COTTON MARKET.

New York, Sept. 2o.-on buying
Influenced by a tropical storm in the
Caribbean Sea. cotton developed
strength and activity today follow
ing weakness early.
Declines at Liverpool. rejecting
fears of an. extension of the Oldham
mill strike caused a weak opening
in the market here. First prices
locally were 81 to Al points net
lower.
Prices in New Orleans were rela-
lively firm. and New Orleans bought
here. This helped to absorb the early
offerings and the market showed in
creasing firmness toward the middle
of the morning, with December sell
ing up to 25.S or % points net
higher, and about 55 points above
the. new low level of the morning.
Realizing checked the advance
around 2s.75 for October and 1898
for December.
Offerings were absorbed on COM
paratively slight setbacks however,
and the market showed a generally
steady undertone early in the noon
hour.
Most of the afternoon the under
tone continued firm on buying due
to the storm news. Final prices were

WHEAT MARKET LIFELESS;
CORN TAKES ANOTHER DROP

Chicago, Sept. 20.-The wheat
market was almost lifeless today
and prices worked lower in SYM
pathy with corn. At the close De-
cember wheat rested at s2.ssa to
$40 and March at s2.S4H, losses of
4 cent from Saturdays close. Trade
was light. Cash wheat was 1 to 2
cents higher with active outside
milling demand for red winter. No.
grade selling 16 to 19 cents over
December price. Exporters were not
bidding. -
OEyeryone was selling at the open
ing of the corn market, and a fur
ther break in prices carried them
into a new low, both December and
May dropping to s1.05A. On the
break there was extensive profit
taking by. shorts and this steadied
the market.
Corn rested at s1.24H to s1.24S
for September and $l.0s to s1.0794
for December, declines of IS to x
cent and X to u cent respectively
from the previous close. May at
s1.0sh to s1.osA was as cent lower.
Cash corn was 2 to 4 cents lower.

PROFIT TAKING SHADES

New York, Sept. 20.-Stocks were
strong all Of today under leadership
Of the high elass petroleum issues,
the standard rails and the tobaccos.
In the afternoon proht taking shad-
ed prices and in some instances,
the entire gain was wiped out. Only
in one stock, Middle States Oil, was
there actual weakness and this was
a raid melted by the doubling Of
the capital stock at a shareholders
meeting.
The chief reasons for the strength
OF the market were the improve
ment Of the banking situation, the
return Of most of the Pennsylvania
anthracite miners to their work, the
compromise in Italy with the fac
tory workers further evidence that
Mexico intends to act like civilized
nation and a belief that the British
coal strike will be a failure il in
deed il takes place at all.
Mexican Petroleum Sought.
Mexican Petroleum was the star
performer of the day with an ad-
vance of more than nine points from
its low of the morning to the new
high record of 1876. The attack
made on Middle States Oil also
promises to have a kickback. The
stock was sold because the capital
iEation was Increased from $4,000.
600 to Sl6,0O0,000.
ArFNnr Of E.r1g 1I TaSF
Indies was such as to offer further
confirmation of the report that the
fight between that company and
Mexican Petroleum has been set
=. tied II is impossible to obtain
any. information from either side,
but a banker identified with one of
the companies. admits that there
is no longer any dispute.
Tobacco stocks Sensation.
Activity in the tobacco stocks
which was a feature of the after
noon. has to do with some very i'm
portant rearrangement OF security
issues. The Street expects to see
American Tobacco ''B" sell as high
as the "A" stock because it par
ticipates in all earnings of the
company to the same degree that
the "A" stock the only difference
being that the b. has no vote.
In the first fourteen days of Sep
tember the United Cigar stores
sales increased SO per cent over the
same period last year. This estab-
Iished a new high record and seems
to prove the correctness OF the
theory that while Presidential
campaign always increased the sale
of tobacco, such a campaign in a
prohibition year increases IL even
more so. The cigar business espe-
cially is booming.
The strength of New Haven was
due largely TO plans for readjust-
ing the indebtedness of the COM
pany. A special meeting to vote on
plans will be held at New Haven
on October II.

NOT MUCH GOES TO WASTE
Machines That Make for Economy Are
Now In General Use In Faeto-
rles In America.

Recovery OF valuable portions Of
materials formerly wasted Is more
and more a feature OF American In
dustrial economy For many years
there has been In use In many Of
the large engineering works cen
trifugal separating machine which
removes the oil from iron and steel
turnings or borings and thus permits
II TO be used over again. This Idea
which underlles this machine has
now been carried farther and applied
to the removal OF the dust and dirt
which unavoldably collects In oil
used In the lubricating systems Of
marine and other large engines. The
new machine Is very similar In form
and operates on the same principle as
the now well-known centrifugal
cream separator The foul oil Is fed
continuously Into the machine
through stralner which catches any
gross particles. precisely rs milk Is
fed into the cream separator. The
purified oil escapes continuously,
while the dust and dirt collect on the
inner surface OF the Separating drum.
Provision Is made by which the at
tendant can Instantly tell when the
machine Is choked with the deposited
impurities.
