HrnnARn EROS. < CO.'S LETTER

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-once again the Liverpool market showed signs of strength this morning which was reflected on our opening. The same price fixing which was attributed to foreign buyers was again evident this morning. but there was less pressure than has been apparent for the last few days in spite of the fact that the gulf storm has passed out to sea without entering the belt. Slightly better weather brought Hesitation after the opening. The market has gradually improved, turning strong in the afternoon under fear of & possible strike of steve dores in all the gulf ports which naturally would seriously interfere with the for ward movement of cotton. but eased later in the afternoon when 1t was reported that the steamship lines in New York had reached a settlement which would proba- bly, be accepted in the gulf. From the broader point of view. the market has about discounted the early movement and the contracts which have been sold re- gently have passed into the hands of the spinners. who fixed a small portion of their commitments on the decline. As a consequence there is scarcity of con tracts in the market. With the govern ment report coming next Tuesday, we probably will not have any very great change in prices except possibly a little more advance the tendency will be to draw until this report is out of the way.- way.-Hubbard Bros, & Co.

Cotton Market Is
 Nervous During Week

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-The cotton mar ket has been nervous and irregular during the past week, owing partly, no doubt. to evening up of accounts in preparation for the governments crop report which is expected next Tuesday The realizing movement which followed the advance to the 90 cent level during the previous week was chcked after a decline of about Pc per pound from the recent high records. Rallies followed on the development of the first tropical storm threat of the sea- son, and whilue this seemed to be passing over without any actual damage to crop prospects, prices worked higher today on covering and a scattering trade demand. An outlook for unsettled weather with showers and lower temperatures in the southwest seemed one of the factors on to- days upturn, which carried prices back to about the 29-cent mark, or fully a cent above the low levels of last Tuesday.
 During the earlier part of the week there appeared 10 be a feeling here that the approaching government report was more likely to show a slight increase than any compared with the taihmtairftaiaahana The condition figures published by trade 52.3c, and the yield figures from 9,755 900 up to 11,467000 bales. On the average they have pointed to falling off of about 6.5 points in the condition for the month, which would mean government report of around 47.6 next Tuesday. Less has been heard of the covering of spot shorts in the southwest suggest that end Sc eptem- ber commitments had been pretty well pro vided for and private adViees reaching here today foreshaadowed clearanees Q: over 100. 900 bales from Galveston over the week end. The stock of American cotton in Liverpool showed slight increase this week for the first time in months but stocks of certificated cotton in the New York warehouses have been drawn down week were estimaited at about lOoooo pces.

STOCK PRICES ON CURB MART SHOW PRIMER TENDENCY

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-Stock prices displayed a slightly better tone, for the most part in today's transactions on the curb There was some un- settlement in few stocks over ths failure of stock exchange house but the announcement had no un- toward influence on the general list.
 Industrals were bought more free- ly but most movements were de- pendent on individual speculative opinion of the particular shares in- volved. Durant Motors fell off 1A, while Stutz moved up a point. Gil- lette Safety Razor gained a point and Goodyear Tire and Rubber ad vanced 1s.
 Activity in the oils was quite evi- dent in the late dealings, advances of point or more being recorded by Buckeye Pipe, Gulf Oil of Pennsyl- vania, Imperial of Canada. and Prairie Pipe Eureka Pipe Line was pushed down 6 ponts on reported reduction in the dividend rate.
 Mining shares moved irregularly within a narrow trading area with out definite trend. The volume of trading approXimated that of tho previous day

1 SHORT CANADIAN
 CROP PREDICTION
 SENDS WHEAT UP.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-New Canadian crop estimates 57,OOOOOO bushels smaller than the Canadian govern ment's latest returns had much to do with a decided upturn today in wheat prices here. The market closed firm, 4 to 1%c net higher. December $1.063s to $106$s 6D1.06ia and May S1.105s D1.11. Corn finished Is to l Ac up; oats at 7s to 1a @ 5sc gain and provisions showing to 25c advance.
 With buying on much broader scale than has of late been the rule, wheat ascended readily and profit taking sales led to only transient setbacks. The wide discrepancy be- tween the estimate today from the Northwestern Grain Dealers asso- citation was explained here as due largely to difference in the acreage basis used. According to leading authority in Chicago the Canadian official estimate for 1922 had failed to justify itself and the inference was that the extraordinary recent government estimate of 47O,O00,000 bushels for this year In Canada was also overstated.
 Attention to Washington plans for farm relief measures counted notice- ably ss an dditional bullish factor in the wheat market, and were more or less responsible for lifting values just before the close, which was vir- tually at the topmost level of the day. Strength of corn and oats tend ed also to aid the wheat bulls. On the other hand. messages from the southwest indicated that there would be less reduction of winter wheat planting than had of late been looked for
 High price records for the season were again outdone in the corn mar ket by all months except December. Wet weather acted as a stimulus to buyers, and it was said farm re- serves were the smallest in 20 years, barring one instance. Shorts In oats coverel freely.
 Provisions were flrmer in line with grain and hogs.

S. R. STEWART & CO.'S LETTER

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 28.-Liver- pool quotations came over 14 points bet ter than due. with fairly good sales of 5000 bales, at an advance of Is points in their spot prices. Manchester cables read more favorable and stated trade calling for cotton. Our markets opened 10 to 15 points above Thursdays close and exhib- tied a very good tone throughout the en- tire session. It said that Berlin bought 10000 bales Liverpool also bought and very good buying of the December options by prominent New York export ing house. we'll considerable calling by trade to fix prices very noticeable feature was the big falling off in southern hedge selling, holders probably withdraw ing their offers until after issuance of the government report. Speculation was in very small volume selling was somewh at restricted because of the probability of colder weather in the western belt. Tn finals were about 20 points. or s1 per bale advance for the day. Spots were active and generally followed the advance in fu- lures. Texas points sold 25,000 bales yes terday. There were several private condi- tion reports out today, ranging from 47. to 51.S. and crop estimates from 10000 000 to II 1,O00, 900 bales.

FAILURE OF STOCK EXCHANGE HOUSE AFFECTS MARKET

NEW YORK, Sept 2S.-ldixed price &ovements in today's stock marke t continued to reflect the shifting sem Ament of professional traders.
 Failure of a stock exchange house caused some unsettlemGnt at tho rtart as stocks were sold under the Rule" but except in a few stocks in sFhich the bankrupt firm was heavily Interested, the reactions were rela- tlYely small. Jones Brothers Tea added points to it's DB point drop yesterday, touching new low record for the year at 3215, but it snapped back later to 3S and then eased to 35&, where 1t was up h point on the day.
 American Woolen was subjected to sharp attack in the late afternoon, being driven down 43s points to 731S also a new low record for the year. Weakness Gf this Issue revived ru- mors that the S7 dividend was in danger. although previous reports to this effect were denied by President Wood week ago.

 Strength of the tobacco issues were predicated upon reports of 8 merger of the several companies with which the Whelan interests are Identified. American Tobacco advanced 2ss to 150 and the "B" stock 1Sa and To- bacco Products 11s. There were a few other conspicuous strong spots, notably Cluett Peabody. Inland Steel Foundation company, General Cigar. American Snuff and Tidewater oil, all up 2 to 3 points.
 Copper shares held relatively firm on reports that merger of some of the southwestern companies was again under way. Shipments this month approximated 00,000, 900 pounds or about the same as last month, while stocks of refined on hand are reported to be about 5000, GOO tons below those of month ago
 Baldwin opened more than a point lower at 11S24, rallied to 115% and then eased off to 113R, off 1B on dhe day. United States Steel closed at lower at S6% and American Can was off F..
 receded to and then jumped to 51s, where it closed. The time money was on virtual 5 F per cent basis, with business quiet. Commercial paper was slightly more active with 5 K per cent the ruling rate.

WOOL MARKET

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 2s.--The Commer- cial Bulletin will say tomorrow:
 "The wool market has been well sus- tained during the last week. although the volume of business may have been slightly less thar in the preceding week. few descriptions notably lambs wool, medium to low scoureds and medium to low no!ls, are slightly stronger but gen erally the market Is only steady. The goods market shows little improvement from last week, far as worsteds are concerned. Some additional business in woolens and knit goods is in evidence. A little buying of the new fall clip in Texas is reported at 39@SSc mostly.
 "rhe foreign maorkets strong, Lon don closing little better than recent ad- vices indicated, while the sales in Bris- bane, Australia have been very firm. France has continued to be the big opera a- tor abroad. Advance quotations from south America and south Africa are rels- lively dear.
 "Mohair is still sluggish and without amterial change. Some buying of new fall clip is reported in Texas at 40Q46c."
