SPOTS WILL NOT
 FOLLOW DECLINE
As Result a Sharp Rally Takes Place in the New
 York Market

l New York September 6.4Reports that southern spot holders were refus- ling to follow the decline seemed large | ly responsible for a further sharp rally
 in the cotton market here today. Nerv lousness over the price fixing talk seemed to have almost entirely disap- peared, and October contracts sold up from 3S.70c to 34.70c. or 95 points above /, last nights close, and 19O points above yesterdays low level. The general list closed barely steady at a net advance l of "A to 37 points.
 ! The opening was irregular, but very
 much better than due on the cables, with first prices points lower to , points higher. The absence of southern
 selling tended to confirm reports that southern offerings were withdrawn on
 the decline late yesterday and the mar
 ket soon showed increasing strength
 on trade buying. covering and rebuying by sellers of yesterday,
 1 The advance was held in check for a
 time by improved crop accounts from the southwest, while some of the local bulls were also disappointed by the | British ocean freight allotment for Oc- tober. This was said to aggregate 150-
 900 bales compared with the Septem-
 Der allotment of 160.000, but offerings
 were readily absorbed and during the
 early afternoon active months showed II ret gains of % to 91 points with De-
 cember selling at S4.15c and January
 at 34c, or just about cents per pound
 above yesterdays low level These prices attracted realizing and there
 were rather sharp reactions later in the
 day, when sentiment seemed to be in- Ifiuenced by the action of the stock mar ket and reports that banking interests
 were discouraging any expansion of loans or the tieing up of funds pend- ing the Notation of the Liberty Loan. | December closed at 3S.54c and Janu-
 ary at 33.42c. Port receipts, 1s,147; United States port stock, S35,SSS.

New Orleans Cotton

l New Orleans, September 6.-Consider able strength was shown by cotton in l the early trading today. but in the aft ernoon the early improvement was pared down. Last prices were at a net gain for the session of 3S to 53 points. Buying was encouraged by the con- tinued rains over the belt, low tempera- lures in the northwestern portion and a much easier feeling regarding price fixing. Opening at the advance, the mar ket mounted easily until it stood 9S to l112 points above yesterdays close. No selling of consequence was encountered during the morning.
 The weather map was wet, and while there were claims from some sections of the cotton region that the moisture was beneficial, nervousness was ap- parent among shorts over complains of | indusry to the grade of open cotton. The lower temperatures in parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Tennessee were accepted by bullish traders as confirm ling their predictions of an early fall. I Technically the market acted strong ! CT than for some time past, especially ! in the morning. In the afternoon it felt
 what appeared to be fresh long liquida-
 tion under which it did not stand up well.

Sugar Allotments Cut

Paul Earle, county food adminis- trator, has made a 10 per cent cut cut in sugar allotments for all con- cerns using over 1000 pounds a month. Instructions came from State Food Administrator Hobbie at Mont gomery. This ruling affects the man ufacturers, bottlers. soda founts and other firms that would use over 1000 pounds of sugar during the month of September, and a little over that per cent on allotments exceeding 5000
 George R. Wright, chief of the sugar division. explained the neces- sity for this measure by giving the figures of the allotments for the pre- vious months and those for Septem- Der. MT. Wright stated that the Sep tember allotment for Alabama was 1,6O0,000 pounds less than the July allotment. He also stated that more applications had been filed for sugar in September than in July or Au- gust, and that if all the applications were filled out that it would require about 100000 pounds more than the Alabama allotment.
 On allotments under 1000 pounds there will be no cut, as most new statements are for over 1000 pounds,

STRENGTH IN CORN WAS DEVELOPED
Oats Sided With Its Ally, While Provision List Went
 Down Grade

Chicago, September 6.-Corn developed noticeable strength today, influenced more or less by scarcity of contract supplies in store here. The market closed firm ssc to Ac net higher, with October sl.5Sls and November s1.sss4@1. .567s. Oats gained shade to isc. In provisions there was loss of 25c to s1.
 Reports showing that the stock of corn in Chicago elevators contained only 1S4.ceV bushels or contract grade put the bears at disadvantage from the outset Frosts last night in Michigan and western Ne braska tended also to stimulate demand. as heavy rains of late and the unseason- ably cool weather were said to have hin- dered the new crop from maturing. East ern millers and commission houses with southwestern and Omaha connections were conspicuous buyers. A reaction which took place during the last hour was due to realizing.
 Oats were upheld by the strength of corn. Most of the trade was local.
 Slowness of cash demand led to sharp liquida tion in pork and ribs Both staples underwent a maximum setback. Lard displayed relative firmness owing to a moderate call for spot.
