EARLY DECLINES
 DID NOT HOLD LONG
 |NCOTT0N TRADING
General Market Closed Firm at a Net Advance Of 20 to 30 Points on
 the Day
Rx assnciafed press

New York, September 24.--Early
 declines were followed by rallies in
 the cotton market today on trade
 buying and covering for over the week end December contracts ad- vanced from 19.55c to 20.00c, closing at 1s.9se with the general market
 closing firm at a net advance of 20 to 90 points.
 The market was unsettled at the start. The hedge selling which had been in progress at the close of the previous day was again in evidence
 and there was further scattering liquidation which was probably pro-
 noted by disappointment over the light export movement of the past week, and the gloomy views of a 1 former government official who has recently returned from an effort to I sell cotton on the continent, and who 1 predicts that European spinners will 1 not buy ahead until money condt- tions are stabilized. Active months sold about 12 to 20 points net lower right after the call with October touching 19.20c and January 19.52c, but the hedge selling then tapered
 off, while there was very little pres sure from other sources, and the | market did better in the later trad i ing.
 For time buying was held in l check by expectations of increased pressure from the south, which has 1 been offering cotton here pretty free I l.y fnr ' i two or three days, but no such pres- sure developed this morning. and l there was a final spurt of covering This carried October up to 19.65c and 1 January to 20.00c with last prices l only point or two off from the best.
 Reports that a southwestern trade | publication estimated the crop al | 6,666, 900 bales, was without any ap- parent effect on the days market | as the figures were about in line with opinions recently expressed as {, to the public showing of the coming | government report.

 WALL STREET LIST
Trading In Foreign Exchange Was Perfunctory Aside From Sterling and Francs.
 Greek Rate Heavy
By Associated Press

New York, September 24-Trading in stocks today was subjected to con- flicting clements, the further ad- vance of rails being counterbaianced by heaviness of foreign oils. Gains of 1 to 3 points among transporta- tions were led by Cleveland, Cincin- natl. Chicago and St. Louis (Big } Four), based largely on that roads excellent annual statement. Paciftcs added to recent advances and St, Paul represented the stronger grangers. Pools were active in chemicals. fer tilizers and domestic oils, effectng temporary gains of to 2 points, but the usual. leaders among steels. equipments and motors moved with in comparatively narrow bounds.
 Selling of Royal Dutch, which suf- fered an extreme setback of five points, affected Mexican Petroleum and General Asphalt, those issues re- acting 1A to 2h points. Sumatra Tobacco was under steady pressure and contributed to the irregular tone. Sales amounted to 235,000 shares.
 The bond market retained its re cent active and strong trend, with iuftiST uSdNy uediiHSS III AiSoi " sues, mostly at advances. Similar tendencies were shown by convert ible railway issues.
 Trading in foreign exchange was perfunctory, aside from sterling ana francs. The Greek rate was heavy and far eastern quotations were con fusing, Japanese bills falling back again, while the Chinese or Shang- hai quotation made another advance, presumably on further buying of sil- yer here and in London.
 Weekly reviews of mercantile au- thorities were in keeping with recent hopeful forecasts. The buying de- mand in wholesale lines showed an increase over the preceding week and was much larger than in the core spending period of 1920, collections also improving.

New York, September 24.-(Spe- cial.( (-The market after opening down under last nights closing fig ures advanced gradually under mild covering and commission houses buy ing, The steadiness of the mark et was laid to the fact that trade buy ing orders were underneath the mar ket--this prevented any short selling from local interests The condition of the crop still continues bad.

by october 1, the widening premium on December over October put an en- tirely different and better look on october position and renoved fears of heavy tenders, especially on the first notice day. which is Monday. During the late trading the market was full of rumors to the effect that longs in October were likely to ask for the delivery of altogether more cotton than the shorts would care to furnish. October at its best traded up to 19.40c and December rose to 19.75c; on the close october stood at 1s.35c and December at 19.70c

SEE HIGHER PRICES Jay & Co. Urge Producers to Sell No More Than Necessary

J. W. Jay < Co.,, of New York wired M. D. Orcutt their local rep reseritat tive yesterday as follows:
 ~Never in our opinion have the men in the cotton trade and the cot ton industry been so determined to deceive themselves as now. The theory prevails that 20 cents for flu lure contracts and 20 cents for good grade cotton in the interior dis- counts the calamity which confronts the industry.
 The economic consequences of the short supply for this season and the great uncertainties for the next are not now calculabie particularly whe Ia one considers the under consump- ton of the past seven years resulting in a world bare of manufactured goods and spinners holding a very small stock of the raw material
 .'The English and European spin ners foresee the dangers and are pre- pairing for them in so far as they can while the American spinners stand bewildered and buy little because they will not believe that the cotton plant can be destroyed as has been the one of this year--The producers are selling at these tempting prices but they should sell only such quan- titles as their own financial condi- ton and the normal trade demand requihe that they may later grad ually supply the American trade and share some of the profits of the de- plorable misfortune which mensces the cotton industry of the world"

Chicago, September 24.-The wheat market was unsettled on the board of trade here today with prices fluc- tuating rather rapidly at times and going into a decline at the finish when December closed 1 to 14c down at st.25% and May 1s4 to 2c off at s1.29A to s1.3o. Corn dropped a shade in sympathy with wheat while oats showed independent strength and finished unchanged to a shade advance.
 The bulk of the wheat trade was of local character, with considerable weekend evening up, but the light outside trade prevented any great enthusiasm, and a majority of the traders were disposed tq keep close to shore.
 Corn and oats were somewhat un- settled, but the undertone was easy, as there was little in the news of D constructive character. Trade was mainly local.
 Provisions were lower on lack of support and moderate selling with the greater part of the trade in lard. Heavy shipments for the week failed to have any effect
