LIQUIDATION STOPS
AND CORN TAKES
AN UPWARD DRIVE
Staple Closed 1902 lie
Up, While Oats Were in
Sympathy and Provi-
siOns on a Seesaw

Chicago, September 15.-Signs that for
the time being liquidation was at an end
brought about sharp rally today in
the corn market after new crop deliver
les had fallen to the lowest prices yet
this season. The close was strong, 1<Q2lsc
net higher, with September s1.S71z and
December 81 .2O1sG1. aoA. Oats finished /
d1ssc up, and provisions varying from
s.. so decline to 40c advance.
The day was almost half over before
bullish influences had any noticeable eff
feet on corn.
Notwithstanding reports that the steel
strike had been postponed, corn values
at first continued weak. dominated by
agitation for lower food costs Upturns
in the value of hogs were also temporar-
lily ignored. On the ensuing declines
in the corn market, however, offerings
passed into strong hands. Then shorts
scurred to cover, and during the rest
of the day the buying side was the fav-
orite. Gossip that Germany had received
American credits counted to some ex
tent as a bullish factor.
Oats swayed with corn. Considerable
ment that export business was a mat
ter of credits.
Seaboard buying of lard gave strength
to that commodity, but only partly over
came weakness of pork and ribs. /.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 15-While
there were small net declines in the MORN
ing session, after an initial bulge the
trend was higher in cotton today, mainly
as the result of the passing of the hur.
ricane over south Texas. Private reports
claimed that much damage had resulted
to the crop and they were responsible for
the srea~ Fart of the demand for con-
tests. Highest prices came near the close
when the trading months were Al to 81
points net higher; the close was A to
As net higher. The opening was at bet
ter prices but the initial advance Of "a
to q points was soon lost in fresh SELL
ing. which came partly from traders who
sold because of bearish inclinations and
accepted the hard spot as making them
a good selling basis and partly from
people who were impressed by a private
condition report of SIS per cent of the
normal, showing deterioration for the
half month of only about three points,
The market was carried off until all OF
the rise was lost and the advance re-
placed by decline of to IA points under
Saturdays close.
Around midday better tone was &C.
quired on accounts from the eastern bell
of higher spot basis and the active
months again mounted to net advance
Of about 81 bale. Buying toward the
end was due to expectations Of further
reports of crop damage by the storm to-
morrow morning.

FOREIGN DEMAND
SHOWS AN INCREASE
FOR FLEECY STAPLE
Effect of Tropical Hurri-
cane Along Texas Coast
Also Was a Big Mar
ket Feature

New York, September 15.--Reports of
an improving demand and uncertainty
as to the effect of the storm in Texas
cotton market today. December sold
off to 2SSsc during the earlier trading
but advanced to 2s.soc and closed at
2s.27c, with the general list closing
steady at net gain of As to IS points
There was a feeling during the earlier
trading that the tropical storm had
passed inland over the Rio Grande val
ley and disappeared among the Mexi-
can mountains without causing any Sc
rious damage to the crop unlescs it was
in the restricted areas. After opening
steady at an advance of IS to % points
in response to unexpected firm cables
the market eased off under this view
of the weather, while local pressure
also found announcement in reports of
considerable southern hedge selling
Prices weakened in consequences, with
October selling off to 2S.45c and Janu-
airy 2S.70c or about unchanged to IL
points lower, but there seemed to be
more trade buying than recently and
the, market turned firmer during the
middle of the day.
Reports that some of the New Or
leans map readers feared the storm
would recurve in a manner to pass
through north Texas and Arkansas led
to covering, while there was also buy
ing on reports that high winds and
heavy rains had damaged crops over a
wide area in Texas. Buying by houses
with Japanese and continental connec-
tons helped the rally which carried
October up to 5000 and January to
29.S0c in the late trading, or about
81 to 50 points above Saturdays closing
figures. A southwestern authority
makes the midmonth condition of the
crop SIS against 60.7 toward the end
of August. Early reports that the
threat tened steel strike had been post
poned were denied but the trade had
rumors late in the afternoon that Ger
many had established credits for the
purchase in American commodities.

Shannon & Cn,sI.eitrr

New York. September 15.-The action
OF the market today suggested to close
observers a sold-out condition, and in
our opinion not only is that the case,
but there is also large sleeping short
interest that will have trouble in cover
ing IL the spot demand is as reported,
begins to pick up. Rumors continue that
foreign credits have been arranged for
the purchase of various raw materials,
and though these are generally denied,
1t is believed that some such movement
is on foot. and that definite announce
ments will follow Immediately on the
ratification of the peace treaty.
There has been extensive buying recent
ly of foreign exchange as an investment,
and this Is likely to increase with any
further declines. Texas advices reported
heavy damage over wide area around
Austin by wind and rain, and there is
still a possibility that the storm may
change it's course and come back through
part of the belt. The Texas Farmers
union estimates the crop of that state
at 100000 bales, without linters, and
says the weevil are still at work. No
exports were reported today. The mar
ket looks as if on the edge of a sub
stantial recovery to which it certainly is
entitled and will get it if not checked
by increased hedge selltng.-Fost Il

Over Private Wires
". E. Campbell & Co.'S Cotton Letter

The writer has just returned from a
trip to New Orleans and finds the crowd
all bearish and short to man.
Now since the storm has passed into
the southern portion of Texas, with
damage reports creeping through as the
wires are put in working order. we nat
urally see just how the market is giHt-
ted with shorts.
As matter of fact the marxe, today
showed a better understone with reports
of improved spot demand from all spot
centers, and we can only feel that our
friends should line themselves on the
long side of the market as the bears
are going to try to worm out if they
can.
We trust our friends will conhne them
solves to the long side of this market,
as we feel that within a very short time
these prices will look cheap
Our advice to You is send in your buy
ing orders as We fel reasonably certain
we have seen the low for some time to
come.-W. L, Campbell & Co.
