UPWARD TENDENCY
ON COTTON MARKET
Crop Reports and Bullish In
fluences Firm up Prices.
Closed at Gain

New Orleans. September 29.-Cotton held
quiet, but steady on this market today
with a slight upward tendency, partly
owing to the cold weather in the belt and
predictions of frost tonight over large
area of cotton country. Other Influences
were several bullish private condition re-
ports, better cables than due and an I'M
expected advance of an eighth of a cent
a pound in local spot prices. Liquidation
of long cotton and hedging operations
furnished offerings which came close to
filling the demand, and the highest levels
of the session showed a gain of but to
10 points. At one time, the market stood
within about a point of yesterdays close
Last prices were at a net gain Of L to 3
points.
Fresh business was restricted by the
nearness of the government report The
cold weather caused much bullish COM
ment, but resulted in little buying. Trad
ers with bullish inclinations appeared
somewhat less confident than they have
been as to how the expected large gin
ming returns will be received.
Taken all around, the market was a
small affair with the developments OF
the day falling flat

Fairchild & Co.'S Letter

New York. September ga 10 or 12-
point advance seemed to be the capacity
of the cotton market today, with closing
rrices to points below the days high
figures.
Some buying occurred on reports of
killing frosts at two Oklahoma points
Killing general frosts would be unusual
this early, but this season it would be
well to remember that it would have very
little permanent stimulating effect upon
prices because of the fact that most cot
ton is now open and little top crop is
reported anywhere.
We believe that the ginning figures to
be published at 10 a. m. Monday will be
very heavy: If so they may inspire con-
siderable long liquidation, but trade and
mill interests may step into the breech
and support the market
II the condition figures to be published
Monday at II a. m. are bullish, the mar
ket will doubtless advance sharply as
big ginning figures will be recognized as
foreeasting early exhaustion while small
condition figures will confirm the gen
eral idea of a very short crop.
Therefore, on any break after the open
ing Monday We favor purchases of
March and May.
Soya bean, olive. vegetable animal and
fish oils are all firm, with an advancing
tendency. Cotton seed oil alone is quiet,
but is likely to have a sensational adj
vance when least expected We believe
refiners will soon take to the bull side.
The situation is too bullish to much
longer combat in our opinion. We favor
purchases

WHEAT SET BACK
ONPROF|T TAKING
Prices Held Firm Until Late
Session, But the Close
Was Weak

Chicago. September 2s-After wheat in
some cases today had touched the high
est prices yet this season, heavy profit
taking by holders led to a decided set
back. The chief bullish influence con-
tinued to be the lack of rain in Areen-
tina. Closing prices here, however, we're
weak, sl91c net lower, with December
at s154ls and May at sl.577s. Corn fin
ished &c OFF to &c up. oats 1sc decline

changed to 25c down.
Throughout most of the session wheat

sides, gossip was current that foreigners
were purchasing futures here, influenced
apparently by the pessimistic crop out.
look in Argentina and by the difficulty
of obtaining supplies from India or Aus
tralia. Another bullish factor was a
statement by a leading authority that in
less than three months the United States
had already shipped nearly half Of the
years export surplus.
Prominent spectators who for some.
time have been conspicuous on the buy
ing side of the wheat market were the
chief sellers after the September option
had assembled to sl.57ss, NV high record
for 1916. Aside from the liberal profit
taking by holders, there seemed to be
no development to account for the late
weakness. In the end, however, the SELL
ing attained such volume that almost in
a literal sense the pit seemed to be full
of wheat
Corn largely paralleled the action of
wheat Unfavorable crop news from Ar
gentina was virtually offset by heavy
selling on the part of owners here.
Oats were reflected on a small scale thu
course of other cereals. Trading was not
especially active at any time.
Provisions averaged lower with hogs.
Lard was relatively steady on account of
buying ascribed to packers.
Future quota tons were as follows:

WEATHER REPORTS
ADVANCE PRICES.
Cotton Market Opened
Steady and Held Its Own
Against Adverse Reports

New York, September 2s.-Reports OF
frost in the southwest caused a rally in
the cotton market today with January
contracts selling up from 1910 to 1s2c.
Demand did not become active. however
and prices later essed off with January
closing at 1615c. The general list closed
steady, net unchanged, to points higher
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of points on bullish private con-
dition figures and frost predictions.
There seemed to be quite a good deal
Of cotton for sale around the initial
level, largely for Liverpool and New
Orleans account. There was also local
realizing and prices sagged off shortly
after the call, with December selling
down to 16o5c, and March to 1890, or
about even with last nights closing fig
ures. The eastern belt forecast for frost
in northern sections tonight then checked
offering and the market later improved
on the detailed weather reports showing
of points in Oklahoma. This rally car
ried December up TO 1910 and March to
16,40c or some to II points above last
nights finals but the buying was not
aggressive and general business remained
quiet. Moreover the advance seemed to
meet renewed realizing for over-the-gov-
err.ment reports expected on Mondag,
and last prices showed reactions OF or
Z points from the best Three private
crop reports were issued One of them
made the condition So against CAT last
month, another was $50 against So, and
the third was ST. against SAT last year.
According to this later report 49, per
cent of the crop has been picked against
Is per cent last year, and the condition
points to a yield of about II, 4SS. 900 bales.
One of the other reports estimated the
amount picked at As per cent against 50
last year and a 1o-year average of 81 per
cent. There may have been some scat

RECORDS BROKEN
ONSTOCK EXCHANGE
Feature Was Large Proper
tons of IndustriaIs Which
Eclipsed Other Shares

New York, September 29.-Dealings on
the stock exchange today rounded out
the fourth successive week of five full
sessions each and one weekend of two
hour sessions in which transactions
reached or exceeded 10000 shares. This
is a record without precedent since the
years which marked the many huge in
dustrial combinations and mergers, in
Guiding that of the United States Steel
corporation.
Today's turnover of ], $50 900 shares waa
not only the largest with one exception
for the current movement, but was even
more noteworthy for the enormous pro
portion of industrials dealt in, this group
completely eclipsing the rails, coppers
and other issues in which speculation re-
Gently was most active.
United States Steel led throughout, ris-
ing to 1295s, a new record, on sales of
about $4,000 shares. Other iron and steel
shares were conspicuous for their
strength and activity and included Re-
public Iron and Steel at the new record
of 1874.
Gains of 1 to nearly points were
scored by Colorado Fuel, American Car,
Crucible, Lackawanna and Sloss-Shef-
fleld Steel, Cast Iron Pipe, Railway Steel
Springs, Pressed Steel Car, New York
Air Brake and American and Baldwin
Locomotives. Even the most obscure is
sues of this group awakened from their
long legarthy sharing more moderately in
the upward movement
Rails were backward but displayed a
strong undertone particularly Union Pa
cific and coalers, Lehigh Valley, for ex-
ample, recovering its quarterly dividend
twice over at an advance of 25s points.
Many war and semi-war issues bene-
fitted by the rise in industrials, together
with Petroleum and sugars.
Bonds were active and strong, with an
increased demand for the international
war issues, which changed hands at the
best quotations for some weeks. Total
sales of bonds, par value, So, 100000.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.

which will be published al 10 o'clock and
the usual monthly bureau report on the
condition of the crop as Of September %,
which will be published at II o'clock
1t is expected the ginners' report will
he very heavy. The local view is that
the condition report will be low enough
t. be bullish. Frost was reported in
Oklahoma and at one or two places tenn
peratures were low enough to attract
general attention. As this is early for
any serious frost to occur. some local
buying was attracted.
We see no change in the general situa-
ton, as American mills continue TO report
business passing on a profitable basis
even at these prices. and they are still
buyers on each decline Except for this
however. the market displays little en-
thusiasm. and has not recently responded
to bullish news.
