VIOLENT SWINGS
 AGAIN IN COTTON
Great Irregularity and Con- fused Sentiment Mark the
 Days Trading

New York, September 25.-The cot ton market was very irregular again today with further violent fluctua- tive. After an early break of onc- half cent or more on active months prices rallied about sS5o per bale, but lost most of the gain later, closing barely steady at net decline of 10 to 47 points. December sold off to 2S.50c early, rallied to 24.22c and closed at 2S.e0c.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of to 21 points with october relatively steady. It was the first mo- tice day for that delivery, but no notices were reported and the situa- tion in this respect brought in a lit- tie buying right after the call. Prices soon broke, however, under scatter ing liquidation. local and southern selling. Talk of an easier spot basis in the southwest encouraged reaction ary sentiment. and for time there was very little support in evidence. october sold off to 24.15c and Janu- ary to 23.43c, making declines of 36 to 57 points from last nights closing figures and of 84 to 110 points from the high level of yesterday.
 Early sellers seemed to be disap- pointed that there was not a greater volume of liquidation on the decline, and there was Wall street buying on the rally, which carried october up to 24.55c and January to 24.14c during the early afternoon. This made net ad- vance of IA to IF points on the more active months. which seemed to meet increased offerings partly from south ern sources and the market was very irregular in the late trading. the close showing declines of about 50 to 72 points from the best. Reports from Liverpool said futures there would be reopen for business on Monday morn ing with restrictions only on neutral trading

DOUBT ABOUT THE
 MAXIMUM ON CORN
Cause for an Alternate Up and Down Market in the
 Coarse Grains

Chicago, September 25.-Uncertainty over possible changes in the existing maximum values of corn led today to alternate weakness and strength in the corn market. The close was un- settled, E @1hc net higher at s121ss to $1.21& @1.21B December and s1.I9 11sB May. Oats finished %c off to @ %c up and provisings varying from 21sc decline to 67c advance.
 Belief prevailed during the first half of the session that the government food administration preferred to have the already established maximum price of corn let alone. Much selling pressure resulted. with absence of any indications of frost danger tending also to handicap the bulls In the last half of the day, however. a sharp up- turn ensued.
 Month-end adjustment of dealings in the September option of oats caused that month to lose some of the pre- mum Other deliveries, though, main tained firmness as country offerings were light
 Prov1sions reached new high price levels. Scarcity of hogs gave a lift 10 the market and so likewise did bullish statements regarding the world sup ply or meat and live stock.

evident Cotton has regained somewhat -of it's ground toward it's former peak" but stocks have a considerable distance to go.
 Babson charts a line of normal ad- vance toward which securities and com modities tend. This Is particularly true in respect to commodities. He lays down law that swing above the line of normal will be accompanied by swing below the line equal to the one above. In securities, my opinion Is, that the upward swing has not even reached the line of normal and, therefore, we may ex- pect much higher prices in stocks. In- nation is sure to follow bond issues and bring higher commodity prices and cot ton should be no exception to the rule. particularly high prices can come in this commodity after the movement into second hands has been completed. At present the upward move may see se- were setback before it resumes it's climb toward the higher levels. The extent of the downward spring can be greatly reg ulated by careful marketing by the farmers.

HIGH CALL MONEY STOPS STOCK GAINS Big Interests Aligned on the Constructive Side of
 Stocks Yesterday

New York, September 25.-After an early period of indecision, today's stock market extended it's advance of the previous day, many important is sues recording gross gains of ? to 4 points. For the most part, however, this improvement was surrendered in the final hour, when call loans rose to per cent after having been in free supply at per cent.
 The movement was the broadest and most active of any recent session. No specific news or developments attend ed the rise, but from the fact that It was guided largely by representa- tive industrials and standard rails the impression prevailed that speculative interests suddenly found it expedient 10 align themselves on the construc- tive side.
 The fixing of prices on steel and iron by the war industries board also served to stimulate action for the bull account. War shares figured promi- nently, but United States Steel was again the outstanding feature, cor- tributing over 25 per cent to the total sales.

GRAIN GOSSIP

The corn market is obsessed by one fac tor-beief that corn prices are too low, comparatively. The enormous crop prom ise is ignored. Occasionally some men tion of private frost forecasts is made but for three weeks the market has really possessed only one factor-belief of local bulls that prices are too low. The Her aid and Tribune ascribe the corn upturn to a misreading of Monday morning 8 Herald review. The Tribune mentions Patten, Rankin and Mincer on the bull side of corn. There are more claims of foreign accumulation. Beyond the fact that Board of Trade directors are ex- pected today to set date for considera- tion of corn maximum by all exchanges there is no news. About 420.00o oats have been delivered on September contracts and only five days remain to close up September oats.
 Buying by shorts on all dips is due. Local feeling on corn decidedly rein forces oats.-Wagner
 Packing interests are buying Decem- Der and May corn. Last bulge Is on g cash corn at Peoria.-Wagner.

Big Upward Tendencies Evident
 In Both Stocks and Cotton
By c. F. AVERY

In speculative move of either trend, up or down, the spectators segregate themselves into several classes. There are those technically called scalpers, whose operations are only of a day-to-day character and who concern themselves not at all with fundamentals; others ob- serve the prime factors, but are satisfied with moderate gains. and still another class whose plans take note only of the long pull in the market. This latter class is composed of the Dig interests. The market operations of these various small fry make the see-saw character of the market movements, and these moves If charted would resemble the course of a sailing vessel and its va rious tacks, but like the vessel, it has a definite course and despite its appar- ent deviation, pursues a positive trend.
 The present market movements in both stocks and cotton are of this character. We have seen the big swings downward in both and the upward trend is now

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 25-Nervous price changes resulted in cotton here to- day from conflicting influences, the mar ket having no very decided tendency all though toward the end it broke and the close showed net losses of 25 to A points. Liquidation of long contracts by traders who were desirous of evening up over the pending bureau reports on condition and ginning was the strongest factor against the market, although at times short selling was heavy. Whatever stead- mess the market had was derived from the movements of the tropical storm, which, it was feared, threatened to strike some portion of the gulf coast and the cotton region

 Nervous fluctuations featured the trading in cotton today, the market failing to get very far either way During next few days the one big fac- tor will be the weather and it's chief feature will be the tropical storm. which is closely following the path of all tropical storms which break into the gulf apd from thence strike into the cotton region.
 The market can hardly be a sale un- til the storm is out of way. After that more liquidation may be seen but all evidence points to bullish returns on both ginning and condition. hence we believe in purchases on all good breaks.
