FLUCTUATIONS IN COTTON VIOLENT ON THE M EXCHANGE General List At the Close Showed Net Losses of 50
 to SO Points Before
 the Close
By Associated Press

New York, September S.=Yesterday' s sensational advance was followed by violent fluctuations in the cotton mar ket today. but crop complaints seemed to be more numerous and while fur ther gains were not fully maintained, prices made new highs for the move ment. October contracts, for instance, sold up from 2740, the low point of the morning. to 28.50, or sixty points above the closing price of the previous day and just cents per pound above the low record of last week. That delivery closed al 2795 or five points net higher, while other months were two to twen- ty-five points lower with the tone steady. The market opened steady at an advance of five points on October, but generally five to ten points lower owing to disappointing late cables from Liverpool, realizing by recent buyers and selling for a reaction. Octo- Der soon eased off with other months and the general list showed net losses of fifty to sixty points before the end of the first hour with December sell ing at 25.63 and January at 24.75.
 There was foreign trade buying on the decline however, and after early offerings had been absorbed, prices turned firmer on renewed covering promoted by unfavorable weather and the bullish weekly report of the wealth CT bureau. The effect of these reports was intensified by the first ginning re- port of the season which was regarded as ind/ating a very late crop in all parts of the belt except the extreme southwest, and the market advanced very rapidly until December sold at 26.s3 and January at 25.S5, or about forty seven to sixty three points net higher on active months.
 Demand then became less active and there were relcdons later under real iZing and selling for a reaction. The advance during the middle of the day was promoted by reports of slightly better spot demand and firmer basis in the southwest.

call St. Peter down and roar.

We let the trifling ills annoy, III

SO we've spoiled ourselves for

The workman kicks about his

REPRESENTATIVE MOORE
NOT TO BE OPPOSED

didate Certain, as No Others
Enter Race.

Representative r. Walton Moore of
Virginia. who is really a representative
OF the District in Congress because he
was for many years prominent attor-
ney in this city. will not have opposi-
ton for denomination.
The time for entrance for democratic
aspirants expired June 1. and as Repre-
sentative Moore is the only entrant he
will not have democratic opposition.
The question of republican opposition
depends on the action of the republican
convention. which is vet - b held. As
his district is strongly democratic there
is little likelihood of serious republican
opposition.
A delegation OF prominent Virginia
politicians at the Capitol today said that
Representative Mocrcs reelection. by an
increased ma jority. is assured. Mr.
Moore has made a notable record dur
ing the last year in the House. He has
attracted the attention of leaders on
both sides by his progressive policy and
by several speeches on important meas
ures
Representative Moore has shown him
self especially interested in furthcring

PROVES SHE is ON JOB

Gentle little Miss Springtime, whose
arrival in the capital this year was
delayed somewhat by the recalcitrancy
displayed by her father, Mr.. Winter.
in leaving. stirred no doubt in the
minds of Washingtonians today con-
cerning her determination to live here
until her older sister. Mrs. Summer,
takes her place. In fact, she displayed
so many of the characteristics of this
older sister that some foundation was
given the rumor that Miss Spring
time already had gone.
Today was the hottest day of the
year-the thermometer at the weather
bureau registering three degrees
higher at noon than it did yesterday.
The mercury ran up to SS-nine de-
grees below this time last year.
The heat was emphasized by the
mugginess" of the atmosphere, fore
shadowing thunderstorms this after
noon. The weather man strengthens
the forecast by his official announce
ment of rain this evening-followe
by drop in temperatures.
