The early cables from Liverpool said
there had been active pre-bureau even
ing up in that market chiefly in the
shape OF covering. and that trade call
ing there had met hedging against
purchases of Egyptians on narrow diff
ferences. Houses with Liverpool, con-
tinental and Japanese connections
were reported among the early buy
ers here.
Traders evidently found nothing in
the textile strike news to stimulate
fresh ventures in advance of the Gov
ernment report, and paid very little
attention to the weather news. which
included reports of heavy rains along
the North Carolina coast, with pros
poets for clearing weather. in Eastern
and Central belt sections. The re-
port OF the Census Bureau showed

New York Cotton
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, September s.-Trad-
ing in cotton today was attributed
largely to evening up accounts in
preparation for the Government crop
report. which was issued right after
the close. Prices held generally steady
until near the close, when they re-
acted under liquidation, with Decem-
Der selling off from 1885 to 1927 and
closing at that figure. The general
market closed barely steady. net 2

The opening was steady at an ad-
vance OF 4 to ii points. and, although
there was some short selling, trade
buying absorbed the offerings on COM

there was very little Southern selling

Pressure increased toward the close.
however, and Southern selling in
creased. October declined from 1922
to 1914 and May from 1888 to 13.43,
and last prices were at or within a
point of the lowest for the day.
The Government report, placing the
indicated condition of the crop as of
September / at 53.8 and the indicated
total production at 9,252, 900 bales, was
about 100000 bales above the average
expectation of New York Cotton Ex-
change members, as revealed by the
canvass of last Thursday, and COM
pared with last months indication of
9,l95 900 bales.
AS trading here ended before the
report made its appearance, there was
no market reaction to the showing,
but the opinion was expressed by local
brokers that the increase in the esti-
mate might cause technical readjust-
ments when business was resumed
next week. Reports reaching the
trade here from Chicago said the mar
ket there had reopened at declines of
about Is to 80 points. The amount
of cotton on shipboard awaiting clear
ances at the end of the week was es-
timated at 49,476 bales against l0O,-

CONSUMERS HOLD OUT
FOR DECLINE IN STEEL
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 8.-Instead
of rushing to cover future needs in
expectation of higher prices, steel con-
sumers are holding out for lower
prices and living off their inventories
accumulated before the third quarter
price boost became effective, according
to steel observers.
Thus it seems the third quarter will
wind up without any rush of demand
for delivery of steel such as lifted
operations sharply toward the end of
1888 and the end of the second quar-
ter this year.
From present indications, this quar-
ter will go down on the records as
the quietest the steel industry has
seen since the first quarter of 1898,

AUBURNDAIE, Mass, September
8 up. - Commodity prices turned
downward during the week, thereby
breaking the upward trend which has
prevailed for six consecutive weeks.
The prevailing textile strike, one of
the worst the country has yet known.
has been instrumental In creating a
lower volume of business activity Out
OF IA individual groups, only in
creased during the past week. de-
clined and remained unchanged.
Industrial prices held at the same
level of the previous week as the few
increases were completely Offset by the
decreases. For example. higher prices
for hides and leather and fine textiles
were Offset by lower prices for building
materials, paint materials, non-fer-
rous metals, coarse textiles and Vege-
table oils.
Farm Prices Higher.
Agricultural prices moved slightly
upward during the last week. being
due principally to corn, oats, rye. cot
ton, beans and potatoes. The de-
creases which took place in this par
ticular group were noted in barley,
eggs. f1axSeed and butter.
Live stock prices registered the first
decline since late July, receipts ex-
ceeding by quite a substantial margin
the volume of a week ago. After a
most substantial increase for several
weeks, cattle, hogs and lambs all
turned downward while sheep prices
were slightly higher.
Building materials continue the
downward trend noted since the mid
die of July. The decreases during the
last week was due not only to lower
quotations for Southern pine, but also
to further decreases in the price of
lath and shingles.
Hides and leather showed a slight
turn upward during the week, due 10
u cent increase in the price of hides
and also upper leather.
Non-ferrous metals registered a
slight decline last week due to a FIVE
point decline in the price of lead, and
lower quotations for silver and zinc.
Tin prices increased slightly.
Fine Textiles Advance.
Fine textiles represent one of three
groups that advanced during the
week. the upturn being attributable to
higher levels for cotton and finished
goods. Cotton yarns and silk, how
ever, showed definite disposition to
decline.
Coarse textiles were substantially
lower. rejecting price weakness In
burlap.
Vegetable oils represent the sixth
group to decline. the drop caused by
cottonseed oil which more than off,
set price strength in China wood and
corn oil.
Most important price changes in

GAIN IN CARL 0ADINGS
FIRST EXPANSION SIGN
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September s.-The
sharp rise In carloadings the week
before Labor day, lifting the total TO q
new 1884 peak above $4,000 cars. is
the first definite hint Of seasonal ex-
pansion Wall Street has seen lately.
The advance in loadings was the re-
suit chiefly Of increases in loadings of
coal and miscellaneous freight, both of
which reflect seasonal tendencies.
lnasmuch as the seasonal peak in
freight movement usually is not
reached until about the middle of Oc-
tober, 1T was considered likely that
carloadings might reach a weekly fie-
ure around 100000 cars. That would
represent new high for the recov-
cry since freight loadings touched
their low points in the Summer of
1882.
