ADJUSTMENT OF TRADE
DISPUTES PROGRESSES
Charges Against U. S. Exporting
Firms Being Investigated

Progress is being made in the ad-
iustment Of differences between certain
exporting firms in the United States
and their Argentine clients arising out
of alleged breaches Of contract on the
part Of the former. The recently APP
pointed arbitration committee IS at
work, and, according TO "The Review OF
the River Plate" the functions OF this
new body will not be exclusively hon
orary or ornamental.
This publication in its current num-
Der says "The Union Industrial" OF Ar
gentine, which made the charges against
the North American exporting houses,
claims to have satisfied the Buenos
Ayres branch of the National City Bank
of New York that they had ample JUS

adds: "The latter institution, we I'M
derstand, has taken up the matter en-
ergetically, with a view to exertirg its
powerful influence 10 remedy thls un-
desirable state of affairs. II would
appear that the institution Of CONNER

two nations concerned was, if not a
very intelligent anticipation Of proba-
ble developments. at least timely in

Susten ance
Cereals

Wheat.-The wheat market was a de-
cidedly two-sided affair, there being
many advances and recessions, indicat-
ing heavy liquidation trading for both
accounts. After an early advance of
Il to 39s, the latter in Winnipeg, mar
kets soon turned weak and declined
rapidly, Chicago December falling IN
but in the late trading the demand be-
came active again and sharp advance
occurred, with Chicago prices rising
23, TO 27s. In view of the rapid and
spasmodic fluctuations it was clear that
the market was controlled mainly by
speculative operations. 1t was also
evident that the general average price
level would have been somewhat higher
all session had it not been for heavy
profit taking by many holders for the
rise.
After an advance Of virtually Is
cents bushel during the week, it was
considered wholly natural for longs
to take in handsome profits. While
many conservative dealers anticipate
still higher figures later on, they feel
that the advance recently was too
rapid, and the market was in an over
bought condition, and therefore active
realizing was only natural, and espe-
cially in view Of the agitation for plac-
ing an embargo on exports from this
country. Doubtless this would have a
depressing effect upon bullish senti-
ment among so-called outsiders. II
might act in the opposite way upon
buyers for European account, as they
might buy with increased activity as
soon as they believed that an embargo
would be placed. In other words, they
would anticipate their requirements as
speedily as possible.
The advances that occurred carly in
tho session and later we're largely
ascribed to encouraging cables, Euro
pean markets being Influenced by an
extraordinary advance in Argentina,
the Buenos Ayres market being 6&
cents to IN higher. This was brought
about by enthusiastic speculative buy
ing as n result of the serious damage
TO the crop In that country, and espe-
cially in the North, where a near fail
ure has occurred. Still, there are
shrewd dealers who are not SO keen
about the foreign situation as they
were, realizing that wheat has become
more OF domestic affair. because we
have remaining only n small quantity
for export.
Buying was also stimulated partly
by continued light receipts at primary
points and particularly in the North

Cotton

To the disinterested observer the
further rise of 10 to II points In cot
ton prices had peculiar significance.
In short, il demonstrated clearly the
fallacy Of recent claims that prices
have been forced to present high lev
els chiefly by speculative manipula-
ton. That there are other factors
besides prominent bull leadership con-
tributing to the strength was made
evident by the continued buoyancy,
notwithstanding the absence of some
Of the most prominent Of the recent
buyers. 1t seemed evident that the
local ring crowd was still disposed to
play for a decline. They imagined
that the absence Of the big bull lead
ers afforded them an excellent oppor-
tunity to break the market. It Is
true that they succeeded in forcing a
decline Of about 20 points, but this
was only temporary and prices re-
bounded to the days highest levels
before the close.
At the outset buying orders were
fairly numerous, based almost wholly
on reports of light to heavy frost
practically all over the eastern and
central half Of the belt. Another buy
ing stimulus was the report Of the
National Ginners' Association, which
places the amount ginned up TO Oc-
tober 10 at 7,450,000 bales, whereas
early indications had been for about
100000 bales. This was said to in
dictate a crop Of ll,420,0O0, exclusive
Of linters, which was about 900. 900
bales smaller than the earlier indica-
tions. This early upturn brought out
further liquidation orders from com
mission houses and also encouraged
professional short selling.
II was noteworthy fact, however
that practically ell OF the cotton
thrown over by the local element was
promptly taken in by leading spot
houses, acting mostly for seaboard
mills. and the steady absorption by
those trade interests tended TO cool
the enthusiasm Of bear traders. and
many Of them endenvored to buy back
what they had sold, but they found
that the market was In a soldout con-
