NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-From

The oil group presented a stronger appearance and took the lead over coppers and rails. Cosden, Phillips Petroleum and Marland were the most active. The weakest spot in the market was Daniel Boone Woolen, which was bought recently. The drop in price carried the stock down to 17, a loss of points. After the early sell ing, some large buying orders came in to Baldwin, American Can and United States Steel, advancing these issues to high better than Saturdays close Studebaker, in which a move has been anticipated by well-informed people, came to life, and advanced to 35, new high for the move.

As we reach higher levels. these selling movements will become more frequent, and they usually serve to strengthen the tech ntcal position of the market. Whether the public enters or does not enter the market on large scale at this time, the underlying trend will continue as 1t Is at present, responding to the con- stant investment demand that is here.

THE past year has seen bond prices
 climb steadily. And the early part
 of this month witnessed a some what sharper upturn in the average price of 40 issues, taken as indicative of the general trend of the bond mar ket, than had been apparent in pre- ceding weeks.
 Furthermore, sales have been heavier than they were year ago. Up to June 21 of this year, the value at par of bonds sold on the New York exchange had amounted to $1, 1,717, ,604, ,970 as com pared with $1,511, ,905, ,060 for the same period of 1923.
 All this indicates an increased inter. est in bonds. an interest which is for the most part natural in view of the legarthy exhibited by the stock market.

Investors as rule turn to bonds for safe investment of their money at an adequate rate of return when stock prices are tumbling or wavering.
 More than this, however, there is a steadily growing interest in bonds on the part of smaller investors. During the war, when there was hectic agita- tion for the sale of government bonds, all purchased to the limit of their abil- ity from patriotic motives.
 Having thus learned the value of holding bonds which pay a regular and good rate of interest, thousands of peo- pie who formerly would have held their small savings for other purposes have become more and more interested in bonds as a means of making their sur- plus dollars work to good advantage.

NEW YORK, June s0.-Liverpool cables were lower than due this morn- ing, but our market did not fully meet them, owing to a fair demand for De- tober appearing. One broker is re- ported to have sold 5000 bales, which were readily taken. The market re- mained very steady during the first half hour, when some selling appeared after the posting of the weather map. At this time, there was some notice able trade buying, which quickly caused the market to reverse and touched 26c for october. We have noticed during the last two or three weeks on every decline that the trade has entered the market and taken out contracts, which speaks well for the trade, for there must be some improvement taking place there. True, the weather has been very good for the crop. and we under stand that Georgia has the best pros poets it has had for the last three years. After the bureau report Is passed, the market may sell of some what, but we doubt If the decline will be of consequence. We look for the trade to again enter the market. We have yet before us the two most critical months. We do not anticipate much change before the bureau report.

NEW YORK, June 30.-Cotton was 25 points lower early on selling by spot people and by local traders on good weather and bearish sentiment. The de- cline was halted, however, by shorts covering and the demand for July, with little for sale, its premium going to about 425 points over October. Trade diminished in the second hour. The weather map showed considerable rain in the eastern section, which led to comment that 1t was getting too much, while Texas Is in need of moisture. There were beneficial showers, however, in Arkansas and Oklahoma. The mar ket awaits the government report Wednesday; also any further develop ments in the July contract.-John F. Clark & Go.
