COTTON MARKET
 WAS LESS ACTIVE
 AGAIN YESTERDAY
October Sold Off to Twenty three Gents or One Hundred and Four Points Net
 Lower On the Day
By Associated Press

New York, october S.-The cotton mar ket was much less active today and except for October, which broke over 1c pound, fluctuations were narrower The break in october came late in the day and resulted from a comparatively small vol tune of selling, accompanied by reports that some cotton was coming here from the south for delivery. The weakness of the spot month pulled down the later deliveries, but after selling off from 9 02c to 21.49c, or about 5S points net lower, De- cember cilosed at 2l .64c, with the general market closing barely tseady at a net decline of IA points on October, while other months showed losses of only io to 3S points.
 The market opened steady at a decline of 10 to Al points on overnghit selling or- ders, but soon rallied owing to the rela- lively steady ruling of Liverpool, reports of a better feeling over the British labor situation and bullish overnight spot ad- vices from the south
 October sold off to 23c, or 1O4 points net lower, and closed at 22 soc bid, but the decline in later positions was checked around 20. 95c for January, with last prices showing moderate rallies. Port receipts, 16,17 United States port stocks, 903, g75; exports, 12,916, making 529,o55 so far this season.

MUCH PRESSURE SHOWN IN TRADING
 0N WALL STREET
Call Loans Opened at Seven and 0ne-HaIf Per Cent, Ris- ing to Eight In the Early
 Afternoon
By Associated Pres.

New York. October s.-The stock mar Ret was under pressure almost from the very outset of today's session, the shorts carrying their aggressive maneuvers to greater lengths than in any of the pre- ceding days of the week.
 In their fairly successful tactics, the professional element was assisted by technical conditions. such as the fur ther abstention of public interest or sup port and prospects of stiffer money rates Tn the approaching weeks.
 The latter probability was foreshad- owed by the course of call or demand leans which opened at 7Ih per cent, the maximum renewal quotation of the week. rising to per cent in the early afternoon and holding at that figure until a few minutes before the close, when it lapsed to the initial rate
 Other deterrents to constructive effort were offered by board room gossip and general advices, which were confirmatory for the most part of a further retrograde movement in the more important chan nels of trade and industry
 Rails ignored the reactionary trend for a time, but fell back in the latter part of the session when the cheaper trans portations were under renewed attack Texas and Pacific making a new low record for the current period.
 Exchange on London was at it's highest quotation of the week and the Italian rate also made further recovery from it's low record of 8 few days ago, other rt mittances showing no material alter ations.
 All classes of bonds, foreign and do- nestle, including liberties, were inclined to ease slightly. Total sales, par value, s15, $50. 600.
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call

 Nothing new developed in the refined situation today and prices weer 1m- changed at Il cents for fine granulated. There was said to be little export bus mess doing, but the domestic demand has not increased to any material ex- tent.
 The market for sugar futures was more active today and prices were firm er closing at 90 to 50 points net advance The opening was unchanged to 15 points lower under scattered liquidation, brought about by the decline in the spot market but there was good demand from shorts and some buying by trade inter ests. said to be the taking in of hedges and prices advanced sharply closing about the best level for the day.

AFTER SWITCHMEN's sTRIKE

The improvement would have been earlier had not the switchmen or some of them, gone upon strike in April For some weeks this strike almost com pletely tied up freight movement espe- cially in the Pittsburg district But the strike ended and probably never before did the railway managers so speedily recover from the congestion occastoned by a strike as they have since April
 Of course, in the grain-growing states the call upon the managers for cars has been for some weeks persistent and very great But when that grain is moved from the fields to the markets relief will come and transportation facilities in the grain states will increase.
 All the reports which fthe Association of Railway Executives has received point emphatically to increased effi- ency. Inferentially the railroad com panies do not care how high the wages demanded and paid may be, provided only that the wage earners are giving full value for the wages. This, the man agers report, many of the railroad em- ployes are now doing. The New York Central system reports heavy movement of loaded cars, almost a million in the month of August. In the south more freight is being moved and at reduced time than ever before. President Kenly of the Atlantic Coast Line reports large increase in traffic, especially noticeable
 in August. One of the most important reports is made by the Central of Geor- gia railroad. For the managers and em- ployes of that road moved in August a greater amount of freight than ever be- fore since the road was built Repre- scented by ton miles, this important rall- road of the south moved in August ap- proxmately 130, 900 net ton miles. So also the Southern Pacific is handling the largest tonnage in it's history, and in- tensive effort inaugurated by MT. Elliott upon the Northern Pacific is resulting in large increase in traffic over that line.
 This report shows, first, that although some depression in business due to de- flation does exist, nevertheless the busi- ness and industrial life of the nation is, on the whole, gaining rapidly. It also demonstrates that adequate transporta- ton, sufficient to meet the stupendous demand upon the railroads for carrying various products to the markets cannot be secured until the railroads are able to buy equipment, locomotives and other railway material, and also to improve terminals Fortunately the improvement in the operation of our transportation system is already so great that the rail roads are gaining financial credit. their securities are appreciating in the mar ket so that the outlook is good for sue- cessful financing of the plans that the railroad managers have for improvement expansion, and, to some extent, new construction.

New York, October S.-Reports of fur ther declines in cost and freight offers and a little trade selling were the chief factors on the continued decline in the market for coffee futures here today.

This report shows that in the month of August which was the latest month from which complete returns could be obtained, the total car loading was nearly four million, in comparison with three and one-half millions in 1919. The managers and the employees in the last week of August were so efficient that new record for the year was made and almost the highest record ever reported

Hubbard Bros Letter

New York, October S.--While the mar ket is somewhat steadier than yesterday prices slowly declined until in the early afternoon they were half a cnt pound below yesterdays close. Evidences of curtailed domestic consumption continue to accumulate. while there s little or no improvement in the goods markets There is enough cotton for sale from the south, particularly from the south west to weigh against the market and prevent the appearance of any new spec ulatve demand.
 The short interest was fairly well re- duced on the advance but the break down in the past twenty-four hours tended to increase speculative sales once more. There is really little change in the general situation and we regret to say that as yet we do not see that improvement in trade conditions which would warrant any very positive view ae to prices.
 The local feeling is that the market must continue to decline until the ac- emulation of cotton in the south is re- lieved. At some price there will be euf- ficient investment demand for both man. ufacturer and the trade to take care of the southern hedges. At the moment that demand has not appeared and with sharp fluctuations the tendency is stir slowly downward. The fact that all other commodities are undergoing the same process makes this tendency the stronger in cotton.-Hubbard Bros & Co
