STRONG GAINS AT
OPENING ARE NOT
WELL MAINTAINEL
NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—Strong gains maili
in the cotton market during the early par'
or the day, whan October sold up to 20.0(
and December to 20.75, representing 60 to 4!
point net .advance, were jiot entirely main
tained because of realizing near the clone
Inspired by disquieting Russian news, and
final .prices wero 44 to 53 points net higher
There was a good deal of Liverpool buyini
after the opening, which was partly sup
plied by large sales credited to Western ac
counts. In addition a covering movement ol
*ar** volume took place. Impelled by low
temperatures over the belt, notably the
Sputhwest and by a government storm warn
ing from the Caribbean Sea.
The opening was steady at an advance of
16 to 23 points. According to a well known
Southern authority, condition figures showed
a decline of 4.56 points for the full month
last year. This was considered quite bull
ish and helped strengthen the early market.
Advices from the South were somewhat con
flicting, tho^e from Texas representing a
good spot demand on a higher basis, while
others, from the Eastern belt, said the de
mand was temporary to cover September
shorts, and that exporters Were buying very
sparingly, with the movement increasing.
October contracts, because of an embargo
on shipments from Galveston to New York,
and the small stock of cotton here available
for delivery, wore relatively strong through
out the day. The forecast Indicated rising
temperatures in the Southwest and led to
some selling on the mid-day bulge, although
the cotton seemed to be well taken and the
market throughout the day had a steady
undertone. *
N. 0. COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. LA., Sept. Il — An ad
vanclng tendancy was again displayed by
cotton here today, prlcaa standing Is a bale
up at the beat levels of the session. Re
ports of crop deterioration were the main
factor, f Increasing the disposition to buy
wars accounts of continued Improvement In
the apot demand and tha warnings regard
ing the tropical dlaturbanca In the Carib
bean see.
The opening was at tha advanca and
earlier trading prices Improved about 40
points. A feature was a private bureau
report on condition showing a loss of 4.5
points since the last government report car
rying the crop down to August 25. The
rains In Texas were considered unfavorable
and low temperatures over the belt gen
erally caused nervousness of the shorts, but
because It was feared thta presaaed an
early froat.
With several minor netbacks the advance
was gradually widened until In the early
afternoon the mont active months were 69
to 65 points up. Realizing- by early buyers
pared the gain down somewhat toward the
end, closing prices showing a net rise of
41 to 45 points.'

, SELLING ON SOFT
I SPOTS NOTICEABLE
FEATURE OF DA\
\ NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—The course of tht
I stock market was governed largely today bj
* the pronounced weakness of a comparative*
ly small group of specialties and low priced
railroad shares. Speculative sentiment ap
peared to be confused and In the absenci
or new factors of material Influence th«
operations disclosed no well developed Initia
tive. The uncovering on a comparative!)
small amount of selling of a few soft apotf
accordingly was sufficient to lmpross th«
whole market #and It eased off gradually,
At the outset a cheerful tone prevailed and
there were appearances of short covering,
l This tendency disappeared, however, when
, ** become apparent that the demand wa*
light and the market was sensitive to pres
sure. Early gains amounting to a'point ot
more in the caaas of various representative
Issues were lost and In the afternoon a gen
eral downward trend developed.
Th motor and motor accessories stocks
w-ere especially heavy. Qeneral Motors wat
sold steadily and lost more than 7 points,
only a small part of which was recovered,
Maxwell. Studebaker, Chandler. Rubber and
Ooodrlch broke sharply. Pullman continued
Its decline and marked weakness appeared
In Sears Roebuck and Agricultural Chemical.
In the railroad list the weak point was
again New Haven, which slumped 3 points
to a new low record of 21 to.
I The drop In rubles continued today and
under the Influence of the disturbed politi
cal situation in Russia .and the complete
absence of demand thu sharpest break of
the movement occurred.
The rate fell 2 cents to a new low record
at 13 Vi. On the curb Russian fVi per cent
bonds broke 3 points to a new low at *75
and the 5Vis fell 3 to •«.
Somewhat easier conditions prevailed In
the money market. Call money did not rise
about 6 per cent, and time funds were
loaned at 5 Vi for all dates.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales (par
value) <3,850,000.
Liberty bonds were easier, selling from
98.96 down to 99.86.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.

I SHEPARD & GLUCK
(Over Shepard A Gluck’* Private Wire.)
NEW ORLEANS, LA.. Sept. 11.—Continued
firmness was displayed by cotton today,
moderate buying service to pull prices up for
a rise of fS.a bale or more. Cotton is go
ing higher quite as easily as it recently de
clined. Crop deterioration is the main bull
ish Influence now at work. There Is an
entire absence of excitement or undue bull
ish speculative* feeling which speaks for a
good foundation for the present upward
movement.
• The report that the National Glnncra’ As
sociation was out with condition figures
showing a loss of 4.5 points since the last
government report was a feature of Impor
tance. It was confirmed by private reports
from hei% and there over the belt, telling
of a valety of Ills befalling the plant. Prom
all Indications tomorrow’s weekly reports
from the government will be cast along un
favorable lines.
Back of the unfavorable crop accounts
were the continued 'warnings from the
weather bureau regarding the tropical dis
turbances In the Caribbean sea. The storm
or storms, there appear to be taking the
bourse which lands such disturbances In the
Gulf of Mexico. Once they are In that body
of water there is no 'telling where they will
stretch. Shorts are nervous on this score
and a warning for the belt Itself would un
doubtedly cause much covering.
Opening at the advance the market grad
ually did better with many minor setbacks,
until In the early afternoon the most active
months stood at a rise of 69 to 65 points.

to 5 points above the previous close. Trad

bullish construction as It was expected to
bring about a more active spot demand.
There was a fair outside demand for tfie
late positions, but trade Interests sold and
