MORE RESISTANCE AT NEW ORLEANS Cotton Market Acts as If Willing to Advance With a
 Little Encouragement

New Orleans, November 1s.-Improve. ment in tone and more resistance to sell ing pressure were shown by the cotton market today. At no time were prices under the level of yesterdays final figures and barring short period of easiness. the market acted as if willing to advance with little encouragement. Late in the session only a few orders to buy came in, but they were sufficient to hoist values to the highest of the day. The close was at a net gain of to 13 points.
 Cheerful reports from American mill points and rumors of large army contracts for cotton goods being let in this coun- try were bullish influences. They off set the poor spot markets of yesterday in the south.
 Bearish opinion was that increasing stocks would soon exert fresh pressure Bears pointed out that stocks at all ports were 1.o7S,S53 bales, while stocks at the principal towns in the interior were 5s0'029 bales more. Total foreign exports from the first of the season up to to- night were 1004, ,035 bales, and bulls claimed that forward export commitments were largely responsible for the piling up of stocks on the seaboard and at shipping points in the interior

COFFEE HOLSTERS
 DISCUSS TRADE
Final Session of Association Given Over to Analyzing Industrial
 Conditions

New Orleans November 1a.-The final session of the convention of the National Coffee Roasters' association here tonight developed into a discussion of trade con ditions and possibilities held out to for eign traders by the federal reserve board. These discussions were led by Oscar B. McGlasson. president of the National Wholesale Grocers association, and Ed ward N. Hurley, vice president of the Illinois Manufacturers association.
 Mr, Hurley told the coffee men that they no longer would be compelled to depend upon London exchange to finance their dealing with Brazil from whom they purchase sSo0oo.ooo worth of coffee year. and produced telegram from Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo to prove his assertions.
 MT McAdoo said in this message that American merchants. if they Insist on financing their importations and exporta- tions through American banks, can easily do so. These acceptances already have a market fin New York, where they arc eagerly sought for at 4ia per cent and have even sold as low as per cent" according to the message from MT. Mo- Adoo.
 Mir. NcGlasson saw in the proposed federal trade commission a wonderful op- portunity for the business man engaged in smaller lines of trade. He predicted that it would equalize business oppor- tunity and prove a general boon to 'hons est business.

STEADY TONE IN
 COTTON MARKET
Decline in Prices Sufficient to Shut Out Hedge Selling
 for the Time Being

New York, November 1e.-The action of today's cotton market served to strengthen the impression created in local circles yesterday that the scatter ing long interest in old December con- tracts had been pretty well Iquldated and that the decline in prices had been sufficient to shut out hedge selling for the time being. At any rate, offerings were comparatively limited and the market ruled generally steady with the close steady, net unchanged to 9 points higher
 Liverpool reported small steady market with prices to 1 points higher at the hour of the local opening. and the start here was steady, 1 point low CT to points higher. It very quickly developed that there was very little cotton for sale and prices improved on a scattering investment demand or cov- ering. December contracts sold at T.0S, or about IS points above the low level of yesterday. and g points net higher. while new style contracts sold about 2 to 12 points above yesterdays closing figures. It was very narrow market. however. and subsequent fluctuations were more or less irregular, although the close was within a point or two of the best on most positions.
 Prominent spot interests are credited with having purchased December con tracts recently sold by scattering longs with the intention of holding for high CT prices or accepting actual deliveries. but local traders anticipated that Sat urdays figures will show ginning re- port of slightly over 11,000,000 bales. and the presence of such a large supply in the south promotes caution on the buying side of the market.

 AMERICAN WOMAN

Washington November 19.-Official announcement of the award of the grand cross of the Order of Elizabeth by Emperor Franz Joseph to Mrs. Fred . erick c.

 The Emperor has conferred on Mrs. Penfield the grand cross of the Order of Elizabeth. The newspapers empha- size the importance of this distinction as conferred for the first time on lady not connected with the imperial family, and show appreciation of the extra ordinary personal merits of Mrs. Pen field which brought about her decora- ton on account of her care for the sol diers."

Fruits and produce are now meeting with a good retail demand in Birming- ham, and with the beginning of cold weather there has been decided improve ment in meat sales in this city.

REVERSAL IF PLAN
 CAME ASSURPR|S
Flood of Liquidation Feared If N. Y. Stock Exchange :.
 Were Reopened

New York, November 19.-An unex- pected reversal of the definite plan to reopen the stock exchange on Saturday for trading in bonds was the most note worthy incident in the financial district today. Reasons given for the annull- ment dealt mainly with the unprepared- ness of certain large bond and invest ment houses to meet the proposed sit uation, which 1t was feared, might pro- yoke a flood of liquidation from foreign and domestic sources.
 There also was reason to believe re- sumption of bond dealings at such short notice had aroused unexpected opposi- tion from influential banking quarters. It has long been known that the most powerful financial interests have ex- pressed their disapproval of any re- newal of local operations, even on re- stricted basis, until conditions abroad, chiefly in London, assume a more nor nal aspect
 It was significant of the situation as a whole that prices. in the markets now in operation suffered material declines earlier in the day. Some listed stocks traded in without the sanction of tho exchange declined from to points, and according to trustworthy reports most of the offerings were in the form of foreign owned certificates.
 Developments otherwise were mainly encouraging, the money market evinc- ing further ease, with a lowering of the rate for commercial paper Ex- change on London was firmer and an advance in France was noted. There was reaction in both markets, how ever, when the demand waned.
 Further advances in copper and lead suggested better demand for those products, although the home consump- ton continued at low ebb. Reports that several railroads were negotiating for new equipment, including the Hartman and Hill lines, accentuated the better feeling in that industry. One impor- tant railway report for October, that of the Southern Pacific, was submitted It showed net loss of $S53,000. The re- ports of minor roads disclosed heavy gross decreases.

Hubbard Bros.'s Letter

New York. November 19.-- -(Special.) Liverpool and Manchester believe they will be able to buy cotton at much lower levels as is shown by the small difference between this market and Liverpool, which Is less than for many years. Here our spinners are also act ing on the idea that the south will de- cline again to the low prices of early October and then they will be able to buy at least a years supply. In this market there is slow investment de- mand on all declines. increasing in volume but not willing to follow any advance. This demand has been taking over the long cotton which had been held while the exchange was closed. Judging from the action of the mar ket this supply Is about exhausted. Liverpool or the south may begin to hedge here and the market is watch ing closely to see if they will do so.

WHEAT RALLIES
 FROM A SETBACK
Falling Off in Receipts at Western Primary Points
 the Cause

Chicago, November 1s.-Sharp falling off in receipts at western primary points helped to rally wheat today from setback due to lower quotations at Liverpool. There was a steady close at the same as last night to decline of shade. Corn lost Is e i4 to E d ss e net, and oats 1-16c. Provisions finished at range varying from soc down to a rise of 17ibc.
 Best prices for wheat were in the last hour, when the market went lac above last night, largely because of attention to statements that western primary arrivals for the last seven days were 4,S00,o00 bushels less than for the preceding seevn days.
 Cold weather increased rural offers of corn and brought good deal of sell ing pressure on the December option.
 Oats held comparatively steady ow- ing to the smallness of receipts.
 For the Most part provisions were stronger as result of covering by shorts.
 Future quotations were as follows:
