COTTON STRIKES
 UPWARD TRAIL
Varied Reports Affect the Market From Opening to
 Closing Session

New York; November 23.-Reports of continued trade buying and the crcula- tion of small crop estimates caused an other sharp advance in the cotton market today and new high records were es- tablished. January sold up from 2S.27c to 2S.7oc and closed at 2S.52c, with the general list closing steady at net ad- vance of 19 to 27 points
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to Il points in sympathy with higher European cables, but met re- newal of yesterdays selling movement. This came largely from Wall street and local sources and was again accompanied by talk of an easier spot basis in the south. Offerings were absorbed on a decline of about to 6 points under last nights closing figures, however, and the market turned firmer on reports that the spot basis had stiffened during the progress of the reaction, and that trade interests were again buying against for ward sales of goods. Covering by re- cent sellers became active as prices worked higher, and the demand seemed to be stimulated by the publication of a local crop estimate placing the yield at 0,500000 bales without lnterr. or at 11700,000 bales with linters Stop loss or ders were uncovered as the market worked into new high ground with De- cember selling up to g. 15c while March advanced to 2S. 39c and May to 2S20c, making a net advance of p to 40 points on the general list. The advance was then checked by realizing. with the close showing reactions of some 10 to 19 points. Reports of lower official marine war risk rates may have encouraged the early aft ernoon advance hut the talk was chief ly of firm spot situation, and the buy ing by trade interests on declines. Re ports from the dry goods trade indicated a good demand for forward delivery, particularly in the matter of bleached goods, and manufacturers were supposed to be hedging such sales with purchases of futures.

New Orleans Cottnn

New Orleans, November 23-Cotton stood at the advance throughout the ses- sion here today. reaching it's highest lev els in the carry afternoon, when the market stood 31 to S5 points up, and clos- ing at net gain of 20 to 2 points. The continued favorable tone of war news was the main bullish influence Most active months made new high records and December sold up to 27.90c
 In the early trading prices gained about 10 points, but fell off from this to nearly the level of yesterdays close under liquidation, seemingly inspired by the fact that tomorrow is first notice day for December tenders in this market. On the decline good demand developed and a quick recovery resulted and from then on the market showed decided steadiness. Highest levels were reached following the spotsing of the weekly statistics, which showed unexpectedly large mill takings -437 900 bales.
 Reports that the war risk rate on Amer ican vessels had been reduced and a pri- vate crop estimate of 10,5o00O0 bales. not including linters, were supporting influ- ences Spot accounts were copflieting. but no real weakness was apparent in this direction. Local spots were un- changed at 2S.50c for middling.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-11-24

while unfavorable news such as the Russian lay-down, Italian reverses, re- striction of exports due to scarcity of shipping, unexpectedly large number of sinkings this week, are ignored. The trend of the market appears to be toward higher levels, as there seems to be no letup in the demand for contracts by Liverpool and domestic trade inter ests, but it must be remembered that 2S12c for January cotton can hardly be regarded as cheap.-E. F. Hutton & Co.
 Chieago-Cash corn starts unchanged, but tone easy. Some cash men think the 80 and 90-cent stuff will sell down to the level of the poorest sorts.-Bab- cock.
 Chicago-Commission house oats for sale at 69c, but crowd doing the selling below that. Tone still firm, though volume of demand is smaller Cash oats follow the advance.-Ba bcock.
 New York-Y esterdays' relapse was simply selling out by people who bought stocks expecting a quick rise. The ex- tra dividend by Lackawanna Steel is a forerunner of others. Very few peo- pie expected Baldwin to declare a divi- dend at this time. Railroad news is favorable. People are beginning at last to notice the imitation
 curing through the issuance of govern ment notes. It is bound to have its eff feet on securities. So far it has af- fects only mmodities.-Hutton.

Bradstreet's Review

New York, November 23-Brad- streets tomorrow will say:
 More cheerful feeling, probably born of the reported success of the allied arms oversea, apparent completition of stock market liquidation heavy governmental buying, the return of liberty loan money into circulation, 30 cent cotton, unrestricted ordering by the excellenfly situated surplus crop zones, record high bank clear ings, and superanimated activity in most industrial lines turning out es- sentials of war are factors that cas- fly eclipse any tagging tendencies that prevail. In a number of lines and more especially in the cast, buying for civilian account perforce reflects pause, this being largely due to the fact that the governments wants re- ceive preference.
 Yet in the face of conservatism normal wants are sufficient to make up relatively large volume and sig nificantly enough parts of the west southwest and most of the south dis : close the best trade movements and collections ever experienced, demand being for immediate as well as for distant delivery.

BACKWARDNESS OF

U. S. Steel Advanced to 9S 1-4-CalI Money at Low
 est Rate of the Week

New York, November 23--BaclSward ness of rails, despite assurances that no strike will be called by the broth erhoods, was the outstanding feature of today's moderate business on the stock exchange. Other shares were dis posed, after early hesitation. to sup plement advances of the midweek, but encountered occasional opposition
 Foreign affairs were less in the foreground, although another violent break in Italian exchange to a dis count approaching 45 per cent cre- ated increased apprehension respect ing the outcome of impending events in that country.
 Trading was accompanied by fre- auent intervals of extreme dullness, but the monotony of the session was relieved by intermittent activity of pools in various specialties at gross gains of to points.
 Stable industrials, including equip ments of the war division, again fluc- tuated within restricted limits but ot- fered more resistance to pressure, United States Steel. for example, mounting steadily in the last hour to 9SA, a net gain of IA points Lack awanna Steel and Republic Iron were unusually active at extreme advances of 3% and 5A points, respectively
 Industrial Alcohol, the motors, oils, tobaccos, feathers, shippings and Vest ern Union participated rather uneven- 1y a gross gains of 1 to 4 points, but shaded toward the close on realizing sales in Marine preferred and motor issues.
 Call money was at it's lowest rate of the week, declining from 3ls to 2a per cent for loans over the week end on forecasts of a favorable bank statement.

Weekly Cotton Statement

NeW fOfk, NONemDer 23.--Ihe cotton market has shown continued strength during the past week and prices have again established new high records for the season. The reactions caused by un- founded rumors that the question of con : trolling prices was being considered at Washington were quickly recovered, and fresh buying stimulated by reports of a good spot demand, reiteration of small crop estimates and a belief that contracts sold on declines were going into the hands of trade interests. The announce ment that the British government had allotted 10000 tons of shipping for the im- portation of cotton during December compared with 25,O00 tons for November, encouraged estimates of increased ex- ports, while reports from the dry goods trade indicated a continued good do- nestle demand for forward delivery. These reports were accompanied by pur- chases of spring deliveries for the ac- count of trade interests around the ring here, suggesting that spinners were hedg- ing their sales of goods in the contract markets and there was broadening of outside demand on the news of British victories in France. This was followed by realizing when the market sold through the 2S1ac level for January con- tracts on Thursday morning. but offer lnSS were aDsorped on reactions or 70 or 30 points, and the best prices of the week and season were reached during to- days trading when January sold at 2S.70c, compared with 27.14c at the close of the previous Friday. There were re- ports of an easier spot basis on the mid week advance, which led to talk that the south was selling more freely at the higher level, but this mornings advices from the interior indicates that the basis had firmed up following the decline in futures. The census report published on Wednesday morning showed s,559. .39o baies ginned to November A. and failed to modify crop ideas to any material ex- tent. Members of the Memphis cotton exchange estimate the crop on the aver age at 10,7S20O0 bales, excluding linters, and local estimate published today made it 10,500,00o bales, excluding linters. or 1,7OO, GOO for the total growth

Coffee Market

New York, November 23.-The market for coffee futures showed rather reac- tionary tendency today. particularly dur ing the earlier trading. It seemed that recent advances had been sufficient to bring out some realizing or little trade selling, and after opening at decline of to points, active months sold about to points net lower December touched 6S0e and May 7.25c. but at this level the market steadied on covering and reports of a steadier cost and freight situation. The close was net point higher to point lower Closing bids December 6S6c: January. 6.95c; March, 713c; May 729c: July. 7.47c; September, 7.65c.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, November 23.-(special.) The market today ruled firm, advanc- ins to the highest level on record on the reiteration of small crop estimates which indicate lint yield of less than 1Os4. It is now currently estimated the inter crop will be about 100000 bales. As the market reached higher prices we again note that cotton comes out which had been held for this advance Natu- rally with the difficulties of transpor- tatioa and of export the basis falls down which accounts for reports we received of lower basis. There is, ot course, little or no short interest, ex- cepting against cotton in one shape or another as the reports of short yield have more influence than the difficult ties of exporting the crop which are known to comparatively few.
