Over Campbell & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans. Nov. 4.-General covering by nervous shorts on an oversold mar ket put cotton higher by over cent and half a pound today.
 On the opening the market furnished the impression that it was rising on the surrender of Austria. in spite of the recent growth of the view that peace would be depressing influence. Shorts are plainly frightened over the increase of the holding movement among the spot owners of the south, and If their ner- vousness increase to the point where they lose control of the market it would not be surprising to see the trade go back to the view it entertained for more than four years. that peace would be a bull ish influence.
 On the opening there was wild scram- ble to fill buying orders, but little cotton was offered to satisfy this demand. The active months were sent 106 to 146 points upward in this initial bulge. The rise was finally checked and reaction of 70 points came about, but around the middle of the day another advance set in and in the early afternoon prices were ls0 to l6S points over last nights close.
 The immediate future of the market appears forrest on the actions of the short interest which has been built up. If it continues to cover a further advance cannot be avoided Sheer power of sell ing, such as was indulged in last week, could of course cause further reces- sion. Ultimately the course of prices de- pends upon the holders of spots more than on any other factor.
 Toward the end of the day the demand became stronger than ever and the 200 point limit rule had to be invoked Closing prices showed net gains of 200 points.-Shepard & Gluck.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, November 4.--Covering
 by shorts caused rise of S1O bale
 in the cotton market today. For she
 first time since it went into effect,
 the war rule limiting fluctuations in
 any one session to 200 points was in- voked late in the day, and 1t was ap- piled just as the market was becom- ing a runaway affair. The close was steady. with all the active months
 standing at the full maximum price Of the day.
 Buying orders accumulated before
 the opening, recent sellers having talk
 en alarm over the growth of the hold-
 ing movement among spot owners and the feeling aroused in the belt by re- cent operations which have been re-
 sponsfble for wide declines Buyers found but little cotton to trade on and
 before the early demand was satisfied prices were 106 to 146 points up. There was a recession of about 70 points by the middle of the morning. but after
 the middle of the session the demand
 strengthened again and finally Janu-
 ary touched 27.45c as compared with 2545c on the close of last week
 Other trading months soon reached the 200-point limit. The action of the market around the opening suggested that a favorable construction was be- ing placed on the surrender of Aus tria. although recently the view has gained many adherents that peace would depress the price of cotton.

New Orleans, November 4.--Foreign news of great importance appeared over Sunday. Austria was gwen arm4sUcs terms and hostilities will cease at 5 p. m. today. Her seaports are in the hands of the allies. This should mean that the shipping situation to the Med- iterranean is improved and should bring larger outlet of raw material from our side into view. Strong education and effects towards cooperative defense against manipulative bearish tactics in cotton here factors have formed an as- sociation pledging defense of cotton, ad- viSing spot owners, banks and other ln- terests not to be stampeded and to put all effort towards holding and defense.

New York, November 4.-Peace stocks had their inning again today, invest rnent shares of various classes scoring substantial gains on Austria's capituia' tion and publication of the allies terms to that country.
 Rails, shippings and motors, with oc- casional outbursts of activity in the oh group. were the dominant features. Trad. ing was characterized by moderate deai' ings. In the last hour realizing TOT profits over tomorrow's holiday caused slight setbacks.
 Gains among rails of the investment division ranged from to 21a polnts' tns Hartman and Hill groups denoting ap- sorption of an impressive character. Top ular grangers, coalers and moderate priced issues of the western and soutn- western sections were not far behind.
 Atlantic Gulf featured the shipplngs, although yielding part of its 6-point rise, but Marine preferred, and minor issues' such as American International ana Pa- cific Mail were moderately actlVe ana firm.

FIRM SOUTHERN {. SPOT MARKET IS CAUSE OF ADVANCE
General List Closed Strong at a Net Advance of 140 to 179 Points Over
 Saturday

New York, November 4-There was very excited advance in the cotton mar
 ket today with shorts urgent buyers on reports of firm southern spot markets
 and the Austrian armistice. The general
 list closed strong at net advance Of
 40 to 179 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of & to 99 points on higher Liverpool cables, reports that practically all spot
 offerings in the south had been with
 drawn over Sunday, and active cover ing After selling at 2S.15c for Decem-
 Der and 2750c for January, the market
 reacted about 50 points under realizing
 or reselling by bears who had covered toward t<. end of last week, but otherA wise there was very little pressure, and the market soon turned firmer.
 The publication of the terms of tho Austrian armistice seemed to create an impression that Germany must soon sur- render, and while improving peace pros- poets had led to increased selling last week, the opinion seemed to prevail to- day that an early ending of the war would be considered a bullish factor py southern spot holders.
 The advance carried December con- tracts up to 29.04c, and March to H95c, of 1S0 to 1SS points net higher and about 225 to 235 points above the low level of Saturday. Both foreign and domestic trade interests were credited with buy ing on the advance, but the bulk of the demand was attributed to covering by recent sellers who were supposed to have
 been alarmed by the bullish character of
 the spot news from the south.
 The advance of 1SS points for Decem-
 Der came within 12 points of maximum
 fluctuations permitted for any one day
 under the new regulations and the close
 was within 10 or 15 points of the best.
