NEW YORK. September 2f-The
cotton market opened firm today at
an advance of II to 26 points on buy
ing promoted by relatively firm Liver.

position after the declines late yes.
terday.
Further Southern selling or liduida-
ton eased prices off several points
from the opening figures, but buying
continued and the undertone of the
market was steady. December sold
off from 20.66 to 20.50. but was hold
ing around 2061 at the end of the
first hour, when the general list was
about 10 to 90 points net higher.
Private cables reported trade calling,
covering and continental buying in
the Liverpool market, and said there
had been improved sales of cotton
cloths to India with Chinese advices
more encouraging.
The outlook for warmer weather in
the Western belt was considered
favorable and offerings increased.
December selling off to 2O.35 and
March to 20.60, or about to 7 points
net lower. Conflicting opinions were
expressed as to the showing of the
weekly report Of the Weather Bureau,
but as prices reached yesterdays
low levels, demand seemed to improve
somewhat and was said to include
trade buying. This steadied the
market. and by midday December had
rallied to 20.54 with the general list
showing net advances of about 9 to
10 points. A private crop report
issued this morning made the condi.

CORN VALUES SLUMP
HEAVILY IN TRADING:
Wheat Also Recedes in Dealings
at Chicago-0ats and Pro- =
visions Are Cheaper.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. September 2f.-With re-
ports at hand indicating that predicted
frost had turned out to be neither as
severe nor widespread as looked for,
corn values dropped sharply today.
General selling took place. and the
market fell 5% cents bushel in some.
cases. Opening at rs to 51a off, corn
continued extremely weak. Wheat.
oats and provisions also receded, what
starting rs to 2 cents lower and sub
sequently showing an additional de-
cline.
Aggressive speculative selling add
ed to excitement in the corn market
today, some trade leaders taking the
position that so far as quantity is
concerned the crop is made, and can
not be reduced by frost except to a,
relatively small extent. Doubt was
expressed that even a hard freeze
now would do more than to low
err quality. Under such circumstances.
increased selling on rallies was the
rule. and upturns n good deal of the
time were limited to about one-haf
cent
Wheat tended downgrade not only
on account of corn weakness. but also
as a result of decidedly lower Liver
pool quotations than were due. Fa-
vorable weather in Canada and in Ar
gentina was reported and buyers at
times were scarce with overnight de-
mand from Europe apparently at a
minimum.

ADVANCE SLOWER
ON CURB EXCHANGE
Bull Movements FREEDOM
inate-UtiIity Group
Attractive.
by WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.


Special Dispatch 70 The Star.
NEW YORK, September 21.-Opera-
tons for the rise were predominant
during the greater part of the session
on the Curb Exchange today. How
ever, the character of the buying was
noticeably different from that which
carried prices up sharply a week and
two weeks ago.
The speculative element was giving
more serious consideration to OUTSIDE
business developments and was not
disposed to bid prices up indiscriml-
natelv. 1t has been conceded that the
market at its present level had gone
n long way toward discounting the
prevailing ease in the credit situation
and the Industrial outlook for the re-
malnder of the year.
AS n group the public utilities were
considered attractive, because OF the
fact that they are the least affected
by changing business conditions.
American Gas & Electric, Electric
Bond & Share and United Gas q
Improvement were the leaders. Among
lower priced issues Electric Investors
and Lehigh Power came in Tor more
attention.
evidences OF itItWtu pun az ~
cropped out in issues which heretofore
have shared only in small way III
the upward movement Included
among these were Freshman Radio
and Warner Brothers Pictures. The
manner in which the Bancitaly shares
continued to move upward was an IN
dication of the scarcity of the float
ing supply. Banking interests
prominent in the affairs of the COM
pany are said to have been adding
to their holdings.
New high records were less numer-
Gus than on previous days, although
Curtis Publishing. Goodyear Tire
new preferred. New York Central new
and u. S Battery were bid up to their
best prices.
The demand for several pipe line
company issues was noteworthy. In
asmuch as they are not affected TO
the extent Of the producers and re-
finers by the heavy output Of domes-
tic crude, it was natural that they
should have been among the favorites
in the oil group. Indiana Pipe Line
rose points to it's best for the year
and Illinois Pipe was in better de-
mand.

Resc:-c Stout During Gale.

Drawing a gale, thirsty men sought
to capture 70 barrels of stout that had
floated from a foundered barge near
Dublin recently. Every available de.
vice for the rescue Of the liquor was
employed. BY use of drag hooks
attached to ropes nine containers were
captured in the choppy seas. Two of
the barrels were promptly tapped and
the liquid flowed into vessels of every
conceivable shape and description pro-
duced by the crowd which collected
from all parts of the district. Many
Of the escaping 81 barrels were cap
tured later at other points along the
coast.

MorroW's Appointment Has
Big Effect on Mexican List.
Speculative Rails Up.

Special Disnatch 10 The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, September 21-The
two features in today's bond market
were the strength in public utility is
sues following the success of the days
offering of Pacific Gas & Electric
41as, and the continued broad specu-
lation in Mexican Government bonds,
based on the appointment of Dwight
w. Morrow as Ambassador to Mexico.

offered at &C. and before the market
opened were 97ls bid. The success of

now selling at around 101A. Com
bined with the premium of 2% points
on the new Mobile & Ohio 412s this
has materially improved the invest
ment situation and made a strong
groundwork for future financing.
Morrow Announcement Factor.
Nothing that has occurred recently
has had such pronounced effect on
foreign bond prices as the Morrow
announcement. All of the differt mt
Mexican government issues were from
large fractions TO . points higher,
with the largest turnover in months
The appreciation in the group in the
past two days amounts to millions OF
dollars. For some time there has
been heavy liquidation in all these
bonds on the very discouraging out
look in the southern republic. A
short time ago they sold at the low
est prices of the year. The demon
stration in the past two days is a
high compliment to Mr.. Morrows
ability to develop a constructive eco
nomic and financial program in Mex
leo if his appointment is confirmed by
the Senate.
Other strong foreign bonds were
those of Finland. Serbia, Italy, Poland
and Japan, all at approximately
their high levels of the year.
Local traction issus improved on
better August earnings. An exception
was the Broadway and Seventh Ave

mark-up yesterday. American Cotton

it is problematical what action might

tati0n System Would Re-
suit From Merger

New York, Jan. 10--lP-Plans for
merging the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railways and their
subsidiaries into the worlds greatest
transportation syttSM have been an
nounced.
The plan, subject to approval by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
calls for leasing the main lines to an
operating company which also will
operate the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle railroad. The Chicago, Burl-
ington & Quincy, now controlled by
the stock, will continue as a separate
entity.
A joint statement by Ralph Budd,
president of the Great Northern, and
Charles Donnelly, president Of the
Northern Pacific, says single control
of the Burlington will be favorable
tc more decisive handling Of its de-
vclopment policies.
More Serviceable
"Steps that are now being studied"
said the statement, will further
to Il still greater degree commun-
ity interest which has long existed
between the two northern companies
and which began when they jointly
acquired control of the Burlington
over 25 years ago and was enlarged
when they built and acquired the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle system.
The two northern companies, being
thus permanently allied as to mile
age of more than $4,000 miles, will
very naturally seek to strengthen and
extend that community interest and
to make it more beneficial to their
stockholders and more scrviceablc to
the public"
The statement refereed to pro-
posal made to the Interstate Com
merce Commission as a basis for dis
cussion for separating the Great
Northern from the Northern Pacific
and grouping the Great Northern
with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul.
ION the other hand" the state
ment continued, "the Interstate Com
mercc Commission has sanctioned ex-
tcnsivc unifications by STOCK control
and lease. - 1t is this sort of a uni
fication w eh is now receiving study
by the two northern companies"
The statement adds that when
definite conclusions have been reach
ed, the northern companies will ex-
nlain tho situation IN the UnvarnorS
and state commissions of the states
through which the northern lines
operate.

The North Dakota house Tuesday
sent its first measure to the senate.
It was, House Bill 81 appropriating
$2.5OO to pay the premiums on the
bonds of state officials and was
passed without a dissenting vote.
Several other appropriation bills
were placed on the calendar, however,
and will be voted on today.
The house also adopted q resolution
asking the government to extend aid
to the Indians on the Standing Rock
reservation located in Sioux county,
North Dakota. and Carson county,
South Dakota.
The original resolution, ccuchcd in
strong language, alleged that the In
dians were starving and would be
unable to get through the winter
without help. An investigation by
the committee on federal affairs Of
which S. w. Thompson, Ramsey coun-
ty. is chairman, developed that the
reports were exaggerated and that
help was available if the Indians
would ask for it. The committee rec

Tuesday afternoon the resolution
was amended on motion Of J. H. Nc.

Of IS to 81.
As amended the resolution recites
the fact that poor crop was had by
the Indians this year and that unless
they are relieYed there will be severe
suffering and privstion before spring.
It asks that the government extend
the aid already asked by E. d. Moss
man, reservation superintendent, on
