was 61 per cent less than the average gross income of 1919 when 30 per cent was left for net income.
 On farms owned by operators, the rate of return upon capital invested was 1.5 per cent last year, while the rate of interest on mortgage and other indebtedness averaged 6.S per cent.
 These facts are not quoted for the purpose of illustrating the sorry plight of farmers in recent years, howeve.. but rather to show how great are the possibilities of improvement this year. The total national farm income will in 1924 be from five to ten per cent greater than 1t was last year. Mean while, expenses are fairly stable. This betokens promise that the average farmers net income during the coming months will be appreciably larger, not to an entirely satisfactory extent but to a degree that will relieve him of considerable financial embarrassment with promise of even greater improve ment as time passes.

COTTON MARKET
 HOLDS INTEREST
 OVER SECURITIES
Weekly Business Reviews
 Unanimous In Reports , Of Progress
ny EDwARD T. OoNDLON

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Stocks in the Friday session suffered somewhat from the indecision of traders following the setbacks sustained in the preceding ses- sion. Relaxation was never very pro nounced in either railroad or industrial shares. However, several new highs on the movement and for the year were in evidence, with merger rumors and talk of increased dividends in certain groups adding zest to trading.
 The cotton market was far more inter esting at times than the stock market. Prices closed $7.50 to $10 bale higher for the day, with final quotations within g few points of the highs. Fears of much colder temperatures in the north ern portion of the belt started a cover ing movement which was supplemented by fresh speculative buying with the net result that there was a run-in of shorts, In addition, reports from the mill cen- ters indicated a great improvement in sales for the week. Fall River print cloth sales for the week were estimated at 75000 to 100000 pieces as against 15,- 900 to 3O,000 during the last few weeks.
 Progress Reported
 The weekly reviews of business are unanimous in describing conditions as showing substantial progress, though it was pointed out that the advancing sea- son is finding an irregular front in the different trades. There are lower prices in the steel trade as buyers await the outcome of the abandonment of the "Pittsburg plus" system in passing prices. Improvement in cotton prices and the gains in grain prices, with the exception of corn, as compared with 8 week ago, together with gains in dry goods and the better market for hides, are easily the strongest points in the situation.
 Failures Increase
 Dun's Review records of the fail ures for the week as 337, an increase of 46 over last week, but 19 less than a year ago. The west and Pacific coast appeared to suffer most. Of the weeks defaults, 194 had liabilities of 5000 or more in each case, or 57.6 per cent of the total as compared with the ratio of 53.1 per cent a year ago.
 Bradstreet's Journal reports bank clearings in the United States for the week ending September 25, as $S,143, ,040,- 900 against $S,652, ,372,000 last week and $7.062 900 during the corresponding period last year. Canadian clearings for the week are placed at $276, ,004, ,000 against $23s, ,000 last week and $236,- 4S3, GOO year ago.
 An interesting slant on retail meat prices may be obtained from a survey of market conditions by an official of the New York Meat Council, who found that wholesale and retail prices for all cuts of spring lamb are cheaper this week than at any time during the last six months. Retail prices covering nine cents per pound less than last week.

v. s. CROP REPORT
 IS BUYING SIGNAL
Urgent Buying Of Shorts Sends
 Cotton Upward

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The govern ment's crop report of last Tuesday plac- ing the condition at 55.4 and the indi- cated yield at 12,596,o0o bales, proved the signal for a general buying move ment in the cotton market. These crop figures did not represent falling off of more than 100000 bales in yield pros poets as compared with the end-August reports, but they were evidently below expectations and the action of prices suggested that crop views of l3,OOO,OOQ bales or over were being a0andoned. Many traders, indeed raised question
 as to whether the crop would not fall considerably short of the 12,50o,0 900 bales. This change of opinion as to the supply
 outlook seemed to come at a time when the market had been oversold in ex-
 pectation of further declines under the
 weight of the early movement.
 Shorts were urgent buyers on the advance and a good deal of trade buy ing also was reported with the price of December contracts selling up to 2490c today compared with 21.34c, the low point last Tuesday morning and 21.17c. the low level reached during the middle of the month. Naturally there was | good deal of realizing after this recoy- cry of more than 34 cents per pound | from recent low levels, but the tone of the market was sustained by predic- tions of colder weather in the southwest and continued rains in the eastern belt. So far none of the private year-end l September reports but current opinion | would indicate that the market ex- poets them to show a further scaling
 down of crop figures, particularly in eastern best sections, where further
 rains have been reported. The ad- | vance on the change in crop ideas has
 been promoted by reports of better
 business in the goods market. Sales in the Fall River market for, the week
 were estimated at about 75,000 pieces, or the largest in some time, and there also
 have been reports of a good trade In
 Manchester. October contracts have been relatively firm on the advance.
 So far only 12 notices of intended de-
 livery on October have been issued
 and it is rumored that trade interests
 are holding October contracts with a
 view to attracting cotton here from the
 south as a protection for short hedges
 in later deliveries At one time during | the week, October sold about 100 points
 over December compared with a recent difference of less than 50 points.

SUGAR MARKEr

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-No changes occurred in the raw sugar market today. Cuban remaining at 6.03c duty paid. No sales were reported.
 Raw sugar futures were irregular near months ruling higher on covering and trade buying, influenced by the firmness of the spot market. Later, de- liVeries were lower under European hedge selling. The close was points higher to l net lower. December closed, 4.0Sc; March, S.3Sc; May, 3.42c; July 3.52c.
 Refined sugar was unchanged to 10 points higher; list quotations now rang ing from 7.15 to 7.5Oc for fine gran. ulated. Continued good inquiry was reported.
 Refined futures were nominal.
