Cotton

The further indications of improving
exports and reports of q better demand
from domestic trade interests seemed
responsible for the renewed firmness
Of the cotton market yesterday. The
advance to 27-43 for January, or about
70 points from Thursdays closing fig
ures and 29O points above the low level
OF LAST Monday, met good deal Of
realizing for over the week end, and
there were closing reactions, with the
final tone easy at e net advance of Is
to so points.
First prices were steady at an
advance Of to 26 points on the re-
ports that she trade agreement with
Holland provided for Che shipment Of
about 100000 bales of raw cotton to
that country and private wires from
New Orleans claiming chat ocean
freight room for apous 1000 bales
had been booked .here for Spain. This
ear!y advance was followed by slight
reactions 9ndcr realizing, but the Of
ferings were readily absorbed and the
market became very trm during the
early aftcrn con, when there appeared
TO be An improved trade demand, ae-
eosnpanied by reports that domestic
spinners were showing more interest
in the market There were also repo rts
that Southern spot shorts who were
finding it difficult TO secure spot sup
plies in the South were buying futures
hero as o protection against their COM
misments at prices below a parity with
xhe spot markets. This demand seemed
TO be pretty we'll supplied on Che ad-

were rather sharp setbacks in the lste

Usual Porphyry Dividends

The calculations of some of Wall

terday whom the directors Of the por-
phyry copper companies declared the
usual quarterly dividends. 1t had been
predicted that at least one rate would
be cut. Production figures showed that
the output of the Utah mines in No
vember was 16,5O0000 pounds, com
pared with 100000 pounds the pre-
cedlng month and l6,300,000 pounds in
Chino produced 6,464,2s5 pounds Of
copper. a decline of ,715 pounds
from the October figures, but an in
crease Of 15l.013 pounds over the cor
responding period of 1917. In the case
Of Ray Consolidated and Nevada Con-
solidated the falling off in production
was not large.

Money Pool No Longer Needed

Reports that the money pool will
formally pass out of existence by

banker, are based on the fact that the
need Of this war emergency credit in
strument no longer exists. With the
maintenance OF restrictions on the
volume of advances to brokers it is
patent that coordination of bankers
activities in this direction is not now
required. "The money pool has been
dormant for some time past" said the
banker. land any steps taken to wind
up It's activities would be simply q
formal recognition of existing condi-
tons"

New-York tribune., 1918-12-07

On November IS. the first mar
ket session after the signing Of the
armistice, cotton prices slumped as
far as the artificial restrictions i'm
posed by the exchange authorities
would permit There was feeling
that slackening of the war de-
mands might be harmful to the
trade. Since then there has been a
gradual recovery, with unimportant
Interruptions, until prices have
reached level roughly 250 points
higher. A combination of factors
has been responsible for the rever-
sal of sentiment, chief of which is
the Improvement in the export stu
alton. Although hostilities ceased
less than month ago, the export
demand is already showing signs Of
broadening Holland. the Scandina-
Wan countries, Italy, Spain and
other Continental consumers are in
creasing their inquiries here This
is apparently the beginning Of the
restoration of more normal export
conditions. Ships that were carry
ing troops abroad few weeks ago
can now carry freight.
1t is to be expected that as cot
ton is one Of the staples that is most
needed abroad its movement will
be facilitated in every way prac-
ticable. The British allotment for
January is reported to have been
made at 100000 bales, against
100000 in the current month and
100000 in November. Holland is
sending ships here to get 100000
bales as result of trade agree
nlent recently consummated, this
being the first large amount of raw
cotton to go to the Dutch in two
years or more.
So much for the export situation.
How readily the Southern owner
of cotton will let go of his cotton
IN view Of the beginning of larger
export movement is problematical.
1t is not improbable that with the
prospect of somewhat easier money
conditions he may decide to
hold on in expectation of higher
prices. Whatever happens, the sit
uation in the cotton market pre-
sents interesting possibilities.

The above rates express the cost of

lean dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling, say, at $4.75A. The intrinsic
parity is $e.S6ss per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at discount
or that dollars are at premium, which
IS owing to the fact that in England
