Oct. 10
The outstanding features at the close
of the week are not uniform. On the
favorable SIDE we have the best com
mercial reports in many months. Trade
throughout the country is expanding, ana
this is supplied by the last figures pub
lished yesterday morning, that the month
of September showed an increase Of
over S00,00O active spindles in the cotton
mills, as compared with August.
On the unfayoraDle side is the con-
troversy between the railroads and the
un ons. The unions have empowered their
officials to call a strike because of the
last wage cut, and the proposition is put
forth to reduce wages again. This is
of such vast importance that 1t over
shadows all favorable developments, and
the result will be of the utmost cOnse-
Quence, either for continued recovery,
commercially, or for serious setback.
No one should attempt to minimize the
serious consequence of railroad strike
at this particular time. This cOntr0-
versy has lad an unfavorable effect upon
the stock market, as it has restrained in
vestment and brought liquidation, and,
while not on a very large scale, was
sufficient uA,er the circumstances, to
depress values.
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
were the leading sufferers, and In meas
ure reflected the unsatisfactory condi-
tons in the Northwest and the strong
sentiment among railroad employees of
that section.
While it is only natural to look for
ward with some hope for settlement of
the railway controversy, nevertheless she
seriousness OF the situation should not
be ignored and, until final decision is
reached, the market viii be sensitive to
all reports in regard to II.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 2.-The Farmers,

United States Grain Growers. Inc. is
denied the right to sell $780, 900 of pre-
ferred stock in Mime sofa in an order
issued late to-day by the State Securi-

In its application to the commits
sion the Farmers Finance Corporation
reported it had issued its twenty-one
shares Of no par value stock to the
United States Grain Growers, Inc, a
non-stock corporation formed under the
laws OF Delaware, and also had issued
ny shares of the stock for $4,000 cash.

Textile Industry
Interest C'enters
On Cotton Rise
Increased Operations Re-
ported at Most of the
Big New England Mills;
Trade Is Optimistic

NEW BEDFORD, Sept. 3.-This week
has been in the nature of stock TAX
ing from the cratic developments
throughout the cotton industry which
reached climax at the close of last
week. Not that this week has been
devoid of activity, some sensational in
character, but order has been restored
from the INDIGESTION of last week and
the industry has returned to more
normal conditions with the point of
view in keeping with the new levels.
Interest has conferred upon the con-
tinued upward swing of the cotton
market. By those following it, the
period is pronounced one which will
make history in the annals of the in
look, they do not see boom times and
consequently do not understand where
boom times prices can be made to fit.
Yet the predicted reaction has not
come. Fall River has lead the way
in actual transactions. Cloth pur-
chasers in that city-<are said to be on
more conservative basis than last
week, when record of 100000 pieces
was established, but it has held its
gains in actually improved conditions.
The Fall River manufacturers have
been forced into the market for raw
cotton by the realized sales, and a busy
week by brokers is reported. In New
Bedford there has been greater hest
fancy. The cotton market got out of
bounds in the face of the more gradual
return to improved conditions here, and
manufacturers demanding more than
the promise of prosperity have held
themselves open for purchase of raw
material, but not at prevailing prices
to cover much beyond immediate needs.
Still there has been an increase in cot
ton buying over last week.
Unemployment which has been on the
wane for some time has been narrowed
quite preceptably by recent develop
ments. Fall River mills lead the way,
full time operations. One or two are
running overtime. The Sharp mill in
New Bedford has been operating part
of its plant nights. Bue so far as
New Bedford is concerned no labor
shortage exists at present. Workers
are being added gradually, however,
leaving no gauge as to when the mar
gin of the availability of competent
help has been absorbed. Thousands of
workers have left New Bedford during
the depression, and it is generally
recognized that the mills could not
open at full capacity without obtain
ing additional workers from else
where.
The announcement to-day that with
the exception Of the New Bedford
Spinning Company of the Passac Cot
ton Mills, the New Bedford mills will
close one day for Labor Day, is re-
garded as another encouraging sign.
Over an extended period, with the out
put already extensively curtailed, every
holiday has been taken advantage Of
to remain closed for three or four
days and in some instances the entire
week.

Cotton Rise Helps Loan
Situation i'm .Soufh

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3.-The adj
vance IN the price of cotton of more
enan cents pound or over $40 a bale
mas greatly heartened the banking in
tcrests OF this city as we'll as the banks
OF the surrounding cotton country
which have been loaded up with loans
on cotton which could not be l;nui-
dated without disastrous results. Much
OF the approximately 100000 bales car
r'ed IN stock in New Orleans could not
De sold and shipped away because some
VI IN would nave to be sold at about 20
Genus pound to meet the advances or
loans MADE with warehouse receipts
covering such cotton as collateral.
with the price of middling now II
cents pound in the local market with
every prospect of going higher. and
with the outlook for light offerings
from the new crop, there is certain to
be demand for the old cotton carried
over which will gradually move out the
cotton hypothecated for loans as the
price reaches liquidation basis The
same condition of affairs exists in the
case of the country banks which are
now IN better position to permit an or
derry liquidation of loans since the
more liberal policy adopted by the
Federal Reserve System became effec-
tive.
While bankers are reluctant to be
quoted on the situation they all talk
cheerfully of the outlook, the prosnect
for the early liquidation of frozen
loans represented by long held cotton
being especially cause for confidence
and faith in the future. That MANY
holders of cottonsa are finding it profit
able to sell at present figures is shown
by the steady increase in spot sales

tai sales to-day at Southern centers

Tide Turns
In Favor of
Cotton Men
Squirt in Market Believed
Likely to Bring About
Rapid Correction of an
Unsatisfactory Situation
South is More Cheerful
Reports From New Orleans
and Memphis Take Hope
full View of the Outlook

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 3-The
strong advance Of spot cotton values
during the last few days, and continued
advices confirming opinion that the
crop damage has not been overesti-
mated, encourages bankers here to ex-
press the belief that this years cotton
crop will sell above rather than below
present price levels. Middling is quoted
on Change to-day at 1850 cents, an
advance Of about $50 bale compared
with low prices in June.
Basis. middling, ten designated mar
kets, averages a shade above II cents.
Such values, it is suggested in con-
servative circles, indicate that the tide
has turned in favor Of the cotton grow
err, and embarrassments which it was
feared would some to the surface, at
the best. or would have to be nursed
along for several years, may be cor
rected during the current statistical
year. Under rules recently established
here all collateral cotton will be graded
before the loans made, so that there
Will no longer exist an incentive to
accumulate stocks of low grades. 1t
seems to be the policy here to make
loans up to about three fourths of the
market value of collateral cotton, which
policy, it is limited, will probably OBJ
tain so long as values do not rise
above relatively normal values. At the
same time. banks indicate a disposi-
tlon to insist upon liquidation that
Will be thorough and as speedily ac-
complished as possible without depress-
ing values. 1t is pointed out that with
crop of about 100000 bales, carry
over of 100000 bales without linters
and estimated consumption of 10000
900 bales, the statistical position of
cotton is exceptionally strong when it
is considered that from 90 to 80 per
cent of the carryover consisted of odds
and ends of several crops, undesirable
for spinning, and which probably would
not be used except as a last resort
and If used would produce perhaps as
much as SO per cent waste.
Unsold stocks of cotton in hands of
factors here have been reduced far be-
low what they were at the correspond
ing time last year, and demand is

cotton is moving out much more rap
idly than has been the case for MANY
months. Cotton merchants are dailv
charging their ideas as to staple cot
ton values, due mostly to the great de-
terloration which has ACQUIRED during
the last two weeks in the delta below
Memphis. AS high as IS cents has been
offered for strict middling full IL
inch staples. No apprehension has de-
veloped on the part of either cotton
merchant or bankers as to availability
OF sufficient funds for an orderly mar
keting of the crop, and it is the con-
sensus Of opinion that bankers will not

exports amounting to 523,000,O0O. Let
them compare this with 1915 figures,
which are considerably less than one
fifth of the 1921 record. Even 1920
shows only $4,000, 900 exported to
South America.
In 1915 we sold to Europe little
less than $4,000, ooo, 900; in 1920.
$4,000, 900 900; in the fiscal year ended
July, 1921, $3,400, ZOO, 900.
In view of the fact that the decrease
An our foreign trade, which we must all
admit is partly due to a decrease in
prices, did not really get going until
about the first of this year, it is hardly
fair to compare the total exports of
the fiscal year 1921 with previous
years, but it IL interesting to note that,
while our 1921 fiscal year exports
amount to $500, 600 900, which is
s1,500,000,000 less than 1920, the 1921
figures are more than double the fig
ures for 1915.
The foregoing is merely a suggestion
of the encouragement that NAV be
found in a proper and open minded
analysis Of our foreign trade figures,
OF course. it. is true that our trade is
decreasing, but it seems to me the fact
that we have been able to hold so large
trade in spite of conditions should
furnish strong incentive to American
exporters for greater efforts in holding
what they have of foreign business.
| 1t is not to be denied that Great
Britain. Germany and the other Euro
pean countries, to smaller degree, are
bending every effort to get for them
selves our wartime markets, and thew
will succeed in their work only to that
degree in which the American exporter
permits them to succeed.
