NEW YORK EXPERT
 REVIEWS SITUATION IN FINANCIAL WORLD
Cotton Market Brightens While Leading Financiers Differ As To Practical Value of the Buy-a-Bale Carhpaign.

(The Baron Financial News Service)
 New York. Sept. 26.-In banking circles much encouragement ifs felt over the fact that the cotton situation has shown distinct signs of improve ment in the past few days. The sup ply of cotton bills is increasing from day to day. and further testirn or1y to the change in conditions is furnished by the figures of exports, which show a gradual though small increase, and by the largely increased receipts at the ports. Opinion regarding the ef- dcacy of the fb1y-a-baIe raove1ne ent is conflicting. Some local banking in terests hold that the movement is neither business, nor yet practical charity. It is maintained by many that the government can hardly be designated as charity, since it was not inaugurated to help only the poorer class of cotton raiser, but for the ben eft of all producers, most of whom, it is charged, are in comfortable cir cumStanceS. Notwithstanding this view, it is evident that the movement is meeting with general popular fa,- vor and encouragernent in all sections of the country. The scheme is. meet ing the endorsement of many people because they believe it will help pre- serve the purchasing power of the south. which is a factor of no mean importance in the country's business.
 The receivers of the International Steam Pump Go, have sold $5OO,00O receivers certificates running one year to banking institutions which are creditors of the company. The last months business done by the company is understood to have been of satis- factory volume. J.N. Haggin has been elected a member of the stock4 holders protective committee, suc- ceeding his father, the late James B. Hagg1n. The. bondho1derB protective committee has already received on de- posit more than a majority of the bonds.
 The Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad has not started out in the current year auspiciously enough to warrant any belief that earnings will allow a. basis for effecting reorganization, even if the necessary reorganization cash could be raised. For July and August gross revenues show a de- crease of $516,00O, or 33 per cent, as compared with the same two months of 1913; and as compared with the same two months of 1912, the de- crease is $461, ,0OO, or 80 per cent. The net, showing was equally unsafisfac- tory, for after spending half as much on maintenance of way and structures as in 1913, and only two-thirds as much on equipment, net revenues howed a decrease of $128.80S, or 2o.72 per cent-,' as compared with 1913;g and s2S6, ,76s. or 50s4 per cent. as compared with 1912.
 Bond issues vary considerably in their testimony as to the state Of bust
