COTTON STEADIER
ON BUYING DEMAND
Continued Damage AdviceS
Make Bear Traders Be-
come Cautious.

A renewal of Wall Street selling
failed to make as much impression on
the cotton market yesterday as the day
before. and while there was no sub
stantial advance recorded. the declines
also were rather small, being mostly
around the opening. when the list was
unchanged to points lower.
October dropped TO 1287 during this
downward movement. which proved tc
be the lowest of the day. as a better
class of buying developed under 1920,
while there was further buying of Oc-
tober, December and January by spot
houses. Around the opening this was
notably a feature in the January posi-
ton. and tended to absorb a good deal
of the cotton which was for sale by
Wall Street houses
Damage advices were so numerous
during the day that spirit Of caution
gradually developed among bear trad.
ers. while near the close good deal OF
covering and some bull support devel-
oped. which gave the m'SSet a steady
tone with final prices to points
net higher. e
1t was still raining in many parts OF
the Eastern belt, according to both pup
lie and nrivate advices. Wires from
Columbus, Ga; Selma, Ala, and At
lanta. Ga, all referred to very. serious
reports as to the position OF the crop
The forecast for somewhat cooler
weather in the western parts OF the
belt and continued showers IN tne
East was regarded as more favorapie
than otherwise.
OF particular interest 70 bears was
an afternoon report mentioning ram at
Tavlor. Tex. which is in the central
mart of the state. and with the heavy
rain reported in Oklahoma carrier IN
the dav gave assurances that the crop
was not suffering from drouth.
Boil weevil talk was contained IN
dispatch from Hazlehurst, Miss. which
said the weevil was doing considerable
damage in some sections OF the coun-
try. although in spite of this, with an
increased acreage. it appeared certain
that the cotton crop viii be larger IMAM
it has been for years. q,
The first new bales were reported
from a number of points in Texas yes
terdav. Exports for the day amounted
10 23.1l4 bales and for the season o.
800. O65 bales, against S.26o,0o4 last las
year. Southern spot markets. as ON

Bond Men Complain.

Bond men continue to complain OF a
lack Of demand for long term issues OF
practically every character, with the
possible exception Of municipals, which,
owing 70 their peculiar attractions with
regard 70 the provisions Of the income
tsx, are always the subject Of numer-
Gus inquiries. There is quite an active
market in short time securities, the
banks having recently disposed OF
considerable portion of their holdings

pear likely that much new financing
Will be announced during August, as
there are less than s14,0OO,0OO OF cor
lorsie securities maturing next month
This is by far the smallest total for
any month since the beginning of the
year. Maturities in June were over
$sOO00000. and for this month they eX-
esed $4,000, 900. For the remaining five
months Of 1916 they are less than
NS,OOO,0OO in the aggregate. This
means that the problems of refunding

praiser and one from outside OF the
locality. Mr.. Rae was selected be,
cause of his experience and good
standing.
"The fact that Mr.. Rae later ap-
pesred as witness for Senator
Reynolds is something over which
neither this department nor any Of
fetal can have control, and for which
we are not responsible and do not
propose to assume any responsibility.
Assessments Status.
"The fact that the Department OF
Taxes and Assessments has assessed
the property at about "a cents is, to
those who understand the situation, OF
not the slightest significance. There
is no relation whatever between as
sessed valuations and the prices that
people demand for their property, es-
pecially when they are selling to the
city, and the prices fixed in condemna-
tion.
what Senator Reynolds paid for the
property we did not know and how
could we? But any real estate au-
thority will certify that the valuation
of this particular property was great

ENORMOUS PROFITS
IN IRON AND STEEL
Report of Republic Company
Best in Its History.

The report Of the earnings Of the
Republic Iron and Steel Company for
the six months ended June 30 is the
best in the history of the company. 1t
shows enormous increases for the
period over a year ago, and reflects
the improved conditions in the iron
and steel industry.
Commenting on the report, John A.
Topping, chairman of the executive
committee, says: "The extraordinary
domestic and foreign demand for iron
and steel, referred to in our annual
report under date of December 81, 1915,
continued without abatement through
out the six months ending June 80 of
this year, present conditions suggest
ING that demands have not been fully
satisfied.
"Prices under the stimulus OF these
unusual conditions have made sub
stantial advances, present rates closely
approximating the record prices es-
tablished during the year 1899. Labor
rates. however, are generally approx
mately double the 1899 rates, whereas
the purchasing power of the dollar has
been authoritatively stated as being
one-third less than during 1899; yet
notwithstanding these favorable con-
ditions labor unrest is prevalent, our
principal works at Youngstown, ONO
having suffered serious financial loss
from a strike shutdown of several
weeks during January of this year, and
at the present time operations in the
Northwestern iron ranges are some
what disturbed"
The net earnings of the company
amounted TO s6,779. .703, an increase of
s5 OOS OO6. Total profits were S6,523,-
OPT. an increase of s5,022,974, while
net profits amounted to $6204,527, an
increase of $4,769,44O. The surplus
was equal TO Is per cent earned on
s27 100000 common stock for the six
months. after payment of more than 3
per cent on the preferred stock.

Bunk"
"REYNOLDS GOT
NO ADVANTAGES
Prendergast Defends the Re-
tention of Rae as an
Appraiser.

Mayor Mitchell yesterday denounced
as bunk" the statement made by
William Bullock, director of the Blu
reau Of City Inquiry, intimating that
former Senator William H. Reynolds,
of Brooklyn, made a small fortune
when he sold the Dreamland property
at Coney Island to the city at an
excessive figure" and was about to
get an unduly high price for land in
South Brooklyn which the city is to
purchase for the South Brooklyn mar
ginal terminal Controller Prender-
CAST also denounced the Bullock state
ment.
The city now has an option on the
South Brooklyn property at $l.3O per
square foot. Independent appraisals
made by the city and the owner placed
a fair value at s1.38. Bullock de-
clared that Thomas J. Hanlon, deputy
tax assessor, believed SO cents a square
foot was good price for the prop
erty
He accused the Controller of ap-
pointing as city appraiser william
p. Rae, who had been employed by ex-
Senator Reynolds on several occasions
TO appraise property.
Charges Bunk" Mayor Says.
"All this talk Of option is bunk and
is known By Bullock 70 be bunk" said
the Mayor. "lt is an attempt 20 utter

city and at arms length. Whenever
ex-senator Reynolds had relations
with the city ne was treated more
vigorously than any one else doing
business with the municipality, on ac-
count Of his we'll known friendship
with me-"
The Mayor said he did not know
Rae personally. but had always under
stood that his appraisal was absolute
ly fair and had been checked by other
Controller Prendergast said that the
story of the proposal to purchase
South Brooklyn property for the mar
ginal terminal was an old one and
that Bullock would not have revived
il again if he did not have "to make
some pretense of earning the money
being paid TO him by people whose
sole purpose is TO attack and inJure
the city administration
Why Rae Was Retained.
Refarring TO Rae, the Controller
said:

done considerable business for this
department. He and Mr.. Kennedy ap-
praised the Dreamland property. My
