NEW YORK, Oct. IA G.N.S).
The New York cotton market
showed a steady tone in active
dealings today, with the various
options showing little change
from levels existent at yesterdays
close.
A feature of the early trading
was the purchase of 10000 bales
of December cotton by a large
spot firm, presumably to fix
prices on call cotton. Hedge
sales were moderate in volume,
but to this form of selling was
added some heavy liquidation by
Wall street and professional trad
ers. Liverpool and the Conti-
nent were good buyers. with
short covering and scattered buy
ing by the trade in evidence.
At midday, December was up 3
at 6.28, January up / at $40,
March up 3 at $50, May up 4 at
$40, and July up 2 at 6.97.

PROBE PULLMAN
BERTH CHARGE

The Interstate Commerce Com

20 per cent of the lower berth fare
to be applied when an extra pas
senger occupies an upper or lower
berth or section Of a sleeping car,
between points in the United
States.
At present no charge is made

being necessary that the latter be
provided with proper railroad
TRANSPORTATION when occupying a
berth with the first passenger,
who holds both railroad and Sleep

The railroads on which the
Pullman Co. proposed to estab-
lish the charge are the Canadian

NEXT FEW DAYS
To TEST OUT
MARKET
Must Receive Bull Support
Around 96 Level or Face
Prospect of New Bottom
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-The
stock market will find itself in a
rather critical testing zone for
the next day or two.
Yesterdays reaction, while not
entirely surprise, proved sufti.
cient to upset the carefully laid
plans of bullish traders who had
not expected to encounter i'm
portant resistance until ma.
terially higher levels were
reached.
Still Some Leeway
Regarding this setback as the
normal secondary reaction fol
lowing the prolonged price ad-
vance of the past week, there is
still further leeway on the down.
side before the constructive atti'
tude Of close market students is
changed.
Thus, as measured by the
DowJoneS industrial averages.
the list should receive support
around the 96 level. Last week
the closing figure of this group
stood at 105.61. Yesterdays re,
cesSion carried it down to 1914.
Therefore, it is highly important
that the bullish contingent repel
the challenge Of beariSh profeS-
sionals before much more ground
is given.
Short Curb PuzZling
However, under the present re-
strictions against short selling
the list has become more and
more vulnerable to offerings, s.nce
covering by shorts, which IS usu-
ally evidenced on any price set
back is largely absent in the
current market.
Renewed unsettlement in the
bond market should be regarded
as a temporary danger signal.

Bell System Earns More
Than Dividend Needs

During the first nine months of
this year the Bell System had a
net loss of about 2O7,50O tele-
phones, or one and one-third
per cent of those in service at the
beginning of the year. For Sep
tember, however, there was a net
gain of 12,500 telephones and the
usual seasonal increase in long
distance calls.
Special sales effort is being made
with the view of improving growth
in the number of telephones and
increasing the use Of toll and long
distance service, Walter S. Gift
ford, president, reports.
The total operating revenues,
The Washington times., 1931-10-14

for the Bell System for the nine
months were 1.9 per cent below
those for the same period last
year. Total operating expenses,
including depreciation and taxes,
were 2.8 per cent below those for
the corresponding period in 1880.
For the nine months the earn
ings Of the company, as shown
by the income statement made
public today, have exceeded divi-
dendS by $6,8OO,O0O. In addition,
the company's net equity in the
undistributed earnings of its sub
sidiary companies, including the
Western Electric Company, for
the period was approximately
$3,5OO,OOO.

CAUTION
ADVISED BY
HANEY
Times Uncertain, Economist
Says, in Urging Investors
To Trade WariIy in Stocks
BY LEWIS HANEY

Director, NetU York University
Bureau of Business Research
From the middle of September
to october S, the stock market
saw one of the most drastic peri
DDS of real liquidation ever wit.
messed. There was no "bear raid
ing" Investors were selling out.
So the averages, after breaking
through the lowest level reached
in 1925, closely approached the
l923-24 bottom. Bonds fell to
1922 levels.
Support Smashed
On october 3 and S, the market
crashed through support buying
that was attempted. Evidently
this marked a final abandonment
of hopes to recoup the paper
losses on new era" holdings.
But by last Tuesday the market
had become badly oversold.
Brokers loans had fallen much
more sharply than stock prices,
which is almost always an indica-
ton of technical strength.
This condition, and hopes of in
flationary developments from the
bank pool, brought sharp re-
bound. On Saturday an average
of 100 stocks closed 4.7 points
above the close of the preceding
week, and bonds recove cred
smartly.
Then came yesterdays reaction.
Times Uncertain
These are highly uncertain
times. Schemes and plans are
coming thick and fast, and make
forecasting almost impossible.
I think there is a good deal to
be said in favor of placing stop
loss orders to protect any positions
held during the next day or two,
and to figure on getting out as
soon as it becomes evident that
the market is making no further
progress.
