PRICE MOVEMENT IS
IRREGULAR IN NEW
YORK COTTON MART
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—Fluctuations wen
much lees violent and the volufns of bust*
ness smaller In the cotton market today.
The tone showed continued nervousness and
the price movement was irregular with
December advancing from 20.06 to 20.lt and
coining at 20.11 as compared with 20.20,
yesterday's closing figure. The general list
closed steady with September 6 points high
er. Other months shewed net declines ol
from 2 to 12 points.
The market opened at a decline ef 2 to
IS points under a continuation of the selllni
movement, which had been In progress at
the close yesterday. There was bearish
comment bated on the week-end flgurei
and favorable weekly crop reviews, 'and
there were reports that domestic mills wen
showing no disposition to provide for future
requirements of raw material. Reporta that
shipping had been attacked off the New
England coast by a submarine may also
have been a factor on the opening break,
but the market aoon„ became firmer on'storm
news. •*
Ths rslns reported at points along th«
south Atlantic coast (were thought likely tc
work Inland, and another disturbance wa*
noted In the Caribbean Sea. Apprehension
| that 'this later disturbance might develop
I threateningly between now and Mondky
morning, .stimulated the covering movement
which sent October centracts up to 20.86
and January to 20.21, with the general list
selling 16 to 19 points net higher. The of
I ficlal eastern belt foercast was more favor
able than expected, allaying storm appre
hensions to some extent, and late ^fluctua
tions were very Irregular with last "prices
showing reactions of some 17 to 26 point*)
from the beet.
Reports* from Fall River said increased
curtailment In the production of goods was
expected this winter If women could not
be fouQd to replace male labor. Continued
activity la reported In mills having govern
ment orders.
LONDON SCHEME
TO REOPEN COTTON
FUTURES MARKET
LONDON. Sept. 15.—The control board
has placed before the British Board «%f Trade
for approval a scheme for the re-opening of
the cotton futures market, according to tho
correspondent at Manchester of The London
Times. If the suggestion is adopted dealings
I In futures will commence October 1, without
drastic limitations In all the months from
January to August. The basts will be good
middling Instead of mlddlln^end no tenders
will be allowed.
Weil Brothers’ letter
Montgomery. Ala., Sept. 16, 1917.
During the first half of September the cot
ton plant has deteriorated, and the outlook
for the crop Is not near as bright. It Is
evident that the good prospeota obtaining
about the first of Sgpember were either
over-estimated, which Is very likely, or else
the damage has been greater than antici
pated, and that In spits'of the fact that
theoretically the weather has been favorable.
During the- ripening stage the plant al
ways undergoes a certain amount of de
terioration. especially during September, but
ths setback to ths condition of the present
crop has been rathe* abnormal than normal.
The direct cause may be traced to the fact
that the plant lacks vigor and proper fertili
sation. The exhaustion that usually takes
place gradually came more In the nature of
a coilapaa. In ths boll weevil districts con
ditions afe still more aggravated. These
conditions prevail in nearly the entire ter
ritory extending east Of the Mississippi.
In our own 8tate, Alabama, the cutting
down of the acreage is more noticeable now.
since the gathering of the crop, than it wan
heretofore, and although crop conditions are
much better than last year, the acreage is
so small that we doubt very much whether
there will be much Increase In the total
f tciUi iv/iii(faicu n iiu ia^i ocanu 11.
All our reports* from Mississippi. Alabama
and Georgia, with few exceptions, state that
there will be< little. If any, i top crop; the
absence of which Is not entirely attributed
to the ravages of the boll weevil, but be
cause the plant Is simply not taking on
fruit; It has stopped.
Picking Is In full progress In the central
and southern portions asid will soon be In
the northern portions of the cotton States.
Selling by farmers haa been quite free, up
ten days ago; since then, owing to the
t.t-cline In price, the holding movement has
started, and although the prices of October
quotations In New York and December quo
tations In New York are freely offered by
buyers for middling In the South, very lit
tle can be bought. To buy cotton In the
South and deliver on October contracts In
New York woul£ entail a lots of one cent a
pound. Meantime the demand Is largely In
excess of the supply, and the demand Is from
all sources. Naturally cotton merchants
sell, but Instead of buying spots, they cover
j by purchase of contract.

The New Orleans report, summarised. Is
as follows: ’
The market at the start this morning
seemed a clear case of politics and weather.
It wanted to advance on bullish weather
conditions and prospects over Sunday, but
the unfavorable foreign4 news encouraged
bearish feeling in New York, and a very
disappointing opening there caused a further
depression here In the early period of to
day’s session. The news which formed the
center of bearish attention, According to New
York advices, was the preee dispatch from
Petrograd. saying: “Kerenaky 1q difficult
position and may be forced to resign
Premiership; Kornltoff not yet surrendered.
A Vienna dispatch says: “Reply of cen
tral powers to the Pope hlnte at^ peace
parleys with definite terme lacking.”
W'eather map shows fair central and
south'Texas, cloudy rest of the belt, heavy
rains northwest Texas, heavy rains on the
east Gulf Coast and the Carolines. ;
The storm over South Florida moved west- |
ward Into the Gulf, causing high winds and j
rain here last night, end Is now moving on
South Texas. Washington advices say an- |
other storm on the Georgla-Carollna coast |
and one In the process of formation In tne |
South Atlantlcs. Everything points to un
settled weather over Sunday with probably
an abundance of rainfall.
Spots are firm, no evidence of pressure.

DOWNWARD SWING
IN CORN PRICES IS
FEATURE AT CHICAGO
CHICAGO, Sept 16.—Nearly Ideal weather
and Increase of rural offerings furnished
much of the impetus today for a decided
downward swing which took place la values
of corn. The market closed heavy 1% to
214 cents net lower at 61.16% to 81-16 %•'
December and 61-14% to 9L14%, May.
Oats finished % to 1 % cents off. Provisions
gained 10 to 46 cents.
High temperatures prevailed over all lm-1
portant corn States and thyre was no rain
of consequence. The fact that such condi
tions were Just the kind for ripening the
crop made an instant impression on traders.
Bearish sentlmeht deepened after the Is
suance of the government weekly forecast
Indicating generally fair weather and
seasonable warmth for the neat three or
four days. Weakness In the cgah market*
was likewise In favor of the bears, and all
the more so as the accompanying enlarge
ment of country offerings to arrive had
been in response to bids from here which
were 6 per cent lower than yesterday. Con
tinusd peace gossip together with reports
that a German submarine wee operating off
the New England* coast, tended further to
handicap the bulls. No important reaction
developed, and the market closed at almost:
he lowest point of the day.
Oats weakened1 with corn. S^board ad-:
vices Implied that yesterday's export sales
exceeded 1,000.000 bushels, but this clrcum
stance failed to count In the absence of '
any fresh demand from the east. Besides,
predictions of larger receipts were current.
Milling orders for wheat here continued:
to be far In excess of arrivals. The total
receipts for the week hr Chicago will only j
be about one-third of the amount of the:
corresponding time last year. Other domes- I
tic terminals also reported a decided short- ;
age. At Winnipeg, however, receipts sur- j
passed to a liberal extent the figures of i
1916. i
Bullish ostlmates of the amount of recept ■
purchasing ,for Belgium gave strength to
provisions. Another element of firmness
was an expected scarcity of hog supplies
here next week.

COFFEE MARKET
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-—The market for
ooffee futures showed no fresh feature to
day. The reports concerning support from
the Brazilian government In producing mar
Wets apparently failed to stimulate Interest
around the ring here, and after opening 1
to 2 points lower, active months sold about
S to I ponlts under last night's closing fig
ures, with December touching 7.51 and May
7.tO. The light offerings were attributed
partly to the trade and were associated
also with talk of^an easier tone In the cost
and freight market, but sales for tho day
were only 7.750 begs. Tlie close was 2 to f
points net lower. Closing bide;
Spot coffee quiet; Hlo 7a, tc; Santos 4s,
10c. No change was reported In cost and
freight. The official cables showed no
charge In Brazilian markets, except Santos
futures, which were unchanged to 50 rels
higher. Rio exchange on London was l.lCd
lower. Brazilian port receipts 69,000 bags;
Jundiahy 43,000 bags. Fine weathsr was
Reported In all dlstVlcts of Sao Paulo, with
temperatures of It to tt degrees.
