CLOTH AND YARN
 REVISED UPWARD
Price Advance Averages IA Cent
 A Yard

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Cotton goods trading for the longer future has not yet attained the volume that is cus- tomary in the fall of the year, due in large part to uncertainty about raw cot ton values. A sharp rise followed the issuance of the government condition report this week and 1t was followed by . nasty upward revision of cloth and yarn prices by mills.
 Advances in cloths ranged from Nc to Sc a yard, with the average of Ac maintained. Yarn prices were advanced 1c to 2c a pound in the trading mar kets and from % to 4c a pound by spinners. Buying has reached a point that has encouraged many mills to ex- pand operations. In the southern field 1t is estimated that 90 per cent ca pacity is now being operated but in other sections there are still many idle spindles and looms.
 Trading this week was better in sheetings of a heavy character. Some colored goods have been reduced. Wide sheetings of the more popular makes are comfortably under order. Delay Is being encountered in naming spring prices on gingham. Percales are in light call. A steady business has been done on broadcloths, voiles, sateens and some other fine yarn goods Silk and Acotton and crayon and cotton mixtures have sold we'll Spring orders for un- derwear and wash fabrics are below normal while the spot demand cor heavy underwear and hosiery has shown improvement.
 There has been better trading of late in automobile fabrics. Prices current in primary channels are as follows: Print cloths. ~2S-inch 64x64s, 7Ac; 60x60s, 7c; sA-inch 64x6Ss. 9Ac; brown sheetings, southern standards, 15hc; denims, 2.20c, 20c; tickings, 24h9 926c; staple ginghams, wide 1Sc nominal; dress ginghams, 1sh @21c nominal; prints, 10c.

UNEVEN GAINS
 MARK DEALINGS
 IN SECURITIES
Textile Markets Looking Up, With Cotton And
 Wool Ascending
By EDWARD J. CONDLON

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The week in the security markets saw about the same improvement which characterized general business. In other words, prog ress was by no means even. In the stock market, advances for the week in railroad and industrial shares were interspersed with declines as certain groups were affected by adverse condi- tions. In business, the textile markets are looking up, with cotton and wool ascending; hides are marked up for the week and the weekly index of food prices is higher. The steel trade is one of the principal laggards. Due. of course, to the uncertainty in the minds of buyers regarding new methods of quoting prices, now that the time hon. ored "Pittsburg Plus" system has been ruled out.
 Money Continues Low As last week, the greatest sustain ing force in the security markets has been cheap money. Again 2 per cent call money has remained unchanged for the week and time accommodations have tended lower. Taken by itself, the money market has been very unin- teresting. The demands made for cred it have hardly kept pace with the att cumulations at interior points, where loans have been paid off and funds re turned to the banks. There is, of course, a possibility of a stiffening of money rates as the October require ments become more pronounced. Foreign exchange has been relatively quiet all week, even German marks maintained theip equilibrium in the face of the crash in German bond prices. The South American exchanges were featured byS succession of new highs in Argentine pesos, with the peak for 1924 reached Saturday at 35.S2 cents per peso. Rio exchange held steady despite the reports of a further out break in one of the Brazilian states. The efforts of the Brazilian government to keep down expenses and the favor able impression in the money centers of the world and it probably will take more than a minor uprising to shake this confidence.
 Rail Earnings Jump.
 One of the most reassuring factors in the business situStion during the week was the record of August rail way edrninsS Mhlch lar eAceeueu pre- dictions made by railway executives. Although traffic for the month was considerably below that of August, 1923, the net earnings were actually higher. The inference is that the Sep tember earnings will show the same trend.
 Incidentally, the latest figures on car loadings, for the second week in Sep tember, showed record levels for the year and a very substantial increase over the previous week. The movement of crops is increasing steadily so that the weekly figures will be awaited with interest.

 The stock market was featured by a series of bulish demonstrations in the public utility, motor and food shares and steady accumulation of several of the southern and southwestern rails Standard industrials showed a tendency to heaviness, but this was believed in some quarters to be a screen to cover buying elsewhere.
 Bond prices approached within a small margin of the years high levels with strength of the foreign govern ment liens and United States govern ment securities among the features. The principal development in the "out-

NEW TOPS REACHED BY WHEAT AND RYE
Persistent Cold And Rain In
 Canada Big Factor

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-New top record prices for the season have been reached by both wheat and rye this week in connection with European buying on big scale. Compared with a week ago, wheat this morning was 1%c to Sc higher, whereas corn was < te 5stJ 55s7hJ down and oats hc to EXC off. In the provision market lard was 45c to SIC up, with meats varying from 200 decline to 15c gain.
 Persistent wet, cold weather in Can ada delaying the wheat crop movement there and damaging the quality of grain appeared to be factor of much impor- tance in bringing about enlarged Euro. pean demand for breadstuffs. Usually at this time of the year, wheat prices in Canada are depressed by large re- ceipts, but for at least the time being the current arrivals at Winnipeg ap- peared to be reduced to about half of the 1923 level. Meanwhile stormy weather in Europe adding to previous transatlantic crop damage gave evident emphasis to the movement toward get ting increased Supplies from the United States.
 Among the reports which attracted special notice was on assertion that the wheat crop af Italy this year would be but little more than half of the 1923 production and that the increased re- quirements of France would alone equal the entire surplus looked for from Aus tralia.
 Corn prices rallied only in part from recent severe declines based on wide spread opinion that absence of frost to- gether with better weather, steadily en- larged the probable yield of merchant able corn Rallies we're for the most part due to official reports that new ertheless the corn crop taken on the whole is relatively even more backward than a month ago.
 Oats were governed principally by the action of corn values. OIn pro- visions the outstanding influence was the rapid reduction of lard.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The week has been one of a general change in sentiment and prices have scored a big advance. To the great majority, the government report was a distinct shock, as a difference only of 190,000 bales caused an advance of $10 per bale. The trade are figuring how much less than 12,596, 900 will be shown in the next gov ernment report. So it looks like the world is beginning to doubt a season of plenty and are fearing an inadequate production of cotton this year. Should this prove true, with so little cotton in the world and such a scarcity of goods on the shelves, much higher prices would be inevitable. To sum up the situation, think it can be said with the big turnover in sentiment, based on fears of a much smaller production than had been so generally expected, prices will meet good support on all good breaks and the buying side ap- pears the safest in such periods.-Fen- ner & Beane to %ahn & Virgin.

 ing sought by shipping interests here. Louisiana. The reason that we do not owe more money here and that we have not made more progressive improvement through borrowed money is the very great conservatism of our people.
 The good cotton crop of the south this year, with the excellent price which will obtain for it, will bring enormous wealth to the south and will encourage it's people to go ahead with improve ments.
 Bond houses like that of Caldwell & Co.,, which have national distribution facilities for their bond issues, will double and double again the output of substantial southern securities within the next ten years. The south is just beginning to develop. It should grow more rapidly in the next 20 years than it has grown in the past 50 years. So far as it's public securities are con- cerned they may sell at a somewhat higher interest rate for the next few years, but the values behind these se- curities are really greater, per dollar of bond issue, than are those of any other section.

 Cotton quotations improved in reflec- tion of the governments reduced crop estimate and adverse weather reports. bearish government estimate also re- suited in sharp run-up in corn prices while meat quotations moved up in re sponse to increased export requirements and the embargo placed upon the ex- portation of Russian wheat.

COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Very heavy profit taking took place practically dur ing the entire session this morning. It is quite natural after such an advance as we have had since the issuance of tue government report that a great many people wh0 had long cotton were anxious to take profits and also 1t is unQuestionably true that people who were anxious to hedge before but have refrained, took advantage of the high point on which to put out their hedges so, between the profit taking and the hedge selling, it is quite natural for the market to ease off this morning. There are some predictions of frosts in the western belt, but whether they will materialize, 1t is hard to say. The weather in the eastern belt is not fa- vorable and unless there. is a decided improvement over the weekend, we would not be at all surprised to see prices advance further.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 27.-Develop- ments of the week. numerous and im- portant, occasioned an advance of about 4 cents per pound, or $20 per bale in cotton from the low level of last Mon day. Following last Tuesdays govern ment crop forecast for yield of 12,596,- 900 bales against 12, ,787 ,000 September S., and 12,956,OO0 on August g, which was the peak of the season, Washington is- sued pars for October 8 report which were construed bullish, probably indi- eating smaller crop forecast still by the next government forecast. Mean while! unfavorable weather was the rule to the east of the Mississippi river, where almost incessant rains occurred, excessive in localities, and the close of the week brought rain and colder weather to the southwest. Influenced by the important rise in raw cotton val ues, adVices from the goods markets were distinctly better, larger sales re- ported at higher prices for cotton and woolens, the American Woolen company having advanced quotations to 321a cents a yard, effective at once. Indica- tions are for clearing weather for the western half of the belt, especially for northern portion, where 1t will be colder with the probability of light frost to- night, but there is not much danger of killing frost, and it will likely be fair and warmer in the west belt by Mon day, probably clearing and cooler east of the Mississippi river. Under the cir cumstances, we think market high enough for present, as in event of bet ter weather next week, market likely will ease off again.
