I NEW YORK. Sept. 26.—Selling nf cot
| ton which had been bought yesterday on
! the supposition that frost would prevail
{ over the eastern belt, came out at the
opening of the cotton market today, with
I the result that the list ranged from uu
. changed to 4 points below last night s
close. The lone was firm. After the call
‘there, was further selling, which de
; pressed prices about 6 points under last
night’s close.
| Selling continued general and heavy
throughout the morning session and it
was estimated that fully 100,000 bales were
thrown upon the market. It's very hard
to say where this cotton came from, but
the general belief is that the bear element
is endeavoring to get the market in lower
levels to enable them to take on a vast
j amount of cheap cotton ami large orders
, were cast upon the market on the theory
(that much money had. been lost In previ
l ous years in purchasing cotton on frost
news. Where this cotton went to it’s very
difficult to say who absorbed it. but it is
believed spot interests took a great quan
tity of it. After this precipitant selling
wave the market steadied and prices
worked back toward the opening.
December and January displayed the
most weakness. December dropped from
11.54 io 11.44, while January fell from
11.52 to 11.43. The remaining positions
followed the decline moderately. There
was little or nothing doing in the market
• luring the afternoon, while fluctuations
were narrow with prices an aggregate of
2 lo 7 points from the opening. There
seemed to be a good demand for cotton
on all <le< lines, which was a dominating
factor for the firmly maintained prices.
During the last half hour of trailing re
newed selling pressure prevailed and
prices slumped Lack into the low levels
with October going to 11.02. At the close
the market was steady with prices a net
loss of 16 to 23 points from the Anal fig
ures of Wednesday.

HAYWARD &, CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Sept 26 - The weight
of supplies and the indifference on the
part of consumers seem to outweigh for
the present bullish weather and crop
developments. Liverpool again came in
dull and easy, with spots 1 point lower.
New York support also, seemed absent,
for that market opened lower in spite of
bad weather news, and caused a. corre
sponding decline here in December to
11.51. New York reports an unfavorable
technical condition of the market, absence
of speculative short interest and gives
this as a reason for the lack, of support
by bull operators
The weather, however, is so nad that
pressure against bull interests was not
very pronounced and the market rallied
and settled around 11.56 for December.
The mat> shows fair weather in Texas
I and north Oklahoma, and cloudy else
I where. Unusually low temperatures in
the northwestern quarter. General rains
in south Texas and the central states:
Ino rajn ami seasonable temperatures in
the eastern states Heavy to killing frost
was reliably reported from many points
in Oklahoma, with temperatures of 32 de
grees.

Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—Carpenter. Bag
got & Co.: A special report to The Jour
[ nal of Commerce said: "Mississippi sea
■ son still about three weeks late and an
. early frost would considerably shorten the
i yield. 801 l weevils very numerous and
' much damage Inflicted, together with the
l army worm, which seriously impaired top
I crop prospects. Dry weather and army
worms chief cause of shedding, but little
' loss has occurred from this source. Sev
eral points in percentage condition have
been lost during the month. Crop only
about 1.3 per cent picked, against 28 per
cent, against 17 per cent two years ago.
IjouTsiana—Worms and boll weevils,
I accompanied by hot weather, have caused
I considerable deterioration and very much
l lessened prospects of a top crop. Foliage
[ badly stripped and bolls are exposed.
; Condition considerably below last month,
but probably better than last year when
it was 61.2 and 49.3 year before. Percent
age picked is roughly 32 per cent, against
46 last year and 38 two years ago."
Anticipations prevail that frost will not
be detrimental to cotton to a great extent.
Dallas wires: “Texas clear to part
cloudy and cold, Amarillo 38; light frost;
no other frost reported; 42 Paris, 46 Dal
las, 42 Henrietta Oklahoma clear and
cold: heavy frost at New Kirk, Caching,
Chandler, Sayre. Clinton and Oklahoma.
Division of Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad, Bartlesville to Oklahoma City,
light frosts. Osage. Bristow.”
There has been fully a hundred thou
sand bales of cotton thrown on the mar
ket this morning This cotton has been
taken by somebody and it is believed by
spot people.
After the heavy wave of selling was
over the market responded easily to little
buying.
There is no question of heavy frosts In
Oklahoma and will be followed by more
tonight. This we must not overlook. It
is very early for such cold weather and
is a forerunner of what we may expect in
a very short while.
Reports of deterioration continue to
come in and there is no question that the
crop is much smaller than many believe.
Spot demand continues good and in the
face of this demand and the very unfa
vorable weather conditions we may ex
pect a higher market.
Following are 11 a. m. bids: October,
11.19: December, 11.50; January, 11.49;

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 26.—Hayward &
i'lark: The weather map shows fair In
north Texas and Oklahoma; cloudy else
where. Unusually low temperature in
north Texas and Oklahoma; 44 at Fort
Worth, 36 at Oklahoma City. General
rains in central states; heavy at several
points. Indications are for slightly warm
er weather in the northwest, but colder
and more rain in central and eastern
states. Some storm formation in east
gulf, but cold wave is likely to keep it out.
Waco. Texas, wires: "Cotton fields in
central Texas spotted in many sections,
particularly In Ellis, Hild and Mclxiilan
counties. Extremely light top crop is
• preseni prospect for that section Farm
! ers selling fast as crop is ginned. Com-
I presses in north and centra! Texas con-
Igested; look for heavier receipts at Gal
veston.
A light frost prevailed at Amarillo,
Texas, last night. The temperature stood
at 38; no other frost reported in Texas.
Dallas. Texas, temperature was 46.
Party in Hobart, Okla., wires: "Heavy
frqst in bottoms: light frost uplands;
some ice over western Oklahoma."
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
Both factions continue drawing cold com
fort only from the cotton market. At the
moment the weather is working against
the big crop people, while all along thus
far this season restricted demand from
spinners has been working against the
high price' folk. In the broader aspect the
general situation does not seem to be
undergoing any potential change, unless
frosts are to curtail the yield, but In the
immediate aspect 'the ramifications of a
rather complicated environment are con
stantly shifting.
Yesterday’s promise of frost in portions
of Oklahoma. Arkansas and Texas, It Is
reasonable to suppose, brings the crop
nearer the date of killing frost, particu
larly so since the cold snap waves are
coming with striking frequency. It would
be folly to assume that an early killing
frost would not curtail the yield in Okla
homa.. Arkansas and Texas, at least to
some extent. Even now some spot people
in Oklahoma express concern in this con
nection. On the other hand, port stocks
are piling up with startling rapidity anti
now' exceed those at this time last year

) STOCKS JI CLOSE
Market Steadies on Lack of
Sufficient Supply of Money,
Postponing Manipulation.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
I 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 beginning % higher, lost
%. Amalgamated Copper was % higher at
the start, but this gain was later reduced
to %c. Canadian Pacific made about the
best initial spurt, rising a full point, but
w’ithin fifteen minutes it had lost %.
American Smelting was % up and fluc
tuated around that price. Southern Pa
ciflc was % higner at the commence
ment, but slumped. Baltimore and Ohio
was % higher, but later lost ft.
Traders were of the opinion that the
rise in call money rates was chiefly re
sponsible for the bearish trend.
The curb market was steady.
Americans tn London were firm.
Price movements in the late forenoon
were irregular. A number of the leading
railroads and industrials were under
pressure and sustained fractional losses.
A few of the copper shares were under
pressure.
The stock market closed heavy; gov
ernments unchanged; other bonds steady.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26. There were further
price recessions of %@% in wheat thb
morning caused by the lack of support
from all of the interests which have
been in the market on the bull side for
some time. Corn was %c higher to %®
%c lower, with the strength shown in
September on shorts covering.
Oats wer off %<&%c in sympathy with
wheat and hog products were fractionally
lower and slow
Wheat closed about %c lower, which
was about %o better than the low point
for the day. A slow milling demand in
the winter wheat markets and bearish
foreign advtoes were the main weakening
factors. Absence of export demand and
favorable w'eather helped. A rally oc

Libera! receitps of cattle In yards this
week. Several loads of Tennessee cattle
with better per cent of heavy steers in
good flesh, which were sold promptly at
prices about equal to quotations of week
ago. However, owing to the heavy re
ceipts. cattle in middle class sold off a
fraction and the market is quoted barely
steady with a weaker undertone on me
dium grades and 10c to 25c lower on the
Common kinds.
Feeding steers will begin to move free
ly after another week and larger re
ceipts are expected of good butchr steers
which will be considered too fat for the
average feeder to begin on.
Cow stuff is plentiful, local shoppers be
ing able to fully meet the market re
quirements. •
Sheep and lambs with quality are in
good demand, mixed and common lower
and are slow sale at lower prices.
Hog receipts moderate Market steady.
