DECLINE EMBRACES
THE ENTIRE LIST
Opening ot Exchange Signal
for Another Drive
U. S. STEEL THE SUFFERER
Some of the So-Called Gilt-Edged In
dustrials Experience Material
Losses—Market Movement
Narrow—Close Steady.
New York, September ID.—The opening
of business on the stock exchange today
was the signal for another aggressive
drive against United States Steel com
mon and the Industrial list generally.
So fierce was the attack that the decline
in the prices embraced practically the
entire list and many stocks found low
levels, steel common going off a full
point. Some of the so-called gilt-edged
industrials registered severe losses, a
case In point being Westinghouse Elec
tric, which sold off over 20 points, with
a loss of almost half as much in the
preferred stock.
Other issues that bore the brunt of
the opening onslaught Included Republic
steel preferred, Sloss Sheffield, United
States Rubber preferred, and Amalga
mated copper. The railroad list also de
clined. St. Paul, Rock Island, New York
Central, Canadian Pacific, Chesapeake
and Ohio, Norfolk and Western and
Erie second preferred, all making mate
rial recessions. The break in the raiiers,
however, probably resulted from the
heavy selling of Atchison stock for a
western firm which was recently promi
nent on the buying side. The demonstra
tion against steel common was begun by
a specialist who offered the stock at
17% and then down another fraction.
Bear traders then took a hand and suc
cessfully hammered it down to 17.
The market steadied before the end of
the first hour, some support being given
to steel and other industrials. The
amount of short covering was also very ,
extensive. After a brief reaction, prices
again steadied and following the publi
cation of the bank statement gradually
improved to the close, which was steady
and moderately strong. The one favor
able feature of the statement was the
contraction of more than $4,500,000 in
loans. A survey of the wfeek on the
stock exchange shows that In most es
sentials It was a rertiltlon of the pre
vious one. The market movement was
again narC^w and always under profes
sional control, the outside demand for
stocks being too small to merit serious
consideration.
United States 2s advanced 1 per cent:
the old 4’s registered Vz per cent; and the
new 4s Vfc per cent. The old 4s coupon
declined % per cent as compared with the
closing call of last week.

COTTON IS STENDV
NT LOWER LEVEL
Some Scattered Demand Brings
About a Rally
WEATHER MAP FAVORABLE
Clearing Outlook Leans to Predictions
of Increased Movement, Which In
Turn Restricts Buying—Mar
ket Rules Fairly Quiet.
New York, September 19.—The cotton
market opened steady at unchanged
prices to 7 points lower, following lower
cables than expected, but showed con
siderable steadiness at the lower level,
and shortly after the call, rallied to
about last night's finals on the more
active months as a result of scattered
demand which was promoted by the
continued low temperatures.
Otherwise the early weather map was
favorable and the clearing weather led
to predictions of an increased movement
which in turn had a restricting effect
on buying, while the low temperatures
rendered the bears less aggressive, with
the consequence that the market ruled
comparatively quiet until after the first
half hour, when offerings increased, the
market became slightly more active and
prices eased off somewhat.
New York, September 19.—Cotton quiet;

New Orleans, September 19.—Spot cotton

The future market was quiet. Th©
opening was* barely steady with prices
from 4 to 6 points lower than the close of
yesterday. Liverpool cables were unfa
vorable. prices being lower, and much un
easiness is felt there for fear of trouble
among the Egyptian speculators, who
have been operating heavily in that mar
ket. The local market, however, had a
steady undertone. The general deterior
ation reported had the effect of offsetting
the bearish features and served to sup
port the market. In the trading the
fluctuations were numerous but of very
narrow limits. At the noon closing prices
were 3 points higher to 2 points lower
than yesterday.

Jry Goods.
New York, September 19.—Values In
dry goods remain unaltered for the most
part, but buyers are showing no more
Inclination to operate except for Imme
diate delivery and when such orders are
placed, they are of a retail character.
The Jobber locally reports considerable
diminution In his business and while
store trade Is still more or less active, It
Is still a considerable distance from the
apex, which was reached a few weeks
ago.
Baxter & Co.’s Cotton Letter.
New York. September 19.—Liverpool
went off today and the weather news from
the south was more favorable for the
crop, since the temperature was consid
erably higher, although hot high enough
to give the plant much of a start In view
of the lateness of the season. The Chron
icle was rather bullish and most of the
firms were receiving many additional re
ports of crop deterioration. The fact that
cotton Is moving so slowly appears to
disconcert some bears and the short In
terest is so big that any attempt to cover
on a large scale would bring about a
very great advance. It is dawning on
the minds of the trade generally that on’
cannot make a big crop this season under
the best conditions. Liverpool this week
lost 29.000 In her already small stocks,
which are now down to 171.000 against 305,
000 last year. Ilradstreet reports for the
week were bullish and there were no
signs or claims of any great Increase In
the movement, although Its fully due long
since. The market opened 1 to 5 points
lower on fair dealings. Some of the reports
were rather disquieting. New York weak
ened during the morning because Norfolk
and Savannah reported large receipts.
There was a substantial advance near the
close and final figures were about the
same as the opening.
Cothran g Co.’s Cotton Letter,
By Gilbert & Clay.
New Orleans. September 19.—Recent de
velopments have demonstrated beyond
question that the cotton market is not of
a temper to submit calmly to any un
favorable course of prices without a vig- I
orous struggle, and the fact has been em
phasized with pronounced distinctness
that the seller must continue assuming
the defensive In this season's combat. It
seems only a few days ago when visions
hf a mammoth yield confronted the ma
jority of traders, or at least the drift of
prices after the September bureau pub
lication Indicated that much, but simple
reference to deterioration of the crop in
some sections of the belt, supplemented by
equinoctial weather, sufficed to Interrupt
the dream In a sudden way and opposite
views are now' more freely encountered,
whereas the previous tendency was ap
parently in one direction alone. This
change In the aspect carries the imagina
tion to more remote possibilities of the
situation. Present events give rise to seri
ous doubt about farmers being over anx
ious to dispose of parly pickings, especial
ly at concessions, while reports about re
sumption of operations by various mill3
lead to the impression that cotton will be
sought in liberal quantity without much
further delay. Under such circumstances
It seems distinctly safer for the present
to follow the policy of buying on easy
periods of the market. There is no tell
ing how much crop deterioration the Octo
her bureau report will signify and even
the spectre of frost Is destined to exer
cise an unprecedented Influence on values.
