FINISH is SO A BALE UP

The cotton market was yesterday IT.
regular, but Its late trading was con-
sIderably stronger and the close was
at h net advance OF SO to as points.
There were not a few, factors OF bullish
Importance. but only one OF them seemed
to have potentlality, and that was re-
ports from New orleans that the tropi-
cal storm Off the Western Bahamas
probably would reach Florida and the
Gulf States Tomorrow. That report was
the cause of broad covering move
fnent, which rallied the list substantial
ly. Although tho Census Bureau re-
port on ginning indicated very bullish
figures. they had been discounted al
most entirely and naturally had little
II any effect.
The amount ginned prior to September
1 was placed by the Census Bureau at
only 1898 bales, an Indication OF the
latest crop on record. More than a
million bales were glnned in the same
time Of 1918 and 614,7S7 during the
same 1917 period. The number OF
round bales included so far this year
is 1929 against 53,17S in 1918 and
23,716 during 1917. Sea Island bales
were 30 in number against 296 In 1913
and R,s3s In the last previous year.
The weather map was yesterday again
bearish, precipitation being small.
heaviest at New Orleans where SO was
recorded. Liverpool cables came dis
tinctly better than as due, but slumped
in later dealings, closing sharply lower.
A better spot business. however. wa.
reported in the British centre. Brokers
operating for those interests were not
particularly active here. In fact the
market as a whole was more or less dull,
with professional shorts the most
prominent.
The local opening was Irregular, first
prices being 80 points higher to is lower
There was q good deal OF unsettlement
after the start. but the list went
momentarily higher on the poor ginning
returns. The irregular swings taken by
the quiet foreign exchange market at

Trading up to the last hour was within

PRESSURE ON RAILROAD.
Reason Given for Failure 10 Pay
Interest on G. r. Pacific.

MONTREAL, Sept SIT is believed
here that the failure of the Govern
ment to pay the debenture interest to
the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, due
September Lin London. is not an indica-
ton that the Government does not in
tend to recognize a liability toward the
debenture holders, but that it is merely
means of bringing pressure to bear
upon the Grand Trunk for the settle-
ment of the deal for taking over the
parent railway.
The action, or inaotion, of the Gov
ernment is, however, particularly hard
on the investors, for 1t Is obvious that
the Grand Trunk. having already lost
all control of the Grand Trunk Pacific
Railway. cannot possibly provide funds
to pay its interest charges; and con-
sequently the debenture holders are al
lowed to fall down between two stools.
The incident is particularly unfor-
tunate, coming Just after the reopenine

WILL PROBE WAGES
IN CLOTHING TRADE
Workers and Employers to
Conduct Joint National
Investigation.

A Joint Investigation into wage con-
dltions in the chief clothing markets of
the country will be started some time
this month by tho Analgamated Cloth
Ing Workers of America and the Ma
tionai Industrial Federation of Clothing
Manufacturers as the result of confer

here. ..
The investigation will be conducted by
committees of manufacturers and union
men, the former headed by Earl Dean
Howard and the latter by Sidney HiliA
man.
In some quarters 1t is considered
likely by those in close touch with de-
velopments that radical changes will re-
suit in many branches OF the industry,
and 1t is even projected by some that
the ultimate outcome will be a wage In
