Those whom we have had the
pleasure of serving do not worry
about performance when we are con-

They know-and their experience

COTTON MARKET
HAS FINAL FURRY
After Wide Swings and q Gain
Not Fully Held, Close Is
25 Down to A Up.

A final furry Of liquidation by Wall
Street longs left yesterdays abbreviated
cotton market rs points lower to 4
points higher than It was at its preced-
ing close. after It had taken two distinct
swings, one to level Of Is to IS points
decline. and the other to one OF 10 to
23 points advance As was seen at the
close. neither the decline or the gain
was fully maintained. The market in
general was much two-sided in character
to be anything but irregular. Selling by
spot interest and the South was occa-
sionally in evidence, but not In sufficient
volume to make lasting impression.
The markets future course now de-
pends on two factors in the situation {:
the attitude Of the Southern spot holder
and the demands Of spinning interests.
AS long as no unfavorable turn in Eu-
ropean affairs takes place. the strong
holders In the cotton belt probably will
outnunber the weaker at least fifteen to
one. From the attitude Of those strong
holders Of spot cotton. the futures mar
ket is liable to take It's initiative.
The final governmental consumption
report being out Of the way more and
moro attention Is being directed toward
consumption. Past markets have proved
that short crop and high priced cotton
work to restrict the use of the staple.
Mills are going to wait to buy II they
think there Is any chance of the mar
ket's having q decline. There may be
a different story to tell when the sup
ply Of goods made from old and low
priced cotton has been disposed Of.
There were no cables yesterday to in
fuence the course OF the local market.
The weather In the belt furnished a
topic for discussion Despite the frost
shown on the map, the market did not
advance. Fall River sales Of only 10000
pieces were disheartening to the bull ele-
ment. Business in the New England
centre for goods was mostly for spot or
October delivery.
The local market for spot cotton was
rs points. or Y cent q pound lower at
20.10 cents. In New Orleans the price
of spot cotton was unchanged 1T 1850
cents. The Southern centre reported
sales of 1927 bales.

Shape Market Gets Aid.

The market for spot and prompt foun-
dry coke has continued to broaden grad
ually and the outstanding feature OF the
situation Is the widespread demand.
Foundrtes all over the country are buy
Ing, but In a very reserved manner.
frices or foundry coke keep on stiffen-
ing ana although standard grade can
still be obtained at $4.25 there is a
little more trend than formerly to $3.50
as price for ordinary coke, while sew
cral favorite brands are held firmly at
$4.75 and are selling at that figure.
Some consumers would like to make
contracts, but operators are unwilling to
tie themselves up. The market Is
quotable as follows: Spot furnace, $3.4O
63.60: contract furnace. S3.50@S.75.
and spot foundry. s4.2504.75.
Impetus has been given to the struc-
tural shape market In the last ten days
Dy fabricators who are ordering shapes
Tor stock which probably has been
brought about through the higher price
named by the Carnegie Steel Company
on shapes, 1.75 cents. base Pittsburgh,
ana the tendency on the part of other
producers to harmonize their quotations
on that basis. As lower prices are still
obtainable the market remains quotable
at 1.60 to LIS cents. although it is un-
derstood that some recent quotations did
not go below 1.65 cents. From the fig-
ures which applied on certain Jobs re-
Gently let for material, fabricated and
erected. 1t appears that LAS cents was
the basis for figuring the steel, but no
such prices are discovered in open quo
tations.
Most Of the present demand for tubu-
lar goods Is for line pipe and perhaps
because OF the fact that more drastic
concessions are available than ordina-
rily Is the case. 1t is generally con-
ceded that line pipe Is the weakest of
the tubular products. some mills always
being willing to shade the line pipe card
discounts. The increase Of 10 to 30
cents In crude petroleum several days
ago Is expected to be Of benefit to the
pipe market In causing a further de-
mand Mil operations continue on a
slightly accelerated scale. made possible
by the influx Of orders after the recent
reduction.

COFFEE.

The coffee futures market was dull
affair yesterday. After opening with
decline OF 2 to points. with December
selling at 7.s0, that option worked off
to 7.85, then back to 7.S9 at the close.
The days business was OF such small
volume, being less than four thousand
bags. that there was no particular char
acter to the trading. The easing UP In
the demand for spot coffee from interior
points checked trade covering Of hedged
contracts In December and the market
was responsive to comparatively light
offerings either way. The close was a
point to 4 points net lower. What few
new offers were here from Brazil were
unchanged to q littls higher.
The range OF prices In yesterdays cof-
fee futures market was as follows:

mand from the South for galvanized
roofing sheets and other building
sheets continues unabated and II is
etated that no Southern State Is abb
sent from the list of buying commu-
mites. Sheet producers are greatly en-
couraged over the volume OF orders
which continue to find their way to
mills at the new levels, 2.5O cents on
blue annealed, cents on black and 4
cents on galvanized, and there Is a
quickening up of business all around.
It Is apparent that the years end Is

fed within the next two weeks Is not In

are making inquiries for their supplies

Special Despatch 70 THE NEW YoRx HnaAIp.
PITTSBURGH. Oct. 8.-A campaign for
business has been started by the pro-
ducers Of bars, shapes and plates. who
have been stirred by the success of the
wire and sheet mills in their recent drive
for tonnage to pave the way for the
price advances that have since become a
fact in these lines, and It is believed that
an advance In bars. shapes and plates Is
in the making. Shading Of 1.60 cents on
those products lately has been very rare
and then only on special inducement
The actual demand for sheets Is found to
be inherently stronger than was at first
supposed. More than 100000 tons were
put on the books OF sheet makers
IN the recent movement and al
though II was thought that much of
that tonnage was taken simply to avoid
price advance 1t Is found now that a
majority of the buyers really want the
sheets as fast as they can be delivered.
Although 1t Is not proved that the recent
price advance will hold indefinitely, some
mills already are discussing the pros
pects OF an additional advance and It is
q fact that every day some business is
being placed at the advanced prices. II
Is believed by men in the steel industry
that q marked Improvement in steel de-
mand will manifest itself between now
ana spring, and normal conditions are
looked for by that time.
The pig iron markets all over the
country arc showing a stifrening tend
ency. but there have been few actual
advances In the last week. Basic iron
In the local market Is stronger. Late
IN July furnaces advanced their ask
Ing price from $18 to $50, valley basis,

tanned $3.50 on several sales in sue

at That figure as a minimum, but It is
doubtful whether or not any more iron

sener remains at $50, but is IN line for
an advance as soon as any demand de-
velops. The market is quotable as fol-
