COTTON DECLINES
ON CROP REPORT
Early Advances Followed by
Reaction, but Market
Firms Up Again.

An early advance on rather smaller
ginning figures than expected was fol-
lowed by a decline in the cotton market
after the publication Of the Official crop
figures. These were about as looked for
in local circles. but seemed to bring in
the market frmed up again In the later
trading. December broke from 32.9Sc.
to 32.l5e. and closed at 32.Soc., with the
general list closing steady at net ad-
vance Of IL to 81 points
The market had rather an irregular
opening. first prices being points lower
to 10 points higher, but almost imme-
diately turned frmer on covering and
trade buying. The Census report showed
3.TIs,915 bales sinned prior to Septem-
Der rs, compared with 2.511.66s last year
and 4.0S1.sS9 bales two years ago. when
35.S per cent. of the total crop had been
glnned TO the date in question. Even al
lowing for the recent stoppage of gins in
Mississippi, Louisiana and North Caro-
lima, the figures seemed under anticipa-
lions and doubtless promoted the early
advance, which carried active months IS
to SO points net higher This bulge met
Increased hedge selling. which became
more active during the middle OF the day
Early buyers also seemed disappointed
that the Government reports had not
brought In more fresh demand. and
there was scattering liquidation on the
break, which uncovered stop orders, Oc-
tober sold 25 points net lower and later
months 40 to 55 points under last nights
closing figures in the early afternoon,
but trade buying checked the decline at
this level and there were good rallies
later on the continued favorable war
news.

PIERRE JAY SEES
PROBLEM IN LABOR
Federal Reserve Bank Chair
man Also Urges Concentrated
Effort in Winning War.

Pierre Jay, chairman or the board OF
the Federal Reserve Bank OF New York,
lays emphasis upon the subordination
Of private enterprises everywhere to the
needs of the Government and upon the
difficulties OF meeting the labor prob
lem. complicated by the extension of the
draft. In his monthly report on business
conditions issued yesterday. He says in
part:
I'm mercantile chanffs1s there has
been decided lessenins Of quantity and
variety Of goods available for civilian
uses, and merchants are increasingly
cautious. In the Industrial field, though
mounting costs Of production are mar
rowing profits, there Is general pros
pertty. Collections are reported good.
From manufacturing centres, both in
the northern part of the district and
In New York city and vicinity, there is
constant complaint OF shortage of un
skilled and semi-skilied labor. Com
munity boards composed of representa-
lives OF the Government, Of employers
and employees, respectively, are being
organized In the districts by the United
States Employment Service, and the
transfer Of labor to the more essential
occupations has already begun. Notwith-
standing handicaps, New York State
manufacturing plants show a gain OF
per cent In the number OF workers,
as compared with July 1917, the metals
group alone reporting a gain OF 10 per
cent The total wages paid were sc
per cent. above those OF July last year.
The banks Of the district and the
Federal Reserve Bank have during the
month shown increases in loans and in
vestments, due partly to seasonal causes,
including the movement Of the heavy
grain crop from the Northwest in part
to the heavy subscriptions to certificates
or Indebtedness in anticipation OF the
fourth Liberty Loan. and also to move
ment Of funds from this district to other
districts through the gold settlement
fund. Reports Of New York State saw
ings banks as of July /. 1918. show that
their deposits were somewhat larger
than on the corresponding date a year
ago. as dividends credited slightly more
than Offset a $72.o0o.00o excess Of with
drawals over deposits during the year.
The volume Of commercial paper out
standing continues approximately the
same as during August and the GUS
tomary rate remains at 6 per cent. Pre-
vailing rates for bank acceptances were
~ per cent. and for time paper secured
by United States bonds and certificates
~ to per cent Other time paper
rules at 8 per cent Six per cent. was
the prevailing rate for call loans on
mixed collateral. with the supply of funds
limited.
stock prices have tended slightly
downward and bond prices have been
fairly steady. Liberty Loan issues adj
vanced slightly. following the recommen-
dalton of the Secretary Of the Treasury

Copvrioht, 1918; all Stghfs reserved.

LONDON, July 15.-The Dolly MdH
to-day revives its offer Of $4,000
prize to the FIRST aviator to cross the
Atlantic from any point In the United
States, Canada or Newfoundland to any
point in England or ireland In seventy
two consecutive hours. The, offer was
suspended on the outbreak Of the war.
The Daily Maa says the action was
taken to stimulate the production Of
more powerful engines and more suit
able aircraft. 1t says editorially:
TT is rumored that there Is the pos
sibility of South American airmen at
tempting to fly over the Atlantic this
year. The Dolly MotI believes Night
from Newfoundland to Ireland or from
Newfoundland by way of the Azores
to England is just as feasible now as
many of the long distance flights which
have been accomplished since the war
began"
The distance from st. Johns. N. r..
to valentia, Ireland. Is about 1850
miles. The nrst offer OF the Dolly MAJ
was announced on April I. 1914,
Tho paper consistently has urged that
Il is possible to extend tho radius of
British bombing raids to Berlin and
other German cities. The accomplish
ment of a successful night across the
Atlantic would demonstrate that II Is
practicable for an airpiane to leave
England and reach Berlin and have a
good chance of returning unless inter-
copied by enemy airpianes.
II has been reported In aviation cir
Giles In London recently that n machine
has been constructed In the United
states for the purpose of attempting the
