COTTON HAS RALLY
AFTER EARLY DROP
Trade Buying or Covering on
Decline Steadies Market
and Boosts Prices.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE cot
ton market opened easy today at a
decline of Ia to 18 points, active
months showing net losses of about
20 to "a points in early trading under
a continuation of yesterdays selling
movement. This included further
liquidation of old accounts and con-
siderable Southern selling, but trade
buying and covering on the decline
Steadied the market and caused rallies
Of Is or Is points from the lowest by
the end of the first hour.
Early selling was promoted by
favorable weather reports and rela-
lively easy Liverpool cables, while
the disposition to take profits on
recent sales probably was increased
by the proximity Of a holiday and
reports of well maintained spot
basis in the South.
Private cables from Liverpool re.
ported hedging and Bombay selling
there and that stocks Of cotton yarns
were accumulating.
The market became firmer after the
early selling orders had been absorbed.
Local brokers reported an increased
trade demand, while there was con-
siderable covering in preparation for
the holiday tomorrow and prices were
firm, December advancing to 20.72
and March to 21.00 or IA to IL points
net higher. Offerings appeared to in.
crease somewhat at this level, but the
market was fairly steady within or
8 points of the best at midday. The
advance was accompanied by report
that holders of spot cotton in the
South were resisting declines, and that
the basis was being firmly maintained.

EVENING ACCOUNTS
OCCURS ON CURB
Trading of Pre- Holiday Char.
aCter-Some Long Hold
ings Liquidated.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 11.--Through-
out the session on the Curb Exchange
today trading was of pre-holiday
character. The usual evening up of
accounts involved a fair-siZed amount
of short covering following yester-
days shakeout along with liquidation
Of long holdings. The result was
confused movement of prices, with
most gains and losses confined to COM
paratively narrow limits.
Johns-M -Manville, one Of the prime
favorites when speculation for the
rise was at its height a month or so
ago, continued to receive banking
the previous final of 117as. Its
strength, however, was offset by a
drop of more than 4 points in Celaniz
common, another that has figured
prominently in the speculative opera
tionS.
Nothing definite so far has come to
hand concerning the rulnored consoli-
dation of Borden Co. with Reid Ice
Cream, but the action of the former
stock indicated there was some Spe-
cific reason for the increased volume
of the trading.
Universal Leaf Tobacco and w. T.
Grant reached new highs for the year,
but the improvement was confined to
small fractions. Deere common fiuc-
tuated erratically, changing hands at
201 for gain of points, only to drop
well below 200 later. Much of the re-
cent demand is said to have been
based on expectations that accumula-
tons on the preferred issues were
soon to be cleared up, thereby open.

TORONTO INTERESTS
 TAKE EXTENUATE

Control of the we'll known Extenuate Group, north of and adjoining the Sebakwe hold ings in the upper Salmon val ley, has been purchased by eastern financial interests headed by John P. Kendall & Go. of Toronto.
 The new control is said to have acquired it's position by purchasing the Grant Mahood intersts in the Extenuate com pany, although at figures re- liably stated to be consider ably jless than has been re- ported.
 B. w. w. McDougall, well known mining engineer ha, been appointed consulting en. gineer and will direct operat ions under the new manage ment.
 MT. McDougall, arrived from the south last week and is now on the property, where work has proceeded throughout tho winter uder the direction o Wm. Younkin.
 As reported earlier in the columns, development worl has been concentrated on tn, driving of a tunnel to cross cU a number of highly promising veins which yield excellen7 values on the surface. The vel, system is in line with an is believed to be on. the north ern extensions of the Premier ore zone.

WOCDBINE SHOWING
 UP BETTER DAILY

 Work on the Woodbine No. l tunnel is making excellent progress, according to late re- ports from that property. The face of the tunnel is in solid ore, which appears from in- creased naturalization to be gaining in value as greater depth is attained. The vein is said to be showing up better every day, although the cross vein of high grade which forms the chief objective had not been reached up to a day or two ago. As the latter vein has yielded high values on the surface, a sensational strike is not improbable when the Ore body is cut by the tunnel. AS reported earlier assays as high as $500 per ton have been ob- tained from this vein.
 A crew of nine men is now employed, a night shift having been added last week.

DUNWELL TO MAKE
 LARGE SHIPMENT

Dunwell concentrates approx imating 15O tons weight will leave this week on the ore steamer Mogul enroute to the shelter.
 Several team loads of concen- tfates have been coming down from the mine daily for some time past and has resulted in the pilingt up of a mass of crushed ore on the dock, the weight of which threatened serious damage to the struct- ure and necessitated a shift ing of the burden.
 Reports from the mine indi- cate that the new concentrator is working at capacity and op- crates splendidly. The concen- trates are said to run from 16 to IS ounces in gold.

LADYSMITH SHELTER
 TO REOPEN

A development of wide i'm portance to the mining indus try in British Columbia and Alaska, is presaged in the an- nouncement from Vancouver that the Ladysmith Smelling Company, owner of the Lady smith smelter, has been fully financed by London capital and will be equipped for the treatment of silver-lead and silver-zinc ores and will prob ably operate on a customs basis. Of possibly greater importance is a further an- nouncement that an explorat- ion company is being organiz- ed in connection with the smelter project to take over and develop mineral proper ties as a source of ore supply for the smelter. This company will also be prepared to assist prospectors and owners of promising properties to devel- op their holdings to the point of production, in considerat- ion of receiving the ores.
 The successful financing of the smelter enterprise is due to the efforts of Messrs. Her bert Carmichael, former pro- vincial assayer for British Columbia, and H: B. Thomson, of Victoria. MT. Carmichael, who is general manager of the company, conceived the idea of adapting the shelter, form erly operated by the Tyee Cop per Go. for smelting the cop per ores of the Tyee mine on Vancouver Islad, for the treat ment of silver-lead-zinc ores, and the two men have been working on the project for an extended period. The smeltel was successfully operated by the Tyee company until the mine became exhausted and was later operated as a copper custom plant by the company and others but failed to pay as such and operations were dis continued some years ago.
