COTTON UP S. PER
BALE AGAIN TODAY
Further Sensational Rise Due
to Lower Private Esti-
mates on Yield.

By the Associated Press. ~
|. NEW YORK, September 10.--Within
the first half hour of trading today
October cotton advanced 80 points to
$3.50, or S5sa bale above Saturdays
closing quotation.
The jump was attributed to further
reduction in the crop estimate con-
tained in a report published by a
Memphis authority. The crop condi,
tion as of September was placed
at 49.7 in this report and the. yield
was estimated at 10.240,000 bales or
more than half q million bales less
than the government indication OF
August rs.
First prices were lower under
heavy realizing and southern selling;
but offerings were quickly ABSORBED
by an excited demand for both trade
and speculative account, which was
shortage in supplies would be even
more serious than previously esti-
mated.

the early low, first trading OH to 26.eU
cents a pound and then advancing TO
277S. A private crop estimate OF
only 10,250,000 bales, including lin
terc, was responsible for much OF the
buying.

FAILURE SEEN FOR PLAN
TO FORCE DIVIDENDS

NEW YORK. September 1O.-The
reported efforts of an insurgent COM
mittee of Southern railway common
stockholders to secure proxies rep
resenting q majority of the stock
with a view to forcing dividend action
upon the management at the annual
meeting at Richmond, october 8. have
not come to the attention of the local
Office of the company.
In any case 1t Is clear that the
chances of such a movement attain
ing sufficient proportions to force the
hand of the management are remote.
There are 100000 shares of common
stock and 100000 shares of non-com-
ulative per cent preferred. The pre-
ferred has equal voting rights with
the common, and a proxy committee
would have to procure 81 per cent of
the total stock outstanding, or over
100000 shares, in order to secure a
majority.
