Industrial
Cotton

While comparatively quiet, the cot
ness yesterday and fluctuations were
irregular. The record breaking gin
ming returns, while regarded further
indication of short crop, also sug-
gested that large supplies of new crop
cotton were becoming available for
market and probably led to some sell
ing. But the pressure was by no means
aggressive, and the market was steady
TO firm during the late trading on buy
ing by Liverpool and the trade and
covering. After selling at 34.20c dur
ing the early session December broke
to 3355c, but recovered, closing at
33.9Sc. The general list closed steady,
net points lower to II points higher.
The market opened firm at an ad
vance Of 2 to AZ points on higher Liv-
erpool cables and covering by people
who had sold on last weeks announce
ment Of proposed War Industries
Board investigation. Nervousness over
the proposition seemed to be relieved
to considerable extent by reports
that in a telegram to Georgia man
President Wilson had said there was
no cause for anxiety over prices and
lhat the proposed investigation of the
War Industries Board was merely to
ascertain whether agreements would
assist in stabilizing the market. At
34.7oc for October and 34.15c for Janu-
ary the market met increased offerings
which came partly from the South and
led 10 sharp reactions during the mid
die Of the day. The Southern selling
was not active enough to encourage
aggressive offerings from other sources,
however, and after showing net losses
Of 40 to 48 points the market rallied,
with the close generally 2 TO 7 points
net higher.
The census report showed more cot
ton ginned prior to September l than
during any previous season on record.
The amount, 1,039,620 bales, compared
with 618,7S7 last year and the previous
high record of 85O.66S two years ago.
Heavy early ginnings are generally
taken as indicating drouth-forced ma
turity and short yield, but the bullish
view Of the crop had been fully recog
nlzed in the governments report of
last week, and many traders are look
ing forward to the rapid accumulation
of supplies in the South as a test of
the attitude among growers or hold
crs. Southern spot markets as Of
ficially reported were generally un-
changed. No exports were reported
yesterday.

In order to introduce dyestuffs into
China, where Germany before the war
supplied about 95 per cent of the
amount consumed, Consul NJ. f. Per
kins. at Shanghai, says it would seem
advisable for manufacturers in other
countries to adopt the German plan
of introduction. The foremost Ger
man house in the trade in Shanghai
was supplied with an unlimited guam
ment and allowed commission Of 90
per cent on all sales. In addition. the
manufacturers detailed chemists to
this firms office, who undertook to
demonstrate to the Shanghai company's
customers the various colors made. and.
in certain cases, to turn out sample
colors upon request.

Wheat. - The government report
showed an increase of about 2i,O00,-
GOO Bushels in the indicated yield of
spring. wheat, bringing the total in
dicated crop of both spring and win
ter TO $4,000, ,000, compared with S7S,-
100000 last month and a total crop
last year of 650,828, 900 bushels These
figures include only the three North
western states of Minnesota. the two
Dakotas and Washington, although re-
ports from number of winter wheat
states this season have indicated quite
marked increase in the acreage plant
ed to spring, wheat.
Receipts az Northwestern points are
increasing very rapidly and the total
receipts at primary points on Monday
were 4,444,OOO, compared with 1.091,
eco a year ago. The visible supply OF
wheat in the United States increased
7,19l 600 bushels for the week and the
total is now 56,0l2,000, compared with
5,6s0,OO0 a year ago. Large reserve
stocks are being built up, and it was
said that 25,00O.000 bushels Of wheat
will be placed in store in Minneapo-
lis to be held over into the next sea
son. This was thought to disclose the
policy of the food administration in
regard to creating a reserve against
any emergency which may arise in the
future.
Corn.-Accordng to the government
report the present outlook for the corn
crop is 2,672 900, 900 bushels, compared
with last months estimate of $3.50
100000 and the final crop last year
of 3,159000,0 900 bushels. This repre-
sents loss during the month of Au-
gust in crop prospects Of 317000,00O
bushels. While the loss is serious
one, it had been anticipated and. in
fact, the government figures were
rather larger than the trade had been
anticipating in view of the nature of
recent private reports. Kansas showed
the greatest loss, with condition of
only % per cent and an indicated yield
of 53,700,000 bushels, compared with
last years crop of 10000, 900
The market during the day was COM
paratively firm, closing with net gains
of 7sc TO / Mc. The advance was based
largely on fears of frost damage, as
temperatures in the Northwest were
down to freezing point.

Gently in record time at Harrison, put
there can be no doubt that every Dit

equally brilliant Fulton.
Dempsey's performance
favorably with the mighty smack Win
which Tommy Burns caressed
Australian brow of Australia Bun
SQuires when that worthy undertook
to show us Americans how 1t Is oone
In Australia. 1t Is reminiscent OF the
time when Gus Rubin thought he was
good enough to beat Tom Sharkey,
and almost turned a double somer-
sault from the fist of the famous
sailor in the first round. The COM
parsons are rather far fetched, put
the ending of the fight was fully as
impressive as the ending of that me-
morable meeting between Terry NC

when the flying fists of the demon
featherweight champion rained oil

Dempsey, say some, has proved that
he can fight, but hasn't proved h a
he can stand punishment. But gra-
cious goodness, a man that can fight
with such success as this bird has
been doing doesn't have to stand pun
ishment. He stops all punishment
with the same blow that stops his OPP
ponent.
The attack on Fulton was scientific
ally worked out and admirably accom-
plished. Dempsey knew he hadn't q
chance to outlook his massive and
swiftly-moving opponent. He knew
that Fulton also knew 1t. Therefore,
he planned his battle for a quick I'm
