COTTON MAKES A
 STEADY ADVANCE
Market Opens Firm and Rises Close 19 to 24 Points Up Houses With Liverpool Con- nectiOns Good Buyers.

New York, Sept. 13.-Cotton was higher today, with December con- tracts selling up to 15.54c and closing at 15.52c. The general list closed steady at a net advance of 19 to 24 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of IA to IS points, in response to higher Liverpool cables. Private advices indicated that the market there had been influenced by small Southern offerings and a better trade demand accompanying increased ac- tivity in Manchester. Houses with Liverpool connections were good buy CTS here, but there was a good deal of realizing around the initial figures, as well as some scattered selling for q turn, and prices eased off or points from the best right after the call. There was trade support, probably being stimulated by reports that a New Orleans authority estimated the crop at 12,690,000 bales, including linters. At any rate, the market de- veloped renewed firmness, selling some 20 to 23 points net higher before mid day.
 A second reaction of 8 to 10 points followed the publication of the weekly weather report, indicating good pro- gress with picking and ginning under favorable weather conditions, but the market soon firmed up again, reach ing the best point of the day in the late trading.
 Cotton market closed very steady.

BLISS NOW IS AID.
 ING COMMISSION
General Taskar H. Bliss Now in Consultation With American Members Joint Commission Opinion is Sought.

New London, Sept. 13.-Sugges tions as to what method shall be em- ployed to establish peace on. the Mex lcan border were submitted today to General Taskar H. Bliss, U. s. A., by the American members of the com mission.
 The officers opinions were sought on subjects ranging from the with drawal of troops from Mexico to the possibility of creating an internation- al police to guard the border. No con clusion was reached
 The joint commission dealt today wholly with questions raised by tax ation decrees issued by General Car ranza which affect American-con- trolled mining properties in Mexico.
 The Mexican commissioners ex- plained in detail the decree explain ing they were designed to encourage mining. In their conference with General Bliss the American commis- sioners took under consideration the advisability of suggesting a system of border patrol, that a part of the Mexican troops now engaged in this duty would be released for the pursuit of Mexican bandits.
 They considered also the attitude of the Americans living along the border. Discussing the wider aspects of the commissions work, Secretary Lane said tonight it was probably unique in the history of American bodies in that it was going into all that concerned the life of a nation its economic problems, its political struggles and every phase of govern. ment.
