Cotton

An opening advance on the favorable
war situation was followed by declines
in the cotton market yesterday as a
result of realizing and hedge selling.
General business Was comparativei y
quiet, being restricted. probably, by
uncertainty as to the showing of the
government reports to-day. and the
tive to the selling for Southern ac-
count. December contracts eased off
from 1925 to 3259, and osed at 80 60,
with the general list closing bare v
steady at net advance of 46 to 80
points.
Much of the days business was at
tributed to the evening up of commit
ments in advance Of the government
reporrs, which are to be published this
morning. The report of the Census Bu-
reau showing the amount of cotton
ginncd to September 25 will be issued
at the opening. and the report from the
tion will appear an hour later This
will be the last condition report of
the season. but will be followed by the
governments final estimate of the crop
in Dec ember.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 7 to is points on renewal
OF Mondays buying movement, but
soon eased off. October was relatively
easy owing to the circulation of a
few notices and trade selling to undo
hedges against purchases of spots in
the South. There was also scattered
hedge selling in the later months. and
losses Of 80 to 68 points in the late
trading. Exports for the day were
10757 bales. making 5e8977 90 far this
season, against 842,141 last year.

Fix Special Rate
For Rediscount of
Bank Acceptances
Reserve Bank Announces
Step That Will Broaden
and Stabilize Market

Another step toward building up a
broader and more stable market for
bankers' acceptances was taken yes
terday when the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York announced the es-
tablishment for the first time of spe-
clal rediscount rates for paper OF this
character.
On the various maturities of bank
ers' acceptances the special redis-
count rates have been fixed as follows:
Maturltles uD to Is days. .4%5
Maturities, 16 to 60 days, incl .AA%
Maturites, 61 to 90 days incl. a 10
Accompanying the announcement of
the new rates this statement was is
sued at the Federal Reserve Bank:
lit is believed that the establish
ment of rates for the rediscount of
bankers acceptances. es distinguished
from other forms of eligible CONNER
clal paper under Section 13 of the act,
supplementing the open market trans
actions OF the bank in bankers ac-
ceeptances, will provide another useful
element toward the broader develop
ment and stabilizaton of the open
market in bankers acceptances.
Heretofore the rediscount rate of the
reserve bank for bankers accept
ances has been the same as the open
market rate on other forms of com
mercial paper. This rate has been
around AZ per cent. Under the new
arrangement the banks will be able
to ~ediscount their bankers accept
ances at the reserve institution at the
special rates, and it will be compul-
sorry upon the reserve bank to buv at
such rates the paper presented. A
banker described the new arrangement
as being similar to put" operation,
the Federal Reserve Bank in fixing the
special rediscount rates on acceptances
agreeing to accept all such paper from
the member banks at those rates.
The principal effect Of setting up a
special schedule of rediscount rates
for bankers acceDtances VIII be, it is
said t. broaden and stabilize the
market for paper of that class. for it
viii tend to make bank accep-ances
even more LIQUID an investment than
thev are at The nrosent time.
The New York Reserve Bank is the
first of the twelve federal institu-
tions to inaugurate the new rate
schedule. 1t is expected that the other
banks will, in time fal in line.
