DEALINGS WERE ACTIVE AND BROAD
 ON WALL STREET
Exchange on London and Paris Was Heavy, the French Rate Breaking Sharply During
 the Trading
By Associated Press

New York. September 7.-Develop- ments and general advices over the long holiday wAue savorably inter preted by the speculative element. judging from the early course of to- days stock market. Dealings were active and broad, but there was little to justify reports of any increase of public interest.
 Publication of the terms of the new French loan, which constitutes the largest financial undertaking of the year, the better statements of the fed eral reserve and clearing house banks and an increase in the dividend on Mexican Petroleum were among the propelling forces of the day.
 Announcement of the French nego- tiation confirms rumors of payment at maturity of the $500, 900, 900 Anglo French war Notation. This will be ac- companied by imports of the French account of a large amount of gold. some of which is already in transit.
 Far from reflecting this prospect Paris was heavy, the French rate breaking sharply. The rates to Bel gium. Spain and Germany also reacted while remittances to Argentina were more adversely affected by unfavora- ble trade conditions
 The local money market was fairly easy, most of the days call loans be- ing made at per cent with an ad- vance to eight per cent at the close. More time money was available for three months. d few loans running into next year.
 Industrials and specialties were main ly higher at the outset and during the intermediate period, oils, steels and equipments advancing later. Las weeks demand for rails fell off per ceptibly and selling for profits can celled many advances at their close. Railroad issues were again the most stable features of the bond market, the liberty group and internarionals earn ing from best quotations. Total sales, par value. amounted to 9.400,00
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call.

COTTON MAKES BIG LEAP UPWARD IN
 EXCITED MARKET
October Contracts Sold Up 195 Points, Which Was 28O Points Above the Low
 Record
sy Associated Press

New York, September 7-There was 8 sensationally rapid and excited advance in the cotton market here this morning. 195 points net higher and 2S0 points above the low record of last week. This car ried the price up to within five points of the maximum permitted for the day, which attracted more realizing, with october closing at 27.90c.
 The general market closed firm at d net advance of 145 to loo points. Owing to the celebration of the fiftieth ami varsary of the exchange, trading ended for the day at noon and covering on less favorable crop advices or unexpected firm cables, was doubtless hurried by the fact that it was only a half day session.
 The market opened strong at an ad- vance Of 90 to t35 points in response to the higher cables and reports of un- favorable weather over Sunday, The south was a seller here, but Liverpool Was an active buyer. while there was heavy scattered covering and there was no halt in the advance until active months showed net gains of 17o to l95 points late in the morning
 December contracts sold up to 26.50c, while January sold at 25.55c making re- ooveries of from 200 to 2S0 points from recent low records on the active posi- ton. Reports of a better spot demand were circulating late in the morning. but the higher prices attracted considerable realizing and led to reactions of l5 to i, points toward the close.
 Private cables attributed the advance in Liverpool to covering of shorts or less favorable crop advces and uncon- firmed rumors that q strike in the British coal mines might be averted An an- nouncement that woolen mills would be- gin to resume operations on Monday of next week had a favorable effect on sentiment around the ring particularly among brokers who were looking for q gradual revival of trade now that the summer holidays are ended.

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

shown by the fact that in the twelve months ending June 30 the United States exported cotton goods of the money value of three hundred and sixty four million dollars. Or to put these statistics in another form our cotton manufacturers were sending to other parts of the world an average of million dollars a day in the form of cotton goods.
 The war ended nearly two years ago and it was presumption that speedily the worlds demand Tor America cot ton goods would fall off. But our manu- lecturers, having entered he markets, have been able to keep them. As for instance in the year 1919 they exported cotton goods of the value of $232, ,000,- 900. In the twelve months which ended on June 30 of this year American cot ton manufacturers received three hun dred and sixty-four million dollars on account of exports an increase in a single year of hundred and thirty two million dollars.
 Those who are familiar with our ex port trade in cotton say that in all probability a greater quantity and 9 greater money value for the cotton will be exported in the fiscal year which began on July 1, greater even than the $1,000, 900 a day export of the past fiscal year.
 FIGURING IN MEASUREMENTS
 There is another way by which a good understanding can be obtained of the magnitude of the exports of the American cotton goods in the past fiscal year Measured by yards the total cotton cloth sent to other mar kets than our own in the last fiscal year was S67, 900. That seems all most enough to clothe the people of the world for a year. In the previous year our manufacturers sent out 507,- COG, 900 yards and in 1914 less than one half of the number of the yards which were exported in the fiscal year which has just ended.
 When it is borne Tn mind that in the year of the opening of the European war the best we could do in foreign markets for our cotton goods was S51, O00, 900, whereas six years later the rate was almost exactly million dol lars a day, then there comes full real ization of the magnitude of American cotton manufacturing and of the fine markets for new cotton which the planters of the south are certain to obtain.
 Cotton goods went far ahead with respect to exports of wooden goods for the money value of our exports of woolen goods was only 5000, 0O0 still this was considerable increase over 1914 for in that year American woolen goods brought only $5,000,000 to our exporters.

New York, September 7.-(Special)- New England is looking not anxiously but with much interest towards the south on account of the wonderful development of cotton manufacturing in the southern states. A director in one of the largest of the cotton mills of New England having met a day or two ago a friend from the south who was cotton mapufacturer, said to him: We New Englanders are getting interested and some of us are even a little anxious because it looks now as though the south had enough to hold their cotton back until New England manufacturers pay what it is worth"
 There seems to be an intimation that heretofore the New England cotton manufacturers have been paying to the southern cotton growers less than the cotton was really worth. However, it is apparent that there is to be cotton business enough for all. The cotton manufacturing industry of the United States is relatively speaking matching the cotton growing industry of the south. This is in part explained by the remarkable opening of the markets of the world to American cotton goods. This mastery of the markets has taken
 
 ble development of cotton manufacture in South America When Dr. John Bassett Moore, formerly first assistant Secretary of State, was in South Amer ica few years ago upon q diplomatic errand, he was astonished to learn of the establishment of cotton manufac- turing upon the west coast of South America. He had visible evidence of the growth of this industry because he saw number of manufacturories in operation. However, the South America cotton goods are of a differ ent quality and kind from those which are manufactured in the United States and almost all of them are marketed at home.
 The latest reports which tell of the cotton harvest of this year fixes the number of bales a little under thir- teen millions. If this estimate proves accurate and it is presumably not far out of the way. then planters of the south will harvest at least an average crop, although in the late spring the indications were that the crop would be partial failure.
