the same quarter of 1888, a drop
of 80 per cent, according to ad-
vices to the New York Coffee u

The 1894 total is also about %

PRICES
FORCE AHEAD

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 G.N.sD.
Spurred by the government COT
ton forecast of 9,443,O00 bales as
of October /, which was under
general private estimates, the cot.
ton market today scared in the
broadest advance witnessed in
weeks.
Futures which had opened this
morning with losses of 4 to
points registered gains Of II to %
points over the previous close
when the market reopened at
11:15.
Buying came from scattered
sources and was augmented by
fairly heavy short covering, at
tributed to spot firms and pro-
fessionals. Wall Street, Far East
ern sources, the continent and
the trade were in the van Of the
buying move. The only selling
of note came from locals and the
South in the rising market.
Commenting on the cotton re-
port, the Department of Agricul-
ture pointed out that most of the
increase from last months fig
ure of 9,252,O00 bales took place
in States along the Mississippi
River, particularly Arkansas, Lou
isiana and Mississippi.
Rises also were shown for Ala
bama and Georgia. These in
creases, the department stated.
were partly offset by further de-
clines in Texas and Oklahoma
and moderate losses in the Caro-
linas and Virginia.
The morning map today showed
generally clear weather over the
entire cotton belt, with moderate
temperatures prevailing.
At the noon hour futures were
up II to 20 points. December
was up 20 at 1899, January up
81 at 12.41, March up II at 1910
and May up 10 at 1855.

"O"Au ferred A, on
which early resumption of divi.
dends was rumored, rose 2 points
TO a new high for the year. The
preferred B gained ~ points.
otherwise the market was
colorless and trading very quiet.
Commodities Better
Commodities were stronger,
with silver hitting new hieh
since 1929. Grains were higher
and cotton rallied when the GOV
eminent crop report estimated a
lower yield than expected. Bonds
continued their recovery and the
dollar was strong, particularly
against the pound sterling.
Rising hopes of an early i'm
provement in the steel industry
were not translated into buying
orders, and the steel shares were
sluggish. U. S. Steel showed
some support around the 80.
level.
Motors were easy from the
start, and Chrysler and General
Motors suffered fractional losses.
A squirt in Simms Petroleum
to a new high for the year on
merger rumors was outstanding
IN the oils. Amerada, on the
other hand, hit a new low for
the year. The others we're dull.

PRICE Of STEEL
STILL IN DOUBT

A cloud Of uncertainty still
hangs over the future price posi-
bilities in the steel industry, the
magazine Steel reports.
Adding to other uncertainties
regarding prices, Donald R. Rich
berg has indicated that as the Ad-
ministration's chief policy-making
official, he will put into practice
his idea that NRA codes should be
purged Of all price and production
control features, says the publica-
ton, adding:
Carried out, for steel this
could only mean a general re-
vision of the present, govern
ment-sponsored set-up Of code
prices"
SCRAP WEAKNESS
Scrap prices again are wavering.
it Is pointed out, strength at Chi
cago being more than offset by
reductions at Detroit and Pitts
burgh. Pig iron products are again
finding it more difficult to COM
pete against scrap, though pig iron
is only twice the price household
ers are paying for good grades OF
soft coal. Because some conSum-
ers installed to slit wide sheets to
make narrow strips, cold-rolled
strip manufacturers have revised
their extras, resulting in a reduc-
ton of as much as $25 a ten.
Steel's iron and steel price COM
posite index last week was down
4 cents to $500, rejecting easier
scrap; the finished steel index
held at $54, and the iron and
steel scrap figure was off 8
cents to 1888.
While the Richberg statement
has created uncertainty as to
prices, another Government &C.
ton has created encouragement.
The Government is bringing out
a new 2 billion dollar public
works program, supplementing
CnaG now being concluded, dLlCl
expected to develop large steel
tonnage.
Deferred Needs
There is also an improved sem
timent in the iron and, steel mar.
kets based on expectations OF
long.deferred requirements, which
has not as yet been translated
into large-scale buying, states
Steel. A slight gain in the num-
Der and size of orders last week
was sufficient to sustain steel
works operations at Is per cent.
Fundamentally, says Steel, de-
lay in general manufacturing
specifications has been due to
sloWneSs in most markets for
consumer goods, but it is becom-
ing more apparent that large
users are making every effort
to forestall purchasing, appar.
emily in anticipation of lower
prices.

FORDHAM LUCKY
 TO BEAT B. (. II
20, 900 See Rams Win 6 to 0 Maniaci Converts
 on 63=Yard Run

Newton, Mass, Oct. 13-(UP)- Sleepy Jim Crowley led his still undefeated but thoroughly chas- tened Fordham Rams back to the Bronx, lucky to have avoided de- feat or tie at the hands of all underratcd Boston college eleven at Alumni field here yesterday.
 Fordham won to 0 before a crowd of 10000. When in the first period, Joe Maniaci. burly Ram halfback, broke through the left side of his line and raced 63 yards for the only touchdown of the game.
 After the first period, Fordham, heavy favorites before the game, were thoroughly outplayed. and to the last whistle of the game were hard pressed to defend the slim margin they had pained at the start of the game. They never again threatened to score.
 Four times Boston college ran and passed to within the Rams 25 yard line, once losing the ball on the 5-yard stripe and later missing 8 first down son the one-yard line by inches.
 Boston College can attribute its defeat to the cratic receiving of passes, several of which were shot straight into the arms of receivers in open field within few steps of a touchdown, only to have them muffed. Bob Cash. big end, and Pat Aver, halfback who otherwise played an excellent game. were the main offenders in this regard.
 So tricky were the losers passes, that despite the poor receiving at crucial moments, 10 of 28 were completed for 160 yards, and only one was intercepted. Statistics showed that Boston college made 13 first downs to four for Ford ham. On net gain from rushing and passing, Boston College also topped the victors; amassing 241 wards to 128 for Fordham. sf

Yale Favored

 Today's game brought Yale and Pennsylvania together for the sec ond time since 1892 when the Bliss Brothers and Frank Hinkey turned the game into a track meet by trolling off four long runs for touchdowns. They met again in 1925 and Penn won it's first contest 16-13.
 Yale was 2M to favorite today. The starting lineup was re- inforced and the weather ideal for q fast held
