'.NEW TOnK, Aug. 21. At tho opening
this morning the cotton market was fever
ish with flrst prices G to 10 points higher,
based on stronger cables and a lack of
rain In the Southwest. Hedge, selling from
the Atlantic ami a llttlo soiling ot October
by Liverpool was absorbed by Wall street
buying, trade buying and noticeable In
crease of cutslde speculative demand.
Soon after tho opening this carried active
positions a dozen points over last night's
close. Tho strength In Liverpool was attriu.
uted to an absence of rain In the Southwest,
llttlo hedge pressure and general buying.
At the end ot tho flrst 20 minutes tho
market was active and firm at best prices,
renreeentlng a net rise of about 13 points.
While there wero no fresh bullish news
features the market developed renewed
strength and activity townrd midday. The
readiness with which heavy realizing sales
had been absorbed on reactions of 8 or 10
points from tho best seemed to Increase tha
confidence of fresh buying, while the broad
ening of outside demand probably reflected
etrengthened expectations of another re
duction In crop estimates ot the end of
this month.
Tho market became more Irregular J., tho
early afternoon under Increased realizing
aales and selling for a reaction based on the
Washington advices relatlvo to the ralhoad
crisis. Fresh buying for outside .-.ccount
was, much In ovlficnco on tho setback, how
ever and sentiment appeared to bo of a
strong bullish average with many predic
tions of 10c cotton before tho publication
of the bureau report on the condition next
week.
From tho Atlantic States came reports
Ujat spot cotton was being offered nly
sparingly.
All deliveries made new high records and
prices sold about 20 to 26 points net higher
luring the early noon hour.
Exports of cotton for week ending August
15 were: Georgia, 15,112; Siassacnuseits.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET
NUW YOHI", Atlff. 21. Tho mnrltct for
coffee futures opened Btendy nt nn advance
of I to C jiolntM. Trailing wns fairly active,
with sales on tho call 32S0 bags.
Net advances of C to 8 points wore shown
at the end of the first hour of trading, with
salo of 10.2G0 bags. The market lind the
support of leading trade Interests and offer
ings were not at all free. Whllo firm offers
from Ura-ll showed a slightly easier tend
ency, there wns no sign of general weak
ness there, and the local spot mnrket here
wns steady, with a better demand reported,
ltlo No. 7 being firm nt O'jC
I'rlvato reports from Urn7.il late yester
day said that freight rates were higher,
$1.60 per bag having been bid, which rep
resented nn advance of 00 cents over Inst
otllclal iiuotatlons. This also had a stimu
lating effect that mny have led to some of
tho scattrred outside buying of tho later
positions.

LAKE SUPERIOR CORPORATION ISSUES
A GOOD EARNINGS REPORT FOR YflAtt
Income Far Above Previous Twelve Months Deficit I0
Wiped Out and Company Shows Surplus Trading
Quieter on Philadelphia Stock Exchange
Tho reason for the recent strength of
the stock of the Lnlte aupcrlor Corporation
on the I'hll.iilclphla Stock ExcTifttiRd be
came npparent today when tho company's
report of cnrnlnpra for the "scnl year end
Ine Juno .10, 1010, wan made public. He
ports have had It several times that the
earnings wero far nheail of last yenr, nr.d
the earnings statement boro out these re
ports. Tor tho twelve months the earnings of the
milisldktry companies wcro $3,503,471. This
Is an Increase of $2,137,201 ns compared
with tho Fame period of the pravlotis year.
After deducting a previous deficit of
331,7C5, which Is a reduction of $333, COC,
tlio total earnings for tho period were
$3,171,700. nn Increase of $1,743,603, There
wan left for tho surplus nccount nfter nil
deductions $38.718, which compares with
i deficit last year of $331,705, which was
paid up out of this year's earnings. During
the early hours on Chango today tho com
pany's stock did not sell, but In the nftcr
noon It camo out ot n fractional gain.
The output of the chief subsidiary of the
Lalto Huperlor Corporation, the Algomn,
Steel Corporation, was 2GS,"04 tons of pig
Iron, ngalnst 212,017 In 1015, and 213,406
tons finished steel, nsuinst 183,430 tons of
steel rails and merchant mill material.
The period of funding In connection with
bond and noto Interest has virtually ex
plred nnd it Is expected that Interest pay
ments will be resumed In October,
Tho notes outstanding nmountlnr to
$2,432,500 nre due In March, 1B17i and tha
directors are considering their Ilauldatlon,
subject to labor conditions. The water
power of the company was sold for $1,000,
000, which sum Is In the hands ot trustees
available for new construction.
Trading was not as brisk on the Stock
Kxchango today as It has been on previous
days of tho week. This was due In large
measure to the fact that the New York
market was subjected to considerable profit
taking, ns was to be expected after the
extended rise which has been enjoyed In
tho big market. Movements of prices wer
narrow, ahd were divided between advances
nnd declines, -Cramp trust certificates,
which wcro strong In tho trading yester
day, eased oft a frncUon after scoring
slight gain. J. a. Brill' lost a full point.
United Rtates Hteel common continued to
monopolize attention, although tho demand
for that stock was not as brisk nnd It
sagged slightly In sympathy with New
York.
