DUN'S REVIEW

New York; November 29.--Dun's to- morrow will say: Not through absence Iof important requirements or lack of sustained purchasing power, but mainly because of expectations of downward |revisions of prices, even now being real ized in some instances, forward busi- ness is largely held in abeyance. That many buyers are deferring new commit- ments as far as possible, awaiting the further reaction of prices which seems plainly foreshadowed. is the keynote of advices from about every center |of prominence. and uncertainty regard- ing the exact disposition of various restrictions which still remain effective is not insignificant element in the present hesitation. Yet with conserva- tism and caution conspicuous features, there Is now clearly less apprehension of the results of the economic changes
 which must inevitably be witnessed and the transition to a peace basis is continuing without apparent signs of serious dislocation of trade and indus try.

New Orleans Cotfnn

New Orleans, November 2s-Aside from momentary advance of to 1s points around the opening it was a session of weakness in the cotton market today The initial rise was quickly replaced by a net decline which was gradually but constantly widened until the very close, which was at the lowest of the day, when 1t amounted to 115 to 122 points. The market officially was toned weak on the close
 According to floor comment the mar ket felt some hedge selling in the early part of the day, continued to slide off under dullness and finally felt much liquidation as the result of the poor showing of mill takings for cotton this week, which, according to Hester, were only 329,00o bales, against 425 900 this week last year and 42s.0Oo this week two years ago.
 The small advance on the opening was partly due to unfavorabIe weather &C., counts from the belt, where too much rain has fallen recently, and to claims of a better spot demandSfn some sections.
 Locally the spot department showed no activity and prices were reduced SO points which carried midd}ng down to 2s. 25c At the lowest levels January traded at 25.60c.

BUYING POWER IN
 COTTON MARKET EXHAUSTED EARLY
General List Closed Barely Steady at Net Decline of 70 to 130 Points Under
 Thursday

New York. November 29.-A moderate opening advance seemed to exhaust inn mediate buying power in the cotton mar ket today and prices broke sharply in the late trading. The general list closed barely steady at net decline of 70 to 130 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of { to 37 points in response to relatively firm Liverpool cables. There appeared to have been very little south ern selling orders over the holdiday and the market showed a fairly steady tone during the early trading on reports of an improved export demand, easier marine insurance rates and predictions of in- creased offerings of tonnage.
 These features failed to bring in any volume of fresh buying, however, and the market became very unsettled in the late trading.
 There was some selling here by bro- kers with both Liverpool and Japanese connections, presumably in iquidation or old long lines or hedges, and late in the day there was also selling for New Orleans account.
 GeHerei business was very quiet and the market narrow enough to be influ- enced by comparatively small orders December contracts broke from 2S 36c to 27.50c and March from 26. 62o to -25. .5sc or 70 to s2 points and last prices were at the lowest point of the day, with July closing at 24.N or or no points net lower. The appearance of increased southern selling orders here appeared partly responsible for the late weakness but spot advices received during the day were generally bullish, the chief bearish feature mentioned was the un- settled ruling of the goods trade.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, November 29.-The cotton market has been comparatively quiet dur ing the past week with fluctuations ner- vous and irregular. The talk around the ring here has suggested that the at- tention of the trade was divided between the unsettled condition of the goods trade and the reported confidence of southern spot holders. No material pressure of hedge selling or other indications of pressure from actual cotton has been reported On the other hand, trade buy ing has been limited and local brokers claim to have seen no evidence of . pi essing demand for spot supplies.
 Generally speaking all the news from the south has been given a bullish in- depreciation. The weather has been un- favorable with frosts or killing tempera- lures reported in northern parts of the belt and in the southwest. while there have been cold rains which seemed cal- culated to delay picking or ginning and lower the grade or cause losses to open cotton There have also been further reports suggesting an improvement in ex. ports. and exporters have been reported buyers of spots in the south. As a rule, however the bullish spot advices have been based largely upon the attitude of holders, and there is so much conflict Of opinion or confusion ofsviews regard ing conditions likely to result from the earlier stages of the readjustment from war to peace basis. that bullish crop reports have had little effect on the market.
 The governments final estimate of the yield will be published on December Il. Sc far little interest has been shown in attempts to forecast the figures. One private estimate placed the yield at IT, 320,0 600 and another at II. .700, 900 bales, ex- cluding linters. One of the large Fall River manufacturing concerns shut down 6oo0 looms before Thanksgiving for an indefinite period owing to unsatisfactofy trade conditions. Further reductionr have been reported in marine insurance rates and in some cases policies are now said to be available on . pre-war basis.

STOCK TRADING WAS BULLISH SENTIMENT STRONGER IN OSTST|MULATED BY THE
 / pF LATE DEALINGS FOOD RELIEF BASIS
Corn Closed Strong, 3 to 3 3-Sc Net Higher, While
 Oats Gained 1lz, to ZIG

Chicago, November 29.-Broad hu- manitarianism reported as the probable basis of food shortage, relief in Eu- rope had much to do today with stims uIating bullish sentiment in the corn market. Prices closed strong, to 3sso net higher, with December $127Ts to $1.2S and January s1.2SM to s1.2SA. Oats gained l hc to 21ac. In provisions the outcome ranged from Sc decline to $1 advance.
 Although the announcement that one of the biggest distilleries in the coun- try would close down tonight led to much selling at times in the corn mar ket. the general movement of prices was clearly upgrade. Scantiness of offerings together with other tokens that farmers were refusing to sell free ly at current values put the bears at a disadvantage and the trade was iii ready mood to place full stress on Paris advices that the food situation in Europe would be aaleviated in ev- cry way possible. Accordingly, the finish was at tiptop prices of the day.
 Oats ascended with corn.
 Provisions averaged lower owing to weakness in the hog market.
