genheim Exploration were active, moving
up more than a point each. A number
of minor steel industrials were a,lso active

heavy tone.
An upward movement which started in

I CHICAGO, Sept. 25.—Wheat opened %c
j higher today. Continued unfavorable
weather in the Northwest caused the
wheat offerings to tighten up this niorn-
; ing and shorts to buy more freely. There
; was very little encouragement, however,
i from abroad,
, Corn was up %c to %c on shorts cov
; ering and small offerings. Receipts were
I smaller at Chicago.
I Oats w/re unchanged to a shade higher,
. and firm with other grains.
Provisions were well sustained with
I Ilogs
: Wheat was erratic today, final prices
' showing net declines of 1% on September,
j 1 cent on December and %e on May. The
( /dose was a little above the low point of
: the day. The market was steady at the
opening and a small advance was reeord
led on unfavorable weather and the
| strength exhibited in Minneapolis. Heavy
bear selling on continued heavy receipts
; and slow milling demand broke the mar
! ket toward the close.
Corn was strong, showing gains of 1
' rent for September and %c for December
' and May.
Oats were off sharply, the close ranging
from % to l%c lower than that of yes
terday, with September the weakest spot.
Provisions were about unchanged. The
