COTTON TURNS
UP At CLOSE

NEW YORK, April IA Q.N.S0.
Cotton futures turned upward at
the close today under the stimulus
Of trade buying, earlier losses Of
a point and more being converted
into gains Of almost Is cents a
bale. There was in addition, a
little buying through Wall Street
and commission houses, which
combined to offset selling from
spot firms and the South.
Sentiment was aided by the
Census Bureau report showing
that mills Of the United States
consumed 543,69O running bales
Of lint cotton during March,
compared with 477,89O in Febru-
ary and 495,183 in March, 1888.
Weekly statistics of the New
York Cotton Exchange placed the
movement of American cotton
into sight this week at 100000
bales, compared with $4,000
bales last year.
Exports during the past week
amounted to $4,000 bales, against
$4,000 last season.
Closing quotations were up 2 to
4 points, with May up 3 at 11.87;
July up 2 at 11.97: october up 2

VARYING WAGE
AFFECTS SEEN

The latest wave of wage in
creases in the automobile, steel,
coal, electrical and other indus
tries promises to have widely diff
ferent effects on the profits Of
individual companies, according
to Standard Statistics Company,
and will stimulate efforts Of pro-
ducers to pass along the higher
costs to consumers in the form
Of increased prices. Not all COM
panies can change prices sud-
denly without Immediately curb
ing sales, although in others the
effect Of price changes is less
pronounced.
On the whole, however, bust
ness volumes normally respond
reasonably quickly to expansion
in aggregate purchasing power;
this has been the experience
since the beginning Of the pres
ent recovery period.
The current wage raising pro-
gram should, therefore, after a
reasonable period, be reflected in
greater aggregate trade volumes.
Unit profits will be narrowed
temporarily by the higher wage
costs, but if these result in suf-
ficient expansion in aggregate
sales volumes, total profits ulti-
mately will record satisfactory
expansion.
