MAIN TREND IN
 STOCK LIST WAS
 MOSTLY UPWARD
By Associated Preee

New York, September 1b.--Pri- vate movements in today's stock market again were irregular and in- fluenced by professional activities but the main trend continued up ward. There was 8 noticeable slack ening of bear pressure and less viz orous speculative buying with the result that changes were largely within narrower limits. The under tone continued strong. Public utili- ties made the most spirited advance. gains of l to points in that group bringing many stocks to new high records for the year. The railroad list was featured by the advance of New York Central to par and new highs for the year by Pennsylvania and New Orleans, Texas and Mexi- co. Delaware and Hudson was pushed up over points but other changes were largely fractional with gains and losses about evenly di- vided. Several new favorites were brought to the front, notably Spicer, Texas Gulf Sulphur, Freeport Texas, and Vivaudou, most of which reg istered moderate gains. Wilson company packing stock advanced of merger rumors. Pool operations
 
 special stocks.
 Steels and equipments were quite active, but with the exception of a decline of 1M in Baldwin, due largely to weekend profit taking, the changes in these groups were only nominal. Merchandising issues were pushed to higher ground There was fair activity also in copper shares, gains of point or more be- ing recorded by Utah and Butte and Superior with fractional gains else- where in the list
 Total sales approximated 1,oo1,ooo shares.
 Foreign exchange rates were again irregular but with a narrower range of variation. There was renewal of offerings of grain and cotton bills.
 Call money held steady at 41s per cent Time money rates continued firm with only a moderate amount of business being transacted but there was a fair market for com mercial paper.

REALIZING FOR
 WEEKEND SENT
 COTTON TO A DIP
By Associated Press

New York, September 14.-An early decline was followed by advances in the cotton markets on reports of a firmer spot basis in the south but after selling up from 21.67c to 21.95o for December or about 19 points net higher, prices eased off under real izing for over the week end, which seemed to be promoted by reports of unsettled political conditions in the near east. December sold down to 21.60o or 16 points net lower and closed at that level. with the general market closing barely steady Il to IT points net lower.
 The market opened steady to g points lower and immediately showed net losses of to 10 points under overnight selling orders. which in- cluded southern hedge selling as well as scattered realizing or liQui- dation. These early offerings ap- peared to be quite readily absorbed and the market was firm during the middle of the day on reports of con tinued activity in the domestic goods market and more bu1lish advices from tho southern spot markets. Oo- tober sold up to 21-s7o and January 2I.79c. making net advances of about IA to 20 points on the active po- sitions.
 Trading became very quiet on this advance, however, and the market turned easier during the afternoon under renewed hedge selling and realizing for over the weekend. Ner- yousness over European or near eastern affairs probably increased the disposition to close out long con tracts. while there was bearish com ment on the weekend figures which showed some increase in spinners takings as compared with last week, but contrasted rather bearishly with last years figures. Liverpool cables reported a fair demand from Lanca- shire. but only a light demand from tbe continent. Exports today were 1o.426 bales, making 314.sSs bales so far this season. Port receipts sl.- ss2. United States port stccks 4SS,47o.

 in Wool Trading

Boston, September 15.-The Com- mercial Bulletin tomorrow will say.
 The market Is brisker and pr.ces are firmer in the wool market, man. ufactures showing a marked inter- est in wool as compared with pre- vious weeks. The settlement of the strikes throughout the country and the imminence of the passage of the tariff bill with the wool tariff, prac tically discounted. have stabilized sentiment in the market to a very noticeable extent. Higher prices on goods In the near future In view of the condition of the raw materials market, seem inevitable"

HUBBARD,s LETTER

New York, September 15.-(Speciai. )- It is very noticeable that the trade has rather large orders in the ring to buy under the market. The market showed every indication of advancing this morning on the covering of some short interests and buying from the south through commis- sion houses. However, during the early afternoon NNw Orleans weakened and local longs sold cotton more or less freely. We feel that the selling is entirely the liquidation of weak long accounts The undertone remains steady and on these de clines the market shows considerable re- sistance. The market closed steady around the low of the day.--Hubbard Bros.

he boarded the Aquitania to inter.

twenty minutes before sailing time
and Mr.. Hearst had not arrived.
Wade had lost his carfare to William

bodily back TO the business Of the

And Mr.. Hearst appeared and was
duly interviewed by a very dlgnifled,
