COTTON

New York. November 19.-The cot
 ton market showed continued strength
 today with all deliveries making new
 high records for the season. January
 contracts sold at 27.95c, or fully $4
 per bale above the low price touched
 on the break Of Friday and 1T points
 above Saturdays finad quotation.
 That delivery closed at 27.91c with
 the general list closing firm at a net advance of 36 to 49 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 25 to 3S points on trade buy ing of near months and a renewal of the covering movement which had been in progress on Saturday, Liverpool was also a good buyer and the initial advance carried prices up to 2S.61c for December and 27.6Sc for March, CT about 40 to 50 points net higher Of ferings increased at this level. In ad . dition to realizing attracted by the new high prices there also appeared to be some southern selling while the demand from trade sources tapered off. The buying appeared again, however, on reactions of some 15 to 20 points from the best, with the market show ing renewed strength and recovering to about the high point of the morn ing in the late afternoon.
 The liberal exports for the day and the very moderate volume of southern selling were factors on the late ad vance when sentiment may also have been influenced by the strong tone of | the stock market. It was reported early that members of the Memphis cotton exchange estimate the crop at 10,732,000 bales on the average. Later 1 it was rumored that preliminary re- turns to a southern authority indicated | yield of 11,147,0 900 bales both fig | ures being exclusive of linters. The | trade buying here was accompanied by reports that domestic manufacturers were buying hedges against sales ot heavy goods to the government.

Over w. E. Campbelrs Wire

New Orleans, November 19.--Cotton stood at a moderate advance today, ac- tivity and firmness around the opening giving way to irregularity later on. Heavy buying featured early trading but in the afternoon the market ap- peared to be marking time on the pend ing bureau report on ginning, due the first thing Wednesday. While the bear view last week was that this report was bound to favor the short side, less cock sure opinions in that direction are now being obtained, Before the session was very old. prices were 25 to 37 points up
 The favorite explanation for much of buying, given on the bull side is that mills are taking hold of contracts In a large way, hedging themselves against their wants ahead. This view is leading 10 the opiEion that much cotton will he demanded on contracts as the season wears on Saturday will be first notice day for December in this market and Monday wil be first notice day in New York. Tn some quarters large tenders are thought likely in this market, but the small ccrtihcated stock in New York would appear to be issued there Some lain fell in est over Sunday but hardly enough to make any impression on the drouth and the outlook is that fair wealth. CT will follow the rams. No bearish arguments of conseq'iencc ai. p.tsenting themselves and the situation is as strong as ever. with natural setbacks the market looks higher Shepard & Gluck.
