Charles Fairchild & Co.,a Letter


 New ork, January II-(Spiecial )-The weak Liverpool and humors of German raiders off the South American coast and destruction of 22 British vessels, caused an easier opening in our market. The opening decline of about 20 points was followed by moderate rally, which how ever, encountered resumption of local selling and prices broke sharply, May de- clining to 17.26c and July to IT PFC One of the largest of local shorts was credited with having covered large line around these figures. The market thereafter was a nervous, narrow up and down affair up to the closing hour, when short cov- ering and considerable local buying caused a rally Of about points from the morn ing's low figures.
 We think the market is entitled to good rally and favor purchases on all moderate setbacks from tonights closing prices. Cotton cannot be shipped to New York for delivery without heavy loss and we believe the disparity between futures and spots will be adjusted by an advance in the former rather than a decline in the latter. Liverpool is believed to be heavily short in this market. Altogether to our minds, the outlook is more favor able for an advance than decline.
 Well protected purchases we think will show large profits ultimately This is 8 year when losses on the long side can be attributed only to inability or unwilling ness to protect holdings. We look for higher prices eventually than any yet seen Meantime We believe that patience will prove a virtue that will bring it's own reward.

RESTRAINT MARKED STOCKS YESTERDAY
Russian and Italian Ex- ? change Register Greatest : Discount During War

New York, January 11-New low rec crds for Russian and Italian exchanges which registered the greatest discounts since the outbreak of the war, the re- ported activities of German raiders in South American waters causing marine insurance to amount to prohibitive rates, and the conservative tone of steel trade authorities, were among the influences which made for restraint in. today's irreg- ular market.
 The acute weakness of remittances to PetrogTad and Rome. rubles being quoted at 2905 and fires at 69S was attributed by dealers in foreign exchange to the in- ability or refusal of those countries to meet the requirements of our bankers The recent sharp decline in Russian gov ernment bonds on the curb also ac- counted for the depreciation of the ruble.
 Uncertain price changes were scored at the opening of the market the only note worthy attenuation being in Bethlehem Steel, which rose points to 476, but re- acted to 440 in the final hour. The rever- sal was accompanied by reports affect ing the company's policy of expansion ard next weeks dividend action.
 There was general rally during the first hour but this gave way to variable declines in the afternoon. United States Steel which at one time showed slight gain over the previous day, closed at a loss of almost ? points, with one to for other active industrials, coppers, equip ments munitions and shippings and Az. for Industrial Alcohol, the most cratic of the specialties.
 The activity of pools was observed in the temporary strength of motor issues, Maxwell making an extreme gain Of 5s4, with for General Motors and 2sz for Studebaker. Various miscellaneous issues also derived their impulse from profes- sional sources.
 Rails moved with the current. Pacifics. coalers and New Haven sagging 1 to points on light offerings. although minor issues like Rock Island and Missouri Pa cifc were firm, when not actually strong. Total sales amounted to 755,000 shares.
 Steadiness ruled in the limited bond dealings international issues showing less activity. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated s, 360, GOO.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Would Substitute Leather

New York, January 17.-To cut the high cost of shoes the use of proven substi- tutes for leather is recommended in a report adopted by the National Boot and Shoe Manufacturers association. now in session here. Rubber and fibre soles. and a new paper composition for uppers are among the substitutes said to be at tracting most attention from manufac- turers. Efforts also are being made to popularilze colored cloth tops. which like wise will effect a saving of leather.

Avery's Letter

Today's market was a combination of sea raiders and bear raiders, with the consequence that the latter, with the aid of the former. managed to sell cotton prices off nearly 8 a bale
 Spot prices were marked off in a great many places, but were in no wise commensurate with the declining futures and probably represented the concessions on hedged cotton.
 A prominent exporter in talk with me today pointed out the declining Liverpool stock and the difficulty that the Englishmen have in getting cot ton and predicted Liverpool would lead the advance from now on. He fur ther calls attention to a good in- quiry from the Carolina mills and un- precedented scarcity in first hands
 A telegram from New Orleans today stated it was rumored that the Liv- erpool market will not be allowed to trade except for actual deliveries. This, together with the above facts, would suggest that the only recourse the English spinners have to assure them selves for theii. needs would be to buy in the American future markets.
 The market is extremely sensitive to political developments and I advise scalping position. rather favoring the bull side in view of the strong technical position. c. F. AVERY
