IEN TIRE STOCK LIST ! HAS BOLSTERED UP
Rails Made Gains on News That Short Lines May
 Have Federal Control

New York, September 2s.-The grad ual advance in prices which began in the stock market at the termina- tion of he liquidation caused by the restriction of loans was resumed to- day at the point where it left off on Saturday.
 Opening with quotations fractional 1y higher, the market responded to steady buying. short covering and stim- ulating war news. Except for occa- sional profit-taking around midday. the progress was maintained through out the day and the closing was strong with a number of substantial gains
 The ready absorption of the stocks made available through the profit taking was an indication of the mar ket's strength, the recession furnish ing only a new level from which to start the upward movement again. The only notable exception in the for ward trend was the weakness of American Sumatra tobacco, which de- clined points.
 The investment railroads made im- portant gains, this strength being at tributed to the published indications that the railroad administration would take over the short line roads under contract, which would permit rate in creases. United States and Bethle- hem steels and Baldwin locomotive and other equipments prospered under the large buying orders. United State Steel reaching l11%, a new high in the present movement. <Studebaker, Gen. eral Motors. Peoples Gas and the oils made important advances also, Mexf- can petroleum attaining a new high figure of 1906& for the year.
 Liberal offerings of Liberty Bonds at concession of 30 to so points for certain of the 4s and 4Hs were com monly associated with preparations for investment in the new loan. Foreign war bonds were variable, with French government 5hs reaching a new high figure at 101A. Total sales, par value. $s,a00.00o

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 23.--A higher range of prices resulted in cotton today from a much more favorable opinion re- garding price fixing.
 Buying pressure was increased by tho cold weather in the belt, which was gen. erally taken to mean that the finishing toiiches were being put to crop damage resulting from three months of unfavora- ble weather. Highest levels were reached late in the day, when the trading months were 91 to 95 points up. The close showed net gains of e to 80 points.
 The opening was at the advance, partly on the low temperatures over Sunday in the belt, and partly to the stand taken by the governors of cotton growing states against government control of the mar ket. Buyers met only small offerings. In the early trading the rise amounted to 56 to n points. From this there were small recessions, owing to dullness, which set in during the middle of the day. Tn the afternoon telegrams from Washington and New York claimed that officials in Washington were denying that 25 cents had been mentioned as fair price for cotton and. on the strength of these re- ports new buying developed. The great est strength and activity came iate in the day.

Over Campbell & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, September 23.--(Spe- cial. .)--A stiff rise In the price of cot ton was brought about today, partly by the exceedingly cold weather over the belt and partly by much more favorable opinion regarding the price fixing situation. The opening was at the advance and the market held, it's improvement we'll throughout tho session, reaching its highest level late in the day. Following the report that Secretary Houston denied having said that the 25c was fair price for cot ton. the active months were sent 91 to 95 points above the closing quota tions of Saturday,
 Determined opposition to the move ment to control the market is grow ing over the entire south, the posi- tion being taken that the supply of cot ton is plentiful and will remain so as long as the war lasts, price fixing is not necessary as a war measure. Telegrams from Washington today were of such character as to indicate that the government has not contem- plated such a complete control of cot ton as certain dispatches last week claimed.
 N Cold weather covered the entire belt Saturday and Sunday and put the fin- ishing touches to three months of un- favorable weather conditions. good part of the belt has experienced tho coldest weather ever known in Sep- tember. It is too early yet to say what damage has been done. The market Is still unsettled and must remain so until there is a definite outcome to the proposition to regulate the mar ket.-Shepard & GIuck.

Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans, September 23.--There was no positive official news on the price, fixing situation over Sunday. General developments show campaign of en- hghtenment and defense by cotton inter ests. pointing out the essential difference in the situation between sugar, steel and cotton and the disastrous outturn, 35c, would leave but a moderate economic re- turn, to cotton growers over cost of pro- duction.
 Presidents of farmers unions, commits sioners of agriculture and directors of bureaus of markets of each cotton grow ing state meet at Washington in execu- tive session tonight.
 War news continues excellent and the Wall street financial reviews show e sound and strong situation in the coun. try.
 Weather conditions continue bullish While temperatures are somewhat high err over the west, they continue low over the east. There is no hope for late growth and in two days the period closes for the September bureau, which is ex- pected to show further decline in con- dition.
 K Private condition forecasts are expect ed this week.
 Liverpool showed the full decline sdua of 80 points.
 Our market opened 40 to 70 higher on a more confident feeling largely inspired by the bullish Wall street review and Washington news from representative bodies on defensive steps in the interest of cotton It is more generally believed that pessmism at the close of last week allowed tie market to drop below a consistent level There were some ner- vous reactions but on the whole the mar ket held well around BOG for December. It is being realized that it is one of the prime considerations to guard against ex- cesses which is so strongly indicated in government intimations to Wall street. =
