FORESEES HIGHER
PRICES FOR COTTON


New Orleans, La. September N-(Spe-
cial. 1.-THE position of cotton is well de-
fined. 1t is fairly certain the crop will
b. 100000 bales under requirements
The south can carry the crop longer than
the world can wait for it.
The demand for cotton goods is greater
than the supply at the highest prices OF
the season. These prices justify a
higher price for raw cotton than has yet
been paid. The logic of all events def
nitely points to such a price being
realized if the crop is sold slowly. The
war seems fast converging to it's end
Under such conditions it is the plainest
economic folly to do otherwise than mar
ket the crop sparingly. regardless of
what prices may prevail. Current COM
mercial records and the Organization and
extent Of the southsr resources warrant
this statement.
Rushing cotton to market now will not
prevent an acute shortage later on.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-09-15

however, the market qufeted down. In
the closing hour January eased to IL. Toe,
but fresh buying carried prices back to
15.7Tc at the close. We believe in higher
prices, but timidity Is shown by many in
terests because We have had rally of
rs points or $500 on January since last
Monday. Moderate reactions from time
TO time must be expected, on which We
favor purchases. December oil opened
up 81 points this morning. March only s.
The south took down long profits on a big
scale. Its selling alone demoralized
prices December oil sold down to 10.02c.
March to 10.33c. Those figures showed
declines for the day of IS and % points
respectively. Texas interests are very
bearish on cotton seed oil. They were
opposed to 1t last year at size for Jam
uary. We think they are as much mis-
taken In their views this year as they
were last. We look for materially higher
oil markets. We favor December, Jan.
uary and March purchases on all de.
clines. We think they will soon sell over
lie.

WHEAT TAKES A
DOWNWARD TURN
The RumOrs That Sweden
Might Enter War Against
Britain Offset Prices

Chicago. September H.-Sudden weak
ness seized the wheat market late to-
day after an early display of strength
The downturn, which in some cases
amounted to 7c a bushel as compared
with top prices of the day was accom-
ps MED by the assertions that Argen-
tine wheat was being offered cheaper in
the United States than domestic wheat
and by unconfirmed rumors that Sweden
had decided to so to war. presumably
against Great Britain. Something of a re-
covery ensued but prices closed weak
INC to 27sc net lower, with December at
81. 4s1s to s1.4sA. and May at sl.49 to s1491a
Corn lost Ac to 1sc and oats isc to &c
In provisions the outcome ranged from
&c decline to rise of 321zc.
Extreme breaks of 51a to &c bushel
from the top prices of the day in wheat
were brief, but nevertheless lasted long
enough to enforce the sacrifice of many
ill protected holdings. The causes of
the time and would have made little if
any difference as most of the sales were
of an automatic stop loss character. 1t
was not until considerable interval after
the session was over that any public
mention was made of the rumors refer
ring to the supposed warlike action of
Sweden. The reports, however, as to
low priced offers from Argentina had
been given wide circulation, and had
greatly unsettled the market SO that
not much more was needed to tumble
prices headlong downward.
Corn fell when wheat turned weak
Before that time the market had scored
a decided advance, owing to predictions
of widespread frost tonight that might
result in serious damage to large frae-
tlon of the crop. Oats swayed with corn
and wheat. Liberal export buying proved
insufficient as an offset to increased Of
ferings in the last hour.
Provisions bulged on account of reports
of big purchasing for Belgian relief
Profit taking on the part of Tuesdays
buyers formed a noticeable feature, and
tended to ease prices down at the last
Future quotations were as follows:

Coffee Market

New York, September 14.-A more ia.
vorable view of new crop prospects and
reports that Brazilian shippers were

prices steadied point or two on COW

For Slayer of Farmer


Girard. September H.-(Special)-A re-
ward of $500 has been offered for the
apprehension Of the unknown negro who
is supposed to have shot and killed and
afterward robbed James Culpepper, q
farmer Of this county, on last Friday.
Culpepper had been to Columbus, Ca,
with cotton. and was on the return trip
home alone with the money in his pocket
when he was shot to death by = negro
who had asked permission to ride with
him. Several persons saw the negro in
tho wagon with Culpepper, and some saw
him after the killing, but did not succoed
in getting him. Posses organized BY the
sheriffs Of Lee and Russell counties have
been searching for him several days
without success, and the reward is

COTTON PRICES TAKE.
MATERIAL ADVANCE
Firmer Tone in Southern
Market Inspires Buying
Movement

New Orleans, September 1.-THE bullish
figures on American mill consumption
for August showing total of linters
and cotton of 626,579 bales caused a
heavy buying on the opening of the cotton
contract market today. Prices were lifted
20 to % points, dollar a bale. in the
first half hour of trading.
In the early afternoon the market stood
at a net rise of 26 to 80 points. Heavy
liquidation set in accompanied with
short selling following the report that
Sweden had Joined the central allies and
prices fell off. Spots were quoted UP Nc

Sugar Market

New York, September 1.-THE local
market for raw sugar was steady early,
and sales Of 10000 bags of Cubas for
prompt shipment were made to a local
refiner at 4lkc cost and freight but to-
ward the close the market turned easier,
following the break In futures. Holders
were little more disposed to sell and
Cubas for nearby shipment were offered
at 4ssc cost and freight, without at
tracing any further interest from re-
finers. Final quotations were nominal at
41hc. cost and freight. equal to 5.52c for
centrifugal and 475c for molasses.
Trading In refined sugar was consider
ably less active. although Withdrawals
on old orders were good. The recent
advance and the slightly easier ruling in
raws seemed to have checked the de-
mand to some extent Export inquiry
was only moderate. yrices were un-
changed. with practicallssall refiners ac-
cepting orders at 6.4oc for fine granu-
lated.
There was a heavy general selling

Avery's Letter

Our market opened about 10 points high
er this morning in response to an ad-
vance of IL to IA points in Liverpool
which market was only due to higher
There was good demand around the
opening, spot houses and Liverpool be-
| ing credited with being the best buyers
in the early session.
The consumption report, issued on the
opening by the census bureau showed
about 100000 bales more consumed, dur
| ing the month of August than for the
same period last year, which was con-
strued as bullish.
There was considerable hedge selling on
the advance, which caused a reaction of
| 10 points, but the market held very steady
around this level until the last hour,
when western houses were reported SELL
| ers on rains in the western belt These
rains are too late to add to Me yield
and will only retard the movement of
new cotton, which is bulish rather than
a bearish argument.
Private weather experts say there are
| indications of cold wave coming on
| the northwestern section of the cotton
| belt and frost is not unlikely within the
next few days.
| Spots are very steady with quotations
| 10 to % points higher at all southern
markets.
| I think purchases of cotton will prove
profitable. especially If made on easy
spots.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, September 14-A threat of
frost in western Oklahoma, better de-
mand from Manchester, with some
American spinners buying against for
ward sales of goods were the features
which stimulated the demand this morn
ing and finally advanced the market
some 26 points. Then many of the local
traders who had carried over the recent
decline larger lines of cotton than they
intended to liquidate. many hedge selling
orders came from southern buyers. who
said they could buy on almost a tender
able basis and could not place their cot
ton with the spinners, brought about a
check and decline to below the OPEN
ing prices, where Wall street again
bought. The market has more cotton
to protect as result of these continued
hedge sales than for many months.
