COTTON MARKET IS WAITING ON SPOTS AND GOODS TRADE
Less Excitement in Staple, With General Market Clos ing Weak, Net 23 to 60
 Points Off
By Associated Press

| NeW Ork, oeptemDCr l0.--Ine cot ton market was much less active to- day, with local brokers attributing | the smaller volume of business to | subsiding excitement over the crop outlook and tendency to await de- velopments in the goods and spot markets. There were further wide 1 fluctuations, however, December sell ing up from 19. 55c at the opening to 9.59c, and later breaking to 19 4Sc That delivery closed at 9.52c. com pared with 21 .10c, at the close of the previous day, and the general mar ket closed weak at net decline of 23 to so points.
 The market opened barely steady at decline of 37 to 47 points in re- sponse to easier Liverpool cables and reports of better weather in the south There was good deal of scattering liquidation and some southern selling, but it was pretty well taken around 19 .40c for Octo- Der and 19. .3oc for January. Rallies followed on reports of a firm spot basis in the south. including claims that middling could not be bought in the interior of Texas at prices which would show a cost of less than 150 points on October landed in New York. There were also rumors late in the morning that prominent Chicago authority estimated the con dition of the crop at 40, which would indicate a falling off of s.3 points since August 25. Demand failed to broaden much on the bulge, however, and when the rumor was denied, prices broke sharply. October sold off from 19 .75c to 19. soc and January from 1997c to 19 .35c Tn the late trading, and the close was within few points of the lowest
 Brokers with Wall street connec- tions were more or less steady sell CTS during the day, leading to some talk of a steadier technical position late in the afternoon, although iqul- da ton continued right up to the close.
 There was more southern hedge selling reported during the day, but 1t was accompanied by reports of in- creased spot sale. in the south. Trad ing at times during the day was all most dull, but became more active on the break late in the afternoon, when the talk around the ring showed quite a reactionary senti- ment in local circles on the report that small crop estimates had been pretty well discounted, and that goods buyers were slow to place orr ders on advances.

POTATOES
SHIPPING BOARD TO
 CONTINUE TO DEAL
 FAIRLY WITH LABOR

Washington. September l5.--tSpe- cial.)-The United States shipping board will continue to deal with the utmost fairness to organized labor. but will insist that organized labor must deal fairly with the United States shipping board.
 This fact has already been dem onstrated. The board has adopted q resolution as result of which it will employ any labor available whenever members of the longshoremen's union fail to perform in accordance with their agreement with the shipping board.
 Some time ago the board was in formed that members of the long shoremen's union at New Orleans and Mobile had refused to load ves- sells solely because cotton to be loaded had previously been handled by non-union labor in warehouses and timber to be loaded had been rafted from booms by n-union la Dor. The operations division was instructed to employ labor in ths open market at New Orleans and Mo bile and where and when member rs of the longshoremen's union, in vio- lation of their agreements now F. effect. refuse to load vessels of the United States shipping board"
 The board insists that managine operators of shipping board vessels running from gulf ports scrupuously observe the wage agreement adopted last October because of the mora obligation resting upon them" re gardless of the action of operator of other than shipping board vessels
 The resolution authorizing and di- recting the employment of any avail able labor whenever the members the lorgshoremens union refuse tf live up to their agreement with ths shipping board was offered by Com missioner Frederick I. Thompson, an' was unanimously adopted.

ADDITIONAL BLAST FURNACES BLOWN
 IN LAST Z WEEKS
Production Undergoing h. crease-Augusf Output of Steel Ingots Shows
 Increase
By BRIGGS

Cleveland, O., September 15.-(Spe- al.)-The Iron Trade Review today says: Signs of moderate broadening of iron and steel consumption arc more conclusive. September is more than holding it's own with August volume of orders, which in many lines was the best of the year. Pro- duction is undergoing slow but ses- tained increase which is best illus trated by blowing in of additional blast furnaces.
 No less than half dozen furnaces have resumed since September l. Impressive increase of more than Al per cent in August output of steel ingots tends more to accent the ex tremely low stage of July total, since production last month was at the rate of only 16,0O0.000 tons annually. or probably less than 35 per cent of normal.
 The past week made a more favor able showing in number and tonnage of structural awards. Contracts placed the total easily at 15,000 tons, railroad buying again increasing. An advance of s2 to $3 per ton in wire products was put in effect by the largest producers, and generally followed by the independent mills, in contrast to continuing weakness i'll many of the other finished steel lines.
 This advance. followed by closing by the mills of numerous contracts for 60 to 90-day deliveries, involves in excess of 100000 tons at previous lower prices.
 Slight gain of from s35 s5 to s3o. 56 Is shown by the Iron Trade Reviews market composite this week, due principally to advances in wire prod ucts and pig iron. This compares with an average of s35. .99 in Au- gust, $6S in September, 1920, and S25 55 in September, 1913.
 Pig iron stocks are deslining for the first time in about year. as better shipping movement than in August is being maintained, and somewhat increased in the present month Reduction of stocks in the south in August was better than 29,- 900 tons.
 New sales also are keeping up in larger volume. Lower prices quoted by American mills are meeting for eign competition to better advantage and are bringing more new business.
 Heavy purchases of basic iron, to- taling 100000 tons or more by Brit- ish steel works from LuXemberg or Lorraine furnaces, have featured foreign market British production of steel ingots for August was up to about 50 per cent, but of pig iron was only about 10 per cent. Belgian iron output has fallen off S9 per cent since January.

HUBBARD,s LETTER

New York, September 15.-(Spe- al.)-Heavy hedge selling from the south again made it's appearance both in Liverpool and New York causing an early decline in spite of the fact that sales in Liverpool reached 10000 bales. American mill interests were good buyers on the break with some of yesterdays seli- CTS repurchasing the cotton sold in the late afternoon.
 We must expect a good deal of hedge selling during the next few weeks but think that trade buying will be sufficient to take care of these offerings. While not expect ing any immediate advance of no- ment, we see no reason to change our opinion that the small prospective crop means eventually higher prices. Hubbard Bros. x Co.
