New York Cotton.
New York, Oct. 15. Scant support from
trade Interests, combined with week-end
short covering, served to make the trend
of the cotton market today an upward
one after an opening that was Irregular
and rather nervous in tone. The further
upturn was moderate, however, and the
two-hour session ended after a slight re
action, with the list generally unchanged
to 13 points net higher.
Early in the second hour the list was
firm In tone and about of a cent a
pound net higher. Business was fairly
active, although the majority of the blg-
... nnaratnr. rtM little elth.r Wav.
The market slipped stesdily from the
high as business progressed, some options
moving back dangerously near last night s
closing level, with pressure from local
"longs" and scattered southern hedge
selling. Early buyers withdrew after a
while, which was reflected In the market a
late action. Business continued ri-r
but the tone was steady at the finish.

By FRANKLIN K. SPRAGUE.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, Oct. 16. We are now
very nearly at the time of year when
the character of the financial situ
ation gets its real test, along with
the reaching of its normal maximum
of activity by the autumn trade. A
year ago this test disclosed an ex
trcme stringency of credit, a highly
precarious condition in speculative
finance and industry, and, as a con
sequence, a prolonged and violent
decline of prices, both in the great
commodity markets and on the stocK
exchange.
What we apparently nave aneaa
of us now is a thoroughly readjust
ed speculative situation, a Jederai
reserve position which is as excep
tionally strong as it was exception
ally weak a year ago, a compara
tively rasv monev mancer. ana a
gradal revival of trade activity. No.
Iboct imnnrlant. hoth as a COnSC-
quence and as a cause, the general
decline in commodity prices has vis
ibly terminated. It is now four
months since the "index numbers
have reported a decline during any
month.
Advance Slow.
But the advance Is very slow; so is the
resumption of trade activity and the un
certain movement of the stock exchange,
since Its first reflection of the Improved
conditions by the vigorous recovery of
September, Indicates the uncertainties
which still prevail. The markets are learn
mg the familiar lesson that recuperation
from a prolonged snd violent Pf''0 (
forced liquidation must be 81I
tentative They are learning two ptnei
th?nas- first that the consuming public is
not yet ready to pay .fly great advance
over decent retail frlces-the m .trad,
has proved this since the violent rl of
iil raw material and second. that
Europe also must share in the recovery,
a. ? It has not yet done, before our own
trade outlook clears up.
The recovery In sterling. wy ynusu.l
for an autumn season, Is undoubtedly a
sign of promise. But the foreign ex
change situation In other directions is
still far from satisfactory.
Marks Going Down.
The German mark declined last week
. riviar at wnicn. reiHvnuiR uu
old fashioned basis, the price of gold at
Berlin, was 3,41111 or aoout 11 uiuc.
i.i..h the hla-hest Quotations reached
In our own inflation period of the sixties.
Needless te say, tne asrrinmg 01 mo
fall In the mark to "speculation" is ridi
culous; that la the old obsession of in
sisting that symptons are causes. It Is
quite undeniable that if Germany had no
