Cotton Goods Review

New York, November 15.-Twice dur. ing the past week the rule forbiddins price movement of more than 200 points in any one day. has been, exer. cised in the cotton market First oi Tuesday when prices broke POO points under active aggressive selling, and again today when all months sold POO points above Thursdays closing figures. These fluctuations, of course, have reflected ex- tfaordinary excitement. due, apparently to conflicting views of peace as a mar ket factor and there was no trading Monday after the armistice news.
 The market opened at an advance Tuesday, but quickly broke. and closed with many selling orders around the ring at the maximum decline from the opening figures. The execution of these orders caused a further decline of 100 to 19o points at the opening of the mar ket on Wednesday. when all months made new low ground for the season with January contracts selling at 2550c, compared with 3635c the high record of last September. The trade was then notified that the committee on distri- button at Washington had forbidden fur ther selling on short account and a re-
 
 big opening advance of this morning. January closed tonight at 2So5c, compared with 2S 75c at the close of last Saturday. In placing the prohibition on further selling for short account the Washing ton authorities stated that the restric- tion would be maintained only so long as there was tendency toward lmwar- ranted and unbridled speculation.
 Intimations have also been received to the effect that officials expect greatly increased export movement this season.
 The early week selling was attributed largely that the belief that the end of the war without any immediate improve ment in general demand would lead to spot liquidation.
 There was some southern selling here oil the decline, but pressure from that source was not general and southern ad- vices reported reviving confidence to ward the end of the week, owing to the action of government officials and the promise of larger exports.
