Cotton

The general trend of cotton prices
was upward during the early part OF
the session, but in the later trading
most Of the advance was lost. The
upward movement of from 20 TO 20
points carried December to 2O42c,
January to 20.5Sc, March to 2O.8lc,
May to 2lc and July TO 2O.99c. The
erratic action of the market was not
difficult to account for, inasmuch as
business was confined largely to scalp
inc operations, and, moreover. there
was a somewhat general disposition to
"even up" over the holiday
Indeed, the market was generally de-
scribed as holiday affair, with trad
ing on a much smaller scale. and
largely professional in character. Not
withstanding the great irregularity, 1t
seemed evident that cotton traders, IN
keeping with operators in other mar
kets, had recovered TO large extent
from the Generalization of Tuesday.
This was traceable largely to a more
hopeful feeling regarding our inter-
national relations.
Prices advanced somewhat sharply
Immediately after tame opening, and
il was quite evident that many of the
local crowd, as we'll as the Wall Street
interests, who had sold freely on
Tuesdays break, were anxious to
cover.
Foreign advices were again encour-
aging. Liverpool was about as easy
as expected during the early session,
but made full recovery toward the
close. Moreover, British buying Of
distant futures in our market greatly
outweighed their selling of nearby de-
liveries. An active local trader bought
10000 bales of January, supposedly
for the uptown party. and big trade
houses we're also good buyers Of jan
usry, although they sold March and
July.
Southern spot firms bought January,
March, May and July, while specula-
tors in New Orleans and Memphis also
sent many buying orders. There were
numerous small recessions, which were
chargeable largely to heavy profess
sional selling, believed TO be for both
long and short account. The squirt
which carried prices to top levels was
brought about by rumor that the Ma
tional Ginners' Association would
place the quantity ginned for the
period at only $4,000 bales. This
stimulated renewed buying for Wall
Street account, but the advance was
met by decidedly free selling of cot
ton bought on Tuesdays big break.
This pressure, coupled with some pro-
fessional short selling, caused the 30
point break on the late trading. from
which there was a rally Of about ten
points just before the close on pre-
holiday covering by local shorts.
Southern spot news was firm in the
main, although New Orleans reported
a decline Of &c, with sales of LAG
bales at 20hc, while Norfolk sales
were 532 bales at 1870, decline OF
re.

Hence, the action OF the markets yes

traces still remained OF Tuesdays pre-

evident that the hysteria had abated

gradually assuming a more normal
condition.
As was to be expected. there was
some accumulation Of belate6 liqui-
dating orders, and momentarily these
caused depression. but most OF the time
the trend was upward and substantial
gains were recorded at the close.
Among many experienced traders the
opinion had prevailed that the big
drop had been more than sufficient,
and hence the idea was quite general
that some recovery was in order. This
belief was strengthened in part by the
fact that British quotations showed
no change In the face Of our weakness.

With more excitement in steel-mak-

many years. iron and steel markets
have gone on advancing, says The Iron
Age" Rassemer iron went up 50 ana
basic iron 81 a ton in the last week, as
easily as they advanced 81 in recent
weeks.

Rail buying for 1918 at $40 a. ton
above the price at which most OF the
1917 deliveries will be made is ALREADY
active. At Chicago upward of 2OO'OOO
tons was closed, including $1,000 tons
for the New York Central and $1,000
tons for the Chicago & Northwestern
and a subsidiary. With other New York
Central purchases, it's total IS between
100000 and $4,000 tons. The Penn
sylvania Railroad is expected to place
about 205, 900 tons.
Car orders increase in the face OF
nearly 100 per cent advance in the price
of cars. This month nearly 10000 cars
have been placed, making a total Of
about 10000 since September l, as
against 10000 for the whole year up TO
September. Shipyard inquiry is over
