Cleyenburg-s Letter

New York, September S.-Buying for trade account was more in evidence to- day than for sometime, but the temper of the trade Is bearish and cotton is put out on all bulges. Immediate prices depend largely on the attitude of the farmer in the south, and if he is willing to sell his cotton below 20 cents, prices will work some lower, as the buying power is not sufficient to absorb the large offerings. On the other hand, should he shut up with the existing short in- terest it would seem wise to use caution in selling at this level.

Shepard & Gluck's Letter

New Orleans, September s.-Price changes were not important in cotton to- day, fluctuations being unusually narrow Prices rose to net advance of to F points and then fell to net loss of Y to IS points.
 A feature of the session Which cannot be overlooked was the report from Texas of strongly rising spot basis. Thus Dal- las wired that the basis in the interior was very high and that there was a big demand for the actual stuff Paris Tex, wired in that there had been rise of 75 points in the basis since yesterday morn ing. Prospects of lower freight rates. the more liberal view of the government concerning export licenses and the grow ing needs of foreign countries seem to be having their effect on the spot situa- tion
 The weather map was warm and dry and nothing further was heard of the tropical disturbance reported yesterday in the Caribbean sea. We believe that the market IS ripe for reaction and think that purchases may safely be placed on all soft spots.

 Evening up of accounts in the stock market is likely today but rallies should follow the dips. The general list seems to be displaying more residence and the short interest is not as sure of it's posi- ton as 1t was according to our reports Financial Bulletin.

Hutton's Stock Letter

New York, September 8.-There has been a great deal of short selling and cer-
 tain amount of liquidation. General Flee tric, which has been out of line, de- clined points. Pullman took a tumble and Bethlehem B sold at 100, decline from the high of 55 points. People are beginning to look at the republication of this company three years ago and com pare it with that of today and wonder whether they have not gone little too fast United States Steel has been con spicuous for Is strength. It was sold down in sympathy with the general weakness, but recovered on very light trading. Things are chaotic, many con- ditions are not right, but we are dis counting whole lot. The extreme radi- calism in the Senate has passed away. We think there will be change of heart, perhaps, in the House and the admins- tration will realize that the way to get a big output of coal and steel and every- thing that is required to win this war and to get big income taxes paid and the liberty loan oversubscribed, is to allow the business men to make their good profits as well.
