FURTHER B|G GAINS
 IN COTTON PRICES
Excited Demand From Wall Street and Commission
 Houses Cause of Rise

New York September 27.-There was la renewal of the active general buying movement in the cotton market here to- day and a further big advance in prices, with January contracts selling up to 12.54. or s3.20 per bale above the clos ing price Of Saturday, and s17s0 per bale above the low level of last July. Heavy realizing was encountered at times during the day. particularly when the market first reached the 121s cent level for January contracts. but all of ferings were readily absorbed and the close was strong within or points of the best at a net advance of s2 to A points.
 The market opened firm at an ad vance of 16 to 20 points and before there was any substantial check sold about 27 to S7 points net higher on an excited demand from Wall street south ern and general commission house sources. Firmness in Liverpool, bullish southern spot and trade advices, and talk of very low crop condition figures were all factors on the advance, but there was naturally a good deal of profit taking which resulted in reactions of some g to 10 points during the middle of the day. Reports that the gulf storm
 
 Cuba was moving nothward and rumors that Chicago interest was about to publish cotton report making the condition only sos per cent against 69.S last month were followed by re- newal of aggressive general buying during the afternoon however and prices reached the best point of the day in the late trading when October sold at 11.9Sc. December l2.sSc, and March l2.slc. or 40 to 45 points above Satur- day. The southern hedge selling which was reported rather heavy on Saturday was little in evidence during the day, while the south was credited with buy ing freely here through commission houses and better demand was re- ported from domestic spinners. who were said to be hedging against part of their forward requirements. Exports today were 2s,744 bales, against 464,7e6 so far this season. Port receipts, 48,3ss. United States ports stocks, 962,6e1

Charles Fairchild & Co.'S Letter

New York, September 27.-The cotton
 market again today worked to new high
 levels. The public ignored the possibility of sharp advance at the opening and
 bought freely. Sold out bulls and those
 who had taken the short side Saturday for
 turn followed suit Hesitation was shown at times. but in the closing hour new highs were reached. While it can be said that the advance of 1G0 points, or s per bale, since Monday last September 20. to a large extent discounts very low government condition figure on October 2 at il a. m.. the fact remains that the public seems convinced that 15-cent cotton Is inevitable and in view of the unprece- dented prosperity at present existing in America 1t would seem difficult to check the upward tendency of cotton before a
 material further advance is scored. How ever, while feeling that the outlook war rants much higher prices ultimately, we
 hesitate advising purchases at present
 levels believing conservative buying on
 moderate declines the proper policy. We have been and are still firm believ-
 CTS in very much higher prices for cotton seed oil futures. Trade and speculative
 interests is noticeably increasing in this direction.

NEW HIGH LEVELS
 FOR COTTON PRICES Volume of Business Largest Yesterday Since the Bull
 Campaign Started

New Orleans. September 27-Buying by the bull element forced cotton prices to rev high levels for the season on the local market again today The market teid its strength throughout and closed at the highest, net rise of 42 to 5l points. It was was broad and active market from the start and the volume 'of business, transacted made it one of the largest days since the bull campaign started
 The reported victories by the allies, which caused Liverpool to stand much higher than due when the American mar kets opened were regarded by the bulls as important and led to much buying. Gossip said that large part of the orders came from sold out bulls. This element last week thought reaction was due. Higher spot markets in the south generally. rise of ss points on local spots. continued unfavorable crop ac- counts and the report by southern news paper that the crop was half picked. were bullish features which kept the buy ing orders pouring in. Offerings at times were scanty; there was very little short selling and the demand for the most part was supplied by longs who were satis- fled to take profits and get out of their contracts.
 The market in the early trading rose "A to 36 points; by noon prices were about 35 points up. the whole list considered. and in the afternoon, after the quoting of spots, the market went to its highest.

Coffee Market

New York. September 27.-The mar ket for coffee futures opened steady at an advance of to points on . little covering after the decline of date last week. but there was very little support in evidence, and prices later eased off under some scattered liqui- dation or a little selling by southern trade interests. The close was 1 point higher for September but generally 2 to { points net lower. A good part of the business represented exchanges of December to later months.

Hubbard Bros. & Cos Letter

New York, September N-(Special.) ) Liverpool was higher than due this morn ing, and our market opened at a sharp advance which continued until Januarv had sold over 12.5Oc. The war news was such as to lead to some feeling that the end of the war might possibly be nearer than had been expected. Moreover, q gulf storm was reported off the western coat of Cuba. and while its future course is very uncertain. the possibility of more bad weatherj south attracted consider- able attention. On the advance. Liver pool was heavy seller, and as these sales continued during the afternoon. 1t Is to be presumed they represent the hedging of purchases made today in the south. which hedges would naturally be sold in the higher market. In wew of exchange and freight conditions the American markets are now relatively high. as compared with Liverpool. The outside demand is large and appeared to come from the west also. 70 that profit taking sales were rather easily absorbed. We think it will be best to consider conditions at the moment rather than to be carried away with the present en- thusiasm.

WHEAT DECLINES ON
 WEATHER REPORTS
Heavy Arrivals of Wheat at Various Markets Cause
 a Drop in Prices

Chicago. September 27.--Wheat prices declined today. rendered heavy by the largest receipts so far this season in the American and Canadian northwest. Although unsettled at the close. quota tlons were i4dsi4c net lower with De- cember at aic and May at e6s.c. Corn finished A9s4c down and oats off i41itG ssc. but provisions up 5disoc.
 Total fresh arrivals of wheat today at the various markets in North America, were estimated at s.ooo.ooo bushels. In this connection 1t was said that rural elevators in the northwestern states now held 20,ooo. 900 bushels. sufficient supply to furnish for sometime liberal receipts at the leading spring crop terminals. Nevertheless. except in the September op- ton here. the depression of values was less pronounced than might have been looked for, the fact being that the ac- cumulation of stocks at big centers was not yet up to what a majority of traders appeared to expect As a result. the May and July deliveries although finally giv- ing way, held for considerable interval at moderate advance over Saturday nights level.
 Wet weather and forecast of more tended somewhat to make the wheat bulls stubborn. Besides a fair export demand was evident at the seaboard. Mediterranean countries, in particular, were represented as having purchased flour with freedom thut was quite un- usual.
 Corn. like wheat was bearishly affect cd by enlarged receipts. Cool tempera- lures appeared to be more or less offset by reports of Argentine shipments reach ing New York in excellent condition
 In oats the smallness of offerings seemed to make prices relatively steady as compared with the quotations of other grain. Eastern demand was fair.
 Investment buying on the part of pack CTS and their followers more than coun- teracted In the provishion market the ef- feet of the New York embargo against shipments of live stock from Chicago. For the time being, most of the provision traders avoided the selling side.

MAR SHARES SOAR ID HIGHER PRICES Activity of War Shares Un- equalled Since Inception
 of Movement

New York, September 27.--On a scale
 activity unequaled since the incep-
 on of the movement. war shares were
 pday lifted to higher prices. estab-
 shing many new records. The demand pr these stocks appeared to be large of speculative origin. but if rumor to be credited, there was consider
 ble buying from more substantial in- trests in the belief that several im- lortant industrial combinations are in process of consummation.
 Railroad stocks and other standard
 hares took part in the opening rise, hut fell back later when the special ies became more buoyant. Advances
 iolent as at times to suggest a cor her,' or at least open buying for con- rol Conservative Wall street viewed he movement with undisguised mis- Pivings and deplored that sudden and unexpected subsistence of interest in investment shares.
 A factor contributing in no small
 egree to the uprush in the war stocks vas the reported successful attack by he allied forces in the western arena # the war. Indications that the Anglo French credit or loan is moving to- ward satisfactory conclusion on erms attractive to American investors also served to whet the appetite of
 he professional element.
 The more noteworthy high records Pf the day were made by Baldwin Loco motive, which showed an extreme rise Pf 19k at 114%, General Motors 1SA Rt 363, Republic Iron and Steel 5Ss at P2ss, Crucible Steel 7h at 103. Stude- baker 5ss at 145A, American Can at Po 5s, Texas Company 9% at 173% and Bethlehem Steel 10 at 366
 Shares of companies participating ess directly in the demand for war Supplies rose to record quotations, While others of the same description epproximated their previous maximum f1gures. United States Steel was slow to move, but finally responded to a general Enquiry by advancing 3s to I1s%, just point under its top price since 1912.

Prattville. September 27-(speciai) The Prattville cotton mills. which have not run. except the rope machines, for the last two years have been cleared of the litiga- ton and sold to Frank Millsted of Tallassee. and they will put in opera tion during the next few days. The business community of Prattvi1le and surrounding country will duly appre- ciate this added industry. and this, with the high price of cotton. Is making a better feeling among business men of this city. While the cotton crop in this county is exceedingly short in quantity the high price will certainly afford the cotton farmers some relief.

AVERY ADVISES
 CAUTION IN COTTON

There seems to be no stopping this cotton market.
 Big traders liquidated long cotton to-
 day. only to replace it again at higher
 prices. New England spinners were
 moderate buyers and those who usually
 act for the so-called pool" crowd were
 heavy buyers of March. It Is said they
 bought about 25.ooo. Brokers who usu- ally act for McFadden were the largest sellers.
 At this level the market Is more two
 sided. and opinions differ both as to the technical situation and as to whether
 present prices do not discount much that was bullish in the situation My preference marketwise is to take a waiting attitude until the government reports are-out of the way, even should it be necessary to replace long cotton at higher prices. This attitude seems to be the part of common sense. While the report might be extremely bullish and prices advance on it, on the other hand 1t might be bearish or be so construed and 1t would be the signal for every body to try to get out at the same time with the usual result. c.
