New York. Sept. 81.
TIL cotton market opened firm at an
advance of 4 to- I points and continued
strong after the opening on commission
house buying, influenced by strong
cables. the favorable war news and
heavy rains in parts Of the central and
eastern belts.
The undertone was also affected by
spinners' callings, both domestic and
foreign.
Thu early advance carried prices As
to SIS points above last nights closing
figures, with October selling at 1920
and last January at $3.50. In the case
of January contracts, this made a recov-
cry of a cent inc one-half per pound
from the low level of Tuesday.
The feature of the advance was the
buying of brokers believed to be operat-
Ing for the French Commission. which
was supposed to be fixing prices on call
cotton. This demand tapered off during
the middle of the morning, while there
was scattered southern selling, followed
by a reaction of several points.
The receipts at the ports for the day
are estimated at $4,000 bales, against
20,514 bales a week ago, 1926 bales a
year ago n 53,617 bales two years

Financing by Pennsylvania
Corporations

Harrisburg, Sept. 27.-In cooperation
with the United States Government. a
plan has been devised by the Secretary
Of the Commonwealth, Cyrus T.. Woods,
whereby national authorities will be ap-
prised of incorporation of companies

plan has been worked out as a result
some time ago.
When application is made for letters

given of the desire to the national Gov
eminent, that only capital that is es-
sential should be invested. and the same
course will be pursued when the return
Of a corporate election on the question
of increase of stock or debt is filed. The
facts of the application, or return, are
then sent to Washington.
Under the law, II the charter appli-
cation is proper. the letters patent are
issued an dthe notice Of increase filed.

CITY improvements that we cannot hope
for nov could bc made cur public
