Altho rockingham denied that
there was anything OF an official

more or less significant because Of
his known attitude IA big army

ments.
''The army today y ridlculously

have an authorized strength OF u.s..
900. beileve-nnd an actual strength
considerably smaller. II seems 10 mo
that we ought TO have at least 2O9,.

He declined TO link this statement
with the Japanese situation. however.
The Japanese question:" he re.
peated the query. NO. don't know
anything about it."
rockingham was n member OF tho
house military affairs committee in
the 9th congress and was one OF tho
few men in the capitol who saw &C
tive service In the world war. Hs
has a long military record, having
been a lieutenant OF marines In tho

in the regular army in 1918. He Is
an officer In the Massachusetts de-

Wheat Average Higher
 Despite Profit Taking

CHICAGO. Oct. 6.-Despite heavy profit taking sales, the wheat market has averaged higher in price this week, aided by eXpeetance of gov ernment measures for farm relief and by unusual strength of corn. Com pared with a week ago, wheat thls morning ranged from h c decline to 1 14 c advance, with corn at IS to ' 9sc rise; oats Is to & up and provisions unchanged at 27c higher.
 Reports that frost in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa had done corn dam age equal to 70,000,00O, exclusive o1 reduction in quality, was the chief bullish influence affecting all grain during the first part of the week. The top prices of the week were attained the day on which 1t was announced that the President had sent officials from Washington to discuss with the wheat growers of the central north west more extensive use of govern ment funds under the credit act
 Apparent absence of any definite moves toward an increase of the reduction of freight rates on wheat appeared to have subsequent bear ish effect on the wheat market.
 All deliveries of corn and oats touched new high price record for the season. Number yellow corn went well above $1, the first time since 1920.
 Provisions were hrmer with grain and because of a big decrease shown in the stock of lard here.

Cotton Goods Are Only " q derately Actiue

NEW YORK. Oct. G-Primary cot ton goods are only moderately &C., tive. In some divisions they are quiet. News of the closing of the largest gingham mills indefinitely shows the slow demand for the lines opened for spring a short time ago. Percales are selling slowly but are being delivered steadily on past orders Brown goods are slightly easier Tn the sheeting division. Print cloths sold at concessions from the top but the demand is not broad. Bleached goods are moving moderate ly. Wash fabrics are being bought in some places and not in others, for spring delivery, the crepes, printed voiles and satines being the best sell CTS. The lower end of the gingham business is fair, some mills that made exceptionally low prices securing business, and others being forced to wait. Converters report trade slow in staples but fair on some of their specialties Cotton duck is quiet but steady Tire fabrics are inactive. SILK and cottons are barely steady. Yarns are being bought moderately. Knit goods are quiet so far as new pusl- ness goes, but orders in hand are sufficient to keep mills employed for some time. Production is below nor nal in some of the largest eastern manufacturing centers, while most of the southern mills are running in full and some cases resrmlng overtime operations.

Leading Curb Issues Register Good Gains

NEW YORK, Oct. G-Nearly all the leading curb issues made sub stantial gains during the week. Some issues advanced from to more than 10 points. Reactions in the last few days materially reduced some of these gains. A changed position in the markets for Standard Oil securi- ties was created by steady action.
 Crude oil and petroleum products remained at the low levels estab- lished by the previous reductions which were inaugurated in April. The greatest gain in this group was in Prairie oil and Gas which moved up 15 points to 174. Indiana rose more than points and a gain of points was made in Standard Oil of New York which crossed 45 followed by a reaction of below 43. There was also pronounced strength in the first half Of the week in number of the in dependent issues. including Salt Creek and Mountain producers. Trad ing at times, especially in the Stand ard Oil issues, was in large volume and could only be exchanged by sources affiliated with control.
 Some industTials showed strength, Gtllett Safety Razor advanced to 26S. Reading tights came into prominence for a time, advanced about 3 points to 22%, but also reacted in the later trading. A gain of over Il points was made In Yellow Taxicab and Ford Motor of Canada advanced 12 points.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, oct. 6,-Rather pro- nounced easiness, was shown by the cot ton market in, the early trading today but after declines of 34 to 20 points which carried December off to 26.90c a pound. now buying came in and much realizing was done by shorts with the result that prices came back to levels 6 points higher to 5 points lower than the close of yesterday. December reacting to 27.35c. Tho close at net declines on the day of 5 to IA points, with final sales of the December position ranging from 27.27c to 27.2Sc. For the early weakness further accounts of poor trade and of probable curtailment of production from New England mill centers. an unfavorable opinion of weekend reviews of trade in general tho poor showing of Liverpool and the dry weather over the greater part of the belt were responsible. Lowest l3v- els were reported following claims In pri- vats messages that many mills in New England were carrying large stocks of manufactured goods.
 A new demand was created in the in terior by extensively circulated reports that some of the mills which have been talking loudest of curtailment of produc- ton were busy buying cotton in the west ern belt. Tho forecast of wet weAtNer over Texas and Oklahoma and some other areas to the eastward increased the un- easness over the matter of the grade of the crop and resulted in fairly heavy buy ing for while in tho late session.

INTEREST CENTERS IN RAILS IN DAYS
 TRADING IN BONDS

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Today's bond market was pretty much a continual tion of yesterdays session with chief interest centered again in the rail- road group. While the bulk of the buying was in the so-called specula- tive issues, there was moderate de- mand also for the investment mortgages Seaboard Air Line adjust ment 5s moved up 2 points, but gen. erally the gains were fractional
 Active United States government bonds settled down to Q steady tone. with several issues unchanged from yesterdays final figures. An in crease in the demand for foreign bonds resulted in moderate advances in that division, the advance includ- ing not only French issues. but some of the South American bonds.
 Industrial lines were extremely dull with the trend slightly down. ward. Some of the steel company liens pointed upward, but net change were small. Bankers reported a sharp decline in borrowing on the part of states, counties and cities. The slump, 1t was said, is partly sea sonal, but more particularly due to the inability of many municipalities to sell bonds at the local minimum price just now. It was pointed out also that no less than 5000, 900 municipal bonds were sold during the first kill of the year and it has taken time to distribute them among investors
