NEW YOR-.. Sept. 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance
Of 20 to 81 points in response to rela-
lively firm Liverpool cables, cover
ing by recent sellers, for reaction,
and a renewal of commission house
buying. October sold up to 27.S3,
and January to 27.10 during the
early trading. or about 81 to 80
points net higher, but business was
very active and orders appeared to
be pretty we'll divided at the advance.
Private cables from Liverpool re-
ported a good spot demand, but said
that scarcity of cotton was keeping
sales down and that. all cotton afloat
for Liverpool had already been sold.
Another private crop report was pub
Iished making the condition 59.2,
compared with $751; toward the end
Of last month, but appeared to be
without effect on the immediate mar
ket.
The census report showing do
nestle consumption of 491 ,604 bales
for the month of August was not
considered an important factor.
Trading continued active, but after
adNancing to 27.97 for October and
q 20 for January, fluctuations were
irregular The bulges appeared to
meet increased offerings, but they
were absorbed on reactions of eight
Or ten points, and prizes at midday
were about So to SO points net high

Liverpool decreased 1900 bales TOR
the week now amounting to only
5000. which is considered less than
weeks consumption at the pre-
war rate.
The market was easier during the
early afternoon under renewed real

ed by another private crop report
making the condition "a and the in
dicated yield 11,3O0,O00 bales. Octo-

Various Memorials Proposed.
There leginnaires throughout
the state, il was learned. who favor
building a memorial library; others
think state highway would be more
appropriate, while others suggest a
memorial arch. 1t is taken for grant
ed. 1t was said, that Richmond natu-
rally would expect either a library or
an arch to be erected there, as that
city is the state capital.
Opposition TO Richmond laying
claim to either the library or arch is
Likely TO develop. but some site Will
have to be selected in case a library
or arch is decided upon, and those
with an open mind were understood
to be willing TO frankly admit that
the state capital would be the logical
place. Should a road be favored. it
is likely most of the 100 counties OF
the state will ask for part OF it. So.
after all. the general committee will
have many differences to harmonic,
either before or during the state con-
vention.
