OVER PRIVATE WIRES
SHANNON A CO.'S LETTER


 New York. September 23.-(Spe- cial.)-The National Ginners' report, making the condition of cotton 42 points to a substantial reduction in the indicated crop, as compared with official end-August figures, but it was evidently a disappointment to some of the more extreme bulls, whose expectations of around 40 or under had been encouraged by the J. w. Jay & Co report of yesterday, This may have accounted for some of the scattered selling late in the forenoon which sent December down from .05c. the early high point. to 19.f5c. Later fluctuations were irregular and trading quiet The market seemed to be waiting for some fresh incentive.
 The Lesser Goldman Cotton com pany. St. Louis, reports that as a whole deterioration to the cotton crop in the territory covered by it's agents was not greater during the past week than normal, although there were still reports of boil weevil. boil worms and other in- sects.-Post & Flagg

HUBBARD's LETTER

New York, September 23--(Spe- cial)-Continue demand in Liver pool by Manchester spinners calling cotton due to the improvement in trade in India. again caused an ad- vance in Liverpool today. As usual cur market failed to meet the im- provement abroad as hedge selling from the south, and some local sell ing made it's appearance.
 The local trade here is rather against the market on the idea that too much cotton makes it's ap- pearance about 200 to permit an ad vance. They fail to realize that the crop has opened so early that we are getting in September the selling usually seen in October, and that the hedges are passing into the hands of the trade. We expect the market to at least hold these prices if not improving some. Before the govern ment report we do not expect heavy tenders on October.-Hubbard Bros. & Go

WEEKS REVIEW AND IMMEDIATE OUTLOOK
Henry CleWS, New York Financial
 Expert, Gives His Opinions
Especial to The Herald.)

New York, Oct. 15.-The interna- tional conference at Washington be- ginning in November is now the signi- hcant event to which business and finance must look forward. It seems certain that the conference will be obliged to concern itself in no small degree with financial matters. Even if these do not figure prominently in the formal deliberations unofficial dis cussion will develop understandings which may be expected to have a direct bearing upon exchange and in- ternational debt relations.
 Uncertainty in Congress.
 From the national standpoint the uncertainty in congress with refer ence to pending economic legislation is the most unsa atisfactory element in the market position. The tax bill is going through a period of extensive modification, and 1t is too soon as yet to say whether its final form has been given to it. It appears at present that >thes~repeal of the excess profits tax, effective January 1, 1922, will be retained and that the maximum sur tax rate for individual incomes will be placed at 50 per cent. Agricul- tural interests have apparently sue ceeded in forcing the abandonment of the transportation tax as well as some of the so-called "nusiance taxes '' Although Senator Shoot is still hope full of the adoption of the sales tax as a substitute for some of the other taxes provided for in the bill this must be considered a matter still to l be determined by negotiation The sales tax plan has, however, gained in stre1 gth within the past two weeks and now has a substantial number of members Supporting it, as we'll as a large general support among the bus mess community. It is not impossible that the measure may be adopted ir some form in conference committee as a compromise.
 Further Improvement in Business. A favorable report on the thrilled orders of the United States Steel cor poration, showing a gain of about 29,O00 tons and leaving the total at 4,560,000 tons, coupled with better demand for various classes of products has been taken by trade experts as marking the turn of the tide in the steel industry, although it has as yet had no particular effect upon market condition Other indications, how ever, continue to point to a better trade situation. Among them are the upward movement of prices, which although still slight, amounting to | possibly 2 per cent for September, is nevertheless an important indicator, and the increasing volume of pro- duction in number of important in- dustries. Motor concerns are in many instances turning out a large number of care and textile conditions, al- though irregular, are distinctly bet ter. The effect of higher prices for
 cotton is at length being reflected in
 improved collection prospects and better bank credit conditions in the
 Southern and Southwestern states.

ago, marks Columbus Day as a hol- iday, but evidently the local freight agent does not recognize it as such, the men say.
 The matter was taken before a meeting of the Brotherhood of Rail- road Clerks in Hartford Thursday evening, and an investigation of the affair was immediately begun. A conference between the clerks who have been discharged and the super intendent of. the local division who is stationed in Waterbury, has been arranged for today, and some sort of an agreement may be reached.
 The clerks state that they were within their rights in not working Columbus Day, and declare that J. F. Leitch, the local freight agent, went beyond his authority in ignoring an agreement signed by the head of f1cia1s of the road. They have hopes of being reinstated in their old posi- | tions in the near future.F F-@
