FUTURE COTTON
TRADE ACTIVE

NEW YORK, Oct. IS dN.SJ.
Cotton futures sold off sharply in
active trading today, as the dis
tressing report of a particularly
bearish ginning report influenced
declines which ranged as high as
81 a bale at the noon hour.
The. reactionary tone of the
stock market also influenced sell
ing which was particularly heavy
from the South, Wall Street and
professional traders and co-opera-
tive brokers. Commission houses
said the near months, with offer
ings in fair volume also coming
in from Liverpool and the con-
tinent.
A considerable part Of the short
interest which had sold promptly
on publication of the ginning re-
port made profit-taking purchases
later in the day. Spinners bought
a scale down basis with Japanese
mills also calling for some part
of the staple.
At midday December was quoted
at $50 off 16 points; January
was off 10 at 6.7S; March off 18
at 6.93, May off 10 at 7.12, and
July off IS at 7.31.

JAPS GET MORE
j, 8. COTTON

American cotton fields are Of
fering increased competition to
Japan's heaven worm," accord
ing to current reports at the Com
merce Department which show
that Japan has displaced Ger
many as the leading importer of
the fluffy American fiber.
During the first six months of
1881 Nippon's imports Of raw
cotton from the United States
exceeded by 1882 bales our ship
merits to Germany.
Lower cost of American cotton
and the stability of the japanese
textile industry, the department
explained, are chief causes of the
increased imports to Japan.
From 1928 to 1890, inclusive,
Germany was the best foreign
market for U. S. raw cotton. In
1928 it shipped from our shores
2,037 ,872 bales; in 1929, 1,652,22O,
and in 1890. 1928 bales. The
values of these shipments were
$217,891 900, $169. .457,00O and
$123,O17, 900 respectively.
In the first six months of 1881
raw cotton exports to Germany
aggregated 539,687 bales valued
at $3O,842.00O while Japan pur-
chased 672,152 bales valued at
$37, 7,150,OO0. In the first half of
last year Germany took 523, 3,055
bales worth $48,412,OOO.

IN JOBS
Is REPORTED

With the exception of the cloth
ing and silk industries, employ
ment in September generally de,
clined from August, the Federal
Reserve. Board said yesterday in
it's monthly analysis Of business
conditions.
Industrial production, as meas
ured by a seasonally adjusted
index, declined from 79 per cent
of the 1923-1925 average in Au
gust to 76 per cent in September
The statement said:
Industrial production and fac
tory employment, which usually
increase at this season, showed
little change from August to
September, and consequently
the boards indexes declined.
The general level of whole
sale prices also declined.
Gold exports and earmark-
ings, together with an increase
in domestic currency demand
between the middle Of Septem-
ber and the middle of October,
resulted in a large growth of
Reserve Bank credit in use and
a rise in money rates."

FOREIGN LOANS
At LOW MARK

Only $25,5O2, 900 was loaned

capital issues during the third
quarter of 1881, with Canada and
Porto Rico the only borrowers.
the Commerce Department an
nounced yesterday.
This was the lowest three
months lending in IL years.
For the first nine months Of
the year total issues amounted
to 1926, ,943, 500, of which $780,.
643,500 went to Canada, $7S,-
100000 to Europe, $4,000, 900 to
the Far East and $5,500,000 to
United States territories and pos
sessions.
In the third quarter Canada
took $25,002, 900. Two of these
issues were 10 and 20-year bonds
of the Province Of Manitoba.
The largest amount of publicly
floated foreign issues in any year
was $1,577 ,414,260 in 1927, when
there were 265 different flota-

In the wind, then stocks have
considerably further to 60 in the
direction Of higher levels before
encountering definite resistance.
Even the chartist group has
veered to the constructive angle.
Some RecessiOns Possible
They point out that in pene-
trating the recent top on the
recovery move at 100 SO, as meas
ured by the Dow-Jones industrial
averages, the market has given
the cue that it is headed higher.
The next resistance point is
placed at the 117-120 level, which
would be equal to q gain of
roughly 3 points in the general
run of trading leaders.
This does not necessarily mean
that stocks will promptly head
up to this level.
Onnitting from consideration

series of conferences between
President Hoover and Premier

COLD RESERVES,
ANALYZED BY
+" HANEY
Position Still Strong, Says
Economist, But Is Within
Five Points Of Danger Line
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University
Bureau az Business Research


What is the general condition
of our Reserve Bank system?
Being on a gold basis, we first
consider our gold supply and its
relation to Reserve Bank liahili-
ties. We find that the position
of the banks in this respect con-
tinues strong, though less strong
than formerly.
Reserve Decreasing
We lost more gold during the
past week, and the gold reserves
decreased by $4,000, 900. This
was due partly to exports and
"earmarking" for fore IN &C.
count, and partly to some fur.
ther boarding IN this country.
Neither of these drains on our
gold was as large as formerly,
but the amount of money in
circulation" increased $31, 900, 900.
This increase is supposed to rep
resent in large part the hoard.
ing of money by the peole in
this country.
Issue More Notes
To make up the supply Of
money for actual circulation, the
Reserve Banks have continued to
issue more notes. These bank
notes in actual circulation now
exceed $2,383, 100000. That is
an increase of $62, 100000 last
week, and the total is q whole
billion dollars larger than
year ago.
At the same time, the member
banks have increased their bor-
rowing from the Reserve Banks.
One result is that the deposits
made by the member banks with
the Reserve Banks have in
creased. That means a further
extension of Reserve credit. It
means an increase in the Re.
serve Bank liabilities against
their gold reserve.
Danger Line Nears
Since note issues and deposits
are up, while gold reserves are
down, the Federal Reserve ratio"
has fallen. For the first time
since 1921, it is below so per
cent.
This is nothing to be alarmed
about. The ratio fell to nearly
40 per cent in 1920. But it Is
getting interesting.
figure, roughly, that when
the Reserve ratio gets below IS
per cent it is getting too low for
real safety and probably indicates
a considerable strain on reserve
credit.

Little Change Noted
In Production Jobs

Industrial production and fac
tory employment showed little
change from August to September
in contrast to the usual seasonal
upturn, the Federal Reserve bull
letin said yesterday.
A slight decline was noted in
the level of wholesale prices while
the export of gold showed a de-
cided upward trend.
The growth in the demands for
currency, noted during September,
slowed down during the first few
days of october, the bulletin said.
A decrease in deposits was noted
at the member banks in leading
cities.
