NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

Sy AssOcditu ITtsS
 New Orleans, September 2f,-Atter A break of 20 to S4 points around the opening today, the cotton market ad- vanced under buying pressure that constantly increased as the session progressed until, in the late trading, prices were 110 to IA points up frdm the lowest, of S7 bale on the strong est position. At this level the mar ket was 90 to 124 points higher than the last quotations of yesterday The close was at net gains on the day or 65 to 110 points. October traded down to 19.40c. rose to 20.S4c, and closed at 20.70c.
 The October position dominated the market during good part of the day. The initial decline was due to uncertainty over first notices in New York, and rumors that they were around 90,000 bales, while theN later advance was caused by the quick stopping of the notices. which finally were estimated. in telegrams reach ing this market, as calling for ten ders of S2.000 bales. The advance was kept going by the report that Japa- nese interests alone had stopped mo- tices of 65,000 bales, and that spot houses were fighting to retain their cotton.
 The rise III tHe Pitce VI st'Nei ]" the London market by pence per ounce was an additional buying in fluence of importance, while con siderable buying resulted from the issuance of two private reports on condition, both of them 40 per cent of normal, the one indicating yield of 6,1OO, 900 bales and the other 6,160,. 00O Highest levels were reached fol- lowing many messages from sopt cen ters in the south, claiming an active demand at much higner prices. Hous- ton claimed the highest basis of tho season. sherman, Tex. wired that the basis there was around 21c a pound while Tuscaloosa, Ala. reported many lots traded in there at zoe. Locally spots were higher by 100 points on all tenderable grades, which carried middling to 20.50c.

 Up and Down
By Associated Press

Chicago. September 27-W Wheat had a downward slant in price most of the time today bearish aspects of economic conditions receiving a good deal of notices The market closed unsettled at a4 to l%c net lower with December $123A to, s1,23&. Corn lost 1s to 9s and oats showed an equal setback. In provisions the outcome varied from 10c deeline to $1 .75 advance.
 Liquidation on the part Of the holders was in evidence at the open ing of the wheat market, and with no aggressive support apparent, the majority of commission houses leaned to the selling side.A further drop in the value of German marks counted as q special depressing in- fluence, and so, too, did the domes- tic unemployment situation and the possibility of railway strike troubles. Subsequently,, however, prices hard ened as a result of word that lower ocean freight rates and higher for eign exchange had brought about some export buying estimated at 5O0,000 bushels. on the other hand confidence faded somewhat in the last half hour, an export concern be- coming an active seller, and being followed by number of speculators
 Corn and oats were weak in sym pathy with wheat, September and December corn touched the lowest prices yet this season
 shorts, anxious over the approach of the month end bid up the Septem- Der delivery of pork but failed to obtain any offers Besides higher quotations on hogs helped to lift the proyIsion market as d whole.

STOCKS WERE DULL, WITH BONDS ACTIVE IN NEW YORK LIST
Call Money Opened at Five Per Cent, But Went to Five and 0ne- Half
 About Midday
By Associated Press

New York. September 27.--Ex- tremely conflicting conditions pre- vailed in the financial markets to- day. Stocks were dull and frequent ly reactionary, while bonds were very active, some of the Liberty and Victory issues amounting to new records tor the year.
 Those contrary movements were renacred more obscure by stiffen- ing of money rates, further cross currents in foreign exchange and mixed industrials, including the less promising labor outlook.
 Traders attacked the list from the outset on the increased demorallza- tien shown by German marks. With its implications regarding future reuarations payments. The pessi- mistic views of railway officials re- speoting labors attitude also fur nisied additional reasons for an eX- tension of short commi tments.
 Iesviness of foreign oils, especial ly Mexican Petroleum, and pressure against standard rails, with Penn sylvania as the main objective, hciped to unsettle the general list Steeis, equipments and various spe- cialties which owe their rise or fall to ools also were lower in the ab- sence of support
 Some Exceptions
 The few exceptions to the general trend included shippings, General As9halt preferred, American Ice and miscellaneous issues of secondary Importance.
 Call money opened at 5 per cont, but ar unusually heavy inquiry forced the rate to 5h per cent at mtdcay, holding at that figure for the remainder of the session. Time loans running into next year were sf-ade at 55s per cent. The fall of marks to a level where they were reported at value of S-10 of 1c affect cd central European remittances. Austrian, Polish and Czecho- Slovak- ian exchanges established minimum quotations. Sterling was firm, Bel gian, French and Italian bills eased, but Dutch and Swedish rates rose substantially, Far eastern ex- ctanges were again noteworthy for another decline In the Japanese rate and the further advance of bills on Shanghai by 1hc. All bonds were carried forward in the first half or the session by the extensive demand for Liberty and Victory issues, but the movement was checked later. when realizing sales caused general reaction from best prices. Rails ana irdustrials became irregular and most foreign issues developed simi- lar tendencies. Sales, par value, az gregated s1SS5o,00o.
