NEW YORK, Sept. 2O,-Cotton fu-
tudes opened 10 to 13 higher on more
favorable European developments and
trade and foreign buying October,
7.88; December, 795; January, 796;
March, 739; May. 7.95; July, 7,95.
Some commission house buying was
attracted by the opening strength of
the stock market, but as March touched
8 cents there was enough hedge selling
and liquidation to cause partial re-
actions. Nevertheless, the tone held
steady, with prices at net gains of 9
to IL points shortly after the first half
hour.
December by that time had reacted
from 797 to 1893.
The market remained quiet later in
the morning, but prices held at about
the best levels for the day Moderate
offerings were absorbed by trade and
scattered buying.
December sold up to 1877 by midday
when the list was IL to IS points net

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-Saber rat
Ting in Europe sounded less menacing
to Wall Street today and the stock
market took courage to extend its re-
covery more briskly.
Gains of to around 4 points we're
posted through the list in lively fore
noon buying spurts. particularly at the
opening The forward march halted
after midday for a time, but was re-
sumed again toward the finish.
Markets generally emerged further
from the wraps Of war fears. Cotton
was up around 81 bale at one time,
and bonds, notably United Statc5
Treasury issues. rallied nimbly with
stocks.
Wall Street got its buying steer be- -,
fore starting dealings from a broad
swing upward in European markets,
including London, Paris and Amstcr-
dam, and from rise in foreign cur
rencies in terms of the dollar Evi-
dence the European rush to get gold
and dollars in flight of capital had
diminished also was seen in a sharp
fall in the London price of gold.
Strain Is Eased.
The financial community seemed to
have accepted the British-French plan
for partition of Czechoslovakia as an
assurance against large-scale war in
the near future. Despite feports OF
more border clashes along the Czecho-
slovak frontier and doubt whether the
Czechs would accept the dismember-
ment proposals. the prolonged strain
OF watching the Nazi-CZech crisis ap-
peared to have eased all around.
Up to around at one time in late
dealings were Westinghouse, Youngs-
town Sheet & Tube, Philip Morris,
Johns-Manville, Continental Can. Sim
mons, American Telephone, United
States Rubber preferred. United States
Rubber, Penney. Texas Corp, East
man Kodak, Sears -Roebuck, Chrysler
and United States Steel
Also prominent in the recovery were
Bethlehem. General Motors, General
Electric. Santa Fe Southern Pacific
and International Nickel.
On the curb gains ran to around
near the finish in Humble Oil. Alumi-
mum of America, American Cyanamid
b Lake Shore Mines, Newmon,
Mining.
Wheat Yields Gains,
Still countering stocks in reaction
to war considerations, wheat yielded
more of its recent gains, finishing 4
OF cent bushel down in the Chi
cago pit. Corn was of "a to IL cents.
At midafternoon, the British pound
was S4.8l7s, up IL cents. The
French franc was .003s Of cent high
er at 2.70l4 cents.
Transactions, increased BY active
buying around the opening, approxi-
mated 100000 shares.
The further upturn. centering in
steels, motors, chemicals. building sup
ply and other industrial groups, took
many shares back over a third to a.
half of the ground lost on the recent
War-frightened selling waves.

Speed for Battle

WASHINGTON, July (UP) -
President Roosevelt, informed nav
al sources said today, will give
special attention to speed of Amer
ica's super r-dreadnaughts when he
reviews the fleet off the California
coast July II.
A direct result of the review it
was said, may be presidential ord
ers to place special emphasis on in
creasing the speed of battleships to
be constructed under the newly
launched $1,15IOOOOOO naval ex-
panSion program.
Some authorities here consider
the slow speed of battleships the
weakest link in the nations first
line of defense. 1t was understood
that recent Pacific naval maneu-
vers-most extensive mock war
fare this country ever staged,
showed that the U. S. bat
tleship force is fundamentally
weak, chiefly because of inability
to keep abreast of other units of
the fleet.
