PROBABLE REoPENINe
 OF STOCK EXCHANGE At the Beeinnin~. of the New Year Resumption of Regular Business Noted

New York, Nov. 13.-Decided prog ress towards the resumption of regul IT business was noted in the general financial situation today. Announce ment that the cotton exchange is to re- open for free and unrestricted trading next Monday was followed by intima- tions from high banking quarters of the probable reopening of the stock exchange at the beginning of the new year. Incidentally, memberships on both exchanges were sold today at prices materially higher than quoted a few weeks ago.
 There were other distinct indica- tions of improvement. including fur ther heavy retirements 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.
 It was believed that resumption If business by the cotton exchange would exercise an immediate and favorable influence over the foreign exchange situation, inasmuch as 1t is bound to make for extensive exports of cotton to Liverpool, thereby speedily reducing our debits in London. It is within ,he range of probabilities that the S100,- 100000 gold pool devised by the coun- try's leading financial interests to ac- celerate foreign exchange will be dis solved soon after the expected cotton export movement gets under way.
