New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton By Associated Press
By Associated Press

New Orleans, September 16.-A fair ly good undertone was preserved by cotton today in the face of continued favorable weather over the belt The explosion in Wall street caused a furry or selling but it did not last long and some time after news of it was re- ceived the market became steadier than ever. Highest prices were reached in the late trading with the active months were 25 to 35 points over the close of yesterday. Last prices were at net gains for the day of IT to 32 points
 The steadiness was due primarily to further cablegrams from England, claiming that. the general opinion in cotton circles there was that the ne- gotlations to avert the coal strike would be successful. On top of this were reports of a better business doing in cotton goods and signs of an in- creasing demand for spots in the in- terior of the belt, and especially in the western section, where the holding movement among farmers was de- scribed as growing. For a short while on the opening the market was de- pressed by the dry and warm weather over the belt, but after declines of 1 to II points there was an upward movement which finally carried values 25 to 29 points over the close of yes- terday, October touching z6.42c which was the high of the day on that month Following the news of the explosion in New York prices fell off about $1 d bale but in the late trading the market recovered to the highest again and rose to new high on May, which touched 22.90c.

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

New York, September 16. The United States is richer since the sum- mer of 1914 by $17,0o0, 900, 900 exclusive of the increase in our wealth which is due to the development of our re- sources and our enlarged domestic trade. These figures are not estimates, but are substantially accurate. There is nothing like it in the history of the world trade. In six years the com modities which we sold to other na- tions were of money value of ST. 0o,0o0,00O greater than the money value of the materials purchased by us in foreign markets.
 Presumably considerable part of this SIT, 900, 900, 900 has been liquidated. But it is one of the mysteries of the amaz- ing international trade which we have carried on since August, 1914, how the other nations poor as they are and devastated by war have been able to pay the whole or any part of these billion dollars.
 Some trade balances required settle ment by the United States in gold for we bought more from South America and the far east than we sold to those nations. This settlement was made by the export of gold which explains why our heavy gold supply has been drib- bling away so to speak, although it is to be increased within few days by a fresh supply from France and pre- sumably from Canada
 One of the best methods of bringing a good understanding of this enormous trade balance in our favor in six years is by comparison with the situation as it existed two generations ago. At the beginning of the Civil war the total wealth of the United States was esti- mated by the Washington authorities at $16,000, 900, 900 round numbers. In other words all of the improved lands and the buildings standing upon them all of the meat animal food, clothing and mineral wealth of the year 1860 was measured in dollars than the bal ance of trade in our favor in the six years between 1914 and 1920.
 ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW
 Recently an estimate was made by an excellent authority that the trade balance of seventeen billion dollars ac- cumulated since 1914 was greater by several billions than the entire trade because in favor of the United States which accumulated between the day when the United States was estab- lished as a nation and the beginning of the civil war. This authority states that the past six years have meant one hundred and thirty eight years of normal growth.

LESS BUYING OF WHEAT CAUSES A DOWNTURN
 IN THE CHICAGO PIT
Decline In Prices Causes Some Ex- port Business, With Domestic
 Demand Good
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
 Chicago September 16.-Lack of any ag- gressive buying today led to material downturns in the value Of wheat. Prices closed heavy, 21A@3a4c net lower, with De- cember s2.37%d2.3S and March $2. 321s. Corn lost asd31sc; oats finished ssc off to a shade advance, and provisions varying from 10c decline to a rise of 9Oc. Wheat prices began to sag as soon as the mar ket opened, and at no time did they show much power to rally. Moderate offerings proved to be more than sufficient to satisfy the current demand. Prevalence of bearish sentiment was due more or less to word that supplies in Great Britain and on passage for that country were ample to fill all requirements until Janu- ary, 1921 and that European continental countries were making great efforts to economize in the use of wheat.
 Some export business, however. was said to have resulted from today's de- cline in prices here. Domestic milling de- mand was also asserted to have been the best so far this season.
 Lowest figures yet for the 1920 crop were touched by corn and oats Excel lent weather and liberal receipts de- pressed corn. Oats yielded in sympathy.

GREENvlLLE

Greenville, September 1s.-tspecial) Funeral services of the late Judge Har- ris D. Lampley were held here this morning at the St. Thomas Episcopal Church. and were conducted by Dr. Richard Wilkinson, rector of the church. The edifice was filled to an overflow by his many friends who came to pay their last respect to man uni- versalIy beloved. For number of months Judge Lampley had been suf- fering and hut little hope was enter tained for his recovery. He was car ried to a famous hospital at Baltimore for an operation which was thought might benefit him. No improvement was noticed from the operation and his death came Monday. His remains were shipped here, arriving last night. Alter the funeral a long procession followed the body to Magnolia cemetery. where it was laid to rest In respect to the deceased, all of Greenville's business houses closed during the hours of the services. Judge Lampley had never married and his nearest relatives live at Eufaula Ala. and in Lowndes county. A number of them were pres- ent at the funeral. He has been resi- dent of Greenville for many years and until he was elected probate judge of butlGT COuuty, ONcT twenty years d6O, he practiced law in this city.
 Mrs. George Murphy died at her home here last night, after an illness that lasted about one week. The deceased was greatly beloved by her many friends, and her death has cast great shadow of sadness. Her death is espe- cially sad for she leaves an infant child and another who is about years of age. She is survived by her hus- band and number of relatives. She had been living in Greenville about two years having lived in Montana most of her life. Funeral services will be held tomorrow at the residence on Hickory street and interment will be made at Pine Crest cemetery. The services will be conducted by Rev. Ross Arnold.
 At a meeting of the Greenville Com mercial Club. held recently, resolution was adopted unanimously authorizing petition be sent to Sam. F. Kennedy, requesting a new passenger station for Greenville, to be erected by the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad Company. The present station is indaequate for the fast growing business, and the peo- pie of Greenville will use every possible effort in order to get the new station.

New York, September 16-Trading in cotton came to an abrupt halt early in the noon hour and for a time the floor was almost deserted by brokers who rushed toward the scene of the Wall street explosion. The board of directors at hastily called meeting suspended business was very quiet during the afternoon being restricted by the sus- pension of trading for the balance of the day in the stock market while the at tention of cotton traders seemed to be monopolized by reports of the disaster.
 Fluctuations were comparatively mar row, with December selling up from 9. 15 to z5.60 and closing at 25.H. The gen. eral market closed quiet at a net advance of to 40 points.
 The market showed an improved tone during the greater part of the day The opening was irregular at an advance, of 26 points to decline of 13 points with the late months relatively easy under a continuation of yesterdays selling move ment. The offerings were very readily absorbed, however, and the market soon turned firmer on more encouraging re- ports from the goods trade, and steady iSiNcl pOol NdDioS.

 EXPLOSION OCCURS
Governors of Exchange Order Suspension of Business. Seven Per Cent Only Quo-
 tation on Call Money

 New York, September 16.-Trading on the stock exchange today came to a sudden halt few minutes after noon, because of the Wall street explosion The governors of the exchange ordered an immediate suspension of business for the day and similar action was taken by the Consolidated Exchange, tAs curb outside market.
 Oils and rails were the outstanding features of the brief trading period, but the list almost as a whole gave promise of developing into the broad est and most active movement of recent days.
 Extreme advances of one to three points were scored by Mexican and re- lated oils, shippings gained one to four and steels and equipments about as much Coalers under lead of Reading were foremost of the rails, with sub stantial gains in St. Louis and San Francisco preferred, Southern Railway preferred and New Orleans, Texas and Mexico.
 The several classes of specialties ac- tivity probably accounted for the strength of sugars, tobacco. textiles and kindred issues. Sales amounted to 375, 900 shares.
 Only one rate-7 percent-was quoted, for call money and time loans were unchanged. Moderate reactions from yesterdays rally were shown by British and French, but remittances to Germany were heavy.
 Heavy trading in the new French Ss, which changed hands in large individ- ual lots, was the feature of the very active bond market, other leading is- sues, including Liberty bonds, incln- ing to irregularity. Total sales par value, aggregated $7,150,000.
 Nc alteration was reported in the first call for old U. S. bonds.
