Gratifed

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 23.-The go

dealing with the signing of the com
mcrcial agreement between Denmark
and the United States, notes with the
greatest satisfaction that the American
promise of supplies will. to a great
extent, alleviate the unemployment sit
uat'on. Representatives of the various
trades unions were asked by the news
paper what the effects of the agree
lnent likely would be. The answers,
which are printed to-day, are all ex-
presslve Of qualification and the hope
that the supplies will come soon.

Freight Board said the board had mad
all arrangements in view of the new
situation. The necessary tonnage al
ready was available to bring foods to
Denmark, he added

wanted daily. The quantity promised,
therefore. was half the actual needs.

that agreement between Denmark and

was understood in the financial district
yesterday that steel men at their CON
ference last week with the War In
dustrics Board wcro told that an ad
vance of 81 ton for basic and foundry
pig iron and 25 cents ton for orc had
been allowed. In addition, the basic
POINTS for iron sales were understood
to have been changed from f. o. b.
furnace to Pittsburgh and birmingham.
Basic iron, according to the reported
agreement. will be $33 a ton from Oc-
tober ! to December 81, and foundry
will be $3A 1t is said that the change
in the basing point will add several

Cotton

The cotton market recovered the

has not yet been settled. Washington

of the Department Of Agriculture, as

end Of last week. That delivery closed

Southern selling of the late months,
supposedly against sales of spot cot
ton late on Saturday. The offerings
from this source, however. were Just
about offset by trade buying, which
was accompanied by reports that spin

ing a net advance of from 56 to so
points, the market eased off under
scattering liquidation, but Grmed up
again, showing increased activity and
confidence in the late trading. The

renewal of Southern selling
There was still much nervousness
over the 'price-fixing proposition that
other factors attracted little or no
attention. On the whole, however, re-
ports from the spot market were bull
lsh, suggesting that the price fixing
rumors has failed to disturb materially
Southern holders. Buying was also
encouraged by the continued low tenn
peratures in the South, but rather a
more cheerful light was thrown on the
crop prospect by the report of promi-
