Cotton Opens Steady At
 Advance in Price Level

New York, Sept. 10 P3--Cotton opened very steady at an advance of 9 to 13 points on renewal of the covering movement which developed yesterday and which seemed to find additional incentives in the steadi- ness of Liverpool and continued small volume of hedge selling from the south.
 Trade buying was again in evil dence and there was some comnis sion house demand on the advance which carried the market up to H. 10 for new October and 11.5S for March or about 13 to Is points net higher. There was a little more cot ton for sale at these figures appar ently, and there may have been some local selling on a belief that the rains reported in the south would benefit the crop. There was no aggressive pressure, however, and the market was steady within 2 or points of the highest at the end of the first half hour.
 Liverpool cables said that hedging and short selling in that market had been taken by continental and Bom- bay buying on the advance and re- ported an increased cloth inquiry from India.

RECOGNITION MOVE
 WILL BE DELAYED
State Department Waits to
 Watch New Regimes

Washington, Sept. 10 (UP)-State department officials today reiterated they must refuse to comment for the time being on the question of recognizing any of the new South American governments.
 The statement followed overtures from the new Argentine regime to the effect they would respect their international obligations and were planning to send a new ambassador to Washington as early as practi- cable.
 It was said in an authoritative quarter that each case concerning recognition would be dealt with upon it's individual merits.
 It was added that the United States government did not wish to have the impression given circula- ton that by delaying recognition it was taking an unfriendly attitude toward any of these governments, but it sincerely desired before rec ognizing any of the new regimes, to be absolutely convinced of their stability and assured that they will comply with the traditional princi- pies of international law.
 The present general unrest throughout South America was also considered likely to delay recognl- tion, it was asserted, because this tended to make the question Of the stability of any of the new govern ments more important tl.an ordi'- narily would be the case.
