While the stock exchange itself
refused to comment, it was
pointed out that the business con-
duct committee always looked into

issue.
From the Securities and Ex.

in Washington came the state
ment that an investigation also
will be made. This will be the
first official probe of the Securi-

declaration of Commissioner

NEW YORK. Sept. 7 G.N.SJ.
Renewed strength in the United
States Government bond list,
notably the Home Owners Loan
and the Federal Farm Mortgage
obligations, featured dealings on
the bond market today.
Home owners Loan IS, the
Home Owners Loan As, Federal
Farm Mortgage IS, and United
States Treasury IS of 1855 were
the strong spots.
Other sections of the domestic
list were quiet and somewhat r.
regular. This was most evident
in the Second-grade railroad di-
vision, which we're somewhat un-
settled by the poor tone OF the
stock market.
st. Paul SIS and Chicago and
Northwestern convertible 434s
were unchanged.
Third Avenue Is were up frac-
tionally. International Telephone
SIS were unchanged.
German Is were unchanged.

OUTPUT DROPS
FOR PIC IRON

Pig iron production in August
showed decline of 1879 per cent
from July following that months
recession of 1876 per cent from
June. The August rate of out.
put, at 34,012 tons daily, was 48.4
per cent below the peak of the
year, reached in May, and was
the lowest since May, 1888, when
the daily average was 28,621
tons.
Total production in August was
1,054,382 tons, compared with
1,224,826 tons in July. There was
a net loss of IA active blast fur
naces during the month, 16 hav-
ing been blown out or banked
while two were lighted.
Despite the sharp losses in out
put in the past two months, pro-
duction for the year to date is
still so per cent above the total
for the corresponding period in
1888.
Whether the current downward
trend will continue through Sep
tember is a question that cannot
now be answered with certainty.
Improvement in iron and steel
Booking since Labor Day has not
been impressive, although the
final liquidation of stocks accumu-
lated in the second quarter is
counted on to drive more tonnage
into the market as the month
progresses. Further declines in
heavy melting scrap at Pittsburgh
and Chicago, driving The Iron
Age scrap composite to $9.75 ton,
a new low for the year, are not
encouraging, nor is the general
spirit of business unsettlement
that has been engendered by
chronic labor turmoil climaxing
in the nationwide textile strike.

COTTON ROAMS
IN LIMITED
RANCE

NEW YORK, Sept. 7 G.N.S0.
The cotton market experienced
an extremely quiet session today,
as most trading moved to the
sidelines pending publication of
the Government crop forecast
Saturday noon. Futures fluctu-
ated within narrow range at,
or slightly under, previous closing
levels.
Cotton centers abroad were
mixed, with Liverpool cables
slightly above due prices and
Alexandria sustaining small losses.
Initial quotations in the local
market were unchanged to 2
points higher, but these levels
were shaded somewhat as the
morning progressed.
Sales Offset
Price fixing for the foreign
trade and little Wall Street buy
ing offset sales in moderate vol
ume through the large spot
houses, also selling by commission
houses and local traders. The
market eased after the overnight
accumulation of trade buying
orders we're executed.
Working against the market was
q weekly survey by the Dallas
News saying the crop improved in
the northern half of Texas and
that heavy rains in Oklahoma
were generally helpful. A crop in
crease, probably not very marked,
is possible in about one-fourth of
Texas with favorable conditions
the remainder of the season, the
report declared.
Below Average
Another private estimate today
forecast the crop as of September
l at 9,O35, 900 bales. The average
private guess to date is 9,067,375,
while the average guess of IS mem
berS of the New York Cotton Ex-
change is 9,045 900 bales.
Trading on the exchange will
cease at 1850 a. m. on Saturday,
due to the Government report be-
ing received at noon the same day.
At midday futures were un-
changed to three points lower,
with October off 3 at 1917, DE,
cember unchanged at 1922, March
off at 1912, and May off 2 at
13.49.

Wholesale Price
Levels Rise

Extending into the fifth sue
cessive week in which advances
exceeded declines, the weekly
tabuIatiOn Of wholesale prices,
prepared by Dun & Bradstreet'
Inc, showed 30 commodities
quoted higher than in the latest
period, as against 30 in the pre-
ceding week, and % in the cor
responding week Of last year. De
cIines in the past week numbered
21, compared with II in the pre-
ceding week and n a year ago.
Although some reaction de-
veloped late in the week, with
moderate declines recorded for
many food items, the week, as q
whole, witnessed a further ad-
vance in the general level Of cash
commodity markets.
This was reflected in the Dun
& Bradstreet daily commodity
index which closed on Friday
last at 12O.46, after reaching a
peak Of 12O.95 on August 20. At
the beginning Of last week the
index stood ak 12O.21.

COTTON GOODS

NEW YORK. Sept. N.N.s).-The

comparatively quiet today, as trading

ence Of the textile strike situation.

virtually unchanged in all sections of

lots OF print cloths. but in the main
were content to await further develop
ments in the textile industry before
coming into the market for goods.

BOSTON. June 23.-The Com
mercial Bulletin will say today:
Demand for wool in the Eastern
markets is limited and prices are
hardly changed as matter of quota
ton, although territory quotations
are purely nominal Bright f1eeces
are steady at last weeks price level.
Sales of wool are being made in
the Far West at prices which are
sensibly under territory quotations
on this market top-making Oregon
woods having been sold at about 50
and 63 cents, clean, landed Boston,
against nominal asking prices here
of about 80 cents. A million pounds
of good II months wool was sold
from Kerrville. also. at basis of 70
cents. clean, Boston.
Foreign markets are reported
steadier, with a little more business
being done The next Australian clip
is estimated at 3,146,000 bales of 300
pounds each, which is an increase.
The piece goods market is still
unsettled and with no definite trend,
although manufacturers are looking
the wool market over and checking
up on offerings. The threat of a
strike by the U. T. w. in all New
England mills on July : is dis
turbing.
"Monair is in very moderate de-
mand and steady in price"
