New Orleans Cottop

New Orleans. October 20.-After a mo- mentary advance on the opening today, the cotton market here felt considerable selling pressure. partly from realizing longs and partly from the bear element which based its offerings on expectations of reaction from the prolonged up- ward movement The early advance amounted to 1 to points. From thls there was a break. which late in the session put the market to a decline or 4 to P points under yesterdays last prices. The close showed net losses ot 19 to 27 points.
 The cold weather over the belt kept tho tone steady at the decline and much bullish comment was aroused by reports of continued strong demand for spots in the interior at the highest prices of the season. Some points in the east ern belt wires that spots were bringing 2Sc and more pound, and that receipts were light at this level
 Weather conditions did not weigh strongly against the reactionary ten dency of the market, chiefly because of the contention among a considera ble ele- ment that all the damage possible due to cold already had been suffered by the crop.

Stocks displayed a most satisfactory tone yesterday Shipping shares steels, and other stocks which would be likely to participate in the forthcoming war orders were the leaders. Rails. which have been dead lately. and even the cop per stocks, shared in the general and decided reversal of sentiment, though to lesser degree. No doubt there will be kickbacks caused by some unfavorable development, winch is bound to occur dur ing these trying times, but the mysteries are over and there will be a gra dual buy ing back of stocks which were sacrificed few days ago. Banks are cautious about speculative loans and this will put brake on any too much enthusiasm on the part of bulls, but there should be g. gradual and steady enhancement of prices all along the line.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

Two distinct factors were apparent in the market. One was the buying by New England and southern mills, while the selling came from several traders who have been long and are reported to have sold through Wall street houses and taking the short side on the belief that the crop cannot be marketed at these prices. A crop estimate of 12,ss5, ,oO0 bales, issued by the national ginners, compared with crop last season of f, : 966.00o, both including linters. Spinners' takings last season were 136c0.0O0 bales, and the visible supply of American co.- ton at the end of the season was 1.350,- 900 bales. Quite a short interest has been created during the past week.

Opinions

New York-Hutton: We would advise
 waiting for setback of cent or two before making purchases.
 Carpenter-There was heavy liquidation or long cotton and the question rises whether the operators who have taken profits will hold back for an opportunity to get back on decline or whether they will take the short side on the belief that the worst Is known on the crop and that no bull influence Is likely to come up to give the market another upturn.
 New Orleans-Kofler: Foreign news continues unfavorable. particularly from Russia. Rubles quoted at New York yesterday as low as 141a.
 Chronicle says cotton harvesting da- layed by cold weather over the belt
 General trade reviews say with tho steadily widening influence Of the war. business encounters many new problems and obstacles and not all reports regard Ing It's condition are Of the same tenor. Of the competitive and excited bidding which was so conspicuous year ago, there is now wholesome absence and the tendency to greater conservatism Is pronounced.
 New York-Pynchon: Pending more definite weather developments we advise the exercise of extreme caution in all transactions

 After long period of intense bullish activity technical defects are sure tc have been created and the very fact of discounts on the distant positions show doubt of the future. Advices from New York say that leading operators are lr favor of reaction.

 What cotton that is absolutely needed, of course, must be bought at high prices, but this quantity Is small in proportion Ito the amount of supply at present available Near months are liable to hold or increase their premium with this situation.

America Faces Hardship and Suffer

on hardship and sacrifice. can be pre-
served only by sacrifice and suffer
ing. External struggle is the price Of
liberty" declared Elihu Root. head Of

a luncheon attended by more than g.
900, rendered the former secretary Of
state and his associates on their re-
turn to the United States.
1.-THE first and greatest test is not
between the troops Of Germany and
those of our country" Mr.. Root said,
"but between the great and noble
qualities of the American nature and
those degenerating tendencies which
come with luxury and tend to kill

The address of Mr.. Root and others
who spoke dealt vigorously and feel
ingly on the tremendous scope of the
task which the United States faces
and the need for casting aside petty
differences for united action against
Americas foe. They were unanimous
in declaring that Russia. in bitter ira
