New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, November 12-After a short lived advance of 2S to T points on the first call today, cotton fell s10 a bale and remained at the lowest for full half a session, closing at the bot tom. Before the noon hour the war rule limiting fluctuations to POO points in any one session began to be invoked and gradually was extended to all trading months and was in force throughout the afternoon. The decline would have been wider but for the working of this rule. Lowest prices were 129 to 172 points un- der the final quotations of last week.
 Overnight buying orders were in evi- dence on the opening but when they were filled the market had no support at all and it gave ground under selling for short account and liquidation. Selling for short account increased greatly by the middle of the morning.
 The fluctuations of the session marked the efforts of the trade to adjust it. self to peace conditions. After the first flush of bullish enthusiasm was over the coming of peace was gone the bearish view prevailed that peace would bring war imitation out of all commodities. Spot cotton refused to follow the decline in contracts local quotations being un- changed at 303S for middling which com pared with 27.35c as the low and closing price on December future.

Coffee Market

New York. November 12.-Having completed the liquidation of old con tracts in the market for coffee futures last week, the board of managers has appointed committee to take up the question for reopening the contract
 market for general business. and has sent in an appeal to the food adminis- tration setting forth the need of hedg. l ing market. Pending action of some sort in Washington the futures market will remain closed and the local spot
 market was reported entirely nominal so far as quotations were concerned owing to the regulation of profits to the basis of costs by tne food admin istration, which Is leading to much ir. regularity.
 The early cables from Brazil reported an advance of ATS to 25 reis in Santos futures and of T5 reis in the Rio market with a clearance of 41,000 bags from Santos for the United States. Bra
 gillian port receipts 24,ooo, Jundiahy re- ceipts 5000.
 Later cables showed a decline of 1125 to 1900 reis in Santos futures, which was attributed to realizing after lthe advance on the armistice news.

TRADERS ADJUST AFFAIRS FROM WAR
 TO A PEACE BASIS
Wall Street Surprised at the Matter-Of-Fact Manner in Which Change Was
 Accomplished

New York, November 12.-The calm' matter of fact manner in which todays g stock market regulated its affairs rom war to peace was doubtless surprise to many who expected that the nrss post t-bellum session of the eAchahse would of necessity be attended by sen sational incidents.
 With the exception of United States Steel and few other popular inous- trials of the pronounced war type' prices were 1 to points higher at the open ing, rails, shippings, oils and motors guiding the movement
 Before the end of the first hour most advances were materially reduced and by midday virtually all gains were changed to actual losses of to points, pressure centering in munitions and al- lied equipments.
 The last half of the session was characterized by moderate revival or the first hours activity and more ln- sistent liquidation, in which the en- tire list participated. Washington's reminder that some of the hardest prob lems of the war await solution gave momentum to the later decline. United States Steel was the out standing feature, settling down to 99A and closing almost at its lowest, with net loss of 3as. Independent steels re- acted 1 to 3 points, Baldwin Locomo- tive alone displaying strength.
 Oils went through their usual gyra- tions, Mexican Petroleum making an extreme reversal of 11h points from its early gain of 3 points.
 Motors, coppers and tobaccos ended at recessions of 1 to points. also the various specialties which follow in their train, and rails of high and low degree forfeited more than their many substantial gains in the first hour.
 Remittances to allied centers con- tinued to strengthen. rates to neutral countries making Icorresponding de- clines.
 Bonds were irregular. foreign issues yielding part of their advance. Total sales (par va1ue) aggregated $10,l75,- GOO. Old United States bonds were un- changed on call.

SENSATIONAL DROP
 |. OF TEN DOLLARS ON |. THE FLEECY STAPLE
General List Closed at the Lowest, Showing Net De- clines of 134 to 175
 Points

New York. November 12-The first | day of trading since the signing of the armistice was marked by a very se- were break in the cotton market For the first time since the rule was passed by the board of managers placing a limit of 200 points, ior about s1o 8 bale, on daily fluctuations, the max mum movement occurred which auto matically checked the decline after Jan uary had sold off from 29.25c to 27.25c. The market remained weak. however. and the close was at the lowest, show ing net decline of 134 to ITS points. The market opened firm at an advance of 21 to 60 points on covering and scat tered buying which was evidently in- spired by enthusiasm over the peace news. Offerings immediately increased with Wall street and the south sellers, and the decline was accompanied by rumors that foreign governments had withdrawn their buying orders. These rumors were not confirmed, but they evidently added to the nervousness of sentiment, while there were very few buyers around the ring and it did not Irequire large offerings to depress prices. December sold off from 29. soc to 27.90c
 
 afternoon, which active months gen. erally showing net losses of 134 to 175 points from Saturdays closing figures. There were conflicting reports from Washington regarding the probable ac- tion of price fixingN committees. which are now considering she schedule of goods prices to takN effect November Is, some claiming that there would be no change while others seemed to be looking forSsa decline. Notwithstand- ing the southern selling here, local spot brokers said they heard of no weak ness among interior holders, who still anticipated a gradual improvement in the export movement. Sentiment was very unsettled late in the day, how ever, owing to reports that selling or ders had accumulated during the after noon owing to the absence of buyers at the maximum decline permitted for the day.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-11-13

at the lowest for a considerable pe- riod
 The initial advance amounted to 2S to n points, from which there was fall until prices were 1zs to 1T2 points off, beyond which level the market was automatically prevented from go- ing by the rule limiting fluctuations in any one session to cents a pound. in some quarters the vciew was ex- pressed that had the market been open yesterday the 200-point rule would have been revoked on upturns. but whether there is any truth in such a be- lief or not, it is certain that the en- tire buying power today was repre- scented by the comparative slight ad- vance on the opening
 Locally spots were unchanged at s0-3Sc for middling, which compared with 27.S5c as the low price on De- cember. This discount puts sellers of contracts in an uncommercial posi- ton. The entire situation depends on spot holders. If they remain firm and spot prices do not follow the decline, we do not see how further declines can be forced in contracts No logical reasons for today's selling came from any quarter but the selling power was there while, except in the first call, there was no buying power.
 The market closed at the bottom, 200 points down from the top and 129 to 172 points off from last weeks final quotations.-Shepard & Gluck

Over McReynoIds & Juliau's Wire

Cessation of hostilities in the war zone
 due to the United States having accom-
 plished its mission of saving the world
 to democracy, was reflected in a higher
 market this morning but heavy liquida-
 ton of long contracts held in anticipation
 of peace resulted in a sharp decline after
 the opening The freedom of the seas
 having become reality European mer-
 chants are likely to make every effort to arrange for importing cotton from America soon as possible in order to ob- tain the comparatively much higher prices abroad for raw cotton and cotton goods and will take advantage of impor- tant depressions to buy for future re- quirements. Compared with last year the
 world visible supply of American cotton last Friday was 2.S12,o0o bales against 2590,e0o of which 2,S29,000 was held in the
 United States against 1,s09,000 in Europe and afloat only 4S3,000 compared with 6S1,-
 000 of which Liverpool was credited with 266,000 against 320.000 Two years ago the worlds visible supply of American was 3,900000 of which 2349,0oo was in
 America, 1851 900 in Europe and afloat of
 which Liverpool had S34,oOo.
 | By referring to stocks uproad compared
 with two years ago and they are much larger before the war, the necessity of
 Europe increasing it's purchases of the
 raw material is apparent.

 But in order to derive the benefit of such conditions. large stocks on this sicss of the Atlantic, small stocks abroad, the south should market the balance of the crop only as the market requires and as there is likely to expend slowly, patience is exacted of southern spot owners. Li-

New Orleans, November 12.-Besides the momentous news of unconditional surrender of Germany by accepting the armistice terms, there already appears information pointing towards the re- turn to broadening activity in the in- lternational exchange of material The fitting of gun platforms and crew quarters on merchant ships has been stopped.
 Our market opened 20 to 100 points higher, but broke sharply soon after the call, January selling from assoc to 27.12c. The reason for this disap- pointing action was largely two-fold There was an abundance of selling or
 ders in the ring based on the expecta- tion of high peace opening, which drowned support, whiie the action of
 the northern market suggested a strong effort by bear interests to discredit
 bullish views of the situation. There

Now the only SUD- ply of cotton and for cotton goods is in the south, which puts thes outh in a dictatory position so as to value. Mar

Trade Apparently Regards Peace as Having Been Fully Discounted in
 Advance

Chicago. November 12.-Corn aver
 aged higher in price today. influenced
 by the fact that at least for the pres ent the trade apparently regarded peace as having been fully discounted in advance. The market closed ur- settled at the same as Saturdays fin ish to %c up, with December $1.1SA to s11sk, and January, $1.19% Co $1.19%.
 Oats gained F to %c. The outcome in provisions varied from 55c decline to a rise of 50 cents.
 Notwithstanding that fighting with Germany had ceased, a majority of dealers in corn showed a preference for the buying side of the market Owing to absence of selling pressure
 the market advanced readily, but later
 was depressed by reports that a grain blockade existed in the east. Rallies, however, soon set in and the market in the last hour had again a pro- nounced upward slant.
 Oats sympathized with corn. Higher quotations on grain and hogs gave strength to provisions.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-11-13

quidation of long contracts continued so drastic during the latter part of the session that the limit for fluctuations for one day, POO points. was reached on all months preventing offerings below the limit for remainder of the day. This fea- ture of the situation is likely to make a deep impression on southern spot own CTS showing the necessity of offering freely if further decline in the immedi- ate future is to be averted.
