 The shorts in the cotton market evil dently had not all been run in, although early in the session there was evidence that the bulls tried the market out, and finding a short interest stlll left, took another twist at their tails with the result the close was at about the high for the day. There was no particular news to account for the advance ex- cept this.

McKinnon's Letter

Chicago, September 20.-Corn: Light frost in extreme west and indications of more tonight over northern part of the corn belt have induced some in- vestment demand. It was apparent from the action of the market and character of the buying the short in : terest had been practically wiped out Unless severe temperatures are shown in tomorrow mornings map there seems likelihood of lower values
 Oats: Continued strength has beer apparent in September oats to buying by seaboard connections and by ele- vator interests. Despite this class of buying there has been nothing heard of export sales. Reported labor trou- bles at the elevators was in a small way a strengthening factor.

Clevenberg's Letter

New York. September 20.-The mar ket ruled featureless until the early afternoon when buying by Wagner brokers forced December to 12.10c. This buying may have been for Scales and was followed by Wall street and western buying and this in turn brought ~in covering that looked to be for the larger spot interests who apparently expected to see prices go under 19c There was no particular news to warrant today's rise. Spots were reported in good demand and there were private predictions of bad weather The strength of the market has made shorts extremely nervous and prices will advance until they are all in

Shepard & Gluck's Letter

New Orleans. September 2o.-Al- though the market had its setbacks today there appeared to be more widespread demand for cotton with speculative sentiment stronger for the bull side among large traders. Chi cago was put down among the promi- nent buyers when a purchasing move ment of more than usual determine tion made It's appearance, lifting mar ket to a net advance and the highest levels for the day after a small de- cline had been brought about by real izing and short selling combined.
 growing factor of importance is the disposition of farmers to store their cotton and hold for higher prices, now that many of them have settled their early obligations. The present situation does not speak for lower prices and we advise purchases on all soft spots.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 2O.-The ten dency of cotton here today was upward. Heavy buying made its appearance after the noon hour and replaced small net decline with wide net advance which, at its best amounted to 64 to 72 points. Last prices showed net gains for the day of 57 to 63 points.
 Buying was stimulated by reports of growth of a holding movement among farmers, by continued cool weather in the eastern belt and crop reports which were accepted as indicating continued crop deterioration of a serious nature. Shorts covered on a large scale late in the session, but the advance started through speculative buying in which western interests appeared to be the leaders.
 Around the opening the market was Il to r points up, chiefly on the weather map, and the low temperatures in the eastern belt. Realizing by longs met and checked this improvement and offerings were increased by short selling based on reports of an easier spot basis at some Texas points and by fear that the strike on the river front here would interfere with handling of cotton. At the lowest of the day prices were 10 to F points un- der yesterdays close. In the afternoon spot news took on different tone and prices responded quickly to buying orders.

CIark's Letter

New Orleans, September 20.--Unfa- vorable low temperatures continue over the eastern territory. It was the delay to the maturing of the crop by this cold spell which is the funda- mental cause for the advance in the market, because it upset the bearish programme of concerted crop pressure and made temporary adjustment to spot resistance imperative. Until tech- nical defects in the market are cor rected and new adjustment of forces perfected. harvesting increases and crop pressure becomes more general over the belt. bulls will have the ad- vantage.
 Bearish opinion prevailed in New York on the ground that much short interest is covered and increased hedge selling pressure Is expected This ex- pectation may prove premature.
 In spite of much selling on bearish New York opinion. the contract mar nights closing prices.
