COTTON GOES HIGHER
FROM II TO is POINTS
Contracts Become Scarce After
Overnight Selling Orders
Are Absorbed.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, August 15-Cotton was
higher today on trade buying and week
end covering
December contracts advanced from
7.2l TO 7,46 and closed at 7.37. having
reacted to 10 points from the best
under realizing in the late trading. The
final tone of the market was barely
steady, although last prices showed net
advances of II to 16 points.
The opening was steady 4 points
lower to a point higher. There seemed
to be some overnight selling orders in
the market here which offset the i'm
mediate effect Of relatively steady Liver
pool cables, but after these offerings
had been absorbed contracts became
comparatively scarce The absence of
greater activity on the selling side ap-
peaTed TO stimulate covering for over
the week end. while the steadiness of
the stock market operated in the same
direction. and there was a considerable
volume of business during the middle
of the morning. Active months sold 10
to % points net higher with October
advanced to 7.25 and March to TIT. but
buyers seemed to be pretty well sup
piled at these figures and closing quota
tons showed reactions under week end
realizing.
Nothing further was heard regarding
the progress of the tropical storm re-
ported south of Jamaica yesterday, and
there was comparatively little discus
sion OF the report Of the Census Bureau
showing domestic consumption of 45O,-
5ls bales for July, compared with 37e.-
02S for the same month last year. These
figures were little over expecta tons,
II anything, however, and there was
some bulllsh comment on reports that
the stocks in consuming establishments
which amounted to only s94. 979 bales
on July 81 compared with 1888, 007
last year.
Liverpool cables attributed the steadi-
ness in that market to covering and
trade calling in the absence of selling
pressure and said there was a better
inquiry for cotton cloths for the Brit
ish home trade and South American.
The amount of eotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end of the
week was estimated at a, 200 bales
against 1880 last year.

..Ass0ciated Press Flnanclal wrltsr.


NEW YORK.. August 15.-Led by
raisreaa issues, the bond market staged
an Irregular advance today.
Trading was as dull as might be ex-
pectsd on a Saturday in Midsummer
Sales on the New York Stock Exchange
totaIed S3.506 900 at par value, the low
est aggregate turnover for a short ses-
siolFs this year with the exception of
August s, when the total was SO. 1855 900.
Such activity as developed was spO-
radioaand no sales OF any sort were re-
ported in large number OF issues IN
allgroups.
rai1sobligations were not apparent but
thssEwere stimulated to some extent by
the advance in rail stocks. After the
recent decline in both rail bonds and
ShHfeS a recovery could occur at this
time for technical reasons alone. The
closing average for 10 leading railroad
tsSueswaS 951, a net gain of one-tenth
of a. point for the day. The average Of
80 rail, utility and industrial bonds
made an equal amount of appreciation,
indicating the narrowness of the bonds.

1867. Missouri Pacific series F SIS, New
Yorls central refunding IS of 2013 and

nation made irregular changes In quiet

peaads Brazilian and Chilean issues.

~ months. The drop has been ap-
proxiInately 30O. 900. 900 yards and has
reduced the aggregate stocks Of these
two types Of fahFFes to . little more
than 100. 900 600 yards, which Ia the
lowest since 1928.
The decline in stocks was largely due
to the fact that q large proportion Of
the cotton mills making these fabrics
have learned the BENEFITS that come
from stabilized production. Increased
demand was supplied out Of surplus
stocks. As an outcome. the industry as
. whole today Is IN the most satis-
joyed in years.
Two Factors Seen CauaGA
The one outstanding need now -
make the revival of cotton nanufacsur-
ing complete is Improvement In the
merchandising of the products Prices
so far have not responded to the i'm
provement in the statistical position
and are too low to leave q satisfactory
margin OF profit. The leaders In the
industry believe. however, that con-
tinued adherence to the constructive
policies that have brought about the
demand offer the industry its best hope
for q return OF profitable operations
and stabilized employment.
The marked improvement In the cot
ton manufacturing business Is due pri-
martly to two factors. One is the ma
terial growth In demand for cotton
wearing apparel; the other is the cor
rection Of what had become q chronic
condition of oyerproduction and UNDER
employment. That is to say. while
spinnerS have been reducing their out
put to bring 1t into better balance with
demand, consumers at the same time
have been demanding larger quantities
Of goods. The one development has
been brought about by reforms in oper-
ating schedules, while the other has
been due to increased popular taste for
cotton goods

COTTON TEXTILES
APPEAR PARADOX
Improvement Follows Eight
Years of Unsatisfactory
Conditions.
BY BRADLEY W. Trent.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, August IS - FsInda-
mental improvement in the cotton tex
tile industry after eight unsa satisfactory
years Of frequent overproduction and
irregular employment, simultaneously
with intensified depression In other
major industries Of the country, has
been one of the apparent paradoxes Of
business during the current year.
During q period when contraction OF
production and sales have been charae-
teristic OF most lines OF industry, sew
eral important branches of the cotton
textile industry have enjoyed expand
ing sales and stable production. While
surplus stocks of manufactured goods
have constituted one Of the funda-
mental problems Of others. the cotton
manufacturer has succeeded in reduc-
ing his stocks to normal proportions.
He is no longer handicapped with
enormous accumulation of goods.
Sales Show Increase.
Concrete figures of sales of cotton
goods are Illuminating as showing how
extraordinary this year has been In the
trade. Sales Of print cloths, o medium
weight cotton fabric, during the FIRST
six months of the current year, regis
tered an increase OF 80 per cent over
sales in the first half of last year.
About 80 per cent of the print cloth
production of the United States is
manufactured in the South An almost
equally large increase, or about 80 per
cent in sales OF fine cotton goods, took
place during the same period. Fine
goods are about IS per cent q product
of Northern cotton mills.
An amazing decline In surplus stocks
of both print cloth and fine cotton
goods has taken place during the last

ALLOY TO END GAS
ON ELECTRIC LINES
Savings OF Millions Foreseen
for Transformers Free
of Oxygen in Metal.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, May 27.-An inven-
ton to take the gas out Of alternating
current electric lines was announces
yesterday by the Westinghouse Electric
& Manufacturing Co. Savings Of NIL
lions of dollars annually in lost power
we're predicted.
The gas is in minute particles. most
~ OF oxygen In the solid magnetic
metal Of the transformers which hang
on street poles everywhere. This eAs
acts like sand in gear box, heating
the transformers and wasting power
It Is credited with large share in the
present average loss of IS per cent Of
transformer power
The invention is hypernik. an alloy
about half nickel and half iron, very
nearly free from both the gaseous and
ether impurities which put brakes
on the now Of electric juice. The an.
nouncement says that this alloy, dis
covered eight years ago, now has been
perfected for commercial use in trans.
formers The inventor Is Dr.. TfyRve
d. Yensen, research engineer.
He gets rid Of the oxygen and other
impurities in the alloy by baking Il
for many hours at about 1000 degrees
Fahrenheit in an oven whose Natmos-
phere is pure hydrogen. This heating
process is called annealing.
The present transformer loss Is prin-
cipally due to hysteresis, which means
laziness in performance of about the
fastest and most perfect military drill
which science yet has discovered among
the atoms. This drill Is a complete
half turn 100 times a second credited
to every electron In the magnetic metal
OF the Transformers The announces.
ment says these electron particles are
so small that 1t would require 100, 900 900
OF them to measure q fourth Of an
inch
With each of the go alterations Of
current a second, the masnetized parti-
Giles are thought TO turn first toward
one pole Of their magnet and then
toward the opposite pole Each turn
requires slight fraction Of time and
power and the gas particles increase
this lag. The result Is called the
hysteresis loss.
The announcement says that in the
10000, 900 transformers in use In the
United States this less, due mainly to
hysteresis. costs many millions Of dol.
lars annually and that hypernik can
save about one-half Of IL.
