ENORMOUS SALES LOWERCOTION One Hundred Thousand Bales Sold in First Hour—Senti ment Bearish. 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. RANQE OF NEW YORK FUTU Af3.

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.

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.

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.

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; March. 11.63. 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.

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, 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.

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.

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 curred late in the session from the bot tom levels on buying by shorts to secure profits. i Corn closed W'lth prices ranging from % to %c lower. Liquidation by longs was the main feature. Oats were off % to %c. This market followed wheat and corn. Provisions were inclined to follow grain. The January products were firmer beco.ua* of the talk of frost and crop losses in the corn belt.
