FIRMER TONE EXISTS
in COTTON MARKET
Close Steady at Net Advance
! of 66 to 100 Points-Spot
News Helps Rise
View York, Dec. 8

A stronger TECHNICAL position, notwith-
standing the fact that the restrictions
have prevented any accumulation of
short interest. was largely responsible
for firmer tone in cotton today.
There had been a feeling that the mar
ket was on the eve of spot liquidation.
and the absence of hedge selling, or other
indications of increased spot pressure,
helped TO restore confidence. According
70 local interests, there is a large spot
short interest in the South.
Generally speaking, it is against
good grades and the demand from
these shorts explained the maintenance
OF the present big premiums.
Late spot news, telling of strong in
terror markets, was one of the factors
on the rise.
The close was steady at net advance
of ee@ioo points.

Mr.. Scl,wab on tho job

WITHIN twenty-fou hours from the time
w the new drector-g general Of the Elmer
gency Fleet Corporation took hold, he had
accomplished two important things. results
which his predecessors had been unable to
achieve. though they had pleaded for them
for months. MIR. Schwab went to Wishing
ton. and in twO-hour conference convinced
the Shipping Board that the Headquarters OF
the Fleet Corporation should be moved to
Philadelphia. In another two-hour confer
he had convinced the War Industries
Board that the steel for merchant ships
should have absolute priority over the army,
the navy and all other war enterprises
Having put these things behind him, call
ing it fair days work. the director general
left for Philadelphia He wanted to locate
building big enough to house the headQuar-
tcrs of the corporation. He spent exactly
one hour spotting this building. When he
had satisfied himself that it was what he
wanted. he did not call lot of people in to
dicker with him as TO terms OF the lease and
other minor details. He simply announced
10 the owner Of the building that the Fleet
Corporation will take your nine upper
stories" That ended the transaction. in so
far as he personally was concerned. His
subordinatos left behind to finish
the job.
This is the kind OF action that counts. 1t
indicates that Mir. .Schwab proposes to get
things done He did not have to confer for
days or weeks with lot Of people before
deciding that ships could not be built with
out an unending supply Of steel He knew the
day he took over the job that he must have
steel and plenty of il. and what Goethals
and Harris and Pez and Hurley had been
unable to get. he demanded. And the
priority order was granted without the loss
Of even twcnty-four hours.
For months one Fleet Corporation official
after another has argued that the head
quarters OF that business should be else
whore than in Washington. They knew it
should be at some point near the scene Of
actual construction, but there were other Of
ficials who insisted that Washington was
the only place to manage such a project
But Mr. Schwab would not listen to such
arguments, and the government stood aside
The next thing is TO produce tonnage. AL
ready this master mechanic has turned 10
that. and there is assurance in everything
that he has done and i'll everything that he
stands for in the industrial world that he
will give ships. If he cannot deliver
them, it is difficult to where the man
may be found Oh this continent who can.
