Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New York, September 17.-More fav- orable weather in the south and unset tied trade conditions have been reflect ed in reactions from the high prices touched toward the end of the last week in cotton market.
 According to local brokers, however the selling has been as agreeable or aggressive as it was on declines toward the end of August and rallies have been more frequent.
 The latter are supposed to have been due to slightly more optimistic feel ing as to the possibility of an early revival in the goods trade, and notwith- standing the better weather, com plaints from the new crop have been more numerous, particularly with ref erence to insect damage. Fresh buying on these features have been checked by the continued uncertainty of the British labor situation, while there is still a feeling among many traders here that increasing new crop receipts will bring greater pressure upon the southern spot markets. The refusal of the federal reserve board to grant the request of representatives of cotton growers for extraordinary credits to aid in financing cotton led to tempor- ary depression, but there was not much selling on that feature, as it was contended that the market was already discounting continuation of tight money.
 On the other hand, local bulls em- phasiZed reports from the south that cotton farmers were in a strong posit- ion, and that southern banks were in tending to advance IS and 20 cents a pound on cotton. At various times dur ing the week there were rumors that spots were offered on a tenderable bas- is as compared with October contracts
 little was heard of possi ble shipments. On the contrary there were reports that a good part of the small certificated supply already here was to be shipped out and there was another furry of covering by near month shorts toward the end of the week. The census showing domestic mill consump- tion of 4S3,193 bales was rather under the forecasts but had little apparent in- fluence on the market Midmonth con- dition reports have ranged from 57 to 66, indicating deterioration of about seven points on the average.

WALL STREET BACK

Oils Were Dominant Issues, Mexican Petroleum Leading at a Net Advance of Ten
 Points
By Associated Press

New York, September 17.-Wall street celebrated its recovery today from the shock of yesterdays mysterious ex- plosion by an active day in the stock market. Sales approximated 900, 900 shares, the largest turnover in many weeks, and gains as determined among leading issues extended from to 10 points.
 Collateral conditions continued measurably to the markets activity and confident undertone. Money rates con- tinued relatively easy; foreign ex- change made a further rally from the early days of the week and generally was of favorable if not wholly con- structive character.
 The long deferred deflation plan of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern Railroad Company was finally made public, that stock ending at a loss of points after an early advance of points. Other rails, including sev- eral of the low priced coalers, also made substantial gains
 Oils were the dominant issues, how ever, Mexican Petroleum leading at a net advance of 10 points and Pan-Amer-
 
 their subsidiaries also gained 102 points.
 Despite further rumors of cancel lations of orders, steels and equipments ranged materially higher, features of that division being represented by Bethlehem and United States steels and Baldwin Locomotive which fin ished to points over the previous day. Shippngs also strengthened, es- pecially United Fruit and Atlantic Gulf, but gave way to profit taking at the close
 Call money opened and loaned into next week at per cent with the usual reduction of 1 percent in the afternoon A few loans of two and three months were made at Sh per cent. Remittances on London and Paris hardened appre- cably.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW
By Associated Press

New York, September 17.-Brad- streets tomorrow will say:
 Divergent and conflicting influences rob the trade situation of uniformity. The broad general statements may be made that trade is, as a whole no. better than fair, that industrial oper- ations are maintained, but below the speed of some months ago; that col lections are only fair to slow, but that good, warm weather is helping the corn crop to mature nicely and that drier weather in some states has made for rather better reports from the souths leading staple cotton, which has, however, deteriorated con siderably since the last government re- port.
 In the textile trades and in wearing apparel generally the advance of the season and the necessity of making buying decisions offsets to some de- gree the hesitation bred by uncertain ty as to future prices. the result be-
 ing sort of compromise, while actual needs and immediate requirements govern purchases. The phrase. Ego slow, and bid low" in fact seems best to describe the species of halting buy ing. which seems to agur only fair trade for fall and a reduction of the profits conceded to have been made in the earlier part of the year.

JAPAN DOES NOT
WANT PHILIPPINE is

MANILA, P. l, Oct. 2O.-Japan
has no political ambitions in the
Philippine Islands, Professor M.
Matsunami of the Imperial University
of Toxic declared in a recent address
here before the students of the Uni
versity of the Philippines.
Professor Matsunami spoke on the
subject, Japanese Expansion" and
touched on the reported statements of
Representative Charles H. Randall of
California and other members of the
American congressional party, which
was here recently, in which they were
quoted as saying that Japan was one
of the chief stumbling blocks in the
way of granting independence to the
islands
''Even if the Japanese desired to
occupy the Philippines, they would find
the task far greater than that which
attended American occupation twenty
two years ago., he said. "In fact, it
would be insuperable, for the Fill
pinos would never submit to a power
which is distinctly nom Christian, nor
would the Christi, ii nations of the
world permit the aggression"
