CHICAGO DECIDES
 TO INACCURATE COTTON MARKET
Board To Deal In Futures
 With Texas Port Of Deliveries

CHICAGO, Sept. S.-Chicagos rise as the Farm Capital of America was given further impetus today by the de- cision to establish a cotton future mar ket on the Chicago Board of Trade.
 By a referendum of the members, a new set of rules was adopted which pro- vide for the creation of futures mar ket in cotton on the floor of the ex. change. ,
 Steps will be taken at once to put the market into Operation," President Frank l.. Carey declared in a state ment tonight, trading will probably be- gin October 10.
 "For several years the advisability of a cotton market in this section of the country has been stressed by busi- ness leaders. Because of it's existing marketing machinery the Board of Trade was deemed the logical point for such market.
 After series of inquiries and in. formal discussions lasting over a period of a year. i.. was decided to make Houston and Galveston joint port of delivery on Chicago contracts. New rules adopted today were then drawn up and approved by the bureau of eco monies, department of agriculture and by legal cousel before being posted for ballot.
 "These rules are in strict compliance with the provisions of the cotton flu. lures act, under which the market will function. Likewise they harmonize with the rules of the New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges.
 "Econcmists have referred to the proposed cotton futures market as the most important marketing development here in years. There can be no doubt that it will serve high purpose. The principle of futures trading is univer. sally aproyedl Futures trading is of greatest service when board, liquid market is maintained. Prices then reg istered are based solely on supply ant demand.
 Tt is confidently believed that thu new facilities at Chicago will bring about a very liquid market of higt value to all directly or indirectly in terested in the cotton industry"

The tactics of the management of this vast enterprise have been repeatedly criticised by the writer. That a cor poration of such magnitude and en- trusted with the savings of so many thousands of families should issue financial statements barnboozling even to Wall street expert analysis, is amaz- ing. Such jugglery of figures usually portends something distinctly unpleas- ant. ASs s-e
 If the Ameriean Wooler company was justified in paying as much as 7.Nper cent zonaits-ecuAmon shares three months ago, the omission of the entire payment at this time is rightly regarded asstreat- ing stockholders, who include many of the companys own employees. with bru- tai harshness.S Surely, sound judgment would have counselled a reduction in the dividend three months ago. Con- ditions in the textile industry were then little different from what they are now. It is stfeh indicedtns that shake the public's faith in securities.

UNEXPECTED GAIN SHOWN BY STOCKS
 AFTER. DECLINES
Advance Due Chiefly To Short Covering By
 Nervous Bears
By EDWARD J. CONDLON Hessed Wire to Age-Herald)

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-with an un- expected fill up in the final half hour of business, on short covering by nerv- ous bears, the stock market rounded out it's initial session of the week with the first substantial gains in several sessions. The averages showed the int dustrials to be half a point net higher and the rails better than a quarter of a point. The total sales for the day fell far short of a million shares.
 American woolen furnished not lt- tie excitement by rallying three points from the low of the fovement at mid- day. This was the first visible sign of trepidation on the part of the bear contingent. We had been heralding last weeks break in woolen as the turning point of the market There was decided tendency on Monday to belitt1e politics as a market factor at this time.
 To segregate Road
 One of the most interesting develop ments in the railroad section of the market came after the close of business when directors of the Pittsburg and West Virginia made known their ap- proval of the proposal to segregate the roads subsidiary, the Pittsburg Termi- nal Coal company, with a view to con- solidating 1t with other properties in the Pittsburg district. Holders of 100 shades of the roads common stock will be given the privilege of purchas- ing 13 shares of Terminal Coal preferred and 26 shares of common for a total of $1 BOO. The total offering would amount to S0,000 common shares and 10000 preferred. This Is in line with the gos- sip which accompanied the recent rise in the carriers stock.
 The governments figures on the size of the cotton crop as of September l, announced at noon, so closely fitted in with the numerous private reports that the cotton market was not stimulated and the rush to take profits hurled prices down $5 bale, with the October option touching 23.55c The report of 59.3 per cent contrasted with the pre- vious bureau report of 64.9 as of Au- gust 16, which brought such protests at the time that it was predicted that the figures as of September 1 would have to be altered materially. The latest in- dicated yield of 12,787 ,000 compares with the actual crop last year of 1o,12s.0oo bales.
 Wheat indulged in a mild rally shortly before the close on fears of frost dam age in Canada. The Winnipeg market showed even wider fluctuations thah that that at Chicago. The visible supp ply of American wheat this week shows an increase of 4149,000 bushels, while corn showed a decrease of I'll, 900 in contrast with increases in the lesser grains. But these figures were about as expected in view of the exceptionally large primary receipts of the past few for single days cattble receipts with total of 66,799 head of cattle, best ing the previous record established a wear ago by 6.593 head

able trend in the silk industry is the development of the manufacture of ar- tificial silk, which many claim Is as good as real silk. .'i
 Efforts have been made to grow cof- fee in this country but as yet these at- tempts have not been very fruitful. It Is interesting to note here that during the year which ended June go, our cof- fee imports of 1,432, ,109,3 ,373 pounds, val ued at $20z, ,04S, ,301, were the heaviest on record. Two-thirds of this coffee came from Brazil.
 Other items which we buy extensive ly are newsprint paper. hides and raw wool. We produce a large amount of these commodities at home, however, and except for paper, could probably produce considerably more if dire neces- sity forced us to 1t. -t

T HE United States, is providing for

 lion and more people, is very nearly sufficient unto itself. But we are forced to lean rather heavily upon foreign sources for few commodities necessary to; our complex civilization. Our most significant demands upon oth- CT nations are noted in the chart above.
 For instance, we produce absolutely no crude rubber-that very important commodity, upon United States terri tory. We are entirely dependent upon other countries for rubber. The con- soling feature of this situation, however, lies in the fact that we have consider able to say concerning the rubber mar ket because we are the principal and almost the only heavy consumer of raw>rubber.
 Of silk ane sugar we import heavily, too. The above chart shows the growth in the value of our purchases of those two commodities since 1910-1914. We do raise sugar cane, however. and a notice

CHICAGO, Sept. s.-Wheat:. Weekly statistics of visible and exports were large figures, reflecting the heavy mer- chandising of cash wheat. American exports last week were more than dou- bles the figures of year ago and the visible increased more than 4,o0O, ,0OO against an increase of 1,641,000, year ago. Liverpool cables were higher. re- flecting unfavorable, crop, reports from Argetine, where it is still too dry. A report by way of Germany states Rus sia faces the worst famine in her his- tory. Trading mixtures was not active and although there was firm under tone, price changes were small, the net result being slight advance.
 Corn: Visible decreased compared with an increase in corresponding week last year. Cash corn firm and this is reflected in the firmness of the Sep tember delivery. There is a dispo- sition to await the government report to be issued tomorrow before taking any new position on the deferred deliveries. Crop reports indicate slow progress but little frost damage yet. It is a waiting weather market.-H. 6 B. Beer to J. F. Willingham G Go.

change and French francs have fallen sharply. A rather poor. record, 1t Is not? .
 But there are explanations and com pensations. a.q F1
 For example: Railway traffic has reached the highest volume~uf the year and promises to touch million freight cars weekly. The irop and steel indus try Is receiving mofe orders and in- creasing its operations.
 The important automobile industry, having worked off surplus stocks of cars, is taking on more men and counts upon more satisfactory conditions. The latest statistics show that building ac- tivfties during the last eight months ex- eeed even the corresponding record for last year, a. pleasant surprise.
 The coal Industry has worked itself into distinctly sounder position.
 The reaction in grain prices was to be expected following the spectacular tions are still satisfactory to growers. September promises to bring a larger measure of employment, with even the unhappy textile industry participating.
 The setback in, more speculative stocks has been of an all great economic significance. The advance has been very vigorous. What Wall street calls a healthy reaction waAs overdue. The recession in prices has, doubtless been caused by operations of professional speculators more than-by any change for the worse in business prospects, but there has been no such change. Bonds have sagged an average of fully a point, but the sligNt firmness in money, always to be looked for around this season, was enough to check the rise in this division df the security market.
 As for the drop in the principal Euro pean exchanges, 1t is of little moment in comparison with the, advance made toward the inauguration of peace and recovery in Europe.
 August's events in Europe have con- stituted perhaps the most important of all developments during the current year. September should bring still further encouragement. The writer's Investigations in Europe during recent weeks. revealed clearly that all parties are now sincerely anxious, not to raise opssrastlons, oers 1aaan; but to reafh workable
 The all-necessary German loan can be looked for. Thomas ". Lamont told me, before September ends Owen D. Young assured me very earnestly, that he was confident that the spirit being manifested alike by Germany, Britain and France would solve the whole rep- a<axiAAs ePHebfenas although 'le- sounded word of warning against expecting the enliheniurn to be reached overnfght.
 One episode greatly upset Wall street last week, namely, the stoppage of the per cent dividend on the common stock of the American Woolen com pany. When the last annual report appeared, Wall streets statisticians differed widely as to how much had been earned on this stock. the differ ences reached as much as 10 per cent.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Sept. S-The stock mar ket was again called upon to absorb liquidation sales. During the greater part of the session the selling was not very aggressive but 1t was very evident that on slight rallies the supply in- creased and the demand being limited recessions followed. How long this process will continue is the all-impor- tant point and the most difficult one to. answer. It Is made particularly diff ficult because the market Is no longer ruled solely by economic conditions. Financially the country was never in a sounder position. A radical victory will mean slowing down of business and a bear market, and until we are sure of the outcome, we prefer to Tighten hold igs on the bulges.--John F. Clark 6 Go.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-After a morn- ing featured by nervousness and ir- regularity stock prices in today's mar ket rallied briskly toward the close. Considerable ground was regained by most of the active stocks and closing levels were for the most part near the highs for the day. Coco Cola, after selling down to 69, a loss of points in addition to it's quarterly dividend, came back to TIA. The closing tone was fairly strong.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn Ss Virgin.
