all took cotton. Realizing sales and
Southern hedge pressure were well alb
sorbed. Brokers with Liverpool connec-
tions traded on both sides OF the market
There was considerable discussion
with regard to the probable showing OF

that the report will serve as an accurate
index to the ultimate crop outturn. The

ton ginning prior to October II at
$500. 900 bales.
Weekly statistics were ignored. Spin
ners' takings OF American cotton were
more than 100000 bales greater than the
last previous week. The amount of cot
ton brought into sight was oZS,564 Daies,
compared with 4S2.736 bales the last
previous week. Sentiment was affected
by the generally higher securities mar
ket. Liverpool cables were fairly steady.

were estimated at more than 100000

Month Reuieto of business issued by the

says. The review continues:
Here and there an actual shortage OF
labor is noted. Wage advances are be-
sought and obtained more readily as In
dustry gains in momentum. Rising
prices fll manufacturers with buoyant
confidence. and the fact that the new
tariff imposes much higher protection
