the close Monday prices showed an
advance Of almost 100 points, or

fises in the history Of the staple.
Tuesday the market was at it's high
est, prices standing 1873 to 141 points
over the previous weeks close and
all months reaching new high levels
for the season. From then on, the
market showed a tendency to react
the close being at a net gain Of Sc to

The government reports on condi-
ton and ginning helped the market
Monday, but the cold wave later in
tho week had no bullish effect.
This week the bear element ex-
poets to see the reaction carried fur
ther but bulls are relying upon ad-
verse weather and crop reports to Off

affected by the damage done by the

railways recorded their best quotations for
year more.
United States Steel led the list as usual,
smaller. It rose a point to S1A which
equals its high quotation Of recent years:
The September tonnage statement issued
after the close of the market disclosed an
increase of more than 100000 tons in un
filled orders over the preceding month.
Bethlehem Steel recovered five points of
yesterdays setback at 445, and pronounced
strength was evinced by American Smelt-

came principally from the long side.
