up from the barn the ragged little

The horses were put out and all
went In to supper.
After supper, Brimstead showed
models Of a moving machine with a
cut bar six feet long. and a plow
which would turn two burrows.
That's what we need on these

 New Orleans, September 2o.--Ex- ceeding firmness was shown by cot ton in the early trading today and exceeding weakness in the late trad ing. After advances of 66 10 79 points over the level of yesterdays close, there was a fall to lev els to 20 points under ai.G the close at the low est. October traded as high as 20.00c n pound and then fell off to 19.14c. closing at that price. he tone of the clcse was barely steady
 The very vigorous advance of the first half of the session began on the opening. which vas excited and active. and remained in force until about the middle of tha morning. It was due te much better cables than due further ra,k Of condition re- rort as low us S5 pe~ cent of nor mai at the end of this month the widening of differences between months which made bullish traders easier in their minds regarding De- tober tenders and, finally, rumors of another storn. in the gulf.
 The exploding of these storm ru- mors, weather showing that they had absolutely no foundation, seemed to mark the turning point of the day. Heavy realizing by recent buyers set in and shortly this selling pressure was increased by offerings for short account on the part of traders who though the advance had been too rapid. The market was still feeling selling pressure when it closed

DEPRECIATION IN
 QUOTED VALUES
 IN DAYS TRADING
Call Loans Opened and Held at Four and Half Per Cent, and the Money Market
 Was UnaItered
Fly Associated Press

New York, September 2o.-Quoted values in the stock market suffered further depreciation today. There was a visible diminutIon of operation by bull pools and the activities of the shorts became more aggressive.
 For the first time since the Au- gust recovery, representative com mission houses sounded a note of caution. Their attitude seemed to be based on the belief that prevailing financial and industrial conditions still left much to be desired.
 The foreign situation also figured as a deterrent factor. London was 8 seller of stocks here and Dutch in- terests were reported to have taken a pessimistio view respecting the Mexican oil situation. Market fluct- nations in the main, duplicated yes- terdays movements. Prices tended moderately upward at the opening, but yielded before noon and became distinctly reactionary In the final hour, when leaders showed extreme declines of to 3h points.
 United States Steel and Baldwin. the foremost features, closed at frac- ticnal recessions, but Mexican Pe- troIeum, the two issues of Pan American, also General Electric, Studebaker, Northern Pacific and Fa- nous Players comprised the weak est stocks.
 Apart from the fact that call loans opened and held at A per cent throughout the money market was unaltered, although interior banks were said to have strengthened their lccal reserves.
 Foreign exchanges were confusing, the London rate showing compara- tive steadiness with variable reac- lions in most continental bills. cen tral European states weakened, but far eastern bills continued to i'm prove on continued purchases of sil- yer in London.
 Mexican government 4s and bs at gross gains of A. and points, were the outstanding features Of generally strong and active bona market, all the Liberty issues also showing irregular advances. Totai sales, par value, s13,775.ooo.

NEW STRENGTH IN
 WHEAT QUOTATIONS IN THE CHICAGO PIT.
Corn Was Governed By Wheat, While Oats Were Strengthened on Ex-
 port Inquiries
Rx Associated Presa

Chicago, September 2O-wheat prices displayed new strength by largely as result of wet weather northwest. Upturns, however, failed to be well maintained. The close was unsettled at the same as yester- days finish to 11c higher, with De- cember .2sQ1.2sA and May $1.31A@1.32. Corn finished un- changed to H@Ac lower; oats a shade off to Ac advance, and pro- visions varying from 10c decline to a gain of TIC.
 Excessive moisture in the spring wheat territory was reported to be hindering the free movement of the shock Accordingly, traders gave special attention to advices of tkreshing delay and to lightness of country offerings. Bullish views re- garding the exportable surplus in the United tSates and in Argentina tended further to stimulate buying. New export business, however, ap- peared to be lacking, and 1t was said some offers to resell in Europe were current below replacement cost from this country. Profit taking on the part of pit traders who had been On the buying side early in the ses- sion counted also as a weight on the market toward the last, and over balanced messages from the south west indicating that the winter wheat movement would be reduced materially after October 1.
 Corn was governed almost entirely by the action of wheat Oats were strengthened a little by export in- quiries from Belgium and Italy.
 Provisions reflected at first the bullish influence of cotton and grain, but later was affected more by de- clines in the value of hogs.

BUYING MOVEMENT. SENDS STAPLE UP. ID A HIGHER PRICE.
The General Cotton Market Closed Easy, However, at a Net Decline of Two to
 TWenty-tWo Points
By Associated Press

New York, September 20.-A con tinuation of yesterdays buying movement caused further sharp advance in the cotton market during today's early trading but after sell ing at 205Sc for December or POS points above the low level of Satur- day, morning prices broke under heavy realizing or liquidation. De- cember sold off to 19.6Sc and closed at 19.70c with the general market closing easy at a net decline of to 22 points.
 The mbarket opened firm at an ad- vance of 3S to 52 points on overnight buying orders and rapidly increased its gains during the first hour owing to the strength of Liverpool, bullish spot and crop advices and growing belief that southern holders would continue to market spot cotton grad ually. Trade interests were good buying on the advance which carried October up to 2O.15c and January to 20.52c with active months generally 70 to S1 points net higher and mak- ing a recovery 200 to 220 points from Saturdays s. low figures. This advance was evidently sufficient to attract realizing, while there was also some southern selling, and the market turned easier during the afternoon.
 Some of the large Wall street ope- rators who had been credited with buying heavily toward the end of last week were supposed to be taking profits on the advance of this morn ing, and Wall street was a heavy seller on the late decline. October sold off to 1930c and January to 19.65c or S5 to 90 points from the best and closing in the general character of the news to account for the easier turn in the market which was most generally attributed to to liquidation by Wall street and To- cal longs. Private cables reported a healthy condition in Liverpool and fair trade demand, also intimating that Manchester was waiting to buy cotton should the price break below 12 pence Liverpool bought here early, presumably on differences. although some of the English houses are said to expect the differences to widen because of the gradual reduction in Liverpool stocks.

HUBBARD,s LETTER

New York. September 20. - (Spe- cial) Liverpool more than met our improvement of yesterday on short covering and trade buying, following the strength in Egyptian futures due to reports of serious damage to the Egyptian crop by the pink boil worm. After advancing to the 20h cent level for Decembers, great deal or realizing made it's appearance. This selling was largely long cotton car ried over the previous break.
 After such sharp recovery as we have had. some reaction would be quite natural but it must not be for gotten that private crop estimates are now due and present indications point to their all being of a very bullish character.-Hubbard Bross & Co
