COTTON MARKET
 EXTREMELY WILD
Fluctuations Violent and IT, regular With Excited
 Market

New York, November ea.--The cotton market was excited today with auetna- tions extremely violent and irregular. New high records were made for the season during the early afternoon, but a very sharp break followed under realiz- ing and rumors of bearish ginning re- turns with the market finally steady at net points lower to Il points higher as compared with the close of last We'd nesday.
 The opening was steady at a decline Of 8 points to an advance of points, near months being influenced by relatively easy cables and the circulation of a few December notices. over holiday buying orders sent the active months about D to points net higher right after the call, but realizing continued active and the market gradually sagged off. Alter showing a net loss of to : points the selling became less active and renewal of bull support was accompanied by rapid advance Early sellers seemed to be covering, and there was but little cotton offerings until the active months showed net gains of from 10 to 10 points This carried the spring months up to very nearly the 13c mark, and 0 lot of long cotton came on the iilhIhet' toi v time it was pretty well absorbed, but when it was seen that the offerings were in volume, bulls withdrew and there was a break almost as sudden and vio- lent as the midday advance Active months sold off more than 20 points from the best. but net decline of about to Il points net renewed support with the close at a rally of several points from the lowest. Rumors that the National aaSnq{affan would show II .SlD.- GOO bales sinned probably helped the late decline.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York November 29.- tSpecialD While our market was closed, Liver pool had some sharp fluctuations to open this morning from 2 to points higher than Wednesday.
 This was not adequate reply to the strength shown in the American so we opened lower, declined slightly and then rushed quickly upward under ag- gressive buying until March sold at 12.97c. practically 13e
 From this point realizing orders ape peared and finally heavy selling for the long account caused all the ad- vance to be lost with the close hardly steady at practically last Wednesdays quotations.
 Although the market was generally higher today. 1t at no time showed the underlying strength of Wednesday,. The traders are bullish, expecting their position will be sustained by the next ginners report and the bureau report on the 18th.
 We think there is a larger long in- terest in Wall street houses than for q long time.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. November 29.-cotton fu- lures opened steady l point off to 3 points up.
 Cables were colorless. Bulls attempted to put the market up immediately after the call, but at level of to 3 points over the close of Wednesday. Selling orders came out in volume. The market then fell off. Holiday weather in the cotton region was considered almost perfect and the forecast predicted more fair weather. At the end of the first half hour of trading prices were to points under the final levels of Wednesday.
 4 small decline that followed the open ing did not last long Reports Of a good spot demand in the interior and of the completion of picking and ginning and the exhaustion of supplies in first hands at many points in the cotton belt. especially in the eastern half, stimulated trading.
 The market gradually acquired a very steady tone There appeared to be an en- tire absence of manipulation and leading bull interests were said to be selling on the rise. All months went 70 new high levels. May selling up to 13.o7c. Al mid

CALL MONEY HIGHEST
 IN SEVERAL YEARS
Twenty Per Cent Quoted Just Before Close of
 Speculation

New York, November 29.-The high est rate for call money in several years was touched today. 20 per cent being quoted just before the close of spec ulation. The rate nuctuated erraticaily throughout the session and the bulk of business was transacted at figures considerably below the top.
 The opening was at per cent and renewals were made at per cent. After mounting to 10 per cent the rate fell to per cent. Late in the session the quotations rose by leaps until 20 per cent was touched in the last few min utes. It was the highest rate since January of 1908. A furry in money was not altogether unexpected all though the comparative ease at the opening and the dip to per cent after 10 per cent was touched had lessened fears of a squeeze. There were signs also that the recent scare of scarcity of funds might make itself felt in some manner. Loans made during the day carried over into the new month and there were preparations to be made for over s10o.0OO,0O0 interest and dividend disbursements.
 Another unsettling factor was the drain on this center by Canada and tho interior which threatens to obliterate the surplus reserve shown in the bank statement last week. Forecasts based on known movements of money indi- cated cash loan of from s34,5O0,OO to twice that amount.
 The loss of gold to Canada was in- creased by an additional shipment of s500,000, bringing up the total to $1,- 750,000. The uncertain status of money was an effective bar to speculative ac- tivity in stocks and the trade be- came listless.
 The Hartman stocks and Canadian Pacific were higher. There were wide movements in few specialties with General Electric, Westinghouse and rubber particularly strong Fluctua- tions elsewhere were narrow.
 The furry in money was without ef- feet on stock values Harrimans, Can adian Pacific, Union Pacific and North ern Pacific reported increases of round figures in their earnings for October. The earnings of the Union and South ern Pacific were the largest in their history. Bonds were generally steady. Sales, total par value, $1,30G,000. Bonds of the United States on call were un- changed.
