CORN SCORES NEW TOP PRICE RECORD FOR THE SEASON

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Corn today scored new high price records for the season, and brought about fresh upturns in the value of wheat. As- sertions that the stock of old corn is the smallest ever known and that the movement of the corn will be extremely small for sometime had a decided bullish effect. Wheat closed strong, % to 1 s4c net higher, with December S1.043s 0$1.041a and May s1.09a4 $109% Corn finished F to 1%c up, oats at 9s to ac advance and provisions unchanged to 1c down.
 Almost as soon as the market was open, September delivery of corn jumped above ST cents, for the first time this season, and before the day was ended, May delivery had also at tained a new top figure. Scarcity of immediate supplies of corn continued to be acute and this circumstance was emphasized by further reports or frosts damage done to the new corn crop. Under such circumstances, of- ferings of wheat were light and the wheat market reflected the upward swing of corn values. The fact that hedging sales of wheat at Winnipeg were small in preparation to the small receipts there, was also a bull fish influence and so, too, was gos- sip about Likelihood or an increaseo tariff on wheat imported into the United States.
 Highest prices of the day were cur rent both for wheat and corn in the final trading. Previous sellers Of corn found themselves in pinch and made haste to extricate themselves, but in doing so were forced to bid prices up. At the finish. No. yellow corn available for immediate delivery commanded soc a bushel, 1sc over September. Dealings in corn showed more volume than has been the rule of late, and oats too. displayed more activity.
 Lower quotations on hogs eaoed the provision market.

COTTON MARKET IS LOWER, DUE TO SOME LIQUIDATION

NEW YORK, Sept 24.-The cotton market was lower today under scat tering liquidation for over the ap preaching government crop report and reports of increased hedging. December contracts sold up to 2S.s7c early but broke to 2S.44c in the late trading and closed at 2S.4Sc with the general market closing steady at net declines of 35 to 3S points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of z points to a decline of 13 points with active months show ing net advances Of about Il to IT points, shortly after the call on steady late cables from Liverpool and pros poets for a renewal of unsettled weather in the southwest. A private report placing the condition of the crop at 50.6 and the indicated yield at 10, 0,600,000 on private acreage fig ures or 11,200,00 on the governments estimate of the area, was without any apparent effect on sentiment. If any thing, however, the figures prompted a disposition to even up accounts in advance of the governments crop report which is scheduled for publica- tion on Tuesday of next week and the market soon turned easier under scat tering liquidation. There was also con- siderable southern selling here which was supposed to represent hedging and for q time the market seemed to be unsettled by rumors of probable shipments here from south for de- livery next month. The October pre- mium narrowed as a result of these rumors and the general list sold off to net loss of 96 to fl points dur ing the afternoon with October de- clining to 2SS5c and January to 2S.00c or 110 or 145 points below the high records of last week. The bulk of shipments here lacked any definite confirmation and the October pre- mium widened out to Saturdays clos ing difference in the late trading. but last prices were at about the lowest on January and later months. The of ficial forecast for unsettled and showery weather in the southwest had very little effect on the market which seemed to be chiefly influenced by the disposition to close out com mittments pending the crop figures expected early next week. Port re- ceipts 3S,900. United States port stocks 413,610. Exports 23,463, making 622,759 so far this season

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANs CoTTON

NEW ORLEANS. Sept 24.-After slight advances around the opening today the cotton market commenced to slide otf under a selling movement that finally be- came general and which in the late trad ing had prices 39 to 50 points under the level of last weeks close, October trading as low as 27.9Sc pound. Liquidation of the long interest. hedge selling and new selling from interests who were looking for a downward reaction prior to bureau day supplied the offerings The close was s6 to 4s points net lower on the day. with October closing sales ranging from 28c to 2S.02c. Advances of to 14 points carry ing October to 2S.44c in the early trading appeared to be based on hopeful view of tho European political outlook. but no great number of buying orders were in the, market and the demand was filled rather quickly. private crop report of bo.6 for condition, indicating a. yield of 1o,eoo,ooo bales, at first attracted no great amount of attention. but finally increased was circulated which estimated the total yield at 11,314.000 bales, and the Texas yield at 4,4S4, 900 bales
 Lowest prices of the day were reached following telegrams from Waco, talking of crop improvement and higher esti- mates of the yield. The market was steadied at the decline by the foreign exports out of New York of 1s,271 bales, reducing the total stock there to only s791 bales. In addition to the exports there were 1,749 bales cleared coastwise, making total shipments out of that port of 20,966 bales

HUBBARD BROS. LETTER

NEW YORK. Sept. 24-LiverpooI was again better than due this morning from the results of lack of offerings from America and continued fair demand for spot cotton. Heavy overnight realization made it's appearance on the opening this morning so that our market did not meet the improvement abroad. After recovering to around the 29-cent level for Decembe the market again sold off on reports of q weaker basis in Texas and hope that the weather would improve during the next week which would tend to increase the movement in the western belt. However, many who have been accurate on their weather forecasts feel that there is much danger of another wet spell in the western belt in the not distant future. Securities were also easier, so that the general feel ing was of decidedly reactionary ten dency. A private crop reports of 10,500,- 900 bales, indicating a government esti- mate of 11,200,000 had little effect on the market, even though of a bullish character This was also the case of the statement by the German chancellor that Germany would have to give In on the Ruhr question naturally as our market did not respond to these rather builsh statements, the reactlonary feeling has in- creased. We see, however, no change in the ultimate situation we are still faced with the question of inadequate sup ply for present indicated consumption Under such circumstances cannot have any permanently lower prices.-Hub

AFTERNOON SEES. UPWARD TREND IN
 MOST OF ISSUES.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24-IrreEular price movements in tOday's stock market continued to reflect the play of opposing speculative forces. The opening was strong in response to cable reports, forecasting Germanys decision to capitulate 10 France in the matter of reparations. Consider able short covering took place in the initial dealings but when the bears discovered that there was little dis position on the part of operators on the long side of the market to press their advantage, they began To offer the speculative leaders freely and the whole list sagged again.
 The market turned upward in the afternoon with good buying noted in the low priced oils, and a resumption of bullish operatives in stocks in which favorable dividends develop ments are reported to be pending. Net gains largely exceeded net losses at the close.
 The continental allied exchanges made the quickest and strongest re- sponse to the better tone of the for eisn news. Belgian francs jumped more than 80 points to 5.45c, French francs advanced 155s points to 6.17c and Italian lire jumped 10 points to 461c but all these quotations were shaded somewhat later. Demand sterling advanced half a cent to s4.555s
 The failure of sharper rally in stock prices on foreign developments was attributed in many quarters to the general uncertainty concerning the future of domestic business. Commission houses generally had ad- vised against the indiscriminate purchase of stocks while several have cautioned their customers to stand out of the market pending more definite developments of the ulti- mate trend, which probably explains the apparent lack of public interest.
 Studebaker was the target of bear pressure, being forced down to 9SB but snapping back later to 1908 off s''s U. $. Steel common ranged be- tween S69s and SS1s, closing un- changed at STA.
 Some of the outstanding strong spots were Dupont. Continental Can, Corn Products, U. $. Industrial Alco- hol, General Motors per cent deben- lures and Phillips petroleum up ? te SA points, and Houston Oil up 4 5s.
 Rails showed few important changes scn the day. Baltimore and Ohio was again active on speculative expecta- ion that the common dividend will be resumed before the end of the Near the stock closing at 52 for a net gain of hale on the day.
 Call money opened at 41a per cent but advanced to 5l3 before the close. The time money market was quiet with brokers bidding 14 for all dates and bankers asking 51a.

Pensioners Of King George
Widows Are Guests Of The Crown At
 Romantic Hampton Court

At least one Sunday year I like to spend among the romantic surround ings of Hampton court, built by the great Cardinal Wolsey but taken from him by Henry VIII I have often wondered why this dignified palace is not used as background by some enterprising movie" producer
 It is delight to saunter through the banqueting hall and the audience chamber and the kings bedroom and the queens antechamber and look at the paintings by Peter Lely and God frey Kneller of the ladies who were court favorites in the roystering days of the restoration after Charles II came back to the throne.
 I generally go down to Hampton court to visit a dear old lady. for though the palace belongs to the king, he makes no use of 1t except that he gives suites of apartments to tho not very-well-to-do widows of men who have served the state In some distinguished capacity. Can you imagine more charming gift than suite of apartments in R place like Hampton court, with it's peace and unrivaled old world gardens?-Sir John Foster Fraser In Arts and Deco ratinn,
