Reserve Banks and Cotton Exchanges Open
COTTON CONFIDENCE
AS EXCHANGE OPENS
To-day One Of Most Momentous
in History Of New York
Trading.
OLD DECEMBER PROSPECTS

II 4. generally conceded that to-day will
be one OF the most momentous in the his
tory OF the New York Cotton Exchange.
Fortunately. Developments at Its reopenlng
are anticipated with confidence. The ef-
ncient work done by tho conference COM
mittee in the formation OF syndicate
dlsposes OF the problem OF liquidation OF
speculative long cotton and all likelihood
OF financial troubles. which until recently
were regarded as menace. seems TO have
been eliminated. There Ia some talk OF
voluntary liquidation by certain Arms
later on, but tho integrity OF their commit
ments has been absolutely preserved. It
Is said
There are various conjecturse as 20 the
price at which the market will open, but
these are unimportant Under the plans
made by the conference committee the
syndicate will assume the burden OF un-
llauidsted long cotton at the moment the
price OF December touches $50 cents or
below. A great deal OF this cotton has al
ready been disposed OF. Fully 10000 bales
have been sold above $50 and the re-
msinder can be easily absorbed. The
fina ncial guarantee to the banks that have
extended their aid is far in excess OF re-
quiremcnts.
There IL a possibility that some OF those
who are not well informed may be unduly
anxious TO Sell their holding OF old De-
cember contracts, according TO a semi
official statement yesterday. Such an ac-
ton. I. was said. would be the result Of
ignorance. for the reason that old De-
cember Is not going begging. It has
distinct value in relation to the later
positions
THE Sun Is informed on the best Of
authority that the maximum difference
between old December and January OF the
new contracts il not over 50 points. This
maximum difference is figured as follows:
A carrying charge OF 10 points and a care

value OF Old and new contracts OF %

There is first rate authority also FOR the
statement that the most powerful interests
on the market are prepared TO take care
OF the entire local stock Of cotton on the
basis Of a difference OF 80 points between
old December and new January. For this
reason those holders OF old December who
fear that they may he ultimately swamped
with actual cotton should bear IN mind the
