At the opening OF business further de-

Coupled with the Improvement in the
money supply there was also an advance

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 26-Some oper-
ators are disposed to believe that except
for the investment purchases In small
amounts. the buying power in the stock
market will be limited for some little time.
1t is pointed out that the odd lot buying In
aggregate will probably be as large as 1t
has been throughout the year thus far and
win greatly strengthen the position Of the
market. but 1t is doubted that this class of
buying will result In an important uplift in
prices. It Is feared that the liquidation
will be sufficiently extensive for some time
to check the upward movement that other
conditions might warrant.
With the expected improvement in none
tary conditions generally, 1t is believed
that any sharp declines in the quotations
OF individual securities, such as took place
In Missouri Pacific yesterday, will be due
more to urgent liquidation by individuals
and firms than to unfavorable conditions In
the affairs Of the corporations represented
by the securities.
In connection with this idea attention is
called to the favorable reports made with
respect to the affairs of the Westing-
house companies and 1t is also pointed out
that most Of the other important corpora
tons which have been embarrassed ra-
Gently to the extent Of being compelled to
go into receivers hands have a large
amount Of business still on hand and VAL
uahle assets and the opinion is expressed
that these corporations will recover from
their troubles more RAPIDLY than would
seem possible at first thought It is sug-
gested also that If these expectations are
realised the affairs Of the corporations in
volved might easily warrant sharp re-
covery from the present low prices, but
that forced liquidation may check such a
movement.

An authority on the cotton crop in Texas
says that the last seasons crop is being
held back by the growers for higher
prices.
1t IL understood that the Texas and Pa
cinc Railway Company is some $50, 900
bales behind the amount of cotton which
It had moved up to this time year ago.
A part Of this difference is attributed to
the shortage in this years crop. but to q
great extent to the holding back of the
cotton by the growers. This authority
says that he believes the estimates made
recently by President Trumbull of the Col
orado and Southern of the cotton grown in
Texas last season is very accurate. This
