New York, August A.-After making lew low records early today. the cotton market recovered 146 to i67 points of its recent losses, with December selling up from 24. 45e to 26. Ice and closing at 26c- The general list closed steady, with prices showing advances from 75 10 40 points for the day.
 The opening was barely steady at an advance of points to a decline Of lo points, ard all prices sold into new low ground, owing to weak Liverpool cables, nervousness over ths threatened British coal strike, continued bearish domestlc trade news, lower foreign exchange ana prospects for better weather in the south October broke to 256Sc and January to 23 75c, with active months generally showing net declines of 30 to B points Covering was very active on the decline, however, and the demand became more general as the offerings subsiGeo with local, Wall street and western shorts particularly heavy buyers. There was also buying fol trade account. and the ad- vance seemed to be stimulated during the early afternoon by unconfirmed rumors of a bullish private crop report. October sold up to 27.35c and January to 2o.aoc' or about ii2 to 137 points net nigner on the active positions and, the close was only a few points off from the best order real- izing Local brokers characterized the advance as an overdue reaction atter tho big declines of the past two or tnres weeks, and reported disposition to cover short contracts owing to an idea that the market had been ovcrsold and uncertainty as to the showing of end-August con dition and crop figures.
 Claims that the price had declined pe- low the cost of production were also heard in some quarters, but generany speaking the bulk of the buying was at- tributed to covering.

GRAIN MARKET WAS PRIMER ON
 GOOD DEMAND
Wheat, Corn and Oats All Went Up, While Provisions Were Un-
 changed to 32c Lower

Chicago, August 24.-Firmness was displayed in all grains today because of good export demand small re- ceipts and the pressure in wheat. At the finish, wheat was up to 4 1ac from yesterdays close, with December s2.32A @2.33, and March $231 Corn showed a gain of 1a c 4c, oats ranged 1@1ssc higher, while provisions were unchanged to 32c lower.
 Wheat prices have been under con siderable pressure, the March delivery especially being weak on scattered selling, which looked as if there was some hedging of this delivery rather than in December. The export demand
 from the continent was active, with sales yesterday and today of more than
 1,600.000 bushels. with Italy taking
 most of this. se Receipts were extremely small and the fact that the visible supply showed
 a good decrease for the week against big increase year ago tempered
 the enthusiasm of sellers to some ex- tent.
 . Corn showed a firfher undertone to-
 day, the feature being the buying of

New. Orleans Cotton RY Assaciatel ProsS

New Orleans, August 24.-Wide reac-
 tions from the long decline were maae by cotton today, the market rising lol
 to 1s4 points from the low levers
 reached in the early trading, when, as
 one time, the active months were 3o 10
 51 points under the close of yesterday
 Last prices were at net advances Tor
 the session of 122 to 130 points.
 The reactions were due mainly to general realizing of profits by holders of long contracts. although once the upward movement was well under way a fair amount of fresh buying for long account was felt, especially after the receipt of the report that the northern Russian army had offered to surrender. Highest prices were reached late Tn the session, and at these levels the market was 125 to 136 points over the final prices of yesterday. october traded up to 26.36c, which compared with 2454c as the low price of the day. The opening was lower and declines persisted for short time under the influence of poor cables, better weather | over the belt and an unfavorable view of foreign trade conditions. The mar ket was steady at the decline. for, from l the outset, the tendency among old shorts was to take profits.

All Transportation Shares Stood Out Most Ga 44.. Among the Exceptions
 of the Day
By Assnniafad Prnsa

New York. August 24.-lncreased weak ness of foreign exchange and further de tachment of pubic Interest accounted chiefly for the reactlonary trend of to- days stock market during which trans portation shares stood out most of the session as the only noteworthy excep- tions
 An abrupt and sweeping reversal oc- cured in the final hour, however, when steels, equipmets, oils and shippings led a vigorous rally, to which Jno snorts made Involuntary but extensive contributions.
 Rates of renlittances continued to move against Lodon, Paris and other impor- tant foreign centers, although the day s advices dealing with European affairs should have been helpful to international credit conditions.
 Quotations on London fell almost 10c under their recent maximum, and francs broke sharply. Further depreciation of sterling was again attributed to offerings of grain bills by our exporters, while the Paris rate probably suffered as re- suit of the delay n announcing the set clement terms of ne Anglo-French loan.
 Buying of rails, which assumed rela- lively large dimensions, was said to have emanated from substantial sources, who are supposed to favor those properties because of the recent rate advances. Prominent features included the preferred issues of St. Louis Southwestern, St. Louis and San Francisco, Kansas City Southern and Western Maryland.

Ply the process a partial fluid fibre is secured and this is wound on spools. Then it is twisted, skeined, at last denitrated and dried exactly as is done with the fibre spun by the silk worm.
 There are now Two processes, but both are based upon cotton fibre. The process which is to be used at Hopewell, Va, ac- cording to statement day or two ago by Robert Fl. Murray, employs cotton eel luloid. The process makes it possible to produce various sizes with a beautiful luster and to the touch O. the finger ft feels as satin does. The fabrics which are woven or knitted from it have become very popular.
 Within a few weeks some fifteen or twenty young women admirably qualined for the responsibility which is placed upon them will be sent to Belgium there to study the methods now used in Bel gium for the manufacture of artificial silk. It was in Belgium that the first output of so-called artificial silk was made twenty-one years ago.
 A Belgian company which was com oeiled to suspend operations, while the European war was in progress, has now restored its devastated plant, and was one of the first of the Belgium indus- tries to be repaired In fact four months after the war ended this plant was in op- eration, and the understanding now IS that 1t is manufacturing about lo,UU pounds day of this artificial silk, which is really cotton. There will be com munity of interest between the Belgium plant and the American company. The magnitude fthis newly organized com pany's operations can be suggested oy the fact that it has secured 25o acres or land at Hopewell upon which the plant Is now being established.
 Fortunately, some of the machinery which was used during the war at Hope we'll for the governments intuition out put for war purposes is available for the manufacture of artificial silk. The or ganizers of this $. 5.91o.ooo company are con fident that the first unit for the plant will be in operation by January l, and eight months from this time commercial production will be in full operas'ou ~nere.
 This company is not included m the artificial silk industry which the Duponts have established. although these two cem- panies, and one other will hefore the win ter ends be demonstrating that the United States has entered upon the manufacture of cotton fibre into so,called artificial SIX to so great an extent that if will be one of the most important of the textile com modities manufactured in the l3ited States Probably a large export trade in this artificial silk wl.l be secured within the next two or three years.

 New York, August 24.-{SpeciaI. )--Wben 1ohn Mercer, an English chemist invent eu tne process by which so-caIied mer- eeii%ed cotton is pTuduced, many thought ehdt lhis invention mad gone as far as posslole Tn the utilization of cotton ex ceptlng, Of course, for some chemical and tApiosNe material. But this process was oniS pssihning. The country does not redIze now great Is the number of com nloolttes n the mannfacture of which cot on Ilore Is the base. One industry whose cnlet plant is in Ohio has an output of some htty-three varieties tof cotton com modlties It has discovered how to util- lze cotton in the manufacture of artificial leather American industry is therefore 10 pc more and more dependent upon cot ton hbre for the manufacture of com modities which Jew years ago would Eot have been associated with cotton
 loaay much attention is being paid to ihe recent development of the so-called artificial silk industry in the United states. But it is O. silk. It is nor even syntheticaily produced silk. It's basis is otton hbre. Already two organizations having large capital are manufacturing so-called artificial silk. Another has re- gently been organized with cup..a::za- lion of S5,0Jo,0o0. It is likely to grow un- til it is recognized as one of the, lead- ing Industrial plants in the United States. This company will employ some 200o per sons, the majority of whom will be girls and women. The plant is established upon historic grounds, for it is at Hope- we'll Va, although the place was Icenti- fled as the headquarters of General Grant at City Point, upon the James river, in the last year of the conflict between the states.
 Science, but not American sci.nce, dis covered process by means of which through utilization of cotton fibre a ma terial can be obtained which resembles silk and which has gained popularity with women.
 Some twenty years ago the Count de Chardonnet invented process for the manufacture of cloth which had super fcial appearance of silk as wei1 as it's strength and availability for all kinds of cloth manufacturing purposes except ing wool
 This process is one of the most recent achievements of science The count took nitrated purified cotton and dissolved it in ther-alcohol. There followed a soiu- ton which had very high viscosity, sim liar to that of the silk worm npre This was formed into fibre fillament by mechanical process and water was used to remove the ether -aleaho1. The process on the whole is simplicity itself. and the wonder is that it was not invented earlier.
