NeW Orleans, November 9.-A quiet

Around the open- ing considerable liquidation from the long side was felt and it depressed the actiVe months to the extent of 22 to 70 points These offerings were soon absorbed and from then on buyers had To pay advances. Late In the session prices were 34 to A points over yes terday's closing levels and last prices showed net gains of 27 to 37 points.
 While little attention was paid to any other feature of the piesen sit uatlon except the armistice conference the continued military successes on the western battle front, the internal trou- ples Of Germany, and reports of floods ana overflows in the most important cotton counties of Teas had the effect or giving the market a steady under tone, although no buying resulted di rectly from them
 Some little interest was aroused hv telegrams from the western belt claim Ing that the spot people already had received discretionary buying orders rom foreign cotton interests

WAS CAUSE OF NERVOUS
 COTTON TRADING
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of 9 to 46 Points Over
 Friday

New York. November 9.-The delay in
 signing the armistice and uncertainty re-
 sarding over-Sunday developments led
 to more or less nervousness and irregu-
 iarity in the cotton market today. On
 the whole, however, the undertone was | steady to firm, on covering by Wall steady at net advance of 25 to 46 1 points.
 The market opened steady at a decline or $ points to an advance of 15 points With near points relatively weak under scattering liquidation, .but very soon turned firmer. There was active buying
 or January and March, which was SUD- posed to reflect covering by Wall street.
 istereSts, who had sold last month on
 the bearish view of peace as a market
 factor, and the demand from this source
 brought Tn scattered buying from other quarters. After showing. net advances of about 25 to 47 points the market reacted
 undef realizing, but reached the best prices of the day in the late trading when December sold at 2950c and March at 2S. SSc or about 43 to AS points net higher
 Ihe close was only few points off from lne pest under realizing A good deal oh attention seemed to be attracted by
 washington advices quoting the war in- oustries board to the effect that gov erhment contracts would be continued or Wide scale for lengthy period. This statement was said to have been mad, Tn response to the demand from manu- Iacturers regarding the governments att uluue with reference to cancellation of war contracts should the armistice he signed by Germany. According to re- ports from the goods trade all buyers are hesitating except for government ac l count and many are still trying to cut | oo"n obligations to receive goods that [ are overdue.

Work for Conscientious Collectors

lHOIIlaS F. Logan, Tn LeSlle'S. The problem of what to do with those
 who object to fighting on religious and
 moral grounds has just been solved by
 the department of agriculture This has
 been done by the aid of farm help spec-
 ialists. It is generally in the farming
 communities that are to be found the
 sects fundamentally opposed to war
 census is taken of conscientious obtec- tors by the cantonment commanders. ana these men are placed upon farms where their labor is most needed. Camp Meade had SS men who objected to war. and they are now laboring on farms Camp Lee has had 1o2 men placed and the ma- jority of objectors at Camp Taylor have also been assigned These men do not work independently but are furloughed men, laboring under strict regulations drawn up by the war department They have standard wages and compIete re- ports are kept of their conduct and et- ficiency, which are periodically for warded to the nearest cantonment com mander. So this small army of conscien- tious objectors is now working intensivaIv behind the lines where it's services are giving and to victory through food pro- duction.

DECATUR

1 Decatur. November s.--(Special)- )-There was joy in the Twin Cities Thursday. It was free and demonstrative, though short-lived. The flood of good news which came over the cotton wire con- corning the signing of the armistice and
 lending of the war;" set the towns on fire. Proprietor Rolker of the Albany
 Silk Mills wired from New York to
 close the mills and give the employees
 a holiday in celebration of the event
 and extras of the newspapers were eager
 ly sought. Early risers eagerly scanned
 The Age-Herald for further particulars and were then appraised of the hoax
 which had been put over on them.
 The big minstrel show, being arranged by Mrs W. F. Todd and Mrs. William McNeill, for Wednesday night, November 13, for the benefit of the seven-fold war work campaign, bids fair to surpass any effort of like kind ever promoted here Some 40 or 50 talented men and women of both towns will take part and the stellar attraction Is to lady minstrel troupe.
 The Decatur Red Cross is now ready to supply cartons to be used in sending Christmas presents to the soldier boys overseas, a supply having arrived yes- terday. The Red Cross is giving val ia ble aid to influenza sufferers in rural districts of which there are many, some n very serious condition, owing to dis ance from town and lack of nurses.

Cotton Goods Review

New York, November 9.-Cotton goods l buying for civilians was very limited dur-
 ing the past week. Government reoui- | sitions and orders were very large It 1 remains to be seen what disposition will De made of many of the latter in view Of the changed international and war conditions The markets have held very 1 steady and are facing readjustment to new conditions with every expectat ton that shocks will be very much less than
 many merchants have feared
 A new price-fixin period begins No-
 vember 16. and from the present outlook
 It seems to traders as if government
 prices will represent maximum re-
 straint rather than merchandisins ba sis
 for the immediate future.
 There have been some sales made of goods for delivery next year at slight concessions from government figures. hui the bids for government work are well up toward the maximum levels. Lines of shirtings for fall. 1918, were opened during the week. The volume of offer ings is much lighter than uslial. partly due to the employment of looms on war work, and in some part due to the very quiet business done in shirts since so many young men went into khaki.
 Export trade is restrained by the un- certainty of international conditions and of prices.

active months were 34 to 45 points above
 yesterdays final prices. The buying
 was maAly the result of the belief that improved political events of a favorable nature were bound to occur in Europe over Sunday. It was pointed out that the Germans had been given until Il o'clock Monday morning, Paris time. on the armistice matter. Eleven o'clock Paris would be about o'clock in tho morning in New Orleans, and the mar ket should have any news that breaks when it opens at o'clock
 The tendency still is to regard as bull 1sh any further steps toward peace. Even should the Germans refuse the terms which the armistice undoubtedly carries, the military successes constant- ly being scored by the allies and the Americans and the growing seriousness of the international troubles in the Ger man empire, make it plain that the war cannot be dragged out much longer. Peace is almost here and much must bs discounted and the trade is slowly swing ing back to the conviction held for four long years that peace would be bulIish on cotton. We look for higher mar. ket
 The market closed at net advance of 10 to 97 points.-Shepard & Gluck.

Hubbard Bros. & Co..s Latter

New York. November 9,-(SpeciaI.) The market today opened somewhat
 lower, but immediately advanced in consequence of heavy Wall street buy- Ing, which was said to be the covering of line of speculative short cotton ny prominent operator. Considering thc size of the market we think this cotton was obtained rather easily. We do not see that there is any change In regard to the prospects of peace, and, while this sentiment may easily prove correct, it has so far not been accom- panied by any general outside buying, we should saysthat the speculative in terest on either side now outstanding IS the smallest in 2 long time. The cotton covered today was largely sup plied by the slow selling of hedges rom the south, which has been goins on whenever the market has advanced Tn the past three weeks We hear or no weakness in southern markets put there appears to be certain of cotton for sale on each ad Bros & Go.

Revolutionary Movements in Germany and Allied Vic tories Among the
 Main Factors

New York, November 9.-Extension ot the revolutionary movement in Ger many and further victories of the al front were incentives of todays short but fairly strong stock market
 Prices were 1 to 2h points higher at the opening, oils and some of the leading transportations holding back. The entire list reacted irregularly be- fore the end of the first hour but fal- lied quite generally at the active close.
 Metals and motors figured more than ordinarily in the speculative purchases and some of the seasoned equipments made moderate gains. United States steel ended at 2 fractional advance. Incidentally the United States steel ton- mage figures for October showed a nom inal increase
 Southern Pacific, which led the en- tire market in point of activity, was inclined to waver, probably as a re- suit of profit-tak1ng, but made up all the loss later. Rails as whole inn proved variab1y, coalers and low priced western and southern issues denouncing further sr hstantiai buying.
 Marine preferreds reflected disap- pointment at tre continued delay in the sale of It's British tonnage, but Atlantic Gulf roce points. Strong and active specialties included Wilson rae king and American tobacco.
