SO Fershing looks back over those
20 years. During and since the war
there have been many times when
his availability as a presidential

He recalled today that once IN

his army ready for battle. some one
said 70 him that his overseas as

Many q Soft Spot
And, to his great regret. 1t Is as
a cold. Unconditional martinez and
relentless disciplinarian-a military
machine-that too many OF the
men he led TO victory in France
looked upon him. He sensed that
many times and wished they could
have known him better.
For that Is not John Pershing
as I have known him all my life,r
the general said. turning on again
that happy smile. He Is quite "a
different fellow, with many a soft

some or the things he has had 10

sponsibility leaves little chance for
a field commander To show those

SO much In men we have to do with.

lRv thomson 3 McKinnonI

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Even
more significant than the increase
in dollars in our August foreign
trade is the fact that volume and
tonnage make relatively a better
showing. Then, too, it is gratifying
that our domestic buying power has
been better maintained than that
of foreign countries. In this respect
whether or not a reaction from the
recent Washington conference it is
important to note the report OF a
competent observer who authoritative
" stated that the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company has
actually begun to place orders for
future deliveries of raw materials.
While more in the nature Of a
rumor from another quarter it is re-
ported that General Motors has
placed the largest orders in several
months for steel. Some weight is
lent to this intimation, due to the
fact that Tuesday we had the state
ment that General Motors retail
motor and truck sales were running
better than earlier forecasts. The
lower weekly car loading figures are
difficult to interpret due to the in
terruption of the Labor day holiday.
Apparently the reports for the
succeeding week from several of the
individual railroads showing in
creases are a better guide. Criticism
continues to be heard over the in
tangible character of advices of
trade improvement. Our experience
teaches us that the stock market
seldom waits for the self-evident.
It is continually attempting to dis
count coming events.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17-Cottoa
was up 10 points again this morn~
ing. The weekly weather report dis
appointed the bears as it was not so
favorable as expected. Georgia rains
we're said to be too late to help the
crop. The holding movement has
become SO general that it hardly ex-
cites comment any more.
The farmer, backed by loans, IS
taking all the risk Of a decline. It
is too early to guess the final out
come. Innovations are sometimes
the marks Of progress. We hope it
proves true in this instance. Without
any outstanding development, gen.
eral textile news has a cheerful tone.
There are very few speculative
shorts in the market and some OF
them were buying cotton this morn
ing. 1t is not so easy to gauge tho
market, but according to old stand
ards, it is probably safe TO say this
technical position is not strong.

CHICAGO, Sept. II. - Wheat
prices held within relatively narrow
limits on the Board of Trade to-
day and fluctuated in an cratic
manner-reSponding quickly to
either buying or selling; and bring
ing prices at the close above pre-
vious closing levels.
There was a lackof aggressive short
covering toward the end of the seS-

was noticed here in an effort to
close spreads with Winnipeg.
Corn showed a firm undertone
throughout the afternoon, closing
higher. Oats showed fair strength
on the scattered buying during the
session and was fractionally higher
at the close.
Liverpool Gains
At the close wheat was UNCHANGED
to l cent higher; corn was 3 to la

Liverpool gained slightly after
the bearish Argentine report had
carried it lower after opening; and

buying after the morning dip. and
unchanged cash prices added to the
strength in that gain. Trade was

Corn had a stronger undertons
