They discuss his policy and inten-

between the representatives Of the

only an attempt to speak the thought

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 15.-Bulges anu breaks within moderately wide limits featured the trading in cotton here to- day. Good support was offered at times, but following the lowering of spot quo tations by quarter of a cent a pound an easy tone developed and lowest levels of the day were reached, where the ac- tive months stood 2S to Sl points under the last quotations of yesterday. The close was a net loss Of 2l to 2 points
 The opening was at an advance on overnight buying, and around the first iall prices rose 10 10 10 points. The census bureau report on American mills for December, however, was unsatis- factory and offerings gradually increased with the result that the advance was wiped out and replaced by a decline of 3 to points, compared with yesterdays close. Support came in and the market recovered but from the middle of the day on, holders of long contracts showed more or less nervous ness over the spot situation and a sag ging tendency developed under liquida- tions It was said in the spot depart . ment that while good demand per- sisted for the better grades, the lower grades are neglected.

Over S. R. Stewart & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, January 15.-The disturb ance to traffic and means of communi- cation caused by recent storms is great CT than at first believed and telegraph companies this morning reported service worse than yesterday. The northern press is still devoting much space to the harm and delay caused by severe weather conditions.
 While opening higher on the eXecu- tion of some overnight buying orders, our market soon showed a tendency to decline, while New York, under the bullish influence of greater isolation from supply in the south, advanced. The difference between the May positions being around 70 points some time ago. have widened further. As it does. prof 1t taking on straddles is invited, and this buying forced occasional rallies on our market
 The census report was disappointing, as it showed 5000 bales less consumed in December than in November and 20 900 less during December this year than last year.
 The most bullish item on the report IS that mill stocks are 790000 smaller than last year, but at these extraordinary prices mills are not laying in stock but are working strictly on hand-to-mouth policy.
 The weather map shows generally fair in central and south Texas freezing to coast; general rain northern and eastern portion, but mostly light; cloudy rest of belt; general rainfall; heavy over parts of Louisiana, Mississippi Okla homa. Tennessee and North Carolina and freezing except in the western dis tricts-John r. Clark & Go.

 In December, 1916, consumption was 5S6675 bales, and for the five months ending December S1. 2,756.4l2.

 Cotton spindles active during Decem- Der numbered SS,649,07S, compared with s2, ,s6S,274 the previous year.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-01-16

cember statistics from American mills for December were not up to bullish ex- pectations, but they caused surprisingly little selling. Around the opening the market bulged 10 to b points only to meet with selling encouraged by the cen sus report, which put prices to points under yesterdays final figures. Fresh buying was encountered and a recovery resulted. practically to the highest levels of the day. Later the market fell off again. reaching its lowest levels follow ing the reduction of 25 points in spots
 Regarding the spot market. it should be remembered that considerable price adjusting between grades has been done of late and that the market has been swept of better grades of cotton.
 It is said that there is comparatively little demand for the lower grades at the moment. Just how the spot situa- tion will work out in the near future it is difficult to say, but there is no more cotton in the world than there was a week ago; the crop is just as short Our idea is that when spinners find no more white cotton to trade on they will be forced to consider lower grades.
 Consumption, excluding linters, in this country during December was 5l6,5S0 bales. against 590.7 76s in November and 5S6. .675 in December last year. We think this falling off was due to the inability of spinners to secure fresh supplies of fuel and raw material.-Shepard x Gluck.

MUCH TRADE BUYING
 IN COTTON MARKET.
BuIlish Census Figures on Cotton Consumed During
 December

New York. January 15.-Because of fairly active trade buying, there was a disposition to ignore the bearish census figures on cotton consumption today, which indicated a decrease of 74,O00 bales in the December consumption, compared with November, and of 2O,o0O bales as compared with December a year ago. The market opened steady at an advance of 3 to II points and later made addi- tional gains which carried March up to 3l e2c and May to 31.2Sc, representing net advances of 25 to 26 points, as the specu- lative interest evidently considered that much of the decrease in consumption for the month was due to fuel and transpor- taticn difficulties, rather than to any material reduction in demand for goods.
 Throughout the middle of the day the market was somewhat irregular, sustain ing occasional reactions under selling bv Wall street houses in sympathy with depression in the stock market, but there was no important change of sentiment until the late afternoon, when the mar ket was severely affected by reports that the President had been asked to declare Mondays in the eastern states legal holi- days until the fuel problem had been solved Assuming lhat any suVh dSuoH
 would produce a material cut in the consumption of cotton by New England mills, some estimating as high as 4o,00O bales monthly. the trade sold heavily, and prices broke to the lowest of the day, March touching 3l.20c and May 30,Slc, from which level there was slight closing rally, with last prices to l9 points net lower and the tone steady
 The late break was also accompanied by considerable southern hedge selling and reports of easier. spot markets in the southwest and at New Orleans, all though a good demand was reported from the eastern belt. Dry weather continued in the southwest, with heavy and general rains in the eastern belt to be followed by much colder weather in all sections

WEATHER
 SENDS OFF GRAIN
Seaboard Inquiry in Oats Was Lacking-ProvisiOns
 Tighten Up

Chicago. January 15.-Corn averaged slightly lower in price today, mainly as result of better weather conditions than had been expected. The market closed unsettled, at the same as yes terday's finish to 1sc to A e lower, with January at s1.2T1s and May at 1.24is @125. Oats declined Ac to 1sc net. Provisions scored gains of 2i5c to 17c.
 Bright skies instead of a new snow storm which was looked for, but tho bulls at disadvantage in corn. A slight increase of the United States visible supply total tended also to ease values and there were reports that a large number of loaded cars were wait ing throughout the west, especially in Iowa. ready to be hauled to market as soon a motive power and clear tracks were available. The fact, however. that the contract stock of corn here has been exhausted led to 8 transient upturn in the January delivery, which sold at within $sc of the. maximum limit allowed.
 In oats nothing was heard of any seaboard inquiry and selling was based largely on the fact that Illinois rail- roads seemed in fair way to clear up congestion. Under the circumstances rallies failed to last.
 Tightening of the provision market came about from the meagerness of of- ferings.
