COTTON. LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 11.-Under- tone of the market was steadier today and values were somewhat higher in consequence of better cables than due. attributed to shorts covering, and owing to prospects for rain in the cotton re zion. No improvement was reported in the demand by the interior, in fact. some points reported the basis slightly easier, but advices were more numerous as to farmers refusing to sell, preferrinR to hold their cotton for a better price. There was no rain of consequence in the interior overnight, but unseason- ably low temperatures prevailed in the east half of belt with record minimum low of 54-degrees at Augusta, Ga, for this date of September. Snow was re- ported from the far northwest today, which will likely be followed by rain in the southwest, perhaps in other sec tions of the cotton belt by the end of the week, probably colder. Recently the government reported that the size of this years crop will be determined by the date of frost. On the other hand, Houston, Texas, wired us: Spot de mand is not here to take care of the movement and a declining basis is evil dent. A 10-point cut in the basis was made today and even this does not re- fleet the true condition of the market. The interior seems anxious to sell and seems to be very sure of lower prices still in the near future. Everyone here is bearish."- & B. Beer to J. F. VII lingham & Co.

CROP ESTIMATE IS
 OFF SAYS HEFLIN
Claims It Exaggerates The Ac . tual Prospective Yield

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. 1.-The government estimate of the cotton crop, issued last Monday, Is criticised in a statement issued here last night by Senator J. Thomas Heflin. in which he charges 1t exaggerated the actual pros pective yield.
 Senator Heflin's statement follows, in part: q
 "The governments estimate of this years crop has overshot the mark by several hundred thousand bales. The report contradicts itself. While 1t shows a great falling off in condition of the cotton crop as compared to the last condition report, 1t does not correctly account for the reduction in the yield which would necessarily follow, accord ing to their own figures, and in keep ing with the report and widespread de- terioration which has taken place in the cotton belt during the past few weeks.
 within the last 90 days have been in Arkansas, North Carolina South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and have seen nothing in actual cotton pros poets to justify the governments esti- mate of over 12,000,0 900 bales for the 1924 crop. do not believe the crop will be more than Ii, 800 ,000 bales, and 1t may not reach that amount.
 "In the next 12 months the world will need and the world could easily use 15, 900 ,0OO bales of American cotton and our supply is going to fall three and a half million bales short of that amount.
 eff properly handled and intelligently marketed this crop will sell for 30 cents and above"

OIL STOCK GAINS HELP TO BOOST
 OTHER ISSUES
Attitude Of Public Frus- trates Professional
 Drive
By EDWARD ,. CONDLON

By ED AkD .. OONDLON
 Especial Leased Wire to 'Age-Heraid
 NEW YORK, Sept 1.-The tussle between the bear contingent and those interested on the constructive side of the stock market resulted in a deadlock up to the final half> hour of business. when gains in the oil shares seemed to lift the industrial section of the list out of the lethargy which had prevailed since the late morning and higher prices were recorded for the day Not a lit tie credit goes to the commodity mar kets for the awakening of support From the standpoint of the turnover. the stock market Thursday swas one of the dullest sessions in more than fort night.
 The drive of professionals to force security prices lower was frustrated by the attitude of the public in the market Whenever pressure was exerted trading turned dull and the short interest be gan to retreat as gracefully as possl, ble. In fact, professional sales formed large percentage of the offerings These was a noticeable tendency to cover stocks which led the decline . week ago, such as American Wooien' Chemical.
 Oil Stocks Bubble
 The oil stocks bubbled late in the ses- sion on what appeared to be . renewal of pool efforts. The inference is that oil stocks did not figure very prom nently in the summers advance and are in a much better position than other groups in the general list to hold any gains recorded at this time
 A stronger foreign exchange market was the natural result of the Paris dis patch relating to the renewal or the S1O0, ,OOO, 900 Morgan credit to France. Sterling at one time showed net ad- vance of a cent, but sold off + of cent from the peak. Belgian francs were pushed above the scent level for a brief interval with the French franc maintaining a S3-point differential- The Far Eastern exchange rates were easier, with the tone of Japanese exchange heavy. The gain in silver prices in New York was offset by the decline in Lon don with the subsequent selling or the Asiatic exchange rates
 Money Is Soft
 The money market has exhibited a certain s0ftness this week which some market observers did not believe possi- ble following the slight stiffening of the rate for a short interval last week. Time loans were quoted fracti0nally easier, though in other departments of the money market the demand is al most as light in comparison with the credit available. Further, it is becom- ing increasingly evident that the amount of gold certificates in cireula- ton is swelling rapidly Since August, 1922, it has been the policy of the treas ury and federal reserve board to in crease the volume of gold certificates outstanding.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-During the krst two hours of today's market ses- lon the market was very dull and ir-
 eRular. The principal feature was the keakness in the Northwestern rails, due b the fact that the Great Northern kailwal reported only $f.08 earned on, he preferred stock during the first half If, 1924. Under this influence both Edythern Pacific and Great Northern
 eaeted sharply. In the early afternoon aliying tendencies in the general list

Closing prices were at the est levels of the day for the most part, nd bullish activities we're especially lronounced in the oil group. Practical E all issues in this class scored sub hantial gains. Houston oil advanced b 75M against Wednesdays low, of I2A, while Pacific oil reached new ligh ground on the current movement It 4914. Marland was also purchased in hrge volume and touched 36 3-S. Prin- lipal new developments consisted of a possibility of an early recognition of the eussian government by France, the Rayment of the second installment of

conditions. Recent reports have not all etered the agricultural outlook other than to make it brighter.
 To quote typically reliable estimate of what the farmers gross cash income will be for the crop year just closing, the Howard -Moorhouse agricultural service places the prospective total in come at close to ten billion dollars. A months ago this same authority estimat- ed the probable total income at about nine and thre-quarter billion dollars.
 There have been reports from some communities of farmers who cannot benefit from higher prices because they have less to sell. But these reports are exceptions rather than the rule. It is more important to note that there is de- cided improvement in the great middle west agricultural section and that this improvement of farmers as a whole will be reflected in all lines of business.

A the election season with its pur- A suit)of the rural vote draws nearer,
 fasaners are enjoying the, highest purchasing power of four long, lean years. The value today of 16 leading farm products, in exchange for non-ag- ricu1tural commodities, is 83 per cent of what it was before the war. Last month it was 79 per cent. But the best feature of the whole situation lies not in any sudden prosperity which may have come about. It lies rather in the fact that improvement in the financial condition of farmers is soundly and consistently developing.
 It grows more and more evident that early summer rift in the cloudy agri- cultural skies was not the result of a furry of false hope occasfoned by sen- sationai advances in grain prices, but the outcome of favorable fundamental
