COTTON Is STEADY
ON HIGHER START
Buying Influenced by Standard

NEW YORK, october 0-Cotton

Liverpool cables and the possibility that
constructive developments might grow
out Of the meeting of the cotton trade
called for on Monday in New Orleans
to discuss measures for stabilizing the
market.
There was very little Southern sell
ing, but the advance met some realiz-
ing around 1914 for the new December
and 1914 for March. This checked
the upturn, but prices held steady and
within a point or two fthe best at
the end of the first half hour. The
standard cloth statistics for September
showed a decrease of ia per cent in
stocks of cotton cloths on hand and an
increase of 26.1 per cent in untitled
orders.
Liverpool cables reported continental
buying in that market, but said that
business In cotton goods was slow in
developing as buyings were cautious.

SUGAR MARKET.

NEW YORK, October 9 R).-There
was a further advance in raw sugar
today, although the demand was less
active, with operators the only buyers.
Prices were points higher with sales
confirmed of $4,000 bags of Cuban for
october shipment at 1926 and 10000
bags for second half October at 1926,
both to operators.
Raw futures opened unchanged to
5 points higher and continued to ad-
vance until net gains of 10 to IL points
were recorded This upturn was due
to active covering and buying by houses
with trade and Cuban connections, pro-
NOTED by reports from Cuba that Presi-
dent Machado had given his enthusi-
astic personal support to the proposed
plans for international cooperation for
the sterilization of sugar and that he
would do what he could to have the
necessary legislation passed in Congress-
These plans call for the segregation
of 1,500, 900 tons of Cuban sugar to be
disposed of in an orderly manner over
a period not to exceed five years. Of
ferings were comparatively light, but at
the extreme advance which carried
prices up to 1.31 for December, or 81
points above the recent low level, they
seemed to increase a little and set
backs of 3 to 4 points followed with
the list at midday net z to points
higher.
With the price of refined sugar to be
advanced from the present level of ABS
today to 4.45 at the opening tomorrow,
buyers of refined sugar were placing
orders more freely, probably promoted
by the continued steadiness of raws
and much better business was re-
ported

United States Steel shares had dropped

On the other hand cold weather In
Argentina, unfavorable for crop prog
ress, together with unlocked for upturns
in wheat prices at Liverpool. had con-
siderable tendency to lift the wheat
market here.
Opening 1s-cent OF to %-cent up,
Chicago wheat future deliveries huc-
tuated afterward at around yesterdays
finish. Corn started unchanged to IL
cent higher, reacted sharply, and then
recovered.
Keeping a sharp eye on the securities
market, wheat traders today found
themselves compelled also to maintain
alert watch of factors associated more
directly with grain and indicative that
cereals were down to a level where
selling promised little profit. A let-up
in domestic and Canadian receipts of
wheat attracted special notice in this
connection and so. too, did reports of
steady demand for -four. Under such
circumstances, offerings Of wheat future
deliveries lacked volume, and scattered
commission house buying led to frequent
small rallies in prices
Confirmation of large Russian ship
ments of wheat to other countries, A.
352,00 bushels for the week, acted,
however. as something of bearish In
huence at times. In contrast was the
fact that primary arrivals of domestic
wheat today totaled less than either
last week or year ago. Meanwhile
torrential rains we're reported in France,
as well as unseaSonably low tempera-
lures in Argentina. Oats followed
wheat and corn.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-Maybe
the idea viii not very readily be ac-
cepted that mighty few men have
done as much good in the world a.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook. whose plea
for conditional release from the fed
eral prison at Leavenworth was
among the 500 recently filed with
the United States penitentiary pa
role board.
For all that. that was just what
the doctors old shipmate. Capt.
Road AmundSen, said about him
the last time the captain was In this
country, shortly before he vanished
into the north In quest or the lost
Italia expedition, never again to be
heard from.
The hard boiled Scandinavian ex-
plorer ever took a long trip to Leav-
enworth to see his former comrade.
which was quite surprising in him.
for ordinarily Amundsen was not
enthusiastic in his friendships.
Amundsen and Cook we're buddies
on Captain Adrian de Gedlache's
ventura into the Antarctic in the
mid l390's-Cook as the party's sur
geon.
Their ship. the Eelgica, froze fast
In the ice pack
A terrible winter followed. There
was no wireless In those days. Nerves
frayed and snapped. Bosom COM
panlons fought with one another.
Supplies ran short. Scurvy attacked
the crew. Nearly all hands were
down together. j. looked more than
doubtful IL any OF the little COM
pany would live through the six
months night that covered them.
II was agreed that d.. Cook saved
the Belgica expedition practically
northumberland alone by his skill
as a physician; fully as much by his
unfailing cheerfulnesS and encour-
agement.
Once out OF danger. his fellow ex-
plorers gave ample credit to the doc
tor for his heroism. The Belgian
government decorated him for gall
lantgy. There was no fraud about il.
Others told the story for him.
To this minute il Is hard for most
folk who have known Or. Cook not
TO believe that he was self-deee.ved
by his north polar claims.

hagen from Greenland, and saw ex-
perienced explorers swallow his &C
count without question. Considering
his Belgica record. 1t sounded nat

incident came TO light al any rate.
And yet. in Copenhagen again
