BREAK IN COTTON
 EXCEEDS , GENTS
Decline Brings In Covering For
 Over Week End

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The decline which started in the cotton market inn mediately after the publication of the governments crop report last week con tinued until the price of December de- liveries here reached 22.09c during Wednesdays trading. At this figure the market showed declines of about 95 to 3A cents a pound as compared with the high prices of the previous Wednes- day and the break evidently was suf- ficient to bring in considerable cover ing for over the weekend. Trade buy ing also was reported in considerable volume, but recoveries of 75 to 80 points from the lowest were not fully main tained owing to continued good wealth CT for the making of late cotton than picking operations in the south.
 The decline since the last government report has been attributed to rapidly increasing receipts in the south and ex- pectations of an increase in the next of ficial crop indication. With reference to the first, it is reported that private returns foreshadow a probable ginning of between 100000 and 7,250,000 bales to October IS compared with 6,409,000 to the same date last year and 6,978,000 two years ago. No definite figures have been mentioned as to the probable showing of next Saturdays government crop report but 1t is quite generally claimed by local sellers that weather conditions since the first of the month have been fully equal to or better than the usual for this season of the year. On this basis, it would seem that a crop indication of over 12,500000 bales is anticipated. Meanwhile, advices from the domestic goods markets have indi- cated a continued hand-to-mouth de- mand, but an improved business has been reported in the interior particu- larly in the middle west where buying has probably been encouraged by com paratively high grain prices.
 Toward the end of this week reports reached here of a higher spot basis in various parts of the south due to com paratively small offerings from the in- terior and an increased demand from exporters. Engagements for end-Octo- Der shipments abroad are understood to be large and with actual exports of 326
 7S0 bales this week some anticipate that exports for the month will reach a mil lion bales. Cotton has continued to move from the south to New York for delivery on October contracts here but notices are being stopped promptly enough to maintain 8 substantial pre- ,mium on the spot month.

SUGAR MARKET

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The raw sugar market was without change today Cuban being quoted at 6.03c duty paid While no sales were reported, late trans actions to local refiners yesterday were said to have aggregated 125, 900 bags Cuban at 6.03c for prompt shipment.
 Raw sugar futures were again un- der the influence of European selling and at the close showed declines of Der closed 3.s6c; March, S.15c; May 3.23c; July, 3.32c.
 Transactions in refined sugar con. tinued in fair volume with prices un' changed to 10 points higher, list price, still range from 7.15cot 7.6Oc for ,finG granulated. Refined futures were nomi nal.

AT THE JEFFERSON

Two jolly old tars are Billy and Leo Doran, who head the dancing cast of the Al G. Field minstrels, the thirty eighth annual edition of which will be presented at the Jefferson theater for the last times this season with matinee and night shows today.
 These two brothers have been with the Field organization for many years, and each succeeding year they outdO their efforts of previous seasons. In the first part, on board the yacht, their dancing is of the type that sailors like so well, and indulge in at every possi- ble opportunity. They make you feel the salt water, the high winds and the rolling waves of life at sea.

The Louisiana loss is insignificant. In Texas some loss is not unnatural follow ing the record-breaking 1923 cotton crop Losses are general in the tobacco states, with the exception of Virginia. Smaller cash income promises in states of the northeast are almost entirely due to dullness in the dairy industry, as crops have averaged fairly good.
 All of the wheat belt states will en- joy a remarkable increase in income And despite the poor corn crop, most of the corn states will do slightly bet ter than they did year ago. Money returns in the range states will just about equal the 1923 returns. The Pa cific coast, however, has been rather hard hit, due to poor grain crops, a falling off in dairying and none too successful fruit year.
 The states which will receive a farm income greater than last years by 20 per cent or more are: North Dakota, 75 per cent; Georgia, 47 per cent; Okla homa, 45 per cent; Arkansas, 34 per cent; Mississippi 30 per cent; Kansas S6 per cent; Alabama, g per cent.

STOCK MARKET
 CLOSES PRIMER AS MONEY DIPS
Former Break Is Traced To Liquidation Of
 Large Holdings
By EDWARD J. CoNDLON Ieaaed Wire to Aee.Herald)

| NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Almost with
 out exception the leading railroad and
 industrial stocks closed higher Friday.
 Few of the gains were at all impress
 sive, but the undertone of the market
 was unmistakably firmer. The turn over was less than three-quarters of a million shares, but there was some urg- | ent short covering at times and not a
 little of this came from out-of-town sources. HtI
 The firm close of the stock market
 was assured by the dip in call money
 to per cent after renewing again at 21a. In view of the satisfactory per-
 formances of stocks during the closing days of the week, it became increas- ingly evident that Tuesdays break was traceable to the liquidation on large
 holdings and not to a general move on the part of investors to desert the con-
 structive side.
 Unsettlement Increases The tenor Of the weekly review of
 business and finance was not, perhaps, all that could be desired. Distribution and consumption is proceeding at a fair pace, but hardly measures up to the stride of few weeks ago. Early in September price unsettlement was not as great as 1t is now. Then too, warm cE WcALuCT tAdn was S1pccLeu AdS tended to restrict buying against fall
 and winter requirements. Lower cotton
 prices, too, have tended to offset the
 increased buying power which would
 result from higher grain markets. Steel prices now, stand at the lowest levels in nearly two years with production
 running little changed from week to week so far this month.
 Dun's review sees some new signs
 of expansions, both in domestic and overseas commerce. It is pointed out that the foreign trade outlook has frightened considerably with the suc- cessful placing of the German loan. Fewer Failures In South Failures for the week are reported by Dun's as 346, against 349 last week, and 3S6 year ago. Increases occurred in
 the east and in the west, while in the south and Pacific coast decreases were
 recorded.
 Bradstreet's Journal places the bank
 clearings in the United States for the
 week ending October 16 at SS,O46, ,64S, 900, against $s,124 ,929, 900 last week and $7, PAS, ,963, 900 in the corresponding week
 last year.
 The bond market proved quite as
 steady as stocks, with the treasury 4As
 again reaching a new high level. The
 German bonds eased slightly under less
 urgent buying, but the French issues appeared quite unperturbed by the prospects of the early offering of the
 $150, 100000 French loan in this mar ket.

COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Liverpool was better than due this morning, reflecting the demand for cotton goods from In- dia and the Near East, which has kept Manchester fairly busy recently so that there is a buying power in the English market. Here, prices advanced early on some European buying and a mod crate amount of short covering, but without any large volume of business. Continued good weather in the south keeps sentiment bearish and in the aft ornoon the market drifted slowly down to last nights close without any mark ed increase in pressure but with only moderate trade demand. Speculative sentiment is generally bearish, in which feeling the south is inclined to share, although it Is an interesting fact that while the basis is reported as improv- ing in Texas, where the earliest re-

TN HE 1924 crop year will probably
 return to American farmers a to-
 tai of ten billion dollars in cash this representing an approximate, in- crease of 3.5 per cent over last years cash income of $9,540, 100000. Better still, farmers in nearly every section of the country except on the Pacific coast are likely to have as much money as they did a year back. This is accord ing to a comprehensive state by state survey of crop conditions and prices as made by the Howard -Moorhouse Agri- cultural Service, which further esti- mates that the purchasing power of the 1924 cash income will be per cent above the pre-war level as the result of lower prices for goods the farmer buys.
 The accompanying map shows the outcome, expressed in percentage changes from a year ago, of the How rd-Moorhouse survey. Declines in cash income of considerable proportions are scarce in states east of the Pacific coast. In the cotton belt, for instance, losses in cash returns will be experienced only by the Carolinas, Texas, and Louisiana.

q NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-The cot ton market was disposed to do better today owing to uneasiness concerning the storm and large mill takings for the week, but the movement to market for the week was of colossal propor- tions, causing large increase in worlds visible of American, which weakened values in the afternoon. Except for the uncertainty attending the gulf storm, weather conditions were gener- ally favorable throughout the cotton region, generally clear and warm with no important change indicated for im- mediate future. Advices from domestic cotton goods centers are encouraging, there being more inclination to trade, and reports from England are generally optimistic; a more favorable view be- ing taken of British political and trade conditions. Exports from the United States are large and tend to reflect the improvement in trade abroad. Com pared with last season, exports from the United States to date are 1,479,000 against 1,247 000, of which 325,000 were shipped the past week, against 239,000 last year. Spinner takings continue large, for week, 322,O00 against 2S4,OO0; since August 1, 100000 against 1,946,- OOO On the other hand, the movement to market remains heavy; for week, 669,- 900 against 542,000; thus far this sea son, 3,6SS, ,000 against 3,3S4,000. Because of the movement to market exceeding spinner takings by a big margin, the worlds visible supply of American cot ton continues to build up at a rapid rate, as noted by the following com paratives: American, 2,605,00O against 2,276,OoO; other kinds, S7S,OO0 against 903, 900; all kinds, 3,47s,0OO against 3,179,- 900. In other words, the worlds visible supply of American cotton, which on September 1 was about S32,000 against STA, ,OOO, is now 330,0O0 larger than a year ago, with only about one-third of the crop marketed. In view of the bulk of the crop having yet to be marketed, 1t Is reasonable to expect a continu- ance of large receipts and further gains in the worlds visible.-H. & B. Beer to J. F. Willingham & Co.

ceipts have been absorbed, it is re- ported easy in the valley where re- ceipts of early cotton are still in vol ume. As a matter of fact, business out side the United States has been improv- ing more rapidly than our domestic trade, which is held back by election uncertainties. The result Is that there is a greater demand from Europe, more especially the continent, than there is from the United States.
