PATTEN BULLING COTTON.
Wheat Pit Leader Says Staple Must.
Go Up-Supply is Very Short.

New York. Sept. 23.-James A.
Patten, who cornered the wheat mar =
ket in Chicago, today is in New York;
buying cotton. Somebody asketiE Mr..
Patten if he were selling the staple.
Selling cotton?" he repeated. ''No.
L am here in big bull pool. We are
buying cotton, and we are buying ir
because we think it is bound to 60
up. There is a short crop and the de-,
mand is sure to be heavy. I think
that cotton is going to rise to, II
cents on this bulge. To tels the
truth. 1 wouldn't be surprised If ii
were to go as high as 20 cents"
Somebody reminded Mr.. Patten-
that he went into the wheat market
under similar circumstances.
Eyes. That's right" he said M
Patten had reasons to back up his
belief that cotton is going to keep ON
rising.
The tariff on wooden goods f.
bound to have a big effect on cotton,
he said. Men are going to use more
cotton for different purposes. Auto
mobile tires use up $4,000 bales q
year alone.
Cotton sells on it's merits and the.
aGnual consumption of wheat in
creases. People are getting eady 10,
buy more clothes this year. Thew,
have more money to spend and the.
trade in cotton goods is bound to feer
the general prosperity"
The pool in which Mr.. Patten ia.
interested is said to consist of abous
million bales.

Mr.. Hagood referring to the banks
transmittal book. explained that the
date on which the draft was sent
from here, the 18th of September.
and the defense. he argued, connected
this draft for $1,125 with the cash.
entry in the Consumers Beer Rot
Ting Establishment. That the draft
could not have left here on the 18th
and reach Charleston on the same
day and be entered on the banks book
the very day.
This point was pressed strongly by
the defense. The amounts charged
up to Farnum for due bills. etc. WAS
also dated the 18th of September.
There seemed here to be some lapse

argument, counsel again attacked the
character of the States star witness

branding him as "self-confcssed

room was taken today by Attorney
General Lyon. AS is we'll known Mr..
Lyon has been very active i'm the
bringing together Of evidence i'm the
alleged graft cases. He was on the
original investigating committee of
the legislature, and ever since that
time he has been busy in pushing the
prosecution of the men who were CON
nected with the State dispensarv in
1906.
In closing the States argument Mr.
Lyon addressed himself to the closing
feature of Mr.. Hagood's argument as
TO the draft. Counsel claimed that

Wall Street.

New York, Oct. 4.-The stock mar
ket developed uneven strength after a
weak start today but the activity
dwindled under the influence of the
sustained firmness of the call money
rate. Call money touched AZ per
cent, Fridays high rate, early in the
afternoon. A gradual recession from
the rate due to the periodical money
requirements of the first of october is
looked for ordinarily.
The weekly bank statement, pub
lished after Saturdays close, offers
the occasion for the conservative at
titude of lenders. The surplus reserve
of the banks is down to the vanishing
point and the forces of depletion of
cash are still at work.. The sub treas
ury starts the week with a requisition
upon the banks for $1,763, 600 n
has not q credit balance at the clear
ing house this month.
Foreign discount markets showed
more of the effect of the relaxation
after the october l requirements, the
private discount rate receding a frac-
ton in Berlin. Russia took the $1,000
GOO gold available in London today
following the 5000, 900 shipped from
there to Egypt Saturday.
The government report on condition
of cotton offered small prospect for
an increase of exchange from port of
that commodity, the condition a low
record percentage for the season of
the year.
The principal stock market IN
fluence which contended with the re-
straint of the money position was the
determined advance in United States
steel. After opening down a point
under the influence of selling from
London that stock started up again
and narrowed its distance from par
to only a shade more han five points.
There was a noticeable tendency to
look for other reasons tina expanding
earnings for the extraordinary rise in
steel and vcraious stories were tfloat of
a coming bonus to be turned back to
stockholders out of the sums diverted
from earnings into the Gary plant,
1t was rumored also that the company
had purchased a million of it's own
shares in the market as it is privi-
legged to do under its charter repre-
scnting an outlay of some $6O,00O,-
600.
These reports and others similar re-
ceived no official c~ountenance and the
reliance placed on them caused some
feeling of distrust of the general spec
ulative position.
New York Central was another
conspicuous point of strength feeling
the good effect of large increase in
August earnings ana the reports OF
the enormous car movement over the
system during September. Closing
