RAW. SUGAR PRICES
 CLIMB UPWARD

New York, September 6.-The raw sugar market was very strong and excited to- day and prices scored an advance of 20 points, one of the largest individual ad- vances made in years and at the same time new records were established both here and abroad. Sales of centrifugal were made on the basis of 5.5 per cent against 5.3 per cent, the closing quota ton of last week. Very little sugar was offered at these figures and some offers were made at 10 points above. The strength was due to reiteration of bad crop news. Refiners in the independent field marked up refined quotations from 10 to 15 points per 100 pounds, or 645c to 6.50c for standard granulated.

Wet Weather in Northwest and RussiOn Conditions
 Are Factors

The close was to 1ssc higher than last night Corn showed a net gain of ss01ac to 1ac, and oats rise of 140ssc to ss01kc. The outcome in hog products was 21sc off to 59715c up.
 Wheat was bullishly affected not only by the rains in the northwest, but on in that section tonight and tomorrow. Besides, there were reports of frost across the line in Saskatchewan. As for Russia, word came that 40 per cent of the Rus sian crop is still In the fields, and that rains were lowering the quality of the grain to a serious extent. The region named Is one of the few important dis large yield this season. An advance in prices at Berlin further inclined traders here to takesthe bull side. and was at tributed in part to the uneasy feeling over political issues between France and Germany. Moreover, there were reports of large flour sales both to Europe and the orient. At no time during the day was there any decided setback in prices December ranged from 959sc to 9624c, and closed firm, 11s@1Ac up at 96ss@96Nc.
 Reports that Liverpool was again buy ing corn helped to strengthen that cereal. It was also asserted Minneapolis had sold corn for shipment to Denver. Decem- Der fluctuated between 63Ac and 641ac, closing at 64Ac, net gain of 1kc.
 Cash grades were in fair demand No 2 yellow. 6sA@6s%c.
 Oats followed the upward trail with corn and wheat. Some. of the largest longs sold on the bulge, but the property was readily absorbed. High and low points for December proved to be 46ssc and 457sc, with the close 14@9sc net higher at 46Ac.
 Notwithstanding a fairly good demand from commission houses, the market for hog products was unsettled, chiefly be- cause of selling pressure from Milwaukee packers. In the end pork was 21ac off to Sc up; lard the same as last to 5071Ac advance. and ribs unchanged to an in- crease of PFC in cost.

MORRIS AVENUE
 SRATHER QUIET Fowl Is Getting to Be More Plentiful, But Prices /
 Are Climbing

Arrivals on Morris avenue were not very extensive yesterday. The fire which occurred Wednesday morning and the unreasonable heat had ten dency to depress business, yet a nor mal trade was witnessed
 Fowl Is getting to be more plentiful on the thoroughfarea The demand is on an increase ana prices are still climbing. Hens are offered at 13 cents straight, while flyers hold good at IS cents per pound. On account of the growing demand in the egg market the merchants have advanced the quo- tation to 24 cents per dozen, and it is probable that 25 cents will be the prevalent price before the week comes to a close.

STOCKS RECOVERY
 CARRIED FURTHER
Movement Less Vigorous, But Broader Than Day
 Before

New York, September 6.-The recovery on stocks was carried further today' The movement was less vigorous than yes terday and gains among the important issues were smaller but their improve ment was broader, extending to many Of the semi-active railroad and industrial stocks. Stocks were not pressed Tor sale' on the contrary offerings were scarce eX- cept at higher, prices.
 There were again signs of nervousness on the bear side Covering of short con tracts was perhaps the most important influence in bringing about the advance, but there appeared to be greater activity on the long side of the market. So far as is known the chief financial agents are not investing heavily. The public, however Is still withholding it's patron age. the lower scale of prices not having led to extensive investment buying SIn line with the course of stocks was the increased activity in the bond mar ket. Transactions in listed bonds were considerably larger and private sales also were reported as having become heavier. Today bond dealers reported that the inquiry was more active in this depart ment and that they found increased dif- ficulty in filling orders except at advanc- ing prices.
 The stagnation which prevailed in the investment market last month was shown by the output of new railroad and indus trial securities in August which fell to $51,516000 as compared with $129,912,000 in July and s23S, 397, 600 in June. The railroad offerings amounted to the abnormally the total for the corresponding month of 1910.
 The higher level of stocks established on the early trading was maintained most of the day. There was an increase in selling late in the afternoon and prices declined somewhat although not to such an extent as to disturb the more bul1ish feeling. The selling converged on United States Steel, one block of 35.2oO shares being disposed of. The price of this stock fell back nearly a point, but large part of the days gain elsewhere were re- tained.
 Following the many reports of slacken- ing trade activity, today's estimate of the countries iron output on August, showing a gain of 13S,0c0 tons was regarded as of especially favorable import. Moreover the daily producing capacity in September was larger than the August average.
 Bonds were firm with speculative n- terest centering in Iterboro 41ad and American tobacco issue. Total sales par value, s3,0190OO. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

COTTON MARKET HAS STRONG TONE Higher Prices Reached a Few Minutes Before
 Close

New York, September 6.--Perslstent strength was shown by the cotton mar ket throughout the day, although high CT prices were not reached until with In a few minutes of the close The latter was to 10 points higher than the previous night. l
 The market opened steady at to 8 points decline under sudden weak ness in Liverpool after early strength in that market. Because of good many bullish crop reports from the southwest, however, offerings here were not large, coming mostly from the south and from Liverpool during the first hour. Throughout the middle of the day trade was very light notwithstand- ing which the undertone continued firm, but toward the close there was marked increase of speculative trade and sharp upturn, due to reports of a good demand for spot cotton for early September shipment. on which num- Der of big uptown short interests were covered. This inquiry for spot cotton directly contradicted earlier reports on the subject which said that there was little demand for forward shipment and that the south would likely experience considerable difficulty In marketing its cotton around the present level of prices. It was contended by the bears. however, that once this early demand was satisfied the pressure of actual cot. ton later In the month would be felt in the market. Besides the bullish crop news. which consisted mostly of com plaints about damage of worms and boil weevil in central sections and of excessive rains In the east, bear op- erations were checked by apprehen- sions concerning another tropical storm said to be located in the West Indies. Spot houses here bought early in the day but there was not much actual bull support, the market relying chiefly on the covering movement and very light offerings.
 Receipts, 24,201 bales, against 33,- 679 last week and 16,441 last year. For the week, 175,000 bales, against 179,270 last week. and 94,746 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 1296 bales, against 1SS last year, and at Houston, 13,477 bales. against 7235 last year.

Hubbard & Co.'s Letter

New York, September 6.-(Special)- Liverpool did not fully respond to our decline yesterday, and. in fact. has been rather strongest of all the markets dur ing the last few days, being somewhat above the ruling parties of the past month. There has been demand for immediate shipment to the mills, whose supplies were reduced by the strike, which in itself was a new factor.
 A slight decline at the opening was soon recovered. and the market slowly advanced some 10 points closing at the best prices ,on a day of very small transactions. The trade look for a better market in Liverpool tomorrow.
 Crop accounts are on the whole more favorable, as a result of clear weather following the rains of the last fortnight in the southwest. It is understood advance information points to a very heavy ginning in process throughout the south.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, September 6.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at a decline of 4 to points. Cables were about as due but local professional operators were dis posed to put out fresh short lines.

Selling was based chiefly on the foreign political situation. At the end of the first hour of business prices were to points under yesterdays close
 Buying on bad crop news increased the decline and gradually gave the mar ket an advancing tendency. The weekly weather reports were generally accepted as bullish, and as not indicating the inn provement that it was expected would take place in crop conditions.
