New Orleans Cotton

New orleans. December GA growing spot demand and the continued Increase in the export movement put the price of cotton to higher levels today. the mar ket standing at a net advance through |-out except for a brief period in the morning when it went 8 to l2 points un- der yesterdays close as the result of a private bureau crop estimate of 11,S25,- GOO bales, not including inters. At tho best of the day the active months were at a net advance of 64 to F points. Janu- ary rising to 69Sc Last prices showed net gains of 2 to g points. In the spot market there was a rise of B points, middling closing at 2S.63c.
 The opening was at the advance and in the early trading prices improved + to 20 points, after which the small reaction came.
 The later buying wave was encouraged by private reports of a generally better spot inquiry over the south. larger sales and a greater willingness on the part ot buyers to meet the price views of spot owners and by the showing made by exnorts this week. The announcement by the war trade board that Holland would be permitted to import l0o,o0o bales of cotton increased the bullish sentiment re- sarding the export movement. Lates in inc day the gain was reduced by realizing on the long side and the market acted somewhat topheavy.

|DULLEST SESSION
 IN SEVERAL WEEKS .ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Specialties Were Featured Again, With Tobaccos Making Extreme Gains
 of 1 to 5 Points

| New York, December 6-Trading in the
 stock market today, the~.dulest session
 of several weeks, was again limited to specialties, notably tobaccos, at an ex- treme advance of l to points The movement in that quarter was
 traceable to professional interests and derived its impetus from a revival of
 rumors suggesting combination or mer- ger of the better known manufacturers and producers.
 Irregular advances were registered by other specialties, much as beet sugar, American Linseed common and preferred, Studebaker and American wooden, the latter scoring a material gain prior to publication of the declaration of the extra dividend.
 Rails were a. negligible quantity throughout, apart from the strength of Canadian Pacific and several of the low priced western and southern issues
 Steels, coppers and oils fluctuated within irregular limits.
 Shippings favored the long account, al-
 though Marines reacted towards the close ir connection with rumors of unfore seen obstacles to the proposed sale of the. conipanys British tonnage to tho United States government.
 Aside from the retention of regular di- vidends by the leading metal producers and a slight easing of call money there was little in the days news to stimu- late public or outside interest.
 The investment market was further un- settled by a continuance of the heavy selling of Liberty Bonds, the tax exempt 319s falling to 97.5O. decline of per cent from the years best, while the fourth 4As, established yet another min irnum at 95.90. Total sales, par value, bonds were unaltered on call.
 Final prices on Liberty Bonds today were. S1as, 97.6o; first convertible As. s4oo; second As. 9364; first convertible 4As, ss7.s0; second convertible 4As, 95.s6; third 4As, 96.04; fourth 4As, 959S.

EXPORT PROSPECTS
 CAUSE OF ADVANCE ]. IN COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Easy at Net Advance of 15 to 50
 Points Over the Close of Thursday

New York, December 6.-Further indi- cations of improving export prospects and reports of increasing interest among do- nestle spinners. led to a further sharp advance in the cotton market here today. The general list closed easy at net advance of 15 to 50 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 5 to 25 points on reports that the trade agreement with Holland pro- vided for the shipment of about 100000 bales in Dutch bottoms, Liverpool ad- vices reporting improved prospects for shipments from this country and an in- creased January freight allotment as com pared with December, and bullish south err spot advices. There was consider able realizing around the initial figures. causing reactions of several points dur ing the middle of the morning with Jan uary selling at 2665c and March at 25.5Sc.
 The market soon firmed up, however, owing to the continuous absence of hedge selling. reports that spinners were either calling cotton or fixing prices and that southern shippers were buying contracts here against spot commitments which they were finding it difficult to fill in southern markets. December sold up to 2S.5oc, and March to 26.30c with active months generally showing net gains of TO to 75 points. Reactions followed under realizing for over the week and some scattered southern selling was also re- ported in the late trading.
 According to private report issued here today the prospect is for q crop of- Il, ,S25, 600 bales, excluding linters while the same authority estimates exports for the season including August. at S,200,0Q0 bales and. domestic mill consumption for the same period at 75o0.0o0 bales.

Over McReynolds & Julian's Wire

New Orleans, December 6.-(SpeciaD Although the spot situation inc the south and developments in exports are a sustaining feature for the present. the immediate future course of the market is uncertain. owing to the possibility of government crop estimate, due De- cember il, being larger than most of the private. crop estimates point to. One of the last of private crop pre- dictions to be issued in advance of the bureau report made it's appearance to- day. the indicated yield being placed at 11,S25000 bales, exclusive of lint CTS Notwithstanding this compara- lively large estimate, it's author is bullish on cotton in the long run be- cause of the great scarcity of cot ton goods outside or the United States.
 It is reported that the British gov ernment has allotted tonnage for 300.- 900 bales for January against 250,000 for December; and Holland is permit ted to Import cotton and cotton goods to the extent of 112,000 bales if they produce the ships which, 1t Is said, are now on the way to America.
 Indications are that after January 1 government restrictions on all mar kets will likely be removed, leaving supply and demand to govern the fu- ture course of values. Later In the year peace will probably be signed, perhaps in the spring, when all of the markets of central Europe will likely be open to commerce for the first time in nearly five years. After that time. by reason of the steady increase In the completion of ships throughout the world. and because of there being less use for vessels for use of the differ- ent governments. tonnage will most probably be provided in ample propor- tions for commerce needs and which cotton is apt to securenits full share.
 Next to food cotton is the essential of which all foreign countries are in request. as it not only serves to clothc peoples of the world but provides work for large portion of the population of England, France, Italy and Spain and Japan. not to mention the smaller neutrals aRd the great consuming and spinning countries of central Europe. Therefore. the Importation of raw cot ton by foreign countries will become one of the prime economic necessities of Europe and from now on particular- ly after the treaty of peace is signed as it is likely competition for trade in the future will be more keen than ever.-H & B.

MORE CORN IN SIGHT FROM RURAL SOURCE PLAYS ID THE BEARS
Oats and Corn Both Drop Off, While the Provision |. List Showed Very
 Little Change

Chicago. December 6-Assertions that an increased movement of corn from rural sources was now assured weakened the corn market today after an early advance. The close was heavy, ssg1ssc net lower with January s1.So7sa1.S1, and February, s13ossd1. so1k Oats finished unchanged to ssc off. and provisions un- changed to a decline of 50 cents
 Smelling of corn was represented as being pushed in all directions and it was reported farmers in Illinois were hauling corn at every station. Consequent gossip that free marketing would result gave an evident advantage to the bears Slowness of eastern demand was also a handicap to the bulls, who during the first half of the session had been able to lift prices in the temporary absence of any aggressive selling. and had been aided by commission houses that yester- day were conspicuous on the bear side. Later. however. conditions were reversed, and in the last hour especially sellers had the whip hand.
 Oats displayed relative strength. Sea- board demand was fair.
 Provisions receded with corn and hogs.

period in the early trading when the market went to 12 points below yes- terday's close under selling stimulated by the Watkins bureau crop estima e of 11,S25.000 bales, not including lint CTS. This estimate, however. did not leave q lasting impression on the mar ket.t
 At the highest levels, which were reached soon after the noon hour, the trading months were GA to 72 points over the final quotations of yester- day. Considerable liquidation came out at the advance, but fresh buying increased as the day progressed. es- pecially after it became evident thar exports for this week were nearly three last year.
 For the day the export movement amounted to 21,S72 bales against II 1,052 this day ,last year; for the week the total was 153,065 against 64,792 this week last year; for the season thus far. 1,439,274, against 1,ss5.666 during the same pertod last year.
 When it is remembered that only a few weeks ago exports last year were soc, 900 bales in excess of those for the same time this year, the extent Of the gain in the movement may be real ized. The war trade board announced today that Holland was to be allowed to import 100000 bales of cotton. We do not think the market can be held down If shipments increase as they now promise,
 The close was at a net rise of 27 10 32 points.--Shepard & Chuck.
