STRONGERT TONE
IS SHOWN BY
COTTON

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 U.N.S0.
A stronger tone was in evidence
in the cotton ring today and q
large amount Of buying entered
the market halted the drastic
declines of the past week or so.
A substantial accumulation Of
buying orders for domestic and
foreign trade, extending over the
entire list, was combined with
purchases from Liverpool in the
early trading, and this more
than offset a continuation Of
hedge sales.
Spot Sales Encouraging
Some encouragement was de.
rived from spot figures showing
the volume Of business in the
southern markets last week was
very large. Ten markets reported
sales Of 244,000 bales, against
$4,000 the previous week and
225,O00 a year ago.
Domestic mill buying was Of
considerable proportions. There
has been heavy buying Of cotton
through the South during the
week by cooperative and spot in,
terests, and the hedging in the
contract markets has been largely
against such cotton.
Aside from shower at Little
Rock, there was practically no
rain over Saturday and Sunday
in the cotton belt, but showers
were predicted for the Eastern
and Western belts and rains in
the Central belt.
Mill Trade Light
The New York cotton exchange
advised that sales of cotton
cloth by domestic mills tapered
off during the past week as the
raw material declined and were
the 1ightest in several weeks,
probably totaling somewhat less
than the current output. This
was true both Of unfinished and
finished goods.
Midday quotations were I'D
rs to % points. October was
up % at 6.93, December I'D 2S
at 7.O8, January up Is at 7.13,
March up % at 7.23, May up az

TESTING PERIOD
IS SEEN FOR
MARKET
BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, Sept. 10 0N.S0.
The market is still going through
a testing period as the new week
opens.
There is a strong belief in some
quarters that base is being
formed for another advance. This
may not take place right away,
though. and the market may go
lower in the meantime.
Technical Support
Technically, stocks are finding
support around the lows Of the
current decline. This is favor
able. The rails still hold the
immediate fate OF the market.
AS important, however, are
commodities. In fact, they mean
much more, for they represent
fundamental purchasing power.
Cotton has been diSheartening,
but good scale buying has been
going on. Wheat has been show
ing more sterilization and the
grain picture is slowly changing
for the better.
Informed quarters say that big
eastern banking interests like
wheat at current levels and will
support it on a scale down on
any further decline. The support
point is still around So cents a

Case Accumulated

scale accumulation is reported in

thin situations and could easily

his sponsoring of the so-called Fair
Dealing Produce measure, protecting
shippers from INSCRIPTIONS commission
men; his efforts in furthering farm

a standing in the House which won
for him the appointment to the pow

first congressman from the state of
Washington ever to have been appoint

sion of the belief that the experience

Water Level in River
About at Standstill

The cooler weather of the past week
has slowed down the annual rise of
water in the Columbia river, the read
ing of the gauge at the Coyote pump
ing plant being the same this, Thurs
day, morning as on Wednesday morn
ing. The gauge shows the level of the
river this morning as 5224 feet as
against 5186 feet on May IL, or a
gain of 38 feet in the two weeks and
approximately a rise of II feet since
May Z.
Not a great deal of drift wood has
been running in the river so far, but
if the weather should turn warmer and
the river rise another two feet, those
who gather their winter fuel supply
from this source expect to make quite
a harvest.
