New York Cotton Market

New York, Sept. 28.-While
still higher prices were reached
in the cotton market here today,
fluctuations were more irregular
and, after selling at 1875, Janu-
contracts closed at 1854, with
the general list steady at a net
gain of from 10 to Is points.
TIE market opened firm at an
advance of IL to, 20 points on
overnight buying orders and a re-
newal of bull support, which had

firm cables, bullish overnight aG.

course of the disturbance report

good deal of Liverpool selling
here on the differences, while
there was also heavy realizing,
and prices soon reacted some 10
to II points from the best, but
offerings were we'll taken at the
decline, and the market firmed
up, again on reports that storm
warnings had been ordered for
the Louisiana coast, and the Of
fetal advance carried October up
to 1925, December to 1858 and
March to 13. GA of "a to 81 points
above last nights closing figures,
with the relatively firm ruling of
the near months suggesting that
notices estimated at from 5000
to 10, 900 bales had been readily
absorbed at the prevailing diff
ferences.
Demand seemed to slacken
somewhat at the advance, how
ever, and fluctuations during the
balance of the day were extreme
ly nervous and irregular under
more or less general realizing
and predictions of a reaction in
advance of the government re-
ports on Saturday. Closing
prices showed setbacks of 10 or
IL points from the best. A pri-
vate report published during the
morning made the condition of
the crop 61.9 per cent, compared
with 70.2 per cent last month.
Commission houses were credit
ed with buying very heavily dur
ing the day, while some of the
older bulls were credited with
selling freely for profits. Do
nestle spinners were reported to
be buying spots little more
freely, but the demand from that
source is still said to be far be-
low the normal for this season.

"Cornrower Day. In Washington ha
proved a success. from reports at hand
today, despite the controversy over the
nationality of the little blue flowers
sold yesterday for the benefit of the
Diet Kitchen Association and its "better
babies" campaign.
Hundreds OF persons purchased the
cornflowers, and the promoters Of the
plan for raising funds for the kitchen
association were relieved when Il was
found that the sale would be successfuI
despite arguments advanced In some
quarters that the cornfiower is the ma
tional flower of Germany.
1t is said today that the controversy
over the origin and significance OF the
cornfiower stimulated interest to such
an extent that many persons who might
have overlooked the charity workers
otherwise purchased the flower.
When Nine. Hague suggested n corn
flower day, there Immediately arose the
claim that this blue flower was a Ger
man emblem The German Ambassador,
however, said Germany had no national
flower. and other members of the Dip
lomatic Corps were consulted, and gave
assurances that there would be no vio-
lation OF "neutraHty" by the sale Of
artificial cornfowcrs.
Many society girls were among the
