NTAV YORK, Oct. 4 Stronger Gulf dis t turbances overnight and generally unfa vorable weather map caused the cotton market to open steady today, with prices a net gain of 1 to 5 points over the pre vious close. Heavy buying by shorts during the first fifteen minutes resulted In near positions advancing 8 to 11 points over the early range Liverpool cables were much lower than expected at the outset, but later cables reported an upward movement had prevailed in that market Trading during the afternoon session was somewhat erratic and the principal feature to the market was the aggressive neks of spot interests. Support from these Jpurces, with absence of support from the bear, were the dominating factors sos the substantial rally during the initial trading to be so firmly maintained. Th* 5 entire list was an aggregate of 5 to 8 points over last night's close, with the exception of October, which was ham mered by a few prominent bears, causing this option to sag around the opening rhe demand from spinners continues ( gnod and this will probably effect the bearish feeling among a majority of trad ers. The technical position of the mar ket is strong, as the local crowd is short, combined with the belief that a short interest is existing throughout the coun try, and if the predicted colder weather prevails over Sunday and an early frost is probable, it would undoubtedly cause a w<vp of short covering, resulting in a substantial advance At the close the market was steady, with prices a net gain of 8 to 19 points from the final quotations of Thursday.

No rain west of Alabama, but cloud) with general pre ' cipitation, heavy in iwerts of the Atlan tic®, as a result of the disturbance in the east Gulf, which has rather developed overnight. Indications are f<>r stationary conditions kn the western halt for a dav; cloudy weaaher and further rains in the southeastern quarter of the belt Pres- 1 sure distribution is also favorable to the ' development of a distinctly cold wave in 1 the northwest by Monda) Political news from Europe is rather less favorable Frontier fighting reported in the Balkans Liverpool met the full decline in futures on our side, but re covered sharply in the last hour. First trades here were at an advance of about 4 points, to which 5 more were added in the early trading Support was based on the unfavorable weather prospects, but fear of political developments in Europe checked determination. New York operators said that big oper ators had covered and were favoring a re action. The market became dull after the first hour and prices sagged With . the threatening political situation in Eu rope and prospects for bad weather, the i rharket prefers to take a waiting atti i tude for a few days and much depends today on spot reports RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 4—Hayward * Clark: The weather map shows west of Alabama, no rain; cloudy east of Missis sippi; generally rains heavy in parts of Atlantics. Gulf disturbance developed stronger over night, now in east gulf. 1 and we may get storm warning today for i East Gulf coast. Map indicates station ary conditions in western half of belt; further rains in southeastern quarter; : disturbances likely to be felt on upper | Florida coast. DecideiLcold wave forma- I tion appearing in Northwest, but will not ; be fully developed before Sunday or Mon- ) day. r>pot brokers say more inquiry, more j sales as factors, more inclined to sell, I prices easier. New Orleans Times-Democrat says: I Shorts covered to some extent, and yes- i terday's contract markets in America re- I fleeted steadiness and some nervousness I among the talent. The cause of bearish ) caution was not quite clear, though con- ; trlbuting factors may have included 1 heavier exports during the past few’ days. I A little evidence of buying for spinners ; account, anil some slight indication of stoim formation south of Florida, at a) time when the atmosphere conditions of fer no barrier against storm indirection of the cotton belt. The forenoon advance was helped along by a false rumor of a storm at Galveston, but the points gained on this rumor were lost when the truth came out. Sentiment among speculators continues bearish, but here and there bear speculators seem to fear temporary stead iness and possible reactions upward. On the other hand there are many actual cot ton merchants who believe the yields of 1912 will be sold at an average price higher than current values, though some exporters, basing their opinions on their experience and business relations, say they have ample reason to believe actual cotton will continue to weigh on the mar ket during man) weeks to come.

By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK, Oct, 4. —Reports that the dividend of Canadian Pacific will be in creased at the next meeting of the board caused that issue to open 2 points higher here today at the beginning of business on the stock exchange. This was the big gest Initial gain recorded, although ad vances were made throughout the list. Though the market was strong, being influenced to a large extent by private cable advices that the Balkan situation had begun to clear and that the possi bility of war was less likely. Among the gains were: United States Steel, common. %; st. Louis Southwest ern. >4: Amalgamated Copper. %; Erie, %; Southern Railway, %; Missouri Pacific. %: Lehigh Valley, %: Union Pacific, %; Reading, %: Baltimore & Ohio, •%; Penn sylvania. %. The curb was firm. Americans in London were bullish; Can adian Pacific there spurted. Price movements in the late forenoon were confined to fractional gains and losses. Lehigh Valley and St. Paul were strong, however, advancing more than a point each, and a gain of % was noted in Reading. The local tractions were strong. Cables from Paris stating that hostili ties on a more or less extended scale had broken but in the Balkans depressed the market in the last hour. Selling was heaviest in Steel common, which declined from 80% to 78%. It is estimated that 30,000 shares were ordered sold by cable for foreign accounts. Other issues acted sympathetically. The market closed steady. Government bonds unchanged; other bonds steady. Stock quota’tons- I | ILast IClos.lPrev STOCKS— [HighlLow.lSale.l Bid-ICl's® Antal. Copper. 1'2% I'l% 91'.. id'.. 94% Am.
