go in and see if everything was all
right and then told FATTY" to run 1t

About that time a kindly post reached

final ballot won the necessary major
ity among the SO members then pres
ent. He received 45 votes and Whit
man 49, The McAneny forces broke
up and divided their strength between
the two leaders. The nomination of
Mitchell was afterward made dnani-

DAILY COTTON Letter


NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 29.-The press
this morning contains an important an
nouncement by Secretary McAdoo' or
Washington, to the effect that he would
be willing to grant an extension of time
tor the return of loans to any national
bank holding crop movement deposits.
This Is considered as further step
taken by Washington to defeat any
move in certain quarters to bring about
financial stress and force sacrifice sales.
This step Is greeted with much salts
faction in the South and will go far to-
ward restoring confidence in the fnan-
cial situation.
Liverpool is good on spots, which are
quoted points hiher with sales OF A.
900 bales. but poor on futures, which
closed points lower than due. rms
weakness in futures is generally consid-
cred a reflection Of the bearish spirit
prevailing in New York. The rumor of
a large ginning forecast by the Ma
tional Ginners was officially contradict
ed. \ well posted party says ginnings
will be large, bit will be at the expense
Of the crop, which turns out shorter
than expected in Oklahoma and Georgia.
The map shows general and rather
heavy rains over the Central and West
ern States. The rainstorm over North
Texas will move eastward over Sunday,
and cause generally bad weather in the
entire belt. except possibly fair and
colder in Oklahoma and Northwest
Texas
The weekly Liverpool statement SHOWS
an aver increasing loss in stock, which
Is now $4,000 bales smaller than last
wear The necessity Of coming to this
side for supplies is increasing cor
respondingly and a general demand can
not he far off. The market opened well,
but fell back on weakness in New York
There is, however confidence here that
the situation is strong enough to resist
depression and the financial move by
Washington instilled further confidence.
The market held well around last nights
closing prices.

ward movement along.

preceding the record growth of IS 500, =

suppose that spinners' reserve stocks are
down to relatively small figures. other
wise, takings would not be running on

simply can not keep up at the present
