crease of $32,145 over the same month
last year. Operating expenses in
creased from $389,593 in September,
1936, to $436,944 for September this
year, principally due to the cost of
producing the larger volume of gas
sold and because of increased taxes.
The net result of the month's opera
tion after all deductions for interest
end amortization was a seasonal loss
amounting to $53,828, which, however,
is $2,236 more favorable than that for
September. 1936. Earnings for the

NEW YORK COTTON
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Oct. 30—Cotton fu
tures opened steady, down 4 to 6
points on lower cables and week end
hedge selling. December, 8.06; Jan
uary, 8.02; March, 8.01; May, 8.01;
July, 8.01; October, 8.13.
There w:as also some scattered liqui
dation. but trading was not large. Re
sistance developed as some deliveries
touched 8 cents and slight rallies oc
curred shortly after the first half hour.
The firmer opening of the stock
market helped the tone and there was
also some foreign buying of nearby
positions, although this was counter
balanced by selling from abroad in
later months. Fluctuations were con
fined to a range of 2 to 4 joints.
March recovered from 8 to 8.04 and
later was 8.03, with the list 3 to 4
points net lower around the end of
the first hour.
No rain was reported in the cotton
belt. The Dallas News, reviewing
conditions in Northwest Texas, re
ported rapid opening of bolls and a
need for pickers. A considerably
higher than average yield per acre in
most South Plains counties of Texas
was reported.
Sales of cotton goods for the week
were estimated at 60 per cent of cur
rent production.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30—An apatbf!*?
stock market today generally tilted
backward, although a number of is
sues managed to contest the trend with
modest advances.
Dealings were comparatively slow
from the start with the ticker tape)
seldom pressed in its recording worka
While selling was not particularly
urgent, it was sufficient to shake dow ij
many leaders fractions to a point o.
more.

Pittsburgh and other centers was fore
cast. At the same time some observer,
thought activities in this field maj
now be scraping bottom
Chrysler pointed higher following
yesterday's favorable dividend action,
although the company's earnings
statement was a bit under Wall
Street's calculations.
With most foreign markets closed,
there was no inspiration from that
quarter. The usual week-end cashing
in of profits and evening up of ac
counts. brokers said, contributed to
the sluggish performance.
Transfers were in the neighborhood
of 700.000 shares.
Business news lacked stimulating
qualities, with an assortment of third
quarter corporation showings reflecting (
the recent trade recession. Cotton
goods sales for the week were reported
60 per cent below production.
In the losing column most of the
time were United States Steel. Na
tional Steel. Inland Steel, Wheeling
Steel, Crucible, Youngstown Sheet &
Tube, General Motors, Sears-Roebuck.
I. Case, Boeing. American Tele
phone. Western Union. Anaconda.

Reduction. Fajardo Sugar, Shell Union
Oil. Standard Oil of New Jersey, New
York Central. Southern Pacific, Chesa
peake & Ohio, Southern Railway and
American Locomotive.
There was a further response by
Bethlehem to the company’s pleasing
earnings figures, this issue being one
of the few steels to improve on the day.
Resistant also were Goodyear, R-K-O,
Woolworth, Douglas Aircraft, Santa
