UP s24 IN TWO WEEKS;
 RISE CONTINUES
Advance Of Past Six Days Due To Heavy
 Rainfall

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 5.--The cot ton market was on the upgrade during the greater part of last week, and Thursday morning reached the highest level of the movement, when December touched 25.S0c. At that price the mar ket showed gain of 100 points over the close Of the previous week. When compared with the price of 21.O2c rui- ing for December just prior to the pub lication of the last bureau report on September 23, 1t was q gain of 4IS points, lacking only two points of $24 a bale.
 The higher level of prices during the greater part of the week was que largely to the growing impression that the crop had been seriously injured m the eastern belt by the incessant rams of the last ten days or two weeks ot September, and had received an addi- tional check in most of the other parts of the belt from the low temperatures of the early days of the week, when the frost point was nearly reached over a large portion of the cotton region 
 These apparent setbacks to the crop have created the belief that the next government report to be issued on the morning. of October s will show m in in, dicated yield not much over l2,OOo,VVo bales. EA
 The advance was further stimulated by the reported good demand for spots in southern markets at a higher basls s and the very heavy .expe loi'4es bales reported on Wednesday, As the weather improved all over the south on that day and a completely fair weather map was shown Thursday, the advance eliminated for the time being with the early bulge Thursday morning. some rather large estimates of the crop aist alarmed the long interest and the iiqui dation which the market was com pelIed to absorb as result caused setback of S5 points from the high. q good part of this loss was recovere. during the short session Saturday when the shorts in turn covered freeil in advance of the forthcoming burea' report. fearing that the government might repeat the bullish surprise Of tn | last report.

ALLEGED SINNERS
 EVADE DEPUTIES
Officers Chase Ashley And
 Tracy For Ten Days

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, Oct. .. Sheriff K. c. Baker and numerous dep uties returned here tonight from n ten day chase of John Ashley and Joe Tracy, alleged lenders of the frejuve.. mated Ashley gang" that suffered heavily last summer when Its moon- shine camp was stormed in the north west part of this county.
 Search has been continued for Ash ley and Tracey since the bank of Pom pano was robbed of $5,000 in daylight hold-up several weeks ago. It was revealed here tonight by Sheriff Baker that three of his deputies had been wounded in gun fight with the al- leged moonshiners last Tuesday near Indiantown, 35 miles northwest of here. All of the wounds were slight.
 Near Salerno, in cove, Sheriff Ba- ker and his men located and seized a large cabin cruiser stocked with pro- visions enough to last several men six months and with POO gallons of gaso. line in its magazine. The craft was seized on a tip that it was to be moved by the men who robbed the Pompano bank in escaping from Florida.

MANY BUYERS
 SOON TO SEEK TO SELL STOCKS
Winner Election Day Not
 Likely To Shape < Markets Course
By EDWARD ]. CONDLON u-- .-..1 VEys,., rr, The Na- Uera Ill


 NEW YORK, Oct. 5.--Will the stock market have another major rise prlor to election day:%1Fhar is the trouble some question -that-has caused the H. nancial community eagerly to scan the lists of quarterly dividends, the earn ings statements and the weekly business and general mercantile reviews. A presi- dential year always is fraught with un- certainties over the political, and hence, business, outlook. Election day all ways appears as a date qu.te set apart for turn for better pr for worse. The turn does not always materialize.
 During the midsummer advance in security prices.sit .yas notable that much of the buyhigs scame from solid in vestors, buyers who purchased securl- ties to line strong boxes. It was quite evident that the mafketmen were dis- counting the expected fall improvement in business conditions. Now, fall IS here and the business reviews, while in- dicating moderate progress, show that many lines are backward. This would seem to place many of the potential buyers on the next Advance in prices among the professionals who purchase only for quick profits and with little thought of buying forsa Hong pull
 Plan To Unload
 It is no secret that many who bought stocks and bonds in July and August are only awaiting a-favorable market to unload. One has-bnt to sit in a few of the board rooms of stock ex- change firms to learn that. Therefore. it would seem that the winner on cleo ton day scarcely would shape the course of the stock market. If the taking of profits becomes the order of the day, it would not matter much who was elected, as the present outlook Is hardly sufficient to .-draw the public into the market in sufficient numbers to absorb such selling readily.
 Too Much Gold
 Tn the United States we are now get ting a taste of what it means to have most of the gold mined since King Solo. mons time. Too much gold means the expansion of credit, and this in turn induced speculation and results in high CT costs and therefore higher prices. Mounting costs and mounting prices cannot go on indefinitely, for the reac. tion is severe and tumbfes the whole structure.
 The stock market of the immediate future will be shaped more by the events of fall and winter rather than outlook for the more dissant future. Cheap money at present is providing the means for sustaining bond and stock prices, for the3low interest rate available at banks Is certainly no in- ducement for a depositor to place any considerable idle funds for employment in that fashion. The remarkable sue cess which the many new offerings of securities have met during recent months is directly traceable to cheap money.

DAUGHERTY CASE
 UP FOR DECISION
Supreme Court To Pass On
 Legality Of SubpOenas

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The ques- tion of whether congressional commit tees have power to compel witnesses to testify and produce books and other cyl Ienee is the most far-reaching matter at issue before the supreme court, wiich begins it's fall session Monday.
 There are several cases before the court which should bring clear-cut de. cision. The question was the subject or bitter debate in the senate on several occasions last year.
 One case is that of Nal $. Daugherty, brother of the former attorney general, who refused to produce the books oI ms bank, and was upheld in federal court. The court also has the case or Harry F. Sinclair, who was cited for contempt by the senate for his failure to testify in the oil investigation, and in- dicted by federal grand jury here.

purchases, the changes in actual Quan- titles of our principal imports are shown in the chart above. Of tea and coffee only did we purchase more than during the year 1922-23. Especially notable was the 46.4 per cent decline in hide and skin imports during period when our sales abroad of these same commodities increased by about 71.000,- 900 pounds. This reveals trend of great importance to the long downcast American leather industry.
 The other declines in quantity of iu- ports. during the year were. silk, 10.4 per cent; wool and mohair, 54.2 per cent; tobacco, 2S.3 per cent; rubber, 22.7 per cent; cotton, 3S2 per cent, and cane sugar, 13.T per cent,
 It Is worthy of attention. further in considering the commodities listed in the chart, that while they are the chief agricultural items purchased by the United States. they also constitute very nearly a complete list of the necessities for which we depend extensively upon other nations.

TWIE value of this country's agricul-
 tnral imports declined s9.5 per cent
 from the 1e22-23 figure during the year ending June 30, while the value of farm products which we exported in creased 2.S per cent. Nevertheless, the value of imports exceeded that of ex- ports by 100000. It should be borne in mind, however, that about 45 per cent of the imports on the basis of value were non-eompetitive com modities, such as silk, coffee, tea, rub Der and hemp.
 Upon this basis, then, the value of last years agricultural imports which do not enter into direct competition with the products of our own farmers was about $1,150 100000 while our total agricultural sales to other countries amounted to s1, ,se7. .0oo,0Qo, a difference of about $117.000,0o0.
