Wall Street Drifted Back Into a
 State of Dullness Yesterday
By JOHN c. MOSES


 With the exception of pool activity on lew special issues the stock market was dull as a whole. United States Steel and Its related stocks crept slowly up- ward steel selling at 110A, as compared with 10934 earlier. Activities of specuIa- tive pools contributed to larger gains elsewhere Liberty 315s advanced and otner United States issues overcame earlier recessions. Prices moved narrow " In the final hour, the bulk of the dealings centering on the equipment is- sues. American Steel foundry advanced nearly 5 points. The closing was firm. Final prices on Liberty Bonds today were: 314s, 100.62; first convertible 4s, 954; second 4s, 95.64; first convertible 4As, 95.S6; second convertible 4ls, 95.69; third AS, 95.96.

CHEERFUL FEELING OVER PRICE FIXING
 STEPHENS COTTON
UnfavOrable Weather in the South and Higher Liver pool Also Plays Into the
 Hands of the Bulls

New York, September 26.-The cotton
 more cheerful feeling over price fixing
 possibilities. unfavorable weather in the
 south and higher Liverpool cables. The
 general list closed steady at net ad-
 vance of S2 to 67 points.
 The opening was firm at an advance of
 52 to 9T points with December selling
 at g. soc and January at 32. .35c. on the
 call. Buying was encoura ged by the firm
 ness, of Liverpool prospects for lower
 temp pcratures in the southwest and ap-
 prehensions that rains in the eastern belt
 would lower the grade. The advance of
 about 150 to 1S5 points from the low
 level of Tuesday attracted a good deal of
 realizing, however. and prices worked off during the middle of the day in conse-
 auonce. At 32.03 for December and 3l.S0 fo.' January, offerings were well absorbed with part of the buying attributed to brokers operating for the French com mission, presumably to fix prices on call cotton. This steaded the market and tfere were rallies during the afternoon with December closing at S214c and Jan uary at 3l.96c. The private report pub lished this morning indicated little change in the condition of the crop in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana and that larger percentage had been picked than last year.
 The statement issued by Chairman Brand of the committee of distribution late yesterday, seemed to have made very favorable impression on sentiment, and there was more discussion of crop prospects and other trade features dur ing today's session. The next government crop report is scheduled for publication next Wednesday and a number of private reports are looked for within the next few days to give line on it's probable showing.

cotton exchange yesterday. Price fixing possibilities, unfavorable weather in the south and higher Liverpool cables all played into the hands of the bulls. The general list closed steady at 8 net ad- vance of 32 to 67 points. Trading was quiet during the early afternoon and the market showed little further change, rul- ing around 32.20c for December, and S2O2c for January, or about 40 to 50 points net higher. Crop conditions have not inl- proved much in any of the cotton belts. The next government report is due next Wednesday.
 Announcement that the government will restrict grain dealers profits sent corn down early in the session. Enlarged re- ceipts are also expected in the future. Heavy sales to the government keep oats well up in spite of corn weakness. and a tendency to follow it's ally. Announce ment that minimum price would be fixed on hogs sent up provisions.

STOCK TRADING WAS
 DULL EXCEPT WITH FEW POOL CLIQUES
U. s. Steel and Allies Crept Slowly Upward, the For mer Closing Steady, at
 Ill IA in Final Hour

! New York, September 26--A stock mar ket of comparative dullness today was virtually devoid of feature except for pool activity concentrated on few special issues.
 This buying, which became very marked in the afternoon session, was noteworthy in American Steel Foundries. Baldwin Locomotive, American Car, American To- comotive, Railway Steel Spring. Early heaviness, which had it's inception in sharp decline in the Mercantile Marine issues after their period of initial strength, influenced profit taking sales elsewhere. but the reaction met speedy check when indications of support appeared for United Sts-cSs Steel. That stock, after relapsing almost a point to 109s4, forged ahead steadily and ended at 11144. Sym pathetic strength developed in other por- tions of the list and the session closed with a general upturn in progress.
 The good war news accentuated the rally and the professional element who sold stock earlier were disposed to retire outstanding contracts when it became ev- ident buying of forceful character was going on in spots. A rapid upturn in the Liberty Bonds, coupled with further ad- vances in foreign issues. notably Paris 6s, which resched a new high figure at g724, also had a beneficial effect on gen. eral sentiment The buying of the equipl ments was generally ascribed to prospects of largely increased earnings in connec- tion with pending contracts.
 The general bond market moved nar- rowly and uncertainty. Total sales, par value, $,775.00o.
 United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call, but the registered As advanced Y of a point on sales. M

Over Campbell & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, September 26.-Higher prices In moderate way, ruled in cot ton today, the market responding to the continued better feeling regarding gov ernment regulation and to unfavorable weather in the belt. The opening was at the advance and the improvement persisted all day, highest levels being Al to 51 points up. Late in the day Oc- tober, which was the strongest month In spite of talk of tenders, was 51 up.
 Dispatches from Washington today claimed that all officials are disclaim- ing any intention of interfering with the market or of fixing prices. It is now said that the purchasing committed just appointed by the war industries board, will not buy any cotton at all. but will merely supervise the distribution of the crop, and above everything will see that consumption of the low grades is in- creased. It will more properly be a committee of distribution than a pur- chasing committee. Reading between the lines 1t would appear that great change in consumption has como about in Wash. ington.
 Two much rain fell in tho cotton re- zion over night and following closely the rains Is cold wave which prom ises to be intense enough to bring frost to Oklahoma and the northwestern DOT tion of Texas. This looks like more dam- age to the grade.
 We think the market will respond read fly to buying orders in the near future. especially if Washington news continues O, the same tenor as today. There are signs that spinners are getting ready to take hold in the spot developments If the situation settles down to something like the normal. .
 Closing prices were about on a level with last nights final, but the market has a very steady undertone and we would not be surprised to see advance tomorrow Shepard and Gluck.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. September 26.-- Liverpool advanced unexpectedly today. sending buying orders here during the opening hour and absorbing the hedge selling. This demand did much to relieve the market. as our American spinners are waiting for further advices from Wash ington. Confidence is being slowly re stored, though the local feeling remains bearish, as no active demand has ap peared excepting this from Europe, which they do not think will continue They expect further hedge selling on every improvement, which will be more than the market can take. Little at tention was paid to crop advices or to the wsather.-Hubbard Bros. q Co.
