COTTON

New Orleans, October 14--Higher prices
 resulted in cotton here last week pe-
 cause of the unfavorable weather condi-
 tions over the belt, but heavy liquidation
 met the improvement and prevented sen
 sational upturns. The cold wave which
 crossed the belt early in the week was
 generally regarded by the trade as one
 of the most severe ever experienced by
 the cotton region so early in october.
 Bullish traders considered the cold snap
 as marking the end of the growing sea
 son. Private reports from the belt toid
 of much damage, chiefly to undeveloped bolls.
 The net change for the week, which had only four trading days, owing to holidays, was rise of 77 to 97 points. Spot prices at their highest were 1b.eS cents a pound for middling, new high level in that department and the highest price in over half a century. This week the trade will be chiefly con- cerned at first with, the census bureau report on American mill consumption, which will be issued tomorrow. Follow ing that, full returns from the belt as to demage done by cold weather will pc watched. The longside believes the off cial weekly weather and crop accounts. due Wednesday, will be about the most bullish of any thus far this season. Toward the end of last week there were signs of increasing activity in the spot markets of the south and if this is car ried over into this week 1t may eventu- ally be the leading factor in the situa- tion.

Market ReUieW
Government Buying Only Source of Activity in Steel and Iron Liquidation Continues and Securities go to Lower Level-Cotton Goes Some Higher on Unfavorahe
 Weather, But Encounters Heavy Selling
IRON AND STEEL

New York. october l4.-steel manufac- turers and the war industries board have agreed on maximum prices for semi finished steel products for the rest of this year on all United States and all lied government orders and for the American public. The adjustment was made by mutual concessions.
 Government buying is the only source of activity at the moment covering barss plates, shapes, sheets, speciaities and machinery and prospective contracts for projectiles and small shells are estimated at s75O000,o0o to s1.0o0, .0o0. Steel re- quirements for ammunition manufacture
 in the next 12 months probably will not be far from 100000 tons Machinery needed to equip ordinance plants alone will cost upward of $25.000.0Oo. Shipyards and airplane engine makers are placing large orders for machine tools.
 Blast furnace interests in the east and south, as well as In the central west. are adjusting to new conditions as reflected in sales of about 50.000 toss of pig iron at the new base price of SS3 per ton for basic and for No. foundry iron at fur mace for this years shipment.

STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, October 14,-Prices clearly reflected further enforced liquidation in the four days of last weeks stock mar
 ket in every important branch, secur- ities falling to or under previous low levels of the year, for which various reasons were assigned. The most log teal of these was that new capital re- quirements of the government bear most heavily upon investors and holders of first-class securities.
 There seemed little reason, aside from this, for the heavy offerings of gilt-edged railroad shares. Many speculative ac- counts were closed out during the more in the midweek, considerable short cover l ing appearing later
 In the prevailing mood of the specu- lative element much pessimistic talk was heard regarding the future dividend poi 1 icy of railroads and industrial corpora tions. This was heightened by the unex- pected suspension of the dividend on Peoples Gas, which adversely affected that stock and allied utilities some 10 to | 20 points.
 | Plans now we'll under way by the rail- roads to renew their plea before the in- terstate commerce commission for higher | freight rates coincide with the demands
 of large proportion of railway em- ployes for increased pay.
 l Lower money rates and the Notation of the second liberty loan were followed | by an expansion of $95, ,000,000 in actua clearing house loans, an increase of $9S,- l 600,000 in reserves of the federal bank
 | for members account, an increase of al
 most $130, 00O, 900 demands deposits and g
 gain of SIS, ,5O0,000 in reserves.

GOVERNMENT WILL
 BOLSTER VALUES 0F GOOD BONDS

Washington, October 14-Treasury off, ficials, concerned over the downward tendency of the bond market as an out
 growth of liberty loan financing, have determined to take steps to check shrink age in gilt-edge bond values so far as consistent with governmental action and sound financing.
 To this end the comptroller of the cur
 rency tonight announced that he has in- structed all national bank examiners that they need not require national banks holding high-grade bonds of unques- tioned intrinsic value and merit to charge them down to present abnormal figures, but to exercise an Intelligent and con-
 servative discretion as to the prices at which the banks can continue to carry such securities.
 This action, it is thought. will tend to prevent undue tightening of the money
 market with the further decline of bonds, a process which, if continued, for con siderable period, might lead to heavy losses by investorssin in such securities and to the consequent detriment of the prop critics upon which they are issued Similar action was taken at the out break Of the European war when security values dropped precipitately to low rec | ords.
 1 For months past virtually all securities 1 have been steadily diminishing in quoted values- High-grade bonds of unques- | toned value at present are almost as | low, in many cases, as they were when | the New York exchange was closed in I the early days of the European war. Railroad and industrial bonds paying | per cent and in some instances 6, are selling at below par. situation virtu- I ally without precedent, with this single exception, in the history of the issue in- I volved.
 l Liberty bond financing has resulted in crowdng the bargain counters with these securities. Banks lending money on them as collateral have been constantly com pelled to reduce the amounts which they 1 could lend borrowers. The comptroller $ action, it is thought, will go far toward
 checking this tendency.
 'The heavy depreciation the comp troller's statement said, in the volume of securities generally, including those | of the very highestt grade is partly due l to the efforts of investors to sell other high-class securities for reinvestment 1T government bonds
