The figures 3,663,000 bales ginned up to Sept. 110, were larger than even the bears ex pected. Selling was in large volume and prices were sent under the 10 cent mark on both October and December. New io\\p levels for the season were es tablished' on all deliveries. Nothing but heavy realizing by the short side pre vented a much wider break. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were 8 to 12 points under Saturday’s close. In the trading up to 11 o’clock the market was only moderately active. Prices were sustained by constant profit taking by shorts who were satisfied to realize without going over the condition report. Ai 11 o’clock the market was standing 8 points down on the more ac tive months. The condition report of 71.1 per cent of the normal 5.6 points higher than the ten year average, widen ed the decline to 10 to 15 points. This decline was met by renewed profit tak ing on the part of shorts and at noon the trading months were 3 to 8 points under Saturday’s close. Some bears figure a total yield of from 14,500,000 to 15,000,000 bales from the day’s reports and such estimates were wired out over ihe cotton belt and brough? In a mod erate number of selling orders but the market wore a professional look all the morning. The market closed steady at a net de cline of 1? to 19 points. Open. High. Low.

N. Y. STOCK MARKET New York—Small gains were made by most of ihe standard stocks at the open ing of the market today. Lehigh t'al lev, Union Pacific. American Smelting and American Tobacco pfd .advanced a point, Li. S. Steel rose 8-4 and Chesa peake and Ohio 5-S. Atchison, Balti more and Ohio and St. Paul showed some heaviness. On a further rise in prices running to 1 8-S in Reading, free offerings were en countered coincident with the announce ment of 32,000,000 gold for export. The list reacted to about Saturday’s closing with St. Paul, Atchison and Amalga mated Copper showing some heaviness. Virginia Carolina Chemical improved two points. l.arge stock offering checked a rise which had made considerable progress early today. Harriman stocks were not affected by the strike on those roaos. Pressure against the market was not relieved in the second hour and prices sagged steadily. U. S. Steel, St. Paul, Reading, Southern Pacific, Amalgamat ed copper and Atchison sold 1-2 to 3-4 below last week’s close and other active issues smaller fraci ions. The list moved within the narrowest limits during the noon hour, with prices at auout the low level. Trading was duller than during some days ad al most wholly professional. The drooj ing tendency v*'i\s ascribed to the gold ex ports, but further selling for profits was probably a more potent factor. Speculation was devoid of any feature in the afternoon and prices were almost motionless. The market closed steady. Covering operations sent up prices a fraction but the demand was not per sisted in after quotations had recovered to yesterday’s closing. NEW YORK STOCK LIST.

MARKET LETTERS HENRY CLEWS & CO’S WEEKLY COTTON LETTER New York. —Although Wall Street’s chaotic conditions were undoubtedly re sponsible lor some of the weakness dis played in the cotton mar ..or during the greater part of the week, the real reason for the further decline was a con inun tion of the record breaking movement and the undiminished southern offerings of spots, notwithstanding the wide spread campaign stnl vigorously pursued to induce the planters to hold for last year’s price. From some parts of the belt come reports of less promise than a week ago, due to worm ravages, but. on the whole, weather and other conditions have been ideal for rapid maturing and harves ing over the entire cotton producing sections a recordbreaking yield from the unprecedented acreage, although the final total can only be approximated until the killing frost date has been establish ed. In view of the continuation of such favorable conditions it is not surprising that spinners, even at the marked de cline which has taken place, refuse to maked and heavy commitments for fu ture delivery as they believe now, and rightly so, that ultimate values wi.. be based on estimates of the surplus crop which, by some authorities is already being placed at 2,000,000. bales.—Henry Clews & Co. HENRY CLEWS & GO’S WEEKLY LETTER N«w York. —Many stocks are selling at exceedingly attractive figures as investments, and it may be mentioned that dividend dlsbursments on October 1 will aggregate about $180,000,000. Pur chases of stocks should. however, be made with sharp discrimination, pre ference being given to the better class of railroad Issues. It would seem as if the railroads had discounted all known ad versed traffic, and have comparatively little to soar from Government inter ference. The regulartlon of railways Ims already made considerable progress and removed many of the former points of criticism. With the industrials, the situation is quite different. They have just entered upon an exceedingly try ing period. Not a few of the larger con cerns will be obliged to dissolve. Tills will bo disconcerting and irritating to managers and owners, still it should be remembered that these great organiza tions must continue in business. There will be little check upon production and manufacturing. Real values will not be destroyed. There may be some diminu tion of monopoly profits, and some of the advantages of combinations for regulating prices will, of course, lie lost. Some of these organizations, however, have proven unduly profitable and were largely responsible for the present out cry against corporations. With the re moval of these objections. popular clamor should moderate; competition should be at least partially .restored, and in the end the outlook ought to be for more peaceful political conditions. It will not, nowyker, < to be over sanguine regarding the latter until there has been a material reduction in the present cosi of living-—tha is still one of the burning issues of the day.— Henry Clewa ft Co. J. S. BACHE A CO.’S WEEKLY LETTER New York —The vqjume of business seems not to have been affected very largely thus far bv tho disturbances in the securities market. This appears to be especially so In the Iron and steel trade, and Dun’s “Review” calls atten tion to the fact that less sensitiveness Is paid to financial conditions In this line than has been customary In the past. This all may be laid to the fact that supplies In nearly every line of busi ness are well cut down, so that Immed iate requirements have to be filled, whether or no, and also it indicates to some extent that credit Is sound and not as sensitive to financial disturb ances as would be the case If trade was at all extended. The bank clearings show an increase of 11.8 per cent, over tho same period last year, hut this gain Is due to the expansion of 17.7 per cent In New York City, the result here being caused by the large volume of business in the stock market during the lost week. As here tofore, no large enterprises are being; undertaken and consevatism Is the rule 1?) all branches of trade and industry. The striking decline in the stock mar ket, followed, after the statement of the steel directors, by excitement and rather violent fluctuations has been succeeded by much calmness, with grad ual appreciation of tho price level, due perhaps more to deliberate covering by shorts than to any interest by outside purchasers.—J. B. Baohe & Co. SLACK A BURRUS COTTON LETTER Augusta, Ga.—The action of the mar ket today was decidedly disappointing on both sides notwithstanding the fact that Liverpool (Amo much lower than was expected ana that the government Issued its report making the amount of cotton ginned up to Bept. 26, 3,663,000 which are the hugest figures on record, by one million hales, covering the same period In any year. Actual transactions were made on the opening at figures about 10 points below our close last night. This level was maintained with comparatively little change until the noon hour when the government Is sued Its condition report, giving figures of 71.1. These fi/pjrw: were lower than generally expected, and the market Im mediately showed some weakness, indi cating, unmistakablely, the lack of buy ing power. The narrow mnge In which prices have moved tells the story of an exceedingly small speculative Interest both on the short and on the long side, and emphasizes the fact that ttie mar ket is to an unusual degree dependent upon the Legitimate factors of supply and demand. The attitude of the spin ner and the farmer at the moment, the spinner seems an indifferent, buyer, tha farmer a free seller. Under these con ditions it is therefore hard to see how any sustained advance can he maintain ed notwithstanding the present record low levels.—Slack & Burrus.

The opening was l-Bal-4 lower to a shade up. December started at 98 1-8&1-4 a sixteenth off to a like amount higher ami declined to 97 7-8. Rather free selling of corn developed after the market had made a moderate bulge. December opened l-*ki3-8 higher at 64 1-4 to 3-8 and rose to 64 3-Bal-2. Oats displayed sympathy with corn but reports of a big crop In PYance restrain ed much advance. December started 1-4 to l-4a3-8 up at 47 7-8 to 48 to 48 1-4 to l-4a3-8 up at 47 7-Ba4B to 48 and reacted to 47 3-4a7-8. Absence of deliveries made provisions strong. The gain in exports lust week had a similar effect. First sales were salo higher with January deliveries 1496 for pork, 890 for lard and 797 1-2 for ribs. Reports of frost damage in Argen tina brought about an advance in wheat, which closed easy wl h December a shade net lower at 98 1-8. Scarcity of offerings led to a further advance in corn.

NEED MUZZLES i PfiESiOEilT’S Til Bad “Breaks” Made on Sever al Occasions by Taft’s Well Wishers in Addresses. Washington, D. C.—Some of Presi dent Taft's friends and political sup porters would like to send a supply of Bags or muzzles to the Presidential train that is now touring the coun try, to be applied to men who wish him well, but do i»ot seem to have the faculty ot restraining their speech. Several times during the progress ot the Taft Journey Republican states men who follow ills flag apparently have lost their heads and at least twice the President has been com pelled to take notice of what they said and to make It clear he did not In dorse It. First On®. Tho first Incident occurred at Mnr quette, Mich., where Representative Young, of that Htate, in what evident ly was intended to be a semi-humor ous effort at a luncheon to the Presi dent. took occasion to have a fling at Woodrow Wilson, whom events may make Mr. Taft's Democratic opponent next year. The President lost no time in saying in a Jocmar way, when his turn came to speak: "I am not entirely certain that the congressman knows what he was talk ing about.” He said It with a smile, but the audience understood that President Taft intended to show his disapproval of any slurs upon th e governor of New Jersey. When the President reached Kansas whore the nicest kind of tact was necessary to preserve an ah of Re publican harmony, one of Mr. Taft’s cabinet officers, Secretary of the In terior Fisher, in a three-minute speoch, made a hot attack upon the radical progressives. It was certain to produce Just exactly what eusued —an equally hot reply from Senator Bristow, of Kansas, whose bump of oombalatlveness is a big one, end who brought forth a yell from the crowd when 110 answered the cabinet of ficer. “Forbidden Topio.’’ Now, Senator Kenyon, of lowa, a partially progressive senator, a for mer trust buster and a supporter of Taft, has dug up another “forbidden topic." In introducing tho President at Fort Dodge, he made n comparison between the trust prosecutions of the Taft and Roosevelt administrations, to the disparagement of the latter, and made an allusion to the cx-President’s lion hunt in Africa, which may or may not have been Intended as Irony. Again the President was compelled to take notice of another speak* r’s re marks, and himself paid a tribute to I the work of trust prosecution done un der t.h 0 Roosevelt admlnlstralon. In Washington the President’s support ers are almost tearfully waiting for the news of the next “break.” 0, & W. 0. RAILWAY Effective Sept. 10th, 1911 The following arrivals and departure* of train*.
