RAILROAD SHARES
 CLIMB UPWARD
Strength Shown By Many Other Issues o Stock
 Market
By EDWARD J. CONDLON (By Leased Wire to Age-HeraldD

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.--The financial markets gave a better account of of strength appeared in the stock mar themselves Tuesday when many points ket on the heels of the selling move ment in the previous session. Both railroads and industrial shares moved forward though at times during the earlier part of the session the under tone was not very steady. ysTfs
 One of the strongest points inythe sit- l uation was the easy tone in money. Call money again ruled at 2 per cent, and dispatches from Washington indi- cated that the treasury was not antici- pating any appreciable tightening in money conditions, it is pointed out that the financing of crop movements has proceeded smoothly. The demand for both call and time money continues very l light.
 The grain markets closed higher fol- | lowing cratic movements early in the session. Strength in corn in the later trading was ascribed to unfavorable weather reports. A fair export busi- ness was reported in wheat. Cotton ad- vanced about $2 bale on reports of increased working hours in the British cotton center, Manchester and the re- ports Of tropical storm in Florida. The storm scare proved a mild one but still the market did not recede. A pri- vate- crop report putting the yield as low as. 12,140,000 bales attained consid- erable attention. aN
 The bond market showed good strength almost from the stort. Liberty bonds were claimed in large blocks, particularly the treasury 4As, which attained a record high at 107. Foreign issues were rather non-committal prices held steady to firm. The demand for the new German Is Is becoming less and less urgent.
 | About the only feature in the foreign exchange market was the new 1924 highhigh for guilders. The Dutch rate has been very steady of late with the in creasing Dutch prosperity as a result of the recent steps toward improvement of international relations in Europe. It is argued that recovery in Germany will mean increased trade relations with Holland.
 l The September rail earnings have started to come in, with Kansas City Southern, Union Pacific and Chicago and Alton enjoying, the distinction of being the first to report. Some light is thrown upon the extent of the fall business revival by these roads fig ures, which were well ahead of the Au- gust gross and net figures. The net

HE dour views of many commenta-
 tors regarding current business activity, which are largely the re- suit of eunattained summer expectations, do not prevent steady march of prog ress. All obstacles blocking the road which leads to prosperity are not re- moved. Yet in a number of funda- mental directions, there is ample i'm dication that business is slowly but surely emerging into the sunlight of a more flourishing period. Several of the bars in the above chart, for instance, tell of improvement over year ago. Comparing September, this year with last-new securities are larger, build ing is more active, failures are fewer, freight traffic is heavy, chain store sales are voluminous. Such Q situation Is reflective Of confidence in the future and of a sounder financial structure of bushes.

COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Liverpool this morning was very steady with some lwhat larger volume of spot sales. Our market opened slightly higher but ad- Ivanced slowly when 1t became known that the Manchester Federation of Spin ners had resolved to go an, 32-houI la week schedule, beginning November 3. It is estimated that if continued for la year, this would mean an increased American consumption of about 100000 bales.
 To our mind; an increase in. consump- tion of this nature bearing out the ex. Ipectation of expanding trade is of more importance at this level than the crop lsituation. The local feeling is that this news will be offset by the government Iestimate on Saturday. Meantime, our trade buy slowly in quiet market and la certain amount of cotton passes out of sight each day.
 The gulf storm bids fair to disappear off the Florida coast without causing the rain which has been feared.
 Liverpool futures are due tomorrow; December, 1Sd; January, 1S.O6d.-Hub- bard Bros, 6 Co.
 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 21.-The un- dertone of the market was steadier4 to- day and values were somewhat higher lin consequence of more encouraging trade advices from abroad and because of less favorable weather prospects than \ of late. AEs. t.
 Numerous private crop reports were hssued, some construed bullish, others bearish, condition ranging from 53.4 to 55; indicated crop from 12,366,OO0 to 12,- S3S,0O
 Estimates on ginnings to october IS range from 7,140,000 to 100000 against {, ,5O9 O00 last year, when 65 per cent of the crop was ginned.
 By far the most impoI ant news of khe day was received from England, but Liverpool friends cabling spinners federation increases from November from 26h hours to S2 hours.
 The above cable means that British spinners using American cotton will ip- crease their working hours 22 per cent affective November 8, and that con sumption of American cotton in Lan- cashire will Increase to that extent, 2z Der cent, on and after NoTember 8.
 On this side of the Atlantic, the feel ing is growing that the worst is over regards the long depression in the do- nestle cotton goods situation. In fact Improvement is already noted, and when the election is over, a general revival In trade is expected.
 In preparing for business expansion kbroad, Europe is commencing to import largely of American raw cotton.

 And if we go beyond the barometeric indications of the foregoing chart, here are just few developments worthy o9 note; grain prices hold at high levels railroad earnings are improving, tex tile mills are enlarging their operations the shoe and leather industry is more cheerful than it has been for months money conditions continue easy yet sound, the oil industry is in a more hopeful frame of mind, the nations foreign commerce is showing marked expansion.
 All this does not mean that the horizon Is one huge rainbow. There are pitfalls to be avoided. Because there are, better far a cautious progress than tests the ground ahead than a blind surge into uncharted regions which may abound in quicksand.
