COTTON MARKET
GAINS SHARPLY
Movement Characterized as
Bull Movement Lead by
N. Y. Element.

NEW YORK. Sept ls.-There
was a sudden change in the aspect
of the market from the opening
today. in which prices were ad-
vanced about ] cent n pound, or
equivalent to IS a bale. with the
rise extending to between 92al0S
points from Saturdays final quota
tions. II had all the characteristics
of another bull movement led by
leading local trade bulls and Wall
Street operators who often devote
good deal of their time to trad
ing occasionally in cotton.
As far as could he learned, II
was predicated on the theory and
belief the market had gone on
21k cents for October contracts 10
2l& for December and January. as
against 22k for March and 22as
cents for May. with the decline in
Saturdays price to the low levels
OF 1910 for October, 1850 for De-
cember, lSS for January and
March. and nearly 1Sh cents for
May. This represented an extreme
decline of az to SS cents, or on
the average OF about $50 points
from the recent high levels.
As the Is cent level for cotton
with the short crop of 100000
bales for this seasons growth has
been considered a reasonable price,
the reaction from the recent violent
bulge movement due so much 70
speculative buying appeared today
to be simply regarded as an ap-
proximate basis for resumins
bullish activity after the selling
movement last week Of the pre-
vious weeks heavy speculative
purchases had apparently ran its
course.
This apparently was about all
there was behind today's sudden
fresh upturn to the market. Some
brokers said that a good deal OF
the buying had been traced to the
largest operators in stocks, and
others reported a great deal OF
covering of shorts with also fresh
buying by trade houses. One OF
the largest local bull operators
was active at times in buying and
bidding the market up. The selling
was scattered with no actual heavy
fresh pressure encountered until
the market had been advanced
above the basis OF 19 cents fol-
October and 1914 cents for May, ~
against 1888 for March. 1910 for
January. and d945 for December
There was then a good deal OF
fresh selling by Southern wire
houses and other trade commission
houses.

Crop conditions for the week
ended September 10 are covered in
reports received by the Bureau OF

States Department of Agriculture,
from its field statisticians in the
different States.
The corn crop has been maturing
well under generally favorable con-
ditions, and the bulk of the crop
is now out OF frost danger. The
harvest will be earlier than usual
and the cutting Of corn for silage
Ia nearing completion in many SEE

Threshing of winter wheat from

nearing completion. Flowing and
preparation of the soil for seeding
has been making good progress and
considerable seeding has been done.
See ding and plowing have been de-
layed in Missouri. due to excessive
rain. More rain is needed in Ne
braska and Central Kansas and In
the Middle Atlantic States.
Threshing of the cat crop Is prac-

and scarce IN many sections, and
weevil damage has been severe.
The crop has deteriorated consid-
erably in South Carolina, due 70 the
extreme heat and drought. and the
yield in Oklahoma is reported as
being very poor. The picking OF
Pima cotton Is In progress in Art

are reported Considerable damage
from the recent rain storm is re-

in the Brazos and Colorado River
valleys south OF Mc1emon County.
Winter and late fall apples arc
increasing in size in many sections
since the rains. but the total yield
will be very low. The condition Of
the apple crop in Oregon is dete-
riorating. due to the drought. Grape
picking is being rushed In West

ported to be dropping, due to the
heat. The cranberry crop in Mas

ported as being fairly good.
Livestock. Hay and Pastures -
The condition of livestock Is gem
orally favorable. and with the ex-
ception Of few scattered reports
of hog cholera no disease is re-

IMPROVED GRAIN
PRICES PREVAIL
Activity and Broader Trade
Is Result of Heavy Sell
ing Session.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1s.-Activity and
higher prices prevailed in the wheat
market with a broader trade. There
was heavy selling early credited to

at lower figures, but the offerings
were readily absorbed. The i'm

making around 97,000.000 bushels
for two months combined with the
reduction of 100000 bushels in
the Argentine crop and wet weather
Northwest were the main bullish
influences and led to considerable
commission house buying. There
was some export business put
through at the seaboard although
quantities were not given. Spot
wheat premiums here were about
unchanged and Minneapolis re-
ported a good demand on the same
basis as Saturday, but at Winnipeg
the basis was slightly higher with
wet weather prevailing Throughout
the three provinces and the fore
cast was for unsettled weather both
sides OF the international line. Sales
of $4,000 bushels of wheat were
made to 60 to store.
Corn and oats were flrmer, but
lost the advance later the strength
in wheat being offset by scattered
selling. Outside trade was not
large. Exports of corn for ten
months this season aggregate s2.-
900 bushels, the largest since 1906.

Resumption of Trade Marked
By Activity and General
Firmness.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1s.-Resump-
ticn of bond market trading over

tivity and general firmness. The
recent strong forward movement
in bonds has now brought the

SHARP DIVISION
IN CURB MARKET
Trading Tone and Price Move
ments at Odds at Start
Of Business.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-There was
a distinct division in market tone
and price movements in the New
York curb market with the begin
ming of business today. A number
of issues that had been active and
strong were in supply and sold off
sharply and others held strong with
several making substantial ad-
vances. Southern Petroleum and
Refining was one of the strong
features, that stock being traded in
at 81 and SIS. offerings being
scant on this advance while the de-
mand was far larger than the ac-
tual business indicated. Other oil
stocks were in moderate supply, I'm
perial Oil selling at 8 and Interna-
tional Petroleum selling at 10. Pro-
ducers and Refiners sold at as,
some disappointment being shown
over the delay in beginning trad
ing in that stock on the New York
stock exchange. Simms Petroleum
was also In supply selling at eA
and 6h. Elk Basin showed steady
tone with sales at 51:.
Amalgamated Leather was one of
the weakest features, the common
SelllnB at q n ana rs, ana tne pre-
ferred at 80. both making new low
records. Candy stocks were quiet.
Sweets Company selling at 2k and
United Retail Candy at 6Is Nc
Andrews and Forbes held firm with
sales at 104 to 1o3k. Philip Nor
ris, which was ex-dividend of 20
cents. was traded in at 6A to 81.
Farrell Coal also showed strength
with trading at 1914 to 1874, and
Glen Alden Coal ranged from 3sH
to 3sss. Denver common was trad
ed in at 30 cents and the preferred
at rs cents a share.
Boston and Montana was the
strongest feature in the mining
group, making a sharp advance in
heavy trading. Florence Goldfield
was firm on dispatches, announcing
that a six inch streak OF high grade
ore had been opened near the Little
Florence workings. Assays on this
ore are expected in a few DAYS.
Texas Gulf sulphur was traded I'm
on Saturday for the time at 23H
Today is ranged from 25k to 2sss,

an exceptional increase In payroll
compared TO men employed. The
cause OF this is not explained in
the reports. except that increased
production was reported.
A survey OF this data shows that
wages have been reduced most in
those industries employing less
skilled workers such as the iron
and steel industry. The recent de-
cided cut by the Steel Corporation
will undoubtedly show in the re-
ports for the next month. In the
more skilled trades, such as those
invoved in building. there are few
reductions noted and in some cases
higher rates are being demanded.
The conclusion is that the pay
for the day laborer in the indus
tries and the farm hand have been
reduced to a much greater degree
than the more skilled workman.
Wage adjustment for the latter
must logically follow.
