.sWbslan After Sumatra."

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Following
the passing Of the American Sumatra
dividend the old rumor Of buying by
other tobacco interests has been re-
vtved.
/ Judging from past experiences It
would seem likely that inside selling

the old cry, "Whelan is after Sum-
Ultra" is circulated the stock reacts
shortly afterward.
It is doubtful il the American

New York Cotton Market.

NEW YORK. Oct. IAN easier cot
ton opening was a surprise to traders
and was attributed mainly to an
absence Of supporting orders after yes
terday's late upturn which eliminated
the short interest and created a
weaker technical position. There also
was considerable southern hedging and
some selling by Liverpool.
First prices generally were 10 to
~ points lower followed by rallies on
buying by the trade, 50 that by the end
of the first fifteen minutes the list was
about Is points up from the lowest
initial levels. Indications for colder
weather in the southwest and possibly
frost, helped the Improvement.
Cotton opening prices: October,
20.21; December, 20.35; January, 1890;
March, 1880; May. 1918; July. 1877.

The Investigations conducted by
the Committee on Unemployment
and it's experts reveal that the en-
ployment picture has been over
drawn. The committee Is acting In
a businesslike way, and there IL
every reason for confidence that un-
employment problems will be SEN
sibiy handled this winter, more SEN
sibly, indeed. than during any pre-
vious period OF depression.
This is infinitely better than allow
ing matters to drift. as some capt
taI'sts are understood to have ad-
vocated in order that wages might
be pulled down and labor unions
knocked on the head. That wages in
various industries will be lowered Is
certain, but 1t is better for all that
necessary readjustments be conduct
ed in orderly fashion and not ruth
lessly forced upon workers by EN-.
ployers simply because they had the
power temporarily.
Encouraging Feature.
One very encouraging feature Of
the business situation is this: Idle
money Is piling up So steadily that
bankers will find themselves COM
PEELED to change their tactics in order
to find work for 1t. Borrowers will
be sought out.
There is gratifying Significance in
the rapidity with which new issues
of securities have lately been offered
and absorbed at lower INTEREST," rates
than formerly in vogue. The day Of
the s per cent bond has already
passed. Something like 500, 900 900
been bought by investment bankers
at 6 per cent and are being marketed
tc yield somewhat less.
Instead Of crop-moving demands
r. ~ lowered bank reserves and
raised rates bank reserves today are
q. 49, highest point touched since
1917, and interest rates are distinctly
tending downward. -
The finding Of employment for idle
funds will stimulate the employment
Of labor, broaden business and act
as a tonic upon the whole situation,
especially as pessimism is melting
away and optimism reasserting itself.
There Are Clouds.
But aren't there. clouds?
az course there are. II there were
no clouds you couldn't find such In.
vestment bargains as are now avail
able, prices Of raw materials and
finished products would not be In
overabundant supply at declining
wages.
To my mind, Germany Is the darkest
cloud now overhanging. But states.
manship ought to prove able to avert
crisis. The condition Of most for.
eign exchanges Is another serious
handicap. The actions of railway
labor leaders are occasioning some con.
