Restrictions on Short
Selling Of Cotton Has
Been Entirely Removed

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 9.-Following tele-
gram received by the New Orleans cotton ex-
change:
Please read from the rostrum Of your ex-
change before the opening Monday morning,
post on the bulletin board and send to each
member firm carrying contracts, the fol-
lowing notice:
The prohibition of foreign and specula tive
short selling of contracts on the New York
and New Orleans cotton exchanges ordered
by the committee cotton distribution on No
yember 10, was an emergency measure.
The conditions that existed following the
signing Of the armistiCe have been relieved
and the emergency has passed.
Our government having made trade agree
ments with neutral nations the export of
cotton to all but enemy countries is now as
sured.
Available tonnage in sufficient quantity
to allow of exports fully 30 per cent in eX-
cess of last seasons shipments is more than
probable.
The requirements of the spinners and man
ufacturers can now be bought and moved
without war time restrictions.
Confidence is restored and under the cir
New York and New Orleans cotton ex-
changes on November ID, are hereby re-
moved.
The committee wishes TO express to the
officers and members of the New Orleans
and New York cotton exchanges its sin
cere appreciation of the splendid spirit of
cooperation and helpfulness exhibited by
them in making effective the orders of the
committee.
