OECIDED TURN IN STOCKS INDICATED BY PRICE RANGES
Expected Business Slump Has Failed To Arrive And
 Securities Strengthen
ny WALTER II. DROWN Editor New York Commercial. Leased Wire to The AEe-Herald)


 NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Although yet, there Is abundant indication that the turn In the stock market has ctme, A few weeks ago the tendency of prices was to sag unless buoyed up by some special technical conditions but now the tendency Is to advance If left to themselves, The manner in which the market has re- sisted depressing influences reveals 8 buoyancy that promises well for the future Undoubtedly the change in sentiment Is due to the realization that the business slump failed to ma terialize to the extent expected 1T It. Since early sumner there has been talk of a business depression ana wall street has been schooling itself for the blow. When the seasonal dullness came 1t was hailed as the expected slump.
 Yet what has the slump really amounted to? It has been most no- ticeable in the steel industry, pc cause that industry had been work ing under high pressure for months, and its condition ef activity was ab- normal. Hence, merely dropping back to something approaching nor nal, would create the impression or a slump, although 1t has merely been that new bookings have been held in abeyance so that the thrilled tonnage account has been reduced. At the same time supplies in cCn- eumers' hands have been reduced and the potential demand, thereby in7 creased In fact, throughout all in dustry, the slump, wherever It has been noticeable has been in the na- turG of a reduction in forward book ines. and does not signify that the demand no longer exists.
 Hnnd- Mouth Buying.
 The condition has been brought about by the fear of forcing prices upward and of encouraging labor to exact greater demands. There has developed, therefore, what is com monly called, hand-to- mouth buying. which is merely keeping abreast of requirements instead of anticipating them.
 It is curious accompaniment of a business slump that freight car load ings should break all records. The week of August 25 revealed a total freight or 2S.SS8 cars more than the previous high record made in July. Incidentally this was the tenth week this year with loadings exceeding d million cars, and six of these weeks were above the corresponding weeks in 1920. Of course. the movement of the. crops is responsible for this large total, but 1t Is significant that load ings of general merchandise also showed heavy increases. Another significant point is that the railroads are moving this record breaking traf- fic and are meeting crop-moving re- Quirements without the complaint this year of car shortage. In other words, the railroads have come back, and 1t may be put down to the credit of American genius that this is 80.

'FURTHERADVANCE' IN COTTON PRICE
 IN LATE TRADING

NEW YORK, Sept, 7.-There was a further advance in the cotton market which carFled the price of october contracts up te 2e.75 early this aft ernoen, or 05 points above gester- days closing quotations and 366 points above the price ruling just be- fore the publication of the govern ments crop report late last week, The rapidity of the upward meve
 ment to create more reactioEary sem tlment above the 2G1ae level, how ever, and there were reactions later in the day under rather heavy real izing, October closed at 26.54e, with the general market closing steady at net advances of 15 to A points,
 The market opened steady at an advance of to { points on Decem- Der and later deliveries but points lower on October, and solf off q few
 points right after the call under realizing and southern hedging. These early offerings were very well absorbed by fresh buying believed to be for both trade and speculative account and the market soon turned upward. The frmer ruling of the later cables from Liverpool encour- aged the demand while the wet weather reported in eastern belt sec tions Increased the fear of a further reduction in crop estimates. Aside from that the buying was stimulated by numerous reports that the spot basis was advancing in the south and the readiness with which early offerings had been absorbed, natur- ally added to the confidence of buy CTS, December sold up to 2S-6Oc and January to 26.32c with active months generally showing net advances of 47 to 60 points during the early aft ernoon. The buying movement then slackened and there were reactions of about 30 points which were check ed by the execution of scale down buying orders in the late trading. Late cable advices from Liverpool said that Lancashire spinners. were short and were finding it difficult to get their stocks; also that there was a better export trade. Port re- ceipts today, 18,395. United States port stocks, 241,320. Exports, l,56S. making S45,0S5 so far this season.

MATERIAL GAIN MI
 WHEAT SCORED ON
 LOWER ESTIMATES

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Wheat scored a material advance in price today, largely as a result of lower esti- mates of the 1923 Canadian yield. Closing quotations were unsettled 7s @1%c net higher, September S1,03 and December S1.O6% c 1.O6&. Corn finished ss @&c up; oats 1l E @ 1& c gain and provisions showing raise varying from to zoe.
 With the president of the Canadian Pacific railroad reported as saying 350,000, ,000 bushels was his estimate of this seasons wheat crop in Can ada whereas other authorities had yesterday put the total at 400. 900, 900 bushels, the wheat market here dis played from the outset a decided upward tendency Buying was also stint lated by the fact that the Win nipeg market showed stronger tone. Inasmuch as the chief bear in- spiration of late has been coming from that point. the change of front was quickly noted here. Besides the crop movement in all sections was lighter than last year. especially in the northwest.
 Considerable attention was given to reports indicating doubt as to any heavy movement of domestic spring wheat, as small yields in many in stances had apparently led to de- cided disposition to hold wheat back in various sections. Under such cir cumstances, declines from the days top figures were only moderate and shippers appeared less anxious to press wheat for sale. It was said exporters who bid for wheat on the same basis as a few days ago Tailed to obtain offers
 Cool weather delaying the matur- ity of the corn crop had bulltsh effect on corn and oats. May deliv- cry of corn reached the highest price yet this season.
 Better export business helped to lift the provision market.

Cotton Turns Upward When Buying Renewed

NEW YORK, Sept, 7-The first shock of the Japanese disaster was reflected by the liquidation of scat tering long accounts and decline of about F cent in prices in the cotton market mmediately following the Labor Day adjournment. The bullish impulses derived from the govern ment's crop report of the preceding Friday asserted themselves as soon as this selling had been absorbed, however, and the market then turned upward on renewal of the. buying movement based on the bullish view of the supply situation. Reports that Japanese interests were among the buyers both around the ring here and in the southern spot markets encour- aged an impression that the destruc- tion of both raw cotton and good stocks in Japan might stimulate the demand from that quarter. This prob- ably contributed to the advance which carried the price of October contracts up to 26.75c during today's trading compared with 24.6Sc, the low point touched on the reaction of Tuesday and 24.12c, the price ruling shortly before the publication of the end Au- gust crop figures. A decided broaden Ing or LTdue was during the progress of the advance, supposed to be partly for the pur, pose of fixing prices on all cotton purchased during the spring and sum- mer..
 Aside from this there was every evidence of an increase commission house interest, which was evidentiy effected by reports of continued crop deteriorations of crop in esatern sec tions of the belt and more favorable trade advices from Manchester. Stocks of American cotton in Liver pool and in all foreign markets are very small and it was felt that an im- provement of consequences in the Lancashire goods trade would brina spinners into the raw material mar kets. Reports from the domestic markets for cotton goods were also considered encouraging as they indi- cated a continued good demand at advancing prices, and buying of fu- lures here was accompanied by re- ports of an advancing spot basis in the south. Realizing became more active above the 261a cent level during the days trading, but there was good deal of scale down buy ing on the reactions and the appre- hension of weakness as result of increasing new crop receipts ap- peared to have been modified, if not entirely overshadowed by the recent reduction in estimates of the total yield.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS Sept. Tt was an other session of advancing prices in the cotton market today. and all months went to new high levels for the upward move ment which set in sometime ago, October reaching up to 26 02c pound at its best At this level the trading months were 51 to 5S points over the close of yesterday. In the late trading hedge selling and real izing sales from the long side caused re- actions from the highest and the close points, the range on October being 25.S7c to 25 .S9c.
 In the early trading the buying be- came general shorts covered in a large way. mills were credited with being in the market and spot houses were named as large purchasers of contracts. Some little hedge selling appeared, but it was readily absorbed, and market comment was that more price fixing was being done than was the case when the market was several cents a pound cheaper. Back of the buy ing was further small crop talk, reports of damage by excessive rains, both in Texas and in the central belt, claims of more business in the cloth market and re- ports of a fairly large business being done in Manchester.
 Sales were increased fin the late session by predictions that the first ginning re- port of the season, due tomorrow from che census bureau, would be heavy, and particularly from Texas, some telegramH claiming record breaking output for that state up to September l.
