There was an increase of more than 10
per cent in the supply of raw cotton in
the United States during the cotton year
which ended August 81. 1911 according
to the census bureaus preliminary report
on the supply and distribution of cotton
issued today. The supply amounted to
l3,6oo,i19 bales, compared with 12ISSOal
bales for the previous year. when there
was decrease of 20 per cent from that
available in 1909
Notwithstanding this increase in the to-
tai supply. the consumption of .cotton in
the United States showed a decrease of
slightly more than per cent over last
year. and was the smallest CONSUMPTION
during the past three years, it being
4,696, $40 bales.
Ii was said semi-officially that the high
price of raw cotton during the year was
principally the cause for the decrea sed
consumption. This consumption during
the year was larger in the cotton-erow-
ing states than the previous year. while
in all other states ii was smaller
During the cotton year the exnorts were
- per cent greater than during 1910. the
amount being 7,7S1.414 bales. compared
with 6.:si3.02S bales a year ago The wear
was fourth largest in the history of the
export trade
The net imports increased more than
- per cent, the total amount, 231. 1871
bales. beng greater than any year in the
history OF the industry.

NEW YORK, September 26.-The

Within a few minutes it fell TO a. the
preferred stock also declined IA to loiA.
The weakness of Union Pacific was
even more pronounced. Dropping half
point between sales, it sold soon after the
opening at l55is loss of us. Amalga-
mated Copper, Copper and American
Smelling lost a point each. Elsewhere
the market held fairly steady. Frac-
tional losses were the rule, with the eX-
ception of Northern Pacific, which lost

After the first outburst of selling had
spent itself the character of the market
changed y heavy demand appeared and
stocks moved upward buoyantly. Buying

was bought in lots of several thousand

Short Covering Noticed.

The market showed the influence of
an increased demand for issues which
had been forced downward during the
past week. After another outburst of
liquidation at the opening the market
rallied swiftly, and despite frequent
attempts to depress the list subse-
quently it held we'll above the low
point through the morning. The
source of demand was a matter of de-
bate. Apparently short coverings was
proceeding on a large scale. the in
fluence OF this buying being supple
mented by supporting orders when
needed.
Attorney General Wickersham's state
ment In regard to the enforcement of the
antitrust law did not relieve the situa-
ton as had been hoped. 1t contained no
answer to the one question which is up
permost. concerning the fate of the United
States Steel Corporation, and specula tive
sentiment today was as thoroughly con-
fused as before. Prices f1uctuated in a
nervous manner during the second hour,
the violence of the rally affording hand
some profits to early purchasers, who
realized freely.

self is a sort of newspaper man, Ur.
rather, magazine man, having been
editor of Book Chat, Current Litera-

lications. He has also had time to
write various books on the way mar

individuality, on mental training and
generally on how to live and be good.
From all of the above 1t may be
cleaned that Mr.. Jordan is a thinker
and that he is not afraid of work. He
has been laboring five years or more
on this house of governors plan and is
just now beholding it take form. If
his program is followed the body will
soon have a building of its own, with
a fine library and force of men sutti
cient to gather, tabulate and send out
information telling each state just
what all the other states are doing.
Thus if any governor contemplates
prying loose the grafters he will have
at his elbow the methods used by 9th.

success or lack of success attending
