NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans. September 1.--wide de. clines followed the issuance of the gov ernments crop condition figures in the cotton market today. While 1t was gener- ally conceded that the condition percent age of 57.O, indicating yield of only 10,5T5,000 bales, actually a bullish argument yet expectations among traders and brokers had fallen to such low fig ures, apparently from .55 to .56, that the report fell flat a bullish influence and was followed by such heavy unloading of long contracts that prices broke to levels about cent a pound down from the high est of the day and remained depressed during the remainder of the session. The market closed at net losses the day Of 48 to 62 points, with October at the lowest price of the day. 21.45c.
 The early trading saw substantial ad- vances amounted to 32 to 37 points and fairs. and messages from Fall River esti- mating sales of print cloths in that mar ket for the week at 300. 900 pieces, the largest sales of the year. When the ad- yancs amounted to 22 to 37 points and October had been carried to 22.40e, there was a pause, and at 10 o'clock, the time of the issuance of the condition report October stood at 22.20c. In 8 few minutes of trading following the report. October fell 75 points to 21.45c. Here the list showed net losses compared with yester- to 102 points down from the highest. For awhile new buying appeared, coming from traders who made much of the fact that the indicated crop of 10,575,000 bales. compared with 11,449,000 a month ago, a loss for the month of STA, 900 bales, but on the close further liquidation made for further easiness.

COTTON BREAKS
 SHARPLY ON THE NEW CROP REPORT
By Assoclateu a.ress

New York. September 1.-After selling up to 23.05c for December contracts today trading In She cot ton market broke sharply after the publication of the government re- port. December sold off to 22c and closed at 22.20c, with the general market closing easy at 37 to 51 points off.
 The early srength was attributed to the firmness in Liverpool, increas- ing activity in domestic goods mar kets, better feeling over European affairs and continued hope of a rapid improvement in domestic labor con- ditions.
 The market opened firm, 23 to 29 points higher, on covering, and d scattered trade or commission house demand. Before the end of the morn- ing active months sold Al to 54 points net higher, with October touching 22.S6c and January 23. This advance carried December back to the high record of July 8, while later deliv cries made new high records for the season. This attracted much scat tered realizing for over the three day adjournment, which eased prices off a few points. As soon as the gov ernment report was out, realizing became heavy and general.
 
 There was trade buying on scale down. but no halt In the decline until October and January both sold at 21 soc, with the general list showing reactions of 59 to 110 points from the highest and a decline of 45 to 62 points from yesterdays closing quo tations. The demand was then a lit- tie more active and there were pret- ty sharp rallies of some 50 to 80 Iat fr0r he httl however, met renewed realizing or liquidation while there also appeared to be more southern hedge selling. and after advancing from 21.90c to 22.55c during the early afternoon. Oc- tober closed at 21.94c. The official condition of 57.0 and indicated crop of 10.575,000 bales was a shade under the average of recent private re- ports, but was evidently no more bullish than generally expected.
 Port receipts today. 17.936, making 213,272 so far this season. Port re- ceipts. 11,587. United States port stocks, 373,870.

HIGHER AVERAGE
 IN GRAIN MARKET
 ON GOOD OUTLOOK

Chicago, September 1.--Grain mar kets averaged higher here today with some change in sentiment due to the better outlook abroad. At the finish wheat advanced $ to l Mc with September s1.0O to s1.O0h and De- cember S1.02 to S1.02h. Corn was up 1s to 1 F. oats showed net gain of % to 1b and provisions were un- changed to + higher.
 Granting of respite to Germany on separations payments by the rep arations commission had strong in fluence over the market causing a change in local sentiment. Shorts were good buyers of wheat early and there was also some buying by com mission houses. Some of the Chicago traders went long on a bulge of near ly two cents for the December de- livery and when they tried to take profits, caused a good reaction.
 Corn showed strong undertone throughout the day. Private reports placed the corn crop around 2,830,000 bushelg. or 187, 900 less than the gov- ernment figures for August. Re- ceipts here were 335 cars and offer ings increased as the result of tho advance.
 Oats were little stronger In sym pathy with other grains. Private reports showed a crop of 1,245, ,000, 900 to 1,273.0o0,000 bushels compared with 1,231. O00,O00 forecast by the gov- ernment in August

Cotton Outlook Has Been Strong
 Most of Past Week
By Associated Press

New York, September 1.-Interest ] in the cotton market here was cen- tered on the end-August crop reports during the past week. The reactionl which carried the price of December contracts off to 21.soc toward the close of the previous week were fol- lowed by rallies on bullish private crop reports and claims of deteriora tion in the southwestern crop pros Lects. Rather more optimistic view of general trade conditions was also developed by reports of an increas l Ing demand for cotton goods, better prospects for an early settlement of the hard coal strike, and later by talk of improving European condi- tions. As result of these com bined influences, the market showed considerable strength and just before the official crop figures were issued today, December contracts sold at 23.05c or 125 points above the recent low level and back to the high re- cord touched July 3. Later deliveries made new high records for the sea- son on this advance, but the publica-. I tion of the bureau proved the signal
 for heavy. general realizing which
 caused a break of about a cent a pound early this afternoon. Local brokers reported an increasing trade
 demand as prices worked back to about the 22-cent level for December, however, and this had a steadying influence on the latter market. The governments condition of 67 and crop indications of 10,576,o00 bales was slightly below the average of the private reports recently issued. but, for the moment, at least, ap- pcared to have been discounted by recent buyers. After the first rush to sell had subsided, the volume of i business tapered off materially and
 traders were said to be waiting for some indication as to the effect of
 the crop figures on the trade at home and abroad.
 The increased activity of the do-
 nestle goods market was reflected
 by the larger business reported in
 Fall River for the week where sales
 for the period were estimated at
 300,o00 pieces, and a big business was also said to have been done.sin
 the local market t, I Possibly the disposition to sell out long contracts after the bureau was promoted by recent reports that new Ecrop cotton is being offered freely in the southwest and a belief that 1t

SHORTS COVERING IN STOCK MARKET DURING SESSION
nx Assnnintsd Prpna


 New York. September Lowering of short contracts furnished impetus to the upward trend of prices in today's stock market. Total sales, which reached 1,046,7o0 shares, indi- cated investment buying by traders who expect a continuation of the bull movement next week in anticipation of better business conditions. Gains of 1 to 3 points were numerous in both the railroad and indurtrial lists.
 Oil shares were in good demand. presumably in response to reports Of increased consumption. due In part to the adoption of oil burning de- vices by several large corporations because of the coal strike. Standard oil of New Jersey rose two and a half points Mexican Petroleum re- acted sharply after an early show or strength and the pan American Issues reeeded in sympathy.
 Sugar shares mounted to new high levels on increased prices of the raw Cuban product and better trade con ditions which were reflected in the Cuba Cane company's announcement that 1t had paid Its remaining $S.- 000, 900 acceptances.
 Motor shares reSponaeu Wei Aoi the report of the National Automo- bile Chamber of Commerce that Au- gust production would exceed that of July by 20,0o0 cars.
 Call money opened at 1 h and then rose to five per cent but dropped back to 4k just before the close. Time money was firmer due 70 first of the month requirements. Out-of-town banks were the principal takers or commercial paper, the rate for which also was firmer in tone.
 firm tone prevailed in foreign exchange, probably as the result of French acceptance of the Belgian compromise plan on German repara- ians
