COTTON BREAKS ON EVENING-UP
Market Closes Steady At Net Losses Of 20 To
 P Points

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The outstand- ing feature in the cotton market today was the final evening-up of October contracts, which was accomplished by a very sharp break in the price. Other wise, trading was generally quiet and fluctuations comparatively narrow. Aft CT selling at 22.S3c early, December eased off to 22.56c in the late trading and closed at 22.60c, the general market closing steady at net declines of 20 to 22 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 10 points on October but generally unchanged to points lower. There was a spurt of covering by Oc- tober shorts at the start, which sent the price up to 23.S5c, but the demand was quickly supplied. It looked as if a considerable long interest had been holding on in hope that the stopping of the final notices today would be ac- eompanied by a sharp advance. When nothing of that sort occurred there was an effort to liquide contracts.
 Before the-offerings were absorbed, October broke to 22.61c, or 109 points net lower and within 10 points of De- cember. The last sale at midday at 22.90c. Later months were pulled down by the closing weakness of October. There was some buying on reports of light to heavy frosts at many points in the belt last night, but the effect of this news was modified by a private crop report estimating the condition at 55.6 and the indicated yield at 12,S76, 900 bales, or slightly above the average figures. Prospects for fair and warmer weather in the next two or three days also promoted some of the commission house liquidation which forced prices off to 22.6Sc for January, or about 24 points net lower in 3 narrow market. The close was within 3 or 4 points of the lowest. 5r.E-- -

STOCKS ADVANCE
 DESPITE HEAVY ! PROFIT TAKING
Buying Encouraged By Optimistic Prediction
 Of Steel Leaders

NEW YORK, Oct 24.-Stock prices made further progress on the up side today despite some rather heavy profit taking in recent favorites and the un- covering of few more weak spots by bear traders. Buying was encouraged by the optimistic predictions of leaders of the steel industry gathered here for the semi-annual meeting of the Ameri- can Iron and Steel institute; the sur plus of money revealed in the bank statements and the gradual lessening of apprehension concerning the outcome of the national election.
 Considerable irregularity developed just before the close. A bullfsh dem- 'onstration in the coalers by Jersey Central jumping 14 points and Lacka- wanna climbing 8h was followed, by heavy selling of rubbers, U. s. Rubber common and first preferred and Fiske Rubber first preferred, dropping 1A to 2 points. Frisco common was run up to new high at 3S% and IT, S. Cast Iron Pipe was bid up above 116 on active buying for both accounts.
 Chief speculative interest in the rails was confined largely to the second grace carriers. New 1924 highs in the rail group were established by Kansas City Southern, Colorado Southern, Gulf, Mo bile and Northern preferred and Rut- land preferred. Lehigh Valley touched 64%, the highest price since the segre- gation of the coal properties, and Read ing closed more than points higher at 62h. Other strong spots In this group included Chicago and Eastern Illinois preferred, Norfolk and Western and Texas and Pacific.
 Resumption of bullish demonstrations in the motors resulted in the Maxwell issues being lifted to new high prices for the year. Nash Motors jumped 31s points and substantial gains also were recorded by Mack Trucks, White Mo- tors. Pierce-Arrow preferred and Wtllys- Overland preferred.
 Fresh buying developed in the cop per shares. American Smelling led that group by moving up to new nigh peak price for the year at 1s?s. SuD- sequent profit taking forced 1t back about a point from the top. New peak nrices also were established by St. Jos eph's Lead and International Nickel. sugars made partial recovery from recent heaviness. American Sugar Re lining, Cuba Cane preferred and Punta Aierre each closing more than a point higher. American Beet Sugar preferred broke through it's previous years low to 681h Merchandising issues contln- Ted fo display a firm tone, Manhattan Shirt being one of the new favorites. other individual strong spots included 5rIeischmann, Famous Players, United Fruit. American Waterworks 6 per cent preferred and General American Tank Gar up 1 to 3 points.
 Call money ruled unchanged at ner cent. Time money and commercial paper rates held steady with business quiet.
 Foreign exchange rates were slightly reactionary, due to the pressure for rrrojr end cotton bills Wheat exports d,,rine the past week totaled 17,7OQ,0OO bushels. a new high record. Demand sferlina ruled about 1ac lower at S4.49 and French francs were quoted around 5.21c.

DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Buyers of un- finished cloths bid old prices for print cloths and sheetings today and were unable to secure much action as the mills were disinclined to sell freely in advance of the cotton report tomorrow. Yarns were quiet. In the absence of action by eastern gingham mills to meet the new prices of southern manu- facturers little new business was placed. Floor covering openings for a new sea son are scheduled for November 1. Ad- vances in, worsted yarns for carpet purposes will take place November l, 2 cents a pound increase being named on some numbers. Advance wash goods business was fair on new printed ma terials, chiefly the very fine cloths of aI-combed cotton and mixed silk and cottons.

den parties, royal receptions, court balls, city banquets or special opera performances in Downing street. Even the special admiralty yacht, the Enchantress, which the late con- servative government laid aside from motives of narrow parsimony, has been brought out again for the use of labor ministers and their friends.
 And there has been no nonsense about dress. The wives and daugh- ters of ministers have nots only taken the trouble to go to court on two consecutive nights, but have worn en tirely different and quite suitable clothes on each occasion. The prime minister has been so obliging as to allow himself to be seen in the city in blue velvet and gold braid.
 "All the same it has been an im- mense triumph for the labor party. No one can ever again accuse them of unreasonable hostility to that law ish social display which gives so much pleasure to poor people who have to watch it from the pavement. If they had done as we'll in parlia- ment as they have done in society," but, after all, it is not fair to ask too much.'

REVENUES AND EXPENSES
 OF THE ALASKA RAILROAD

The revenue of The Alaska Rail- road, exclusive of river service, in creased from $743, ,133.27 for the year ended June 30, 1923, to 937 7,524.71 for the year ended June 30, 1924. The expenses of operation and ppkeep increased from $2.254 ,896.99 to $2,- O8,587.47. The deficit of $1,771,- 062.76 in 1924 has been met by an appropriation of $1,245, 100000 by con- gress, and by the use of other funds and resources of the railroad, on hand at the beginninfi of the year.
 Freight earnings increased $74,- 219.66, resulting mainly from the op- ening of the river service. Tourist travel accounts for an increase in passenger revenues amounting to s14 429.36. The dining car service was taken over by the railroad from the contractor in 1924; revenue from this source shows an increase of S20,358.30. The opening of the Curry Hotel accounts for an addition of $24,024.80. There was an increase from the sale of power, S5,O45.79, and in other revenues, S585.52. There were decreases in the following items: Sleeping car revenue S9,003.- 75; mail, $9,366.06; express, $965.56; telegraph and telephone $792.55; hos pital $16,277.31; Anchorage dock $4,- 318.11; Seward dock $3,54865.
 Maintenance of way and structures cost $208 ,289.34 more in 1924 than in 1923, inclduing repair of damage due to floods and storms during the fall of 1923 and $11O,36326 additional for ties Other increases in expense were: maintenance of equipment $59, 9,898.58; traffic expenses $12,483,- 35; miscellaneous S66,366.82; general $25,919.62. There was a decrease of $19,267.33 in transportation expenses due largely to improvement in oper- ating conditions following the com pletion of the Panama River bridge and standard gauge track between Nenana and Fairbanks.
