CARRIERS MAY GET MONDAYS
 PROV VIDED---

TF IT CAN be done without taking
 any money from Uncle Sam's
 pocketbook, or without curtail- ment of the mail service, postal em ployes throughout the United States will be granted as half holiday each Saturday from June fl to Sep tember 13, it was announced Friday by Postmaster General New.
 Although the order applies to all post offices in the United States, Birmingham employees likely will be cheated out of their time off because the local office cannot comply with all the requirements of the order, 1t was indicated Friday by k. B.. Smyer. postmaster.
 Limited numbers of employees and extraordinarily large amounts of work have resulted in the necessity of hiring additional men even under normal conditions here, he said. With such conditions existing it is unlikely that the work in Birming- ham ever will be>in such condition that the employees can take their time off.
 As in former years, however, an effort will be made to allow few hours off each week during the sum- mer months, Smyer announced.

EXPORT BUYING
 BOOSTS WHEAT Reduced Estimates Of Canadian Yield Also
 Bullish Factor

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Export buying ad did a good deal today to send the wheat values up. About 1,5Oo,o0o bush els were said to have been taken by foreign interests. Closing quotations on wheat were strong at 1h to 2ssc net advances with December $1.34A @1.34%. and May, $140B @1.41. Corn finished % to Mc down. Oats at Ac decline to
 hc gain and provisions unchanged to 25c lower.
 Highest prices today in the wheat market, reached just before business ended, were in connection with guesses that Canadian crop figures to he issued tonight would show a total yield of about 250,000,000 bushels for the three prairie provinces as against 267 ,000, 900 bushels according to the latest govern ment estimate earlier, the market here had beef% considerably affected by report pointing to a much reduced yield in Saskatchewan than any pre- vious forecast.
 Persistent buying on the commission houses formed the main basis. though the upward price trend which from the start was evidenced in the wheat trade. The fact that Liverpool quotations were higher than had been looked for was deemed significant in this respect. Much notice also was taken of esti- mates of the amount of wheat and rye which up to date have been purchased for Europe this season. On the other hand, announcement of 3,661 ,000 bush els increase of the United States vis- ible supply today had no apparent ef- feet.
 Better weather and especially ab- sence of frost led to heaNy selling of corn at times and, kept the corn mar ket easier in the fact of wheat strength. steady the price of oats.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 15.-The cot ton market developed decidedly weak CT tone in today's trading and prices declined from start to finish with only a single rally worth noting which, however, did not hold. The depressing influences were weak, Liverpool cables and the belief that tn recent rains fol- lowed by fair weather in the west would add materially to the yield. There were both heavy speculative and hedge selling with only moderate trade buying to absorb the offerings. E
 The market opened 25 to 36 points down with October at 21.40c; December at 155c, and January at 21.72c. Prices eased off steadily until near mid session when October and December were 53 to 54 points below Saturdays close. A moderate rally of about 20 points then occurred on reports sNthat the spot basis in the interior was hardening, but early in the afternoon prices weakened again and new lows for the day were made near the end with October, December and January 73 to 4 points below the lows, showing net losses for the day of 68 to 73 points.
 Although the weather map showed general and heavy rains in the eastern cit, it was practically dry in the cen tral and western portions. The off cial forecast was for fair weather in the western half and showers in the east. Traders took the view that should fair weather follow the rains as seems probable the crop will be more benefited than hurt The weakness of the afternoon was attributed largely to heavy selling by big New York oper- ator.
 The census report showing consump- ton of lint cotton by domestic mills during August had no effect on the market.
