FUTURE COTTON |S
 OFF SOME POINTS
EnqIish Coal Situation and Clear, Dry Weather Inlure
 Speculative Market
By Associated Press


 New Orleans, September 19.-Bright weather in the belt, continued unfa- vorable trade accounts and reports that labor conditions were affecting the running time of English mills held the price of cotton down last week, all though toward the close there were re- coveries on the increased trading as moderately higher prices in the spot markets of the western belt.
 Last prices were at net losses of s to 9 points. At no time were prices generally above the level of the close of the preceding week and at the low est prices the active months showed ret losses of 80 to 125- points.
 October traded down to 26.05c and recovered to 26.92c, closing at 26.S3c. In the spot department middling closed at 2Se, showing a net loss of 125 points.
 The weather last week was clear and dry in nearly all sections of the telt and reports that reached this mar ket indicated cotton was opening well up into the more northern limits of the cotton country, with pickings be- ing pushed everywhere. To spot peo pie the most encouraging feature of the new crop sitxaton was the way the grade of receipts was improving. In spite of the favorable weather pre- vailing private bureau reports on the condition of the crop indicated a con siderable falling off from the percent age returned by the government to Au gust 25.
 This week will end the Septem Der condition period, the final period of the season, while it is realized that the end of the growing season is bringing the usual deterioratio the general dis position is to consider that the de- terioration is not excessive and not nearly so great as it would have been had the rainy weather of the earlier part of the month continued
 This week also ends the second gin ring period of the season and expecta- tions are that ginning will be heavy as the result of the favorable picking weather. As the situation now stands the trade appears to be giving more at tention to reports concerning the state Of the spot demand and to develop ments in connection with the threat ened English coal mine strike than to weather conditions. This sort of thing will probably continue if the weather remains fair. but return to rainy weather would be regarded as a ca lamity and would probably result in very extensive operations for a rise in values.

parently the research which is now un- der way, especially in the south and the results of careful tests made by ttN chemists are within year or two greatly to relieve this extraordinary and almost unanticipated shortage of news print paper. The situation for a time was very serious. One of the authorities in the spring said that there was reason for apprehension lest some of the newspapers, especially the small ones, weeklies, might be compelled to suspend put4%cation
 WILL IT BE A SUCCESS?
 Louis Carroll Stukenborg, who has been for some years occupied with study of mine whether this could be done by me- chanical means, is reported to hare in vented a successful machine which is known by his name. For years after Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin other in- Ventors made experiments so that they might discover whether or not it were possible to pick cotton by machinery. None of these iDventors was successful. Some twenty years ago Theodore N Price of New York invested large amount of capital in q cotton picker which was the invention of an ingenious mechanic of Pittsburg. He had spent years in an at tempt 10 perfect a machine of this kind. At last he did perfect one Mir Price caused considerable number of these machines 10 be built. He made demcn- SIdtlOuS DclOI6 cOllOn planters ana man ufacturers of the manner in which this machine whose fingers were of almost the grasping, and yet delicate capacity of the tenticles of the devil fish. reached out and picked the ripe cotton, leaving the half grown cotton unimpaired, not
 njurng the plant. The machine would bo driven by a tractor and one machine by man with assistant could, it is said do the work in a single day which requires the labor of some fifty colored cotton pckers.
 But the inventor and Mir Rice himself failed in one respect. There was no doubt about the practicability of the machine. But when MT. Price attempted to intro duce it in Texas and other cotton states he found 1t was impossible to place it upon the market Various ways of financing the machine so that planters could thereby be benefited were tried, but none of them was successful. It seems as though a cotton picker might be em- ployed in the cotton fields exactly as the thrashing machine or tho harvesting ma chine is employed through cooperation with the farmers. But it would not go in the south. The machines now stand in the warehouse uncalled-for, and the doubt is great whether any cotton picking ma chine, no matter how perfect; can find a sufficient market in the cotton picking states.

 Not a pound of Birmingham steel travels north of Knoxville. Where does it go? What is not disposed of in the south is shipped abroad Enormous quantities regularly move from the mills of the three Birmingham auxiliaries of the U. S. Steel corporation to other countries.
 A Birmingham captain ir>the iron in- dustry was at the port of Brunswick on his way from the east. What did he see there? He saw T. c.

Had he gone on to Pensacola he would have seen ship putting out of there with several thousand tons of Bir- mingham coke for copper smelters in Chile
 Had this captain of industry proceeded to Mobile he would have noticed eight thousand tons of Brazilian ores brought over in ships for Birmingham mills Had he been at New Orleans some time ago he would have witnessed a cargo of several thousand tons of Chilean nitrates loading from ship to barges to be brought up the Warrior for Birmingham powder mills.
 Had he visited the port of Savannah few weeks ago he would have seen 5000 tons of Birmingham pipe going to Tokio in Japan and had he been resident of Mobile since April he would have seen five cargoes of Birmingham steel success sively putting forth to Rotterdam and China and Japan.
 Were he to make his residence at Sa- vannah he would see ship after ship carry ing Birmingham sanitary pipe to Cuba and to South American points.

New York, September 19.-(Special)- The chemists will not be called upon to furnish a formula for the utilization or the Alaskan forests in such manner that these trees can be converted into pulp suitable for news print paper. Private information supplements that which has recently come from Washington whlch reported that the Alaska forests of all most inconeeivably vast extent contain supplies of the proper kind of wood Tor making of news print paper which cannot be exhausted for perhaps 100 years Not then if there be reforestration.
 The Alaska wood pulp trees yield easily to the cheapest formula for converting the wood into pulp. But the immediate question so far as the Alaska raw ma terial for wood pulp is concerned is not the supply, but instead is the construc- ton of plants which will convert that wood into pulp. Already one or two plants have been established Tn Alash't' The managers of one of the plants Was obliged to send to Maine for certain ma chinery of the kind which is used in the Maine wood pulp mills. thus indicating that the Alaska forests are similar 10 those in Maine In Maine reliance mas teen placed for many years on pup op- tained from spruce timber. but there mas been little or no reforestration in Name so that gradually the supply Of spruce timber is being exhausted
 If is an interesting fact that upon the Pacific coast or the states which border the coast the shortage of news print paper was not at first felt as severely as in the east. Now a gradual improvement m the east and midwest is due to the push. ing of the wood pulp mills to their utmost capacity, and the enlarging of the plants as well as an increased suppiy rom oS'i As ada On the other hand the shortaso ol news print paper has increased upon the Pacific coast.
 Ultimately Alaska can be depended upon to furnish all of the pulp needed for tne manufacture of news print paper but it may be several years before the m m creased supply from that penlnsuia pe-
