Insurance Loans Wanted.

Charles P. Glover formerly leader

now vice president OF the National
Association of Real Estate Exchanges,
mas Joined hands with Harris G..
White, president OF the local board,
in the latter's fight to get more money
here for use in the development of
real estate.
Mr.. Glover declared Wednesday that
the idea of having the real estate men
and business men generally cooper
ate with the insurance companies
which lend in Atlanta was one of the
best that had ever been offered.
Mr. White is getting up a list of
insurance concerns which are in the
local market with loans. and it is his
idea to recommend that these be
patronized wherever possible. Since
his idea is to maintain policy OF
reciprocity, no objection has been
heard in insurance circles although
many concerns that Go not lend here
to help out local industries have
taken notice of the move

RENEWED BUYING
F0RCESSTOCKSU UP
London Gives Cue for Advance by
Responding to Good News
From Mexico.
BY CHARLES w. STORM.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Expressions of
foreign attitude toward the Mexican
policy of the administration, as viewed
in the morning papers, were the chief
factor in determining the tone Of the
stock market to-day. Before our open
ing. brisk advances were recorded in the
London market, and in the initial trad
ing here vigorous buying carried prices
OF many Issues a point above yester
days close.
The influence of the Mexican news
was most prominent in the trading in
the National Railways of Mexico sec
ond preferred, which opened at IA,
against Tx at the close yesterday.
There was a brisk demand for Union
Pacific, which opened up Ia to 1917,
rejecting continued action in anticipa-
ton of the ~ per cent dividend Thurs
day. Southern Pacific also rose over a
point, selling at sc. and an advance Of
IN was made in Canadian Pacific, which
sold at 2237s.
United States Steel common was
traded in on a large scale and gained y
with sales at 555s.
New Haven was the only prominent
exception to the rising tendency, being
OHeFed at concessions and SeIIlnR at
TN, a loss of a point.
Americans in London were above
parity.
The curb market was firm.
The brisk advances made in the early
trading were well maintained all
through the late forenoon, and some
issues made further gains Union Pa
cific was in greatest demand, selling up
to 1875. There was a brisk demand
for Canadian Pacific. which gained "a

Wall Street JournaI-Large interests

The New York Sun-That the Ameri-

final adjustment may be long deferred
Is well recognized in stock exchange
circles.
The New York Post-Nobody with his
eyes open can have failed TO see the
very marked drift of intelligent public
sentiment, included that which opposed
the request for higher rates three years
ago, In favor of d more liberal policy

rewards"
G, D. Potter says: THE stock mar

regarding the Mexican situation. 1t
looks as II the unfavora BILE factors in
the situation have been pretty well dis
counted, and that prices are It a level,
where they will respond to any favor
able developments"
Reiteration Of reports that New Ha-
ven bond issue would be withdrawn by
directors appeared to be the cause for
new low record established to-day. In
regard to dividend question the belief
prevailed that the rate would be reduced
to per cent.
The short interest in the stock mar
ket seemed to be losing its nerve, but
bulls recognized necessity of preserving
strong technical conditions. which would
be impossible were the bears to rush
demoralized to cover.

The Argentine wheat crop last year
was estimated at 1888 600. 900 bushels

DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 12.-The cot
ton market opened firm with prices adj
vancing about points, the market con-
tinuing steady. Feeling here is bullish,
although traders are fully aware of the
spirit in New York toward further re-
action to improve technical conditions
Much depends on how much more
liquidation can be gotten in that mar
ing spot prssur, which is corrct to
some extent, is undoubtedly applied too
generally.
Judging by the protest from many To-
calitis against the statement and the
refusal of bids on the basis of the low er
futures, holders are in a better position
than believed Indeed the majority
should have realized enough on the por-
ton Of the crop sold TO defend the bal
ance
Trading and conversation reflect the
widely current opinion that the present
reaction is looked upon as preparatory
to bullish activity after a while, and as
an opportunity on which to buy to bet
, ter advantage
The universal expectations that the
census report ON November q will give
very large Ginnings for the period from
November ] TO IA, is the principal cause
of Withholding support, and this fur
nished an opportunity for recent bear
operations. But il is also well known
that the weather during last two periods
was SO perfect for harvesting that gin
nings to November IA are likely to rep
resent a greater percentage of the to-
tai. In fact, reports are rapidly becom-
ing more numerous, particularly from
the Western States, that this ginning
period will wind up matters in many To-
Calities.
The spot market is quiet at quotations.
Some find a little better tone TO It.
There is no real pressure TO sell, but
II looks as il buyers are holding off,
possibly counting on a bearish census
10 get IN somewhat cheaper.

COTTON SCARS AS
SPOT PEOPLE BUY
Talk of Drastic Revision of Grade
Differences and Rebuying by
Bulls Caused FirmneSS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12-As was to
have been expected after the severe
break of over 81 a bale Tuesday, the
cotton market opened steady to-day with
hrst prices ! off to 3 points higher than
last nights close. Immediately after
the opening there was some repurchas-
ing by sold-out bulls, while shorts were
inclined TO cover and 1t was the opin-
ION that spot people absorbed most OF
me offerings, which were rather free,
Memphis authority would issue a
prominent spot house would issue d
crop estimate around $4,000 900 bales.
The effect of this, which was very lit
tie, soon wore off on account of the bull
ish estimate of 13, 800 900 bales and con-
sumption of 1i.750.00 bales issued by
Mel Bros. of London.
This brought out fresh demand
from spot interests ana checked offer
ing, resulting in rapid advance of to
Ii points from the opening range, which
was hrmly maintained during the late
forenoon by the prediction of unsettled
rainy weather coming in the next two
days in the Western and Central States.
Liverpool was little better than due
but responded fairly well to the severe
decline here yesterday. Nevertheless,
local sentiment continues bearsh and
there is disposition of the part of ring
traders to sell on all rallies.

The market was so that trading lapsed
into stagnation during the afternoon,
being only a scalpers' affair The err

people continue friendly to the market
on the idea of drastic revision of grade
differences, in that the low grade will
hardly be made deliverable only at con-
sidrabl concessions than at pres
ent, This is chief factor in the firm
ness of the market.
