Cotton

With trading confined almost en-
tircly to the local professional element
cotton prices declined Is to 20 points
under heavy liquidation. Wall Street
interests participated to some extent,
not only throwing over further long
lines. but in some cases taking a stand
on the short side. There was also
heavier selling for Southern account,
which was largely in keeping with less
encouraging news regarding the South
ern spot situation.
The general tone Of advices indicated
that nervousness prevailed IN most
Southern markets, where holders were
showing more disposition 10 sell. Tele-
grams from the Carolinas. for instance,
stated that cotton was accumulating at
the mills and that offerings we're some
what more liberal Reports that the
labor situation at Fall River seemed to
be getting worse. which naturally sug-
gested a material decrease IN consump-
ton. also tended TO encourage sellers
Much of the time the leading bull in
terests seemed content TO let prices
sag, and il was believed that some Of
them were only waiting until the Wall
street and uptown spectators have
established fairly large short inter
est. Tho idea prevails that after this
short interest has been formed and
prices have sold off TO still lower levels
the original bulls will again become
aggressive on the buying side For
this reason practically the only support
yesterday came from spot interests,

Fude

The opening Of Japan has brought
many new trades. but it has driven
others out Of existence One hsndi-
craft which is making a long but
losing fight is that Of making fude, or
writing brushes. II might have been
expected to increase. seeing that eduea'
tion is ten times as prevalent as in the
old days, but the steel pen and the lead
pencil are formidable competitors and
with their vulgar efficiency are gradn'
ally making the use Of fudc obsolete
In the primary schools Young Japan s
taught to WELD the brush but no the
middle schools they care but little FOR
the elegance of the Chinese style Of
writing, and the modern steel pen Is
much in evidence Bulletin OF 'h'

scale down.
At times the decline was checked by
bullish statistical advices. According
TO one authority. the consumption Of
cotton in this country during the crop
year will amount TO 100000 bales,
which, it is assumed, will leave only
100000 bales for export. or, roundly,
100000 bales less than exported last
year.
From another source a bullish crop
estimate was received, the total yield,
exclusive of linters, being placed at
1l,l67,000 bales. Momentarily steadi-
ness was also caused by unfavorable
advices as to the top crop in Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana. Expecta.
lions of larger export movement were
encouraged by reports from New Or
leans that war risk insurance had been
reduced y 10 per cent.

Wheat. Advances to new high record
price levels have become daily habit
in the domestic wheat market. The
record for December yesterday was
$3.50, or 3'sc above the previous record
established at the close on Friday, and
at the close the net advance was 2"sc
Meanwhile, May contracts advanced
less rapidly and closed 2lsc up. Ina
other words, the December premium
has widened TO 2'sc, against &c Friday
and lsc Thursday. II was highly in
teresting TO note that the great buoy
ancy in December was largely caused
by active buying by European agents
II came to light that they were led to
buy December freely because they
found il exceedingly difficult TO obtain
cash grain excepting at high premiums
1t is the prevailing opinion that for
eign agents will be more than willing
TO accept delivery on December con-
tracts when tenders are made. This
seems plausible, as even now cash
wheat is exceedingly scarce and diff
cult TO obtain, Notwithstanding the UNI
commonly high bids.
After reaching $l.S9 immediately al
ter the opening there was a sudden
break of l"sc, which was. attributed
mainly 10 heavy speculative selling, Il
being plain that many large holders
had displayed anxiety TO take in profits,
which was considered as wholly reason
able after such phenomenal upturn.
While many conservative dealers be-
lievc that the remarkable scarcity will
cause still further advances eventually,
nevertheless they feel that the advance
has been too rapid and too quick for so
early in the season. Hence, 10 would
cause no surprise should there be a
sharp recession. hut nevertheless they
considered it unsafe TO take per-
mancnt stand on the short side.
During the late trading the demand
became active again, and with offer
incs light the big rise occurred. Buy

Industrial
Metals

The production of copper 1T the
present time. says THE Engineering
and Mining Journal" is throttled chief
~ by deficiency in refining capacity
and 70 less extent by deficiency in
smelling capacity. There is as a re-
suit a congestion of crude copper that
cannot be refined and of ore that
cannot be smeited.
Some new producers are finding Il
difficult to dispose of their output,
according to this authority. Anybody
who has refining or smelling capacity
TO sell can get for it almost anything
that he chooses 10 ask.
I'VE have heard" says THE Journal"
"of smelling contracts recently made
at discount of cents a pound OF
copper. The ore producer is called
upon TO make a huge sacrifice, and may
resent il, unless he understands the
conditions. If he does understand the
conditions, he figures that it Is better
for him to sell his copper at - cents
pound than not to sell IL at all"
