Late Months In Wheat Went to New High on Chicago Board Trade
By Associnted Press

Chicago, September 9.-Wheat sold for new highs for September and December on the present movement Iof the Chicago Board. of Trade here today, while May touched new ground for the season. There was a break of around 2K cents early owing to la bearish construction placed on the government crop report, but it was more than recovered later, May ad- vancing cents over the opening, which was the low mark of the day. The news, with the exception of the government report, was bullish, the drought In Argentine being the lead ing factor. According to Buenos Aires cables the drought continues, and unless rains come shortly. fears of heavy damage are expected. Sep tember wheat closed 4Ac over the 'opening and Ac over the low of the day. December closed 4Ac to 4&c lover the opening. and Ac over the low.
 Corn was helped by the advance in wheat, and closing prices showed gains of ssc to Bc. The market showed more activity, and while lower early on the bearish govern ment report, later advanced to above yesterdays finish. Buying was mainly of a local character, but there was some investment purchases.
 Oats showed independent strength in the session, and with broader trade advanced to a new high on .he present movement, being Ss O 1sc up at the finish. Provisions were easier on scattered commission house sell ing, which offset to great extent the advance of 10@25 cents in hogs and buying of October lard by pack CTS.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON Ry AssnCiatAd PrAaa

New Orleans, La, September D. After a period of unsettled trading in the early part of today's session, the cotton market acquired a very firm tone and rose about cent and a quarter pound on the months under most buying pressure. Heavy rains in Texas, reports of good spot de- mand in most sections of the interior and the hurricane in the West h. dies were the main buying influences. Possibly the hurricane attracted more attention than anything else for it was felt that if storm of this character should bore into the belt at this time, with world of cotton open in the fields the results would be highly disastrous to a crop that has felt one disaster after another throughout the season. Highest prices came late in the day and at 1S5 to 143 points over the close of yesterday. Later positions Jagged behind, not being so active. The close was at net gains of S4 to 12l points on the list. October traded up to 1s.SSc and closed at 1s.25c. In the early trading very much higher Liverpool than due and the hurri- cane warnings caused advances of 55 to 7S points. after which there was series of reactions and recove cies on a moderate scale. At one time the list was depressed to levels 20 points higher to 2 points lower than the close of yesterday. Liquidation from the long side was the main reason for this. Towards the mid dle of the day recoveries were stronger on cables from Liverpool quoting British board of trade reports for August as showing exports of 15,20o.0o0 pounds of yarns against 12,s00.o00 the same month last year. the best showing by British textiles in many months. The market was further helped by the weekly sta tistics in which world takings of American cotton were put at 2s2. 900 bales against 1sl.ooo this week last year and 1S7.oo0 this week two years ago.

New York, September 9.-Dun's to- morrow will say: With a continu- ance of the favorable tendencies late ly noted the general business situa- tion is gradually assuming . more encouraging aspect. While recupera- ton from depression is still delayed in various quarters, the hopeful phases are now less difficult of dis Gernment and confidence is causing scme uncertainty and hesitation in ory goods channels has had beneficial influence in the south, where strengthening of financial conditions is being reflected in improving coll lections and an increasing absorption of merchandise.

Weekly Cotton Reuieu Shows Extraordinary Actiuity In the Staple
By BRIGGS
By Associated Press

New York. September 9-It has been week of extraordinary activity in the cotton market. The buying movement which had been started by the bullish government crop report of week ago Thursday, was con- tinued in Liverpool, while the domes- tic markets were closed for over the Labor Day adjustment, and it was not until December contracts sold at 21.S0c in the market here on Wednes- day morning that the advance met any important opposition.
 At this price December showed an advance of nearly 6c per pound from the low point on the reaction just before the census bureau report, and recovery of more than 10c per pound from the low record of last June. Realizing then became exceed ingly heavy, and while the maximum fluctuation rule had been required to check the runaway bull market of Tuesday, the same rule limiting the price movement to 200 points for any one day was brought into operation by the decline of Wednesday after noon.
 At the low point of yesterday De- cember sold to IS .40c, but this reac- tion of approximately 3hc per pound evidently put tht market in a health fer technical position, and today's market was higher on continued trade buying and covering. The lat ter was promoted by threat of trop ical storm which local traders be- l;eve would cause damage to the grade of considerable cotton if it should reach the belt and cause an appreciation in the value ot local stock, most of which is described as very attractive both in the matter of grade and staple.
 The early week advance in Liver pool was accompanied by large spot sales, suggesting that foreign spin ners who have been carrying compar- atively small stocks, had been alarmed by the small crop figures and were trying to secure cover.
 Spot sales in the south also in- creased on the advance, and the eff forts of speculative longs to secure profits between 21c and 22c for fu- lures was probably increased by ru- mors that some of the southern banks were advising a reduction of spot holdings in order to liquidate old ob- ligations and ease the financial po- sitions.
 No general volume of hedge selling developed, however, and southern buying of near months here was one of the features on today's recovery of about 1ac per pound from Thurs day's low point

EXCITEMENT IN THE COTTON MARKE I P AR TL.Y SUbS|DED
Net Advance Made In General Market With Close Steady, Net Sixty-one to Hundred
 Twenty-Five Points Up
By Associated Press

New York, September 9.-While there were very wide fluctuations in the cotton market again today the extraordinary excitement and activity of the past week or more seemed to be subsding. An opening advance met quite furry of held-over liq- uidation but reactions of 50 to 80 firmer market during the afternoon. Near months led the advance and De- cember contracts which had reacted from 19.42c to 1S.80c during the earlier trading, advanced to 19.95c compared with 1S.65c. the closing price of yesterday and 1S40c, the low point touched on yesterdays re- action. That delivery closed at 19.S3c with the general market clos ing steady at a net advance of 61 to 12o points.
 The opening advance of 59 to 73 points reflected the healthier tech nical position of the market after the heavy liquidation of the two previous days and the firmer ruling of Liver pool. There was also buying on re- ports that a tropical storm was near
 
 ward the belt, but there was consid- crable southern hedge selling which recalled yesterdays rumors that southern bankers were advising hold CTS to sell part of their spot cotton around present prices. This checked the opening advance and later in the morning prices weakened under a re- newal of liquidation which sent January and later months s to 20 points below last nights close.
 January sold off to 18.60c but the oecline was checked around 1S45c for October or 5 points above yes terdays final quotation and the buy ing became more active after mid : day Reports of showers or rains in the south combined with apprehen- sions regarding the course of the tropical storm seemed to account for the relative firmness of the near months. Anything like general rains in the south at this time would be expected to lower the grade of the new crop which would mean an appreciation ir the value of old crop cotton

BUYING BY POOLS
 CHECKED BEARS
 LATE IN SESSION
All Classes of Stocks Partici. pated In the UpsWing of the Afternoon, Trading Be-
 ing Very Broad
By Associated Press

New 1ork, September 9.-The stock market was subjected to fur ther professional pressure in the first half of today's active session, 5ct rallied briskly later when con- fident buying by pools more than neutralized bearish aggressions. Secretary Hoover's forecast of busi- ness improvement, the increased production reported by mills at lead ing industrial centers and further relaxation of money rates, as indi- cated chiefly by freer offerings of time funds, were among the factors which prompted curtailment of short contracts. passing of the dividend of Continen- tai Canvas offset by declaration of the regular Chandler Motor dis bursement and payment of divi- dends by ''Nickelplate" on the pre- ferred and common shares for 1918 and 1919.
 All classes of stocks participated in the upswing of the afternoon, the trading then being the broadest of the current movement. Equipm snts, notably Baldwin and American Lo- comotive. General Electric, Ameri- can Car and Pressed Steel Car were liioSt prominent, at gains or two 10 five points. Motors, steels, coppers, oils and unclassified shares trailed along at an irregular pace, but food specialties were handicapped by an- other cut in refined sugars. Rails were strong, but relatively inactive. Maximum quotations were made to- wards the close, despite extensive realizing for profits and call moneys advance from to 511 per cent. Mixed conditions prevailed in the foreign exchange market. Weakness in French and Belgian rates was ascribed to offerings from London. Sterling held firm, and Austrian and German bills rallied slightly, but Dutch and Scandinavian remittances forfeited part of their recent ad- vances.
 Local fractions were among the strongest features of the bond list on the better outlook for Intarbor- ough. Rails and industrials also improved. but Liberties showed mixed gains and losses, internation- als easing on the irregular exchange market. Total sales. par value, were $12.400,000.
