INSECT DAMAGE ID
 COTTON FEATURE
 DURING SESSION
General List Closed Very Steady at a Net Advance of 26 to 37 Points
 Over Friday

New York August 23-The cotton mar
 ket showed a generally steady tone this morning on reports of better busine ess in
 goods at first hands and continued nerv, ousness over insect damage to the crop
 October contracts sold up to 31.so and
 closed at 21.27, with the general list clos
 ing very steady at net advance of D to 37 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad.
 vance of II to IS points, and soon sold
 some 30 to S5 points above last nights
 closing figures. There was realizing for over a week and at this level which caus- ed reactions of several points, but the
 market firmed up again later with De
 cember selling at 162 and January at I3l55 The close was four to five points off from the best under profit taking Trading was very quiet during the en- tire morning. and the advance was attrin . uted largely to covering by recent sell CTS The further rally in sterling ex- change probably accounted for some Of this buying while continued crop com plaints from the south seemed to be ere ating rather more bullish opinion as to | the probable showing of end month conoi- ton figures which are expected next week These complaints for the most part were based upon insect damage. and the wet weather in the belt was regard ed as bullish owing to the prooabiiitV that it would lead to increased activity I on the part of insect pests. Reports rom l the goods trade reporting an increaseo business at first hands were regaroeo a, indicating small offerings by secono hands ar speculative holders at cut prices and some attention was attracted by ao- vices that Canadian wholesalers found demand for more goods during the neN' six months than were available.

Wanamaker's Forecast
2s.-(special.)-

Atlanta, August 23-(Speclal.)--- Watch the condition of the growing crop from August 15 to September l, and you will see record breaking de- terioration," says Skottowe Wanna maker, president of the American Cot ton association.
 "The cotton plant" he declares. "in it's present condition, cannot stand re- verses. Neither can we spin paper cot ton, bellies, or rotton cotton, which are included in published surplus fig ures which many bear spectators are using in their arguments and efforts to endeavor to keep prices down."
 It is pointed out by Wannamaker, while the bear spectators during most of the past week pounded prices down terrifically, that the recovery and up- ward trend of the market that de- veloped Thursday shows that the oppo-' nents of fair price to the producer profits at the expense of the> people who grow the staple. This is due to many reasons, chief of which are that the entire world is badly in need of the principal article produced in the sout, that its real value cannot--1ong be denied and that actually this years yield will be seriously short as com pared to previous seasons.
 Weather and labor shortage are two important factors. Also there was con- siderable less land devoted to cotton this season and abandonment of lands so planted has been the heaviest known in years, due to unusually heavy rains, grass, weeds and boil weevil. The re- cent statement issued by the asociation's executive committee urging the farmers to hold their product off, depressed market and to always sell it as slow ly as possible as the new crop comes on is declared to have brought good re- suits and assurances in general
 MT. Wannamaker says the producers are becoming thoroughly convinced that their cotton will this year bring better prices than realized for some time, provided they market the staple cautiously and hold as much as possi- ble for higher prices that are inexita- ble for higher prices that are inevita- record, he declares, also conyinces the cotton growers that they must act ac- cordingly and conservatively and de- clares that they will generally do so.

STOCK TRADING WAS.
 RESTRICTED DURING. SESSION YESTERDAY
Sterling Exchange Rise in Paris Was Contributing Factor to the Markets
 Improvement

New York, October 23.-Trading in stocks today was narrow and restricted, dealings making the smallest total week. end session since the early part of the year What the market lacked in ac- tivity and breadth. however, was largely made up in strength. even though the strongest features were speculative is- tfues which owe their prominence to pools and allied professional interests.
 Motors and associated specialties scored extreme gains of to IS points, oils, shippings and tobaccos rose 1 to and equipments, metals and several of the better known specialties finished at gains of l to 3 points.
 Rails were listless most of the brief session, but came forward towards the end, some of the coalers and secondary western and southwestern shares gain ing 1 to almost 2 points. For the sec ond time this year the weekly bank statement reported depletion of actual reserves, the deficit being slightly more than $S00,000 This exhibit is the more interesting because actual loans were contracted by almost $35,0 900.
 One of the factors contributing to the stock markets improvement was the fur ther strength of sterling exchange rates on Paris and Rome also rallying partially
 the slight irregularities in Liberty and International issues. Total sales, par value, aggregated s4,750,o00. Old U. S. bonds were unchanged on call during the week.

New Orleans Cotton.

Uy AtSottdtou Ftsss
 New Orleans, August 23.-The ten dency in cotton today was higher as the result of unfavorable weather in >tne western belt, but toward the end gains were reduced by realizing sales from the long side, so that the net results were a rise of only to IS points The passing of the amendment of the food control act, putting clothing In US provisions, by the House. was restrain ing influence on buying throughout the session but 1t did not arouse sufficient selling to put the market to net de- cline at any time.
 The weather map showed much ram in Texas, which private reports said was highly unfavorable to Che crop. Many messages came in stating that crop estimates for Texas were being reduced on account of the rainfall The opening was higher on these reports and the improvement continued until 1t amounted to 25 to 3S points. After the middle of the session the market lost it's headway and took on something of a reactionary feeling.
 Spots were unchanged and their fail ure to move brought about better parity with contracts. October closed at 3oSo and middling spots at 3o.75.
