In the Stock Market

ißy Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—The fact that yesterday saw the largest number of issues dealt in since July 1 rather clearly points to reviving public interest in the stock market. In July the activity was due to liquidation wheras presently accumulation appears to be the motive. Naturally, brokers’ loans should show some increase to further reflect this outside participation. With the New York Stock Exchange collateral borrowings at the lowest ratio to valuation since records have been kept, rising security loans should afford satsifaction. Incidentally, the ratio is slightly more than half of what it was October 1 last year when it was viewed with so much concern. To have the federal reserve statement disclose increasing commercial loans would be looked upon as even more encouraging in that it would indicate growing industrial and commercial activity. Some improvement in seasonal credit demand was noted in a statement earlier in the week. Mr. Babson’s optimistic prediction for fall business, no doubt, will command considerable favorable attention. We fail to see anything at the moment to deter the upward trend of the stock market, and suggest taking advantage of normal setbacks which may be expected to occur.

In the Cotton Markets

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) ’ NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—At the opening this morning the cotton market was down a few points on an easier English market. The tone was steady. A big business to start with rapidly decreased in volume. Prices at their lowest were only 10 or 12 points under last night. The disposition to sell the market short is no longer in evidence. Co-operatives are said to be handling considerably more cotton than last year. Mills are buying direct to a greater extent than usual. That partially explains the small volume of hedge sales. Small operators who carry cotton through local banks in the south are also supposed to be long of the actual without selling contracts against it. It gives the market a look of great strength. The weather continues favorable. A few observers are beginning to talk about a top crop. With continued favorable conditions, more will be heard of it. The technical position is not so strong as it has been, but we do not imply that it is soft enough to invite sales. It would be better to call the market balanced, a traders market that should not be pyramided on either side.
