DOWNTURN HALTED,
COTTON YARNS GO UP
Better Attitude on Part of
Buyers Shown i'm Recent
Transactions.

PHILADELPHn, Sept. 2e.-Cotton yarn
prices in general moved up a trife to-
day. Large buying was not In sight, nor
did the sales reported even approach
average size, but enough yarn changed
hands to confirm what have been recent
Indications of a better attitude on the
part OF buyers and to put a decisive
check on any further price recessions
for the present at least.
In EOS and sos of both two ply skeins
and warps the change trend of prices
showed to best advantage. Sales OF
Southern two ply skeins 20s were re-
ported at IS cents a pound. with warps
at 6s cents. For sos as high as SO cents
was obtained for two ply skeins and So
cents for two ply warps
Hosiery yarns and carpet and uphol-
stery yarns were firmer, the former NOV
ing up a cent a pound.
Spinners have taken a much stronger
position during the last week, feeling
out the market for an advance, while the
mills are showing increased interest In
the yarn situation and there are indica-
tions that this attitude is spreading.

the cotton market firm tone. TIE
market advanced\130 to 40 points at the
high point Of the day. but lost some of
that gain in the last hour through real
izlng and a renewal of Southern selling.
The close was strong, showing net
gain OF lO5 to Is points. Bullish senti-
ment, strengthened by low crop and
ginning figures and reports of active
spot demand, checked the selling move
nent, and was responsible for the
strength at the close. The short In
terest which has been resisting buiges
OF the last week, was driven to cover
Yesterday. The stampeding Of the shorts
was in large way responsible for car
rylng prices to the highest levels reached
since August
The market was firm at the opening,
showing an advance of 80 to 81 points.
The news and sentiment was decidedly
in favor Of the longs. Liverpool cables
were strong early only to break on an
nouncement that the English railway
strike would begin Mt midnight. The
reaction following that move was only a
small one, as offerings were readily alb
sorbed, and the advance was only mo-
mentarily checked. Buyers found addi-
tional encouragement in private report
which placed the condition of the crop at
only 81 per cent. of normal, estimating
the abandonment in acreage at Az per
cent and the ginning prior to September

and that action helped the latest ad-
vance. Comparatively little cotton Of
