The World c Washir RAILS SCORE GAINS Pacifies and St. Paul Advance at the Opening. PRICES RISE MODERATELY Buying of Special Stocks Imparts i Steadier Tone to Market. MONEY SITUATION UNCERTAIN Call Loans Open at 5^ Per Cent and Soon Advance to 6?Steel Holds Firm. NEW YORK. September 1'iite changes were nominal and irregular at the opening of today's stock market. Canadian Pacific, I'nion Pacific, Missouri Pacific and St. Paul were among the railroad Issues to show slight gains. The Fries, Northern Pacific, Atchison and Heading were a trifle under yesterday's close. Huying of special stocks, such as Canadian Pacific and Missouri Pac ific, imparted a steadier tone to the market and prices rose moderately. Stocks Show Uneven Tone. Further irregularity and lighter trading were the chief characteristics of today's market, a result of the uncertain monetary situation. Call loans opened at per cent, soon advancing to 6. Stocks showed an uneven tone, moving upward in the first hour, but failing in most instances to attain yesterday's best. Canadian Pacific was the feature of the railways, gaining more than 2 points. Steel held firm on moderately large offerings, but coppers were inclined to shade. American Tobacco was the conspicuous specialty rising 3 points. Bonds were steady. Steel Beaches Best Price. Steel was bought in huge blocks, and touched 78-%. its best price of the year. Reading and New York Central also made notable gains, and the whole market turned strong again. COTTON MARKETS. NEW YORK. NEW YORK, September 117.?The cotton market opened steady at a decline of 4 to 8 points under heavy general liquidation and southern selling, inspired by lower cables, reports of freer spot offerings and a feeling that the cold wave in the south had passed over without any widespread damage. October notices estimated at about bO.OtiO bales were issued, an^d that position sold off to 10.95 on the call. At the big discount under December leading spot interests were heavy buyers of October, which soon became relatively steadier, while the general market continued very nervous, and before the end of the first hour broke to a net loss of 7 to 9 points on the active months. Active covering by old shorts and some trade buying checked the decline during the morning and the market rallied to approximately the closing figures* of last night, but later eased off again under renewed liquidation and southern selling, with prices at midday about 4 to 5 points net lower.

M'GOVERN COMES OUT : FOR MUD HI) mmmmmmmmmmmmmarn Wisconsin Governor Says Taft Is a Reactionary?Wilson's Theories "Antiquated." MADISON", Wis.. September 27.?Gov. McGovern today issued a long open statement in which he announced that he would vote for the Roosevelt and John- i son presidential electors November 5. Aside from this, the governor said he would support the ^republican congressional and state and legislature tickets. < The governor's(statement says he can- ' not advocate the re-election of Taft and < Sherman, because as a progressive republican, he finds himself diametrically ! opposed \to almost everything they repre- ; sent. At great length, in explaining his position, the statement criticises the administration of President Taft, and also claims that Taft's reinomlnation was stolen. , Considerable spaoeValaa is given to explaining his reason for not being able to support the democratic ticket. Wilson's Theories "Antiquated." < "In Wood row Wilson there is much to admire." the statement declares. "He is a clean, wholesome, gifted and patriotic American. But he is a free trade democrat, who believes* in an antiquated theory of states' rights, and-relies for his election upon the support of boss-ridden political machines."' " Gov. McGovern says lie can see no prospect of advantage* to the progressive cause in the possible victory of Wilson over Taft. "Should It occur," he says, "it will be a moral victory only. In such event the people will have the satisfaction of having rebuked President Taft for his reactionary policies, his defiance of public opinion and bis alliance with corrupt bosses, but this will be all the good they will ever get out of it.'' Praises Candidates and Platform. In conclusion the governor praises the progressive party, its national candidates and platform. The governor says in part: ? * *? ? - ' e J_ At tt?J_ : Aianiresuy me pianorm is me isconsin idea nationalized. It is as like the republican state platform of two years ago as two peas. The republican state platform this year is in harmony with both. How can we who have sacrificed for these ideas in Wisconsin oppose them now in the nation? for one I shall not attempt the role. "Col. Roosevelt's character and qualifications for public office are well known. His fitness to lead the progressive movement has been submitted to the voters themselves from Maine to California and overwhelmingly approved. If the will of the people is to be the law of the land, his title to lead in this great cause is clear.". ARMY?NAVY. Army Orders. The following transfers are ordered: First Lieut.
