COTTON TRADERS
 STILL WATCHING
 TROPICAL STORM
The General List Closed Stead vat a Net Decline of , to 15 Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, September 13.-Uncer- tainty regarding the development of the tropical storm was the dominating ia tor in the cotton market again to- day. An early decline under southern selling was followed by rallies, with December selling up from 2S.e7c to 29.10c. but the advance was not main tained. December closed at 2S.8Gc, with the general list closing steady at a net decline of to IS points.
 The market opened at decline of three points to an advance of seven potnts and sold about II to Is points net lower right after the call under pressure, which seemed to come chlet- ly from southern sources and was sup posed to represent hedges against business in spot cotton late yesterday. Otherwise selling was restricted by the storm situation and as soon as early offerings were absorbed the market advanced on renewed covering for over the weekend.
 October sold up from 2S.50c to 2S.S5c and January from 2S.60c to 23c fol- lowing reports that hurricane warn ings had been issued for Houston to- night There was scattered realizing at these figures, however, and later fluctuations were irregular. with fast prices showing reactions of about 30 rQints from the best.
 The tropical storm appeared to De near the Texas coast, but the trade was left in uncertainty as to it's in- tensity and further course. The census report showing domestic mill consump- ton of 502,536 bales for August. against 5o9,793 during July and 534.971 last year. was fully up to expectations but was not considered an immediate market factor, as the course of the market early next week was expected to depend chiefly upon storm develop ments.

CORDOvA

Cordova, September 2.-(Special. )-Al bert Staggs, one of Cordovas we'll koung men, died suddenly at the home place at an early hour Friday morning. He had been complaining for several months, and but recently returned from the hospital n Birmingham. No one had any antici- patton that he would die so suddenely. The funeral services will be held Satur- day.
 The important information has reached here that Birmingham capitalists have rained control of the Oak Leaf coal mines, one mile north of Cordova, and have already begun to develop them. The new owners are said to be Walter Moore and Charles Rice. These mines were operated few years past, but through alleged mismanagement\ the company was thrown into bankruptcy. new spur track will be laid adjoining the DeBardeeben interests at the mouth of Cane ceek, that the new company may ship both by water and rail The contract for grading has been
 let and work will be under way in a few days, and it is confidently believed that this new company will be shipping coal within 90 days, The old houses will be repaired and new ones built, and Superintendent Griffith will soon move to Cordova and superintend the build ing of many new ones. This developme ent will mean big things for Cordova, as the payroll will mean an addition of some thing near $1O,0O0 per month.
 Watch Cordova grow is the slogan of this enterprising place. Plans are al- ready under way to form an organiza- ton in which each member pledges to build at least one house for rental. Evi- dently it will be but short time until the sound of the saw and hammer will be music to the people of this town.

Cotton Goods Review
By Associated Pres

New York, September 13.-Cotton goods markets have ruled generally quiet and rniIle are showing a better disposition toward trading for future delivery at some of the lower prices reached on print cloths. sheetings and other finished fab rics. Expectations of larger production are more general now that the vacation season is over. but there also are rum- blings in some sections of further wage demands to be pressed before Decem- ber. when the present wage agreement expires.
 Prices named on dress ginghams for spring delivery were higher than the government levels, but not quite as high as some buyers anticipated. The ging- ham mills are securing product of nearly third below the prewar normal and are unable to deliver as many goods as buyers are ready to take at the mar ket price.
 A similar condition exists in denims and other colored cloth. Unbranded bleach cottons have been easier in sympathy with the decline in unfinished cloths. The trade Is fearful that the unafavorable cotton reports would be followed by sus- tained high prices for the staple. and mills using longer and finer staple are doubtful of their ability to get what they need at workable values.

Coffee Market
 Bv Axsoriafsd prrxs


 New York, September 1s.-An irregu- lar opening was followed ry ran es in the market for coffee futures today First prices were points lower to 5 points higher and December sold at 14.s0c on the call. which made new low ground for that delivery.
 Vhe rally in Santos futures, however, served to stimulate covering after the big break of earlier in the week, and prices soon turned frmer with Decem- Der selling up to 15.55c or 75 points from the lowest and 56 points net higher. Clos ing prices were off from the best under realizing, but showed net gains of S3 to g points. Closing bids: September, Is .98c; October. 15. 7Sc; December, 15. 3sc, January, 15. 33c March, 15.2Sc; May, 15.1Sc; July, 15.35c.
 Spot coffee dull; Rio Is, 1sh@16Ec; Santos As, 26c.
 Firm offers reported in the cost and freight market were still more or less irregular, the lowest being at 2S1sc for Santos 4s and 16.soc for Rio Is. London CT edits. Resides are said to have been made at lower figures.
 The official cables showed decline of 1900 reis in the Rio spot market and of 800 reis in the Santos spots as compared with the last quotations received. but Santos futures were 325 to 525 reis higher

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 13.-Only mod crate advances resulted from continued hurricane warnings in the cotton mar ket today. and the announcement from the local weather bureau that the storm was passing inland over Louisiana to the west of the mouth of the Mississippi river did not bring a sustained advance. as last prices were points off to 4 points up net Late in the session, fol- lowing the bulletin concerning the course Of the storm, prices went to their high est, where they stood at net advance of 31 to 46 points, but a little later the most active months were at a net de- cline of points.
 Fluctuations were irregular and uncer- tain all the morning. The opening saw a rise of about a quarter of a cent on the strongest months, but this was quickly wiped out and replaced by a net decline of points. Nervous advances carried the market upward again on two occasions, but all bulges were met by realizing sales from the long side
 The census bureau report on American mills for August was considered disap- pointing because it showed only small consumption. No selling of consequence, however. resulted from the statistics.

 Washington. September 12.-While generally approving the army reor- ganization bill. Major General w. N. Wright commander of the Sixty-Ninth division in the Argonne and St. Mihel offensives. questioned today before the Senate military committee the general staffs recommendation for an army of 570.000 in peace time, as he consid- cred an army of that size unnecessary If universal military training were adopted
 He proposed a plan to organize the men trained under the universal ser vice plan into a reserve army with ex- isting units instead of releasing them entirely, as provided in the bill. He opposed the plan to establish a sep arate chemical warfare service and suggested that it be placed under the direction of the artillery, as gas is used principally in shells.
