COTTON MARKET NERVOUS AND UNSETTLED IN TONE New York.

Sept. 19 The cotton market was extremely nervoua and unaettled again this morning. The rumors circulating yesterday with reference lo prices likely to be fixed for cotton were denied and according to private reports the question at present under consideration la that of allotlng grades of cotton rather than the price-fixing proposition. There was a fcollng In aome quarters, however, that between the large ginning figures and the talk of tower prlcea, spot offerings were becoming heavier and after opening firm at a decline of 13 points on October, but generally 6 to 23 points higher, active montna sold some 25 to so points unaer laat night's closing figures, with October touching 32.66c and January 31.80c. The market was quiet during the early afternoon, with fluctuations Irregular.

The bulges seemed to meet scattering liquidation, but otherwise there wna not much selling and prices held around 32.27c for October and 31.90c for January, or about IV to 13 points net lower. The market was firmer late In the forenoon. Nervouaneas over the price-fixing proposition had evidently subsided, while there was little evidence of southern selling after the first half hour and prices rallied on covering and trade buying. By midday October had sold up to 33.02c and January 32.15c, with the more active months workint 12 to 20 points above last closing figures. The prospect for solder weather In Oklahoma was a factor on the advance, and Japanese Interests were reported good buyers on the early decline.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON. New Orleans, Sept. 19. Claims from Washington that the fight against price fixing had been lost cost the cotton market a decline of 2.1 to 50 pointa In the first half hour of trading today. No rreat excitement prevailed at the decline and selling pressure was not severe, but there were lew Duyers.

The market reacted rather sharply on ts technical strength and went 2 to 7 olnts over yesterday's close. Support vas not sustained and at noo nthe trading nonths were 10 to 15 points off net. The market turned dull with little novement In prices. At 1 o'clock the radlng months were at a net loss of 20 25 points. NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES OPENING.

The question of wages paid to streot railway employes will soon settled if It Is presented to the war labor board, as it Is now the purpose of the new union to do. V. W. Hoover, vice-president of the Chattanooga Railway and Light com pany, tnree weeks ago addressed a communication to the war labor board in which he expressed the willingness of the company to abide by any decision which the board may make, but as yet the members of the local union have not presented their claim to the board, though It la expected that they will within a few days. Mr.

Hoover will leave tomorrow morning for Washington, where he will go to attend a meeting of the public uuiuy men or tne south, which Is to be held there. At that time the matter of wages will be brought up and It Is probable that an effort will bo made to secure a ruling on the wage scale for the street rallwav in thr. south. Should the men present their claim to the war labor board and should they have a strike, it will make them liable to the recent opinion given out by the president that all men who strike after being given a juat hearing before the war lobar board should immediately be Inducted Into the army. The following award made to the street car company In an eastern city sets out the restrictions on the employes and on the street car companies as well, and applies directly here.
