F1 ANCIAL THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1926 5 FINANCIAL. 31 COTTON PRICE SAGS AFTER EARLY RISE Opening Firm on Covering, But Free Selling in South Weakens Values. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 5.—Cotton futures opened firm; October, 13.45 December, 13.2 January, 13.36 March, 13.60; May, 13.78. The market opened firm today at an sdvance of 20 to 22 points on covering by recent sellers, combined with trade buying and buying for a reaction, based on relatively steady Liverpool cables and prospects for lower temperatures in the Southwest. Frosts were considered possible tonight in the Texas Panhandle and parts of Oklahoma, but not neces- sarily killing temperatures, and after tnitfal buving orders had been sup- plied, prices weakened again under reports that the South continued a free seller. December broke from 13.29 to 13.07 By the end of the first hour, or within 2 points of yesterday's closing quotations. The decline from the opening ad vance extended to 13.05 for December oontracts and other months sold near yesterday's closing quotations. Prices then steadled on covering, but rallies were limited and the market was within a few points of the lowest ut midday, except for October. which held about 15 points net higher.

HEFFERNAN. NEW YORK, October 5.—Prices rallied on the curb exchange today following an early period of uncer- tainty. Big trading continued in Dupont and In Warner Brothers Pictures. The former had closed Monday at 175%. It went to 174 this morning, then more than recovered the ground lost. Warner Brothers was batter supported from the start and con- tinued to gain as the general list im- proved. Freshman Radio was helped by the September report showing net sales of over $1,000,000, an increase of 49 per cent s compared with the same month ar ago. The president of the company in a statement to stock- holders said that unfllled orders were far in excess of any volume previous- 1y on the books. Goodyear Tire and Rubber was a feature. The market had evidently not been prepa fully for the a nouncement that refunding plans were under discussion, which would NEW YORK, October ing is a list of bonds and sto traded in on the New York Curb Mar- ket today: n INDUSTRIAL Ala Gt South: 1 Ala Gt Sauth bf perpow A R Am Superpow B, 1 Am Superp or pf ageol Mot Co. . do” Sug Co 3 Forhan Co A I Foundation F ‘A 6 Fox Theaters A Freshman Chas newell e Cream ub ser - S R Gobel A Goodyear T & R i Happiness © St A ander & S A * 1g Home Tns Ind Rayon Corp A 6 Thtern 1% Johns 1 31 Kraft ( ¢ 90 Leh Pow ne o 001 ? 17 Leh Val € s 2 Leh Val ¢ 1g Lib Ow 1 R ( Sq ..,.»I. ) Mid Wedt i M 1 Midvale Co 40 Mohawk H Pow ) Molawk Valn LH&Pn ales 16 Sh G111 st Boil n Ohio enn Ohio Se pfd K01, ; Pen P& L pfd 1077 Penn Wat Pow € 169 0 Fa " Die Cem. . 43 Philip Mo 1 hilip Morris A oct & Gambie 15 1th P’ Se ©N'Tn wi 1Pug S P & L 3 Purity Bak B. .| iy Purity Bak pid 1 Pyrene Mfg As, il F 20 & 1083 o3 A0 Int rta L'p pld Ve & and Pub C A N Stutz Mot 12 Swift intl Swift & Co Tob Prod Expt 1 Todd Ship ns Lux Pic A 2100 Travelers Ins Gyostim 78 Lt & Ht hew 8 il B & L vte B. 3% il Shoontl way 28 ie Talk' Mach.. i e yarner Hros Pic 7% West Datry, 3 White Sew M G 28y 130 124 13 Yel Taxi C MININ in hundreds. 60 Ariz_Globe € Beaver Cons Calumet & Je Cons Cop Mine Cresson - Gold 3 Eng Gld M 30 Falcon I i 24 H Golden Cen 10 Goldfid Cons 50 Hawthorne M T : Utah Apex . r0ds INDEPENDENT OIL STOCKS 1 Am Maracaibo Co 5 5 7 Nat Gas . % 7 g U 18 R L tarn syna 185 1% “arih 8 Serv new 3 Cit Serv ptd . 2 Git Serv pid B A Cit Serv BB pfd. 10 Columbia Synd . 08 Creole Svnd oun Cent Pete 4 01l Co beon_ Oil Cor 1pGulf Oil of Pa oil [ e Star Gas il 1 Nor C 2 Ohio Cp D i Pandem Oil \ok 01l Corp Reiter-Foster Roval Con O & R Prod 0NV Ck 1 Salt 1 Tid O 4T de Wat Oi_pf Venezuclan Pet ¥ Warner _Quinl 4 Wilcox 0 & G n 1 Woodlex Pet n 30°Y" o1l Salesin STANDARD OIL 400 Anslo Am A O non vie 000 Hambie 01 & K 30111 P L. 1 300 Imp 0 of Can 10Ind P L onn ey Wuel | rairic O & G n (18 Sofar " Refin, © 2 l] smszu-n.

Continued warm weather has been a means of reducing sales of meat and making the market slow. Because of the weather conditions, it is stated, pork dealers are in a quandry as tof whether to stock up with fresh or smoked meats. Improved market conditions are not expected until there is a decided change in the temperature. There are more than ample supplies on hand to meet prevailing demands, dealers re- port. Retallers are buying only small quantities at a time, however, mak- ing the market anything but lively Butter prices in New York and Chi- go advanced yesterday, but the ad- vance was not great enough to affect the local market.
