row will say:
Industrial unrest Is still widespread,
new strikes number many thousands of
workers, the agitation over price condi-
tons continues, accompanied by numerous
seizures of food in warehouses or stores
and the prices Of many staples. especially
in speculative markets, are still unsettled.
On the other hand. however. there seems
to be rather less tension In the situation
as whole, the stock markets appear to
have reached something like an equi-
librium. the shipments strike. with all
that 1t involved in the way Of checking
the current of the countrys trade and in
dustrial life. has been called off, some OF
corn and hogs, has been aided by the bet
ter trend of crop reports and finally. the
great mass of trade reports, while TESTIFY
ing to the considerable unsettlement ruiz
ing particularly in markets for foods, are
almost unanimous in showing that dis
tributive trade in many lines has not been
greatly checked and, indeed. is OF a very
full volume for an ordinary quiet midsum-

FINANCES AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The same factors which overshadowed yester- days stock market, namely uncertain labor conditions and adverse exchange movements, were again to the fore to- day, but their influence was visibly diminished, the session closing with a strong undertone.
 Prices rose one to three points at the outset, but reacted that much before the end of the first hour, when labor advices became somewhat conflicting and remittances to France and Italy experienced another violent collapse.
 The market steadied at midday, probably as a result of the sharp de- cline in call money, which fell from it's opening rate to 5l9 per cent to 4 per cent, it's course thereafter being marked by confident buying of steels and equipments.
 Bethlehem steel led the movements at gain of almost five points, Cruci- ble, Lackawanna and Republic steels also moving up + to 8 points, while United States steel which had Jagged in the early dealing, made a fractional advance.
 Aside from speculative rails, the bond market was firm to strong, Lib erty 31ss selling slightly over par, the ! foreign group, including Paris 6s and | United Kingdoms, also hardening 1 Total sales, par value, were $11,250,- l 900. Old United States As declined l quarter per cent on call, others un- altered.

MESA COTTON GINS
 BEGIN IN EARNEST

MESA, Sept 17.--All of the Mesa gins will be in operation today. For several days past the Southwestern Cotton company gin has been at work while the Mccall and the Attaway- Phelps gins have been delayed awaiting the receipt of motors. These now have been installed and ginning will com mence in earnest at all three.
 Less than a dozen bales of cotton have been sold in the bale thus far, while perhaps 80 or 90 have been sold in the seed. The price paid in the seed is 19 cents per pound, while the ginned cotton is bringing 65 cents.
 Some of the growers are complain ing at the difficulty experienced in getting the cotton picked clean. not all of this however. being attributed to the picking, but partly to the wind storms of recent weeks carrying so much trash and leaves.
 Cotton is opening fast and a few days more will see the season in full swing.
