The ginning report specifically Is bear
ish, in reality it is bullish. 1t indicates
early picking and ginning. It confirms
ccnclusively private reports received from
many sections of the belt that the crop
will be early picked and ginned. Prema-
ture opening accounts very largely Tor
this. Thus early exhaustion is possibly
indicated. From our viewpoint it is an
impossibility to construe anything relat-
ing to the present crop as bearish. It is
bound to be small. American mill con-
sumption is heavy and bids fair to exceed
that of last year. Exports are increasing.
Cotton yarns are soaring. Cotton goods

We doubt if much will be found for

GINNING REPORT HAS
EFFECT ON PRICES
Buying Stimulated on Early
Reports of liberal Spot
Offerings

New Orleans, September S,-While the
cotton market again today broke to new
levels for the reaction which started with
the beginning of this week, steady tone
developed at the lowest levels, and dur
ing the afternoon there was strong
recovery, the market regaining practice
ally all it's loss. The close was at a
net decline of to points.
The census bureau report showing $50, 032
bales of cotton ginned to September l.
which were record figures had a pro-
nounced effect on prices, the market los
ing IS a bale around the opening, and a
little later standing 80 to 80 points down
on the active months. At this level the
October position was 173 points down
from the high quotation for the season.
made a week ago today. Early reports
were that spot offerings in the interior
were liberal, but later in the day points
here and there In the belt began to talk
about farmers storing to some extent.
This stimulated fresh long buying at the
decline. In addition a weekend covering
movement started among shorts who
wanted their profits, and gradually the
demand increased from this source, until
it was of large proportions.
Late in the day the active months were
unchanged to s points down. compared to
yesterdays close.

BREAK IN
COTTON MARKET
Heavy Ginning Returns Sur.
prise Market and De-
clines Occur

New York, September S.-Unexpectly
further severe break in the cotton
market during today's early trading. De-
cember contracts sold off to 1860 or q
points under last nights closing figures
and about IA points under the high levels
of last week, but liquidation then be-
came less active and there were rallies
in the late trading with December clos
ing at 1920. The general list closed
steady at net loss of 8 to points for
the day.
Fairly large ginning returns had been
quite generally expected in the trade here,
but it seemed that no one was prepared
for record breaking figures and in some
quarters the census report of S5o,oS2 bales
ginned to September 1. was considered out
of line with recent small estimates of
the crop. Liverpool cables were relatively
firm, and the market here opened steady
but first prices were 1 to 10 points lower
under renewal of liquidation and
southern selling. Offerings increased as
the ginning figures circulated and before
the end of the morning, active months
were selling about q to 81 points net
lower October was relatively weak de-
clining to 14.ssc, or s. per bale under the
high record of last Friday while January
sold at 15.15c, and March at 15.26c. At
this level the technical position seemed
to be stronger, as liquidation became less
active and the rally during the after
noon, reflected trade buying as well as
covering.
Spinners were said to be fixing prices
both here and In Liverpool and this was
one of the factors on the advance of
scome 20 to % points from the low level
of the morning. Some of the private
wires received from the southwest said
that the interior was beginning to with
draw spot offerings at the decline and
local bulls attributed the extraordinary
heavy ginning figures to premature open
ing in some quarters combined with
rush to pick in order to secure recently
prevailing prices.
Private cables reported hedge selling
and further liquidation on early decline,
but said the trade was buying and at
tributed rally just before the local
opening to an improved spot demand.

URGENT DEMAND
FOR CASH WHEAT
Reports of Bulgarian Sue
cesses Tended to Ad-
vance Prices

Chicago, September S.-Reports of fresh
Bulgarian successes in Rumania did a
good deal today to lift the wheat mar
let here, and so did correct predictions
of a bullish crop report from Washing
ton. The close, although unsettled, was
2 to SIC net higher, with December at
s15S to N.56A and May at s1.57 and
s1.57ss Corn gained &c to &c, oats fin
ished unchanged to nc up, and provisions
down 10c to soc.
Wheat prices at first showed consider
able depression owing to lower cable quo
tations by Liverpool announcements of a
general strike of mill operatives and word
that British dealers were purchasing
freely in Argentina rather than in the
United States. Authorities here how
ever, contended that wheat in the United
States was relatively 10c bushel cheaper
than in Argentina. Then came dispatches
that the Bulgarians had captured three
seaports In Rumania, and were waging
battle over a wide front against the Ru-
manian and Russian forces together.
Active speculative buying here ensued,
and the market rose to the highest prices
of the season for September and Decem-
Der and nearly so for May. General ac-
ceptance of bullish forecasts of the gov
day, but especially in tho last half of the
season as handicap on the bears,
Urgent demand for cash wheat was
evident in all directions. Northwestern
millers were said to have been unusually
alert In swapping up supplies, and there
appeared to be no letup In the call for
wheat fer export
Corn mounted to the highest Septem her
price In "a years, Ole a bushel. Selling
by the principal holders, however, caused
a reaction nearly to yesterdays finish
The strength of wheat seemed to be the
chief bullish Influence, but besides there
were erroneous private estimates current
that the government crop total would
show falling off instead of material
gain.

Ayery's Letter

The census report on ginning to Sep
tember 1 was bearish considered casually
and encouraged bigger crop ideas. How
ever, little thought will bring to mind
the fact. the excessive heat of August
has caused cotton to mature very rapidly
in Texas and Georgia. Furthermore
there was the big incentive of 15h cents
to rush the picking and ginning in order
to get the benefit of these high prices.
This is the answer to the big ginnings.
1t does not indicate in any way that
the total indicated crop has been in
creased by a bale. On the contrary some
localities report the first picking took
all the cotton there was. Other localities
say the boil weevil has what top crop
there was.
Spot markets in the interior show re-
sistance to declines and futures are at
such discounts under spots and the
liquidation has been so drastic that it is
reasonable to believe prices are close to
the turning point. and 1t Is my opinion
purchases can safely be made at these
levels for another big upturn.
