NEW YORK, Sept. II G.N.SJ.
An irregular price movement
again was evident in the bond
market today.
While United States Govern
ments showed a slightly firmer
tone, there did not appear to be
any disposition on the part Of the
group to stage a vigorous rally
such as took place last week for
a time.
Treasury 3Hs of 1946, which
are being offered. in exchange for
the maturing Liberties, dropped
below parity today. Liberty 3RS,
though, were firm and higher,
while the Federal Farm Mortgage
and Home owners Loan liens
showed little change.
The domestic corporation and
railroad list continued unsettled.
Second grade and speculative
rails were irregular. In the high
and medium grade divisions there
was no clear-cut trend, as gains
and losses at the start just about
offset each other.
Foreign governments were quiet
and without feature.

CHICAGO GRAINS
TURN STRONG

CHICAGO, Sept. II G.N.S0.
Grains turned strong after a
mixed opening today on the
Board of Trade under scattered
commission house buying and lack
of pressure.
Corn and rye were outstanding
strong spots, gaining as much as
13s and 1B cents, respectively.
Near mid-session wheat was 3s
to "a of cent up, corn l to 13s
cents up, oats unchanged to u
cent up, and rye q to 17s cents up.
December wheat sold up to
$1.043s, and December corn at II
cents.

COTTON MIXED
AFTER STEADY
D T Yin 6

NEW YORK, Sept. II G.N.SO.
Considerable irregularity devel-
oped in the cotton ring today after
a steady opening, scattered offer
ings seeping into the market in
the wake Of initial weakness in
grains. Selling was directed at
the more distant months, which
dipped below previous closings,
while near options maintained a
point or so of the early upswing
Trading, however, was at no
time particularly impressive. A
small accumulation Of buying
orders was sufficient to bring
opening gains running to 4 points,
despite lower Liverpool cables,
while light offerings in subsequent
dealings were enough to gradually
white down values.
Wall Street Buys
Buying was attributed princi-
pally to Wall Street, commission
houses and the trade. Most Of
the offerings consisted of hedge
sales and scattered Southern and
New Orleans selling. Locals were
sellers of the distant positions.
Liverpool continued to undo strad-
dies by buying in the local market
and selling abroad.
The weekly cotton grade and
staple report issued by the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics showed
that so per cent of the cotton
ginned during the past week was
extra white, strict middling and
above, compared with 40 per cent
classed from the crop to date. APP
proXimately 80 per cent Of the
samples classed to date and dur
ing the past week was of white
grades, while 8 per cent was spot
ted.
Cotton Stores Dip
According to the New York Cot
ton Exchange Service, stock Of all
cottons in the United States at the
end of August, including estimated
unpicked portion Of the current
crop, was $4,000 bales below a
year ago, based on the last Gov
eminent crop report. Stock on
August 81 was 16,033,000 bales,
against 1885, 900 a year earlier.
Midday quotations were 3 points
higher to points lower. with
December up 3 at 1924, March
unchanged at 1921, May off at
1894, and July off 3 at 1895.

Shipments of anthracite for the
month of August, 1884, as report
ed to the Anthracite Institute,
amounted to 3,109,699 tons. This

721 net tons, or 4.56 per cent, but

portunity for community vocaliz-

have everyone who comes to the
theater join in the singing of the
carols. Slides have been obtained
of the words of the various songs
and these will be projected on the

ington's foremost organists, will
be at the console to accompany
the singers.
This same broadcast will be re-
peated next Friday, Saturday and

hour-11:30 to midnight.
Remember that these commun.
ity singings of carols are free of
