FINANCE
Decided Progress Toward General
Resumption, Of Business Noted
In Situation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Decided
progress towards the resumption OF
regular business was noted in the
general financial situation today. An
nouncement that the Cotton Exchange
Is TO reopen for free and unrestrict-
ed trading next Monday afternoon
was followed by limitations from
high banking quarters OF the probable
re-opening of the Stock Exchange at
the beginning OF the new year. In
cidentally memberships on both ex-
changes were held today at prices
materially higher than those quoted a
few weeks ago.
There were Jther distinct lndica-
tons OF Improvement. including fur
they heavy retirement of emergency
currency. additional advances in most
of the bonds and stocks quoted by the
several markets now in operation. and
an advance in the price Of copper
metal.
II was believed that the resumption
Of business by the Cotton Exchange
would exercise an immediate and ra-
vorable influence over the foreign
exchange situation. inasmuch as IL is
bound TO make for extensive exports
of cotton to Liverpool. thereby speed
lily reducing American debts in Lon
don. II Is within the range OF pToba-
bilities that the 500, 900 900 gold pool
devised by the country's leading n
nancial interests TO ameloriate for
eign exchange will be dissolved soon
after the expected cotton export
movemen [ gets under way.
Exchange Recovered

its decline OF yesterday. ruling about
a cent higher TO the pound. Exchange

gardless OF a probable cash loss by
the clearing house banks for the
week. More favorable business con-
ditions were disclosed in the weeks
bank clearings, which showed gains
with the corresponding periods OF the
last two years.
General business continued to man
fest a waiting attitude. but returns
from textile interests were more
cheerful. Some large plants in steel
and allied industries. are preparing.
according to report, TO resume active
