 in Both Iron and Steel

Cleveland, O.. October 5.--(Special) The Iron Trade Review today says: Improvement in iron and steel sit nation now is so diversified that 50 per cent operations are in sight for the first time in about eight months.
 At present the industry is approx imately on a 40 per cent basis sheet division, with better than lSO per cent average. Output leads all other lines, followed by tubes. tin plate and wire.

The daily rate of production in Sep tember was 32,530 tons, compared with 20,S02 tons in August The number of furnaces active September 30 was S4, an increase of IS. Order books of impressive size have been accumulated by mills in some prod ucts. The situation in sheets s most notable
 Independent sheet mills on Septem- Der 30 had total combined orders for 324,000 tons, equivalent to seven weeks of full rolling.
 A leading sheet producer has been entering new business at better than 90 per cent of capacity.
 Wire mills are In comparable posi- ton. Tubular tonnage. especially line pipe, is coming out in heavier volume.
 Tin plate is moving more freely, Appearance of some rail buying in the west where three small roads lave closed for 25,0oo to sO,00o tons, is welcome break In weeks of i'm activity in this market.

 Ry Aasociufed Press


 New Orleans, October 6.-Declines Of g to 2S points opened the trad ing in cotton today, but after De- market took on much stronger tone and during the remainder of the ses- sion a great deal of strength was displayed the more active months in the late trading standing 75 to S5 points higher than the close of yes- terday Last prices were at net gains of 69 to so points. Decem- Der traded up to 20 and closed at 199Sc.
 The decline on the opening was caused by a very pcor Liverpool, but buying of strong character met the initial soft spot and upturns were soon brought about, The support Was due to telegrams from Texas stating that farmers had refused to sell at yesterdays decline and to cahlegrams from Liverpool saying that Texas had stopped offering cotton.
 As the session progressed the mar ket was full of rumors that trade interests were taking hold in a large way. Interior points commenced to wire in that large concerns were buy ing spots wherever they could get them and further cablegrams from Liverpool said that large business was being done in cloths by Man chester. In the late trading the mar ket moved up to it's highest levels on predictions of sharp falling off in ginning in the near future.

EXPECTED REACTION IN GRAIN MARKET
 SENDS UP PRICES.
Days Trade Was Somewhat Larger in the Pit Than Has Been the Rule
 of Late
By Associated Press

Chicago, October 6.--Belief ex- pressed in various quarters that a reaction was due, after the recent long decline did good deal to lift prices in the wheat market today. The close was strong at 1A @2c net higher with December $1.130113H and May $1.17% @1.1S. Corn gained B c # to 1c, and oats 1s 6 1ac. In provisions the outcome varied from 15c decline to Sc advance.
 Although initial prices for wheat were the lowest yet this season, the market quickly began to ascend, and throughout the rest of the day the bulls had the advantage, except dur ing brief periods.
 Nervousness at the start was due more or less to announcement that q leading firm had withdrawn from business. Absence of any consequent unusual selling pressure, however, led to general switch to the bull side, especially as offerings appeared to be passing into strong hands, Houses, with eastern connections bought freely, and liberal amounts of do- mestic wheat were reported as haV- Ing been taken for Europe and the Orient Bullish estimates of German and Italian import requirements were also given considerable attention.
 The days trade was somewhat larger than has been the rule of late.
 Disappointing housing returns tended to put firmness into the corn market, and so, too, did big ship

 the Day
By Associated Press

New York October GA further decline at the opening of the cotton market today was checked by trade buying and reports that southern spot holders were offering much less freely at the lower levels. Rallies which followed, which carried the price of December contracts up from l9 44c to 20.42c, or nearly 1c a pound from the lowest, and that delivery closed at 20. .37c. compared with 19 56c at the close of the previous day. The general market closed firm at net advance of 61 to S1 points
 There was renewal of yesterdays selling movement during the early trading, and after opening points higher to points lower. prices soon showed net losses of 12 to 20 points on the active positions
 Liverpool was relatively easy, and there was Liverpool, also consider able New Orleans, selling here on the decline, but ali active trade de- mand seemed to be encountered be- low 1912c for December and around 10. 0Sc for January. This held the market, particularly as there ap- peared to be very little southern hedge selling, and prices turned firm CT during the middle of the day on covering by recent sellers or rebuy- ing by longs who had taken profits earlier in the week in the expecta- tion of replacing at lower figures.
 Some hedge selling was encoun- tered as the market worked up to 20c for December causing more or less irregularity during the early afternoon, but the trade demand was persistent. and the market firmed up again. reaching the highest level Of the day in the late trading. Oc- tober sold att 20 15c and January at 20c, and the market closed within q few points of the best At the low level of this morning December showed a reaction of just about 2Mc higher per pound as compared with the high price touched before the bureau on Monday morning, Numer- ous reports were received from the south, claiming that very little spot cotton was offered for sale on the decline late yesterday, and local brokers said that there was great deal of buying In futures here today to fix prices for spinners. Private cables reported liquidation in Liver pool. but a good spot demand, and the market there steadied up after the local opening.

New York Money Relaxes on Account of Easement of Credit Throughout the
 Country \
By Associated Press

New York, october 6.-Directing their attacks against certain of the more vulnerable issues, professional interests were enabled to effect fur tner irregular impairment of prices in the stock market today.
 Tobaccos. oils and Junior steels. equipments and motors were the es- pecial targets of the shorts. Su- matra Tobacco led the reaction, de- clining 3% points on the suspension of dividend payments
 Mexican and European oils bore the brunt of the reactionary move ment in that division, falling l to nearly 4 points. Selling of the for mcr again was accompanied by eff cumstantial reports dealing with the irregular productivity.
 Miscellaneous stocks, particularly mail order, chain store, food. leather, chemical and fertilizer issues, for feited l to 6 points. the precipitate decline of some of these issues sug- gesting involuntary liquidation.
 Coppers retained much of their re- cent improvement, and shippings rallied in the latter part of the ses- sion. Dealings in rails were light
 
 to low grade issues. including New orleans, Texas and Mexico, which was unusually active and strong.
 Country easement of credit conditions, as evidenced by lower re- discount rates at Philadelphia and Minneapolis, accounted for further relaxation at this center. On the ex- change call loans opened and held at 4is per cent. with free supplies at per cent outside. Although the weekly statements of the British, French and German banks reflected strained conditions abroad, foreign exchanges held or enhanced yester- day's rally for the most part.

Priuate Wires Report Cotton Held in Check; Stocks Remain on Leuel

New York. october 6.-(Special.)- The cotton market has been neither broad nor active today. Selling has been held in check to some extent by the bullish character of the spot news generally and an impression that further demand for trade ac- count would be found waiting around l9i5c for December and just below. As against this the market afforded fresh evidence today of the willing ness of holders to sell around en cents and above by the increase in offerings on the early bulge aboYe that point. Prices have, therefore backed and filled in dcsultory, ain. less fashion, waiting for fresh stim- ulus.
 We are inclined to think that liquidation has about run it's course in the contract markets, which, at times today. have prevented a rather sold-out appearance, with no impor- tant pressure impending unless that comes from liquidation of spot hold ings through some development inn possible at present to forecast
 In spite of the rather heavy tone the last few days, sentiment appears less bearish and the view is ex- pressed that the buying power around f91ac is larger than the hedge pres sure at 200.
 The stock market today has not been one of much interest and the general level remains about the same although in some quarters. like the tobacco stocks, Mexican Petroleum. etc. there has been evidence of liqui- dation. and trading on the short side The copper shares have shown more activity of late, influenced by some recent substantial purchases of the metal. The sugar shares are about the same with little improvement in Cuban Cane, preferred. and better prospects for the new financing. The sugar situation remains very diff cult, additionally complicated by the high tariff now prevailing. People are disappointed that more progress is not made in Washington. but evidently the administration is doing whatever is possible to speed up action by Congress and we may get some favorable results before long.
 The market as whole has been quite professional. with a disposition on the part of the traders to take profits and In some spots resume the short side. Sales, 530,200.-Post X Elagg.
