COTTON CLOSE ISl STOCKS RALLY M SLIGHTLY LOWER TRADING ON CURE

NEW YORK, Oct. S1.-scattered realizing was readily enough ab- sorbed to give the cotton market steady undertone during today's early trading, but offerings in creased during the afternoon with January contracts selling off to 29.95 or 36 points net lower. They closed at 30.05 with the general market closing nearly steady at net decline of 10 to S7 points.
 The opening was barely steady at a decline of to 17 points with De- cember selling off to 3060 and March to 30.23 owing to relatively easy Liv- erpool cables and rather a less bull ish weather map than expected. Trade interests were good buyers on the opening with good deal Of business in December and March and prices worked back to about yester
 days closing figures. Otherwise there did not appear to be much support. While there was good deal of reactionary sentiment around the ring and the market eased off again during the afternoon on re- ports that stocks were accommodating in the smaller interior towns of the eastern belt and that spot cotton was being offered freely at the 50 cent level in the south. Realizing for over the approaching govern ment report became more active as prices eased off and local selling in expectation of still further reactions before the official crop figures were issued on Friday no doubt contribut- ed to the late decline. December sold off to 30.50 and March to 30.02 and last prices were within a few points of the lowest. Private cables reported quiet market in Liv- erpool with traders waiting fer the bureau and Liverpool seemed to have comparatively few or- ders around the local ring. New Orleans market will be closed tomorrow and part of today's trad ing here no doubt represented even ing up of New Orleans accounts for over their holiday, and in final prep aration of the crop report Two more private crop reports were is- sued, figures on the indicated yield ranging from 10.000.000 to 10,40O, 900 bales.

GRAIN CARRYING RAILS NV DEMAND

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The sharp upward turn in today's stock market caused improved prices for many secondary and convertible bonds, while moderate improvement was displayed also by the high grade in- vestment issues.
 Buying of mortgages of grain car- rying railroads was particularly et- fective, fair gains being recorded by liens of the Frisco, Northern Pacif1c, Missouri Pacific, St. Paul and Louis- vile and Nashville. Undoubtedly some of the buying was traceable to optimism over tomorrow's conference of rail executives with President Coolidge. Chairman Elliott of the Northern Pacific stated that he thought the pessimlsm about the northwest had been overdone.
 Liens of industrial companies also were in fair demand, some of them following the trend of stocks and others independently on reports of improved earnings. Some of the New York Traction lines bonds sold low CT as a result of poorer earnings in September.
 Pressure against United States government bonds was lifted anu several of these issues moved up- ward. Little interest was displayed in the foreign division.
 Public offerings will be made to- morrow of s2,50O,O00 Pennsylvania Public Service first and retunding 14-year per cent bonds at 3S12 to yield ell per cent Announcement was made also that the Diamond Match company would retire tomor- row $4,S63,900 of it's 7b per cent de- bentures out of surplus.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 31.--Selling out Of long contracts furnished some little pressure against cotton today the liuui- dation. coming from traders who did not like the combination of holiday tomor- row in this market with the important government condition percentage and in- dicated yield figures early Friday. There were two stages of the liquidation, one in the early and one in the late trading In between the market was steady and inclined to do better
 The selling movement made it's appear ance on the opening, offerings being stimulated by poor Liverpool. After declines of 10 to 19 points a recovery set in. based on further unfavorabl weather in the belt. the bullish tone of the weekly weather and crop reports from the government and the strength or the stock market. It carried Decem- Der up to 30.33c, where the list was within
 to points of yesterdays close. In the afternoon the sagging tendency again developed and late in the session it had prices 22 to S7 points under yesterdays finals, with December off to 29.oSc. The close was 19 to 30 points net lower on the day. and the last sale of December was at 30.05c.
 Much rain was reported in the belt over night, along with a decided fall in temperatures. Snow and freezing weather were noted in some portions of the north west and the forecast called for little improvement in conditions which it was generally considered were playing havoc with open cotton. The weekly reports confirmed private accounts of damage by recent weather.

ACTIVE ISSUES IN GENERAL ADV A.NCE

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The unex- pected declaration of an extra divi- dend on United States Steel Common on the strength of an unusually good quarterly earnings report combined With the publication of a bullish forecast by one of Wall streets most famous speculators, brought a flooC of buying orders into today's stock market, which carried active issues l to 53z points above yesterday s closing quotations. The days trans actions ran well over a million shares for the first time in nearly month
 So great was the accumulation of buying orders for United States Steel common that it was some minutes before the committee on quotations could determine the official opening g price, which finally was fixed at s9 to SSA, as against a previous clos ing price of S63s. The price was finally run up to F, up 3 h on the day, on total transactions of more than 100000 shares.
 Net gains of I points or more also were recorded by Baldwin, Stude- . baker, American Can, Gulf States Steel! Coca Cola, Stewart Warner, Stromberg Carburetor, Mack Truck scores of. others were up a point or n.ore. Buying of Studebaker was influenced by the quarterly report which showed s23,6S earned on the common stock in the first nine months of this year, while American Gan was heavily accumulated on the speculative belief that the dividend would be materially increased within the next few months.
 Initial gains ran from to points tut toward the end of the first hour the upward movement was temporar- isy checked by the renewed heavi- ness of the oil shares, which ap- parently was based on the publica- ton of statistics showing that crude oil production reached new high record in September and that another increase was reported for the week ending October 27, due largely to the Increased yield of Central Texas fields. Texas Company, Marland, Associated, White Eagle and Cosden Preferred touched new lows for the year on this reaction, but recovered all or part of their losses later
 Short interests were generally credited with supplying most of the days buying power although com mission houses reported a reawaken- ing of public interest, which mas been at low ebb for many weeks.
 The rails followed in the wake of the industrials with special strength being shown by the northwestern carriers on buying predicated on the sharp improvement on earnings and the optimistic utterings of Howard Elliott, chairman of the Northern Pacific.

WALL STREET HAS A LIVELY SESSION

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-wall street was treated today to it's liveliest stock market session since last June, with prices of active issues jump ing 1 to 151a points above yester- days final quotations on the uneX pected declaration of an extra divi- dend last evening by the U. :. Steel corporation and the publication of a bullish forecast by Jesse l.. Liver more, one of Wall streets most fa nous market operators.
 Short interests, caught unawares by the steel corporations action, en- gagged in mad scramble to buy stocks in orders to cover their com mitments. This covering movement embraced all sections of the list, but was most pronounced in the steel, can and automobile issues. Com mission houses also reported an in- creased demand for stocks on the part of the outside public.
 For weeks the main price tend ency in the market has been down. ward with occasional rallies to cor rect what the experts call a weak ened technical condition. Little pub lie interest has been manifested, the sales averaging about half a million shares daily. Today's sales were nearly three times that amount. Clerks in brokerage houses, who have been leaving the financial dis trict soon after the market closed, sent out for theIr dinner tonight, prepared to work until fate hour A heavy turnover. particularly if it is accompanied by an extensive price movement, always involves considerable bookkeeping because of the necessary readjustment of cus- toner's margin accounts and the transfers necessitated by the stand ing rule of the stock exchange that all stocks purchased one day must be delivered before 2:15 p. m.. on the next day.
 United States Steel common closed 51s points higher at 911a on total transactions of over 100000 shares. Baldwin, Stu debaker, American Can, Continental can and Gulf States Steel also closed to 5 points higher with scores of ether issues up a point or more.
