Professionals Fight Among

to'n Firmly Held.
New York, Sept. 19.—In view of the
cables the opening of the local cotton
market this morning waa disappointing,
first prices being 1 to 4 points lower, in
fluenced by heavy selling pressure from
strong interests who were identified
with the bear side yesterday. After
the call the local market rallied 2 to 3
points from the bottom.
Tbp Liverpool market at the opening this
Miming wn« not discouraging. It opened
•bout ns expected, or about 5 points down
• tines and 2 points off on spot on sales
V4 ... <n> hales. The close was steady at
•limit 5 points decline from yesterday's
Liverpool's showing the New York
market should have opened at little change
from vesterdny, or 1 to 2 points higher,
whereas initial prices showed declines of 1
to 4 points, followed hy an Improvement of
tome 2 to 3 points in the early trading, af
ter which the tone was dull with fluctua
tions narrow, though the tendency was
slightly toward a lower level.
The public Is out of the market appar
ently nt present, leaving the professional
element, always hears, to shape the course
of prices on cotton for future delivery. In
•pots there is a good demand, and while of
ferings are free, sellers refuse to make

oernt: “Yesterday's cotton market was an
ungracious affair. Foreign tnleut, stirred

probably be the growth of suspicion abroad
which may be reflected there In less buoy

sence of proof that tbe acreage hns been
seriously underestimated, there Is no rea
son why the cotton market should not
continue to pursue the even tenor of It*
way, at least, until the relation of demand
to supply be more fully determined. Clr—-
ly enough, the American public Is In
mood to l)oost the fortunes of the staple
where good money Is the stake. Hence,
the tactics o1 the professional, whose
only opponent now Is some brother profes

attitude In this re»pect may dex-elop freah

Chicago, Sept 19.—There were moro
bulls on the board of trade today, an<^
closing prices for the day showed ad
vances of 6-8©>7-8c In wheat, 3-8#
1 l-4c in corn and 1 -2#1 3-8c In oats.
Provisions were generally better.
The average board of trade man feels
encouraged because of the large In
crease in the volume of business.
Everybody seemed to do a good-slxed
business. The fact that the outsider
Is now taking hold on the buying side
of wheat, com and oats may be called
the most encouraging feature.
Cosh sales were 0 loads wheat, 2 of
corn and 500,000 bushels oats at the
seaboard; 7,000 bushels wheat, 60,000
bushels com and 10,000 bushels oats at
Chicago.
Primary receipts: Wheat 1,060,000
bushels and com 916,000 bushels, com
pared with 1,118.000 and 790,000 bush
els, respectively, a year ago.
Clearances from the seaboard for the
day were 685,000 bushels wheat, 129,000

DAILY COTTON LETTER
New York, Sept. 10,-Agaln Liverpool tried
to help the bulla out and failed to respond
fully to tbe decline In our market yester
day, but the bulls failed to take advantage
of the opportunity, hence, prl*ea opened off
*2 to 4 points. The public continue# to play
the waiting game, and In the meantime the
Hng traders ninuao themselves b** playing
ping pong with? the market, one day bulls,
the next bear*. Crop, reports continue to
come In very much mixed, some claiming
that prospects have never been better snd
others that they sre very poor. There I*
no doubt but thnt conditions have been de
teriorating rnpldly for the last three weeks,
ns la usual for a* wet season as we have
had, nnd by the October report of the gov
ernment we expect to see a substantial fall
ing off in the figures. We do not believe In
the bumper crop estimates that have beefl
floating around, and think we will do well
to get 1l,7W,000, which will hardly bo suf
ficient to supply the demand In view of tbe
small surplus carried over. Also with the
lateness of the crop, we think present
prlcee too low to tiold.

New York, Sapt. 19.—For the ram#'

down a«aln thli morning. The getting
waa not at all precipitate and was
conducted wlth:carefut regard for com
parative stability In prlcee. But It wae
neverthetesa apparent that stocks were
being preaaed for aale ns fast aa the
market oouid safely take them. The
outcome of yesterday'* primaries In
New York city waa. from a Wall street
point of view, unaatlafactory and un
doubtedly waa a factor In the day's
leas confidant feeling. But the local
traction and other franchise stocks,
which would naturally auffar most di
rectly from the election of a radical
governor at Albany, waa no weaker
than the rest of the Hat. The atlfTnets
of call money, which ruled above 7 per
cent during the forenoon, waa an Im
portant factor In tracing before the
noon hour and Increased In the after
noon session.
The stock market all through the first
hour wss feverish and nnaatftad, early ad
vances being followed hy ehnrp declines
caused hy uneaahiesa over tbe money situa
tion. As a rule all trailers who had car#
tied stocks orcr night, sold aa qnlckly as
possible this morning. Heading was again
