New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, November 19.-Rapid fluctuations, both above and below the level of yesterdays close resulted in cotton today from conflicting influ- ences Depressing the market were hedge selling and liquidation from the long side while at periods good de- mand was stimulated by much talk of a great change for the better in the ex- port outlook. Late in the session buy CTS of the morning tried to liquidate and they found little demand with the result that the lowest levels of the day were reached where prices stood at net declines of 55 to 65 points, The close was 35 to 50 points off, net.
 Around the opening the market ad- vanced 15 to 45 points on the telegram from B. NJ. Baruch. chairman of the was in sympathy with the movement to remove restrictions which are now working against the eXportation of cotton.
 This improvement brought out con- siderable realizing from the long side and a break ensued on which the active months finally reached a level 25 to 34 points under yesterdays close. From this there was recovery and a rise until the most active months were 30 to 70 points over yesterdays final quota tions. This buying movement was caused by reports of more ships headed for gulf ports and the statement that the current allotment of cotton for Spain had been increased by 115,000 bales. The gain was not maintained be- cause of renewed selling.

SHIPMENTS OF FOOD
 ID AUSTRIA SENDS
 GRAIN UP IN TIE PIT
Corn Closed 1 7-Sc to Sc Net Higher, While Oats Were
 Swayed by Its Rally

Chicago november 1e.-Definite an- nouncements of preparations under way to send huge shipments of foodstuffs to Austria helped to bring about sharp upturn today in the corn market. The close was strong, 17s to cents net high CT, with December S1. S02s Qk301a, and Jan. uary s1.321zQ1.32s4. Oats gained 9s ta 1Bc. In provisions the outcome was un. changed to 20 cents lower.
 At first the bears had decided ad. vantage in the corn market, owing large. ly to a prevalent opinion that thea13c advance witnessed during the last Week was more than sufficient as long as ex- port buying remained merely prospective Later, gossip became current that recent liberal buying of flour on government ac count was part of comprehensive plan for feeding Europe. Then the market made a swift ascent

of the facts, as will pe seen by the following comparatives based on July i31:
 Mill stocks Europe, all kinds, 35o,- 900 this year against 655,000 in 1s17; .01O,000 in 1916; 1.725,400 in 1915; B. HTS, 900 in 1914. Foreign consumption of American cotton, 4,S2S,000 against 6.550, 900 last year; 7,760,0o0 in 1916; s. 055,000 in 1915, and s,9o7,000 in 1914 The above statistics are silent testi- mony to the fact that there is virtual fly a famine in cotton abroad. and as consumption was curtailed. nearly 50 per cent abroad as result of the war 1t
 follows that stocks of cotton goods have probably been reduced in like propor- tion. In other words. these deductions approximately correct discfoses the probability of a shortage of about B. 1000, ,000 bales in foreign countries when compared to their holdings prior to
 the war owing to the scarcity of raw cotton and cotton goods overseas.
 To meet this deficit and to protect the future markets of the world based upon a crop of 12,500. 900 bales this year plus 4, ,25S,000 carried over the close of last season has a supply of about l6.750.000 American bales, of which about 7,000,- 900 will be required for the United
 States as America's consumption last season was T,454,0oo bales. However, the cotton committee ol the war jlnQuS- tries board, Washington, estimates that their returns indicate that foreign spin ners will require 100000 bales more than they imported last year Last
 season the United States exported A. 27S,000 bales, and if Wasningtons esti- mate of probable exports is correct for this season Europe will need 6,275,- 900 bales this season, which would like ly leave surplus of American in the world at close of next July of about 3.543,000 bales, against 4,25S, 000 at the close of last season.-H.

AGAIN WEAK
 UNDER LIQUIDATION BY RECENT BUYERS
General List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of B to
 75 Points Under Close of Monday

New York, November 19.-After 9 fairly steady early session the cotton market became weak late today under action and scattered southern selling. The general list closed steady at a not decline of 80 to T5 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 25 points to a decline of D points on relatively steady cables, but quickly eased off under scattered hqui- dation and hedge selling. Recent buy CTS seemed to be disappointed over the absence of any important demand from Liverpool. but after selling off to 3 net decline of 23 to 80 points, prices steadied on covering, bullish spot ad- vices, and reiterated predictions of in creased exports. For a time during the middle of the day prices showed con- siderable firmness. December sold up from 2727c to 27.96c and March from 6.20c to 26.9Sc, with active months generally showing net gains of i6 to 50 points. The buying movement then tapered off, however, and ,tEe market was unsettled later in the day newed liquidation and reports of hedge selling for southern contract.
 December broke to 27.o5c and Janu- ary to 26.02c or about 45 to AS points net lower on the active months and 90 to a6 points from the early high level. There was covering enough to make the final tone steady, but last prices were within to 10 points of the low est. Expectations of bullish ginning figures on Thursday probably helped to steady the earlier market, but there seemed to be more or less nervous mss over the goods situation and ru- nor that hedges were being sold against stock of manufactured goods or the expected cancellation of con tracts. There were other rumors dur ing the day that Spain had been all lotted 115,0o0 bales additional for quick shipment, but conflicting reports were in circulation sregarding imme- diate supplies of ocean tonnage.
