17 TiTT ATT A NT A OEOTWITAN AND NFWS. STEADIES CIITOI Texas Rains and Low Cables Are Cause of Early Dip—Spot Houses Buy. COTTON GOSSIP NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Weak cables and a let-up in the demand from the spinners caused the cotton Ynarket to open weak to-day and first prices were at a net decline of 7 to 15 points from Thursday's final. There was consider able hedge selling in Liverpool. There was also a tendency In some quarters to increase the crop estimate, owing to the rains over the Texas belt. After prices had sold some 3 to 6 poinis higher than the opening quotations the de cline was widened 17 to 21 points through a general liquidation movement led by the ring and brokers acting ap parently for Wall Street There was also considerable realizing sales Habersham King’s latest circular as to the condition of the crop since the last census report was considered very favorable, which, of course, had its usual depressing effect on the market. In addition to this the weather map shows favorable conditions over night with in dications pointing to further rains in neede sections. Good rains fell over the entire dlouth stricken area and in some sections complaints are current j of too much moisture and doing dam age to the gr-ioe. After the call the list steadied through active buying by Spot houses and shorts who took advantage of the early low level, resulting in prices climbing back to the op.nlrg range. Following Eire 11 a. m. bids in New York: October, 12.82; December, 12.72; January, 12.62; March, 12.71 Following are 10 a. m. bids in New Orleans: October 12.62: December, 12.73; January, 12. <6; March. 12.86 Estimated cotton receipts: Saturday. 1912.

This, with the expectation of a bullish week-end statement, had a stimulating effect and prices gradually retrieved the initial decline and had the appearance of climbing the latter still higher before the close. However, sentiment continues bearish on the be lief that the Southwestern rains will increase the yield in that section and fear that the actual will be of heavy weight soon. Meanwhile the market is subject to news from Washington relating to the cotton tax bill and anything favorable or unfavorable would in all probability cause quick changes. News from the White House to-day is practically nil. NEW YORK COTTON. | | j 1 1:30 f Prev 'OpenlHigh ! LowIP.M.' Close.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 12.—Texas and Oklahoma papers are jubilant over the general rainfall, and tnere are already many reports of an Improved crop out look. While the grade is injured in places tHe cotton is not lost some re ports of blooms, plant recuperating, and with an open fall, considerable increase In yield expected. The weather map shows cloudy and general rains in the western half of the belt, generally fair and no rain in the eastern 'half. Indicu- rations are for clearing and cooler weather in the northwestern quarter. Further rains in the southern half of Texas and rains likely to move on the South Central States and Alabama over the week-end. Increasing cloudiness ii( the Atlantics. It will become consider ably cooler over the northern half of the belt, but not injuriously so. and the cool spell will be of short duration. Liverpool shows distinct weakness with futures about seven points lower than due. spots 12 points down; sales. 8,000. First trades here were at a decline of about 10 points, followed by further weakness. December selling to 12.67 in the first hour. The market depends on the support of the leaders, otherwise, it is inclined to liquidation on better crop news from the West; increasing weight of crop, slack spot demand and techni cal conditions. More hopeful news from Washington would at all times have a stimulating effect. NEW ORLEANS COTTON. I 1:30 ! Prev.

Sept. 12. Liverpool re ports that the South is offering freely, while spinning trade shows some slack ening. American spinners are buying verv moderately. The question arises naturally, therefore, whether big re ceipts will be absorbed without decline. Feeling that it is impossible Is reflected In lower values.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12 - J. M. Ander son “Liverpool was disappointing to the bullish element. The decline, it Is said, was based on hedge selling and American longs hedging their contracts in the English market. Cables also said the trade was falling off.
