Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans. December 6--A lettersfrom Liverpool says. Larger freght allot- ments are bullish factor, as cotton has 10 be bought against them, regardless of cost. It is said that British freight allotments for January have been raised to 30.000 tons."N
 Mir. Brand announced late yesterday that exportation to Holland of 1l20N bales had been authorized if carried in Dutch ships.
 The promptness with which the advance in futures and the consequent cheapenne of the basis stimulates. spot demand is shown by the material increase in spot sales reported from Dallas Houston, Memphis and New Orleans.
 4 Washington report says American manufacturers are rapidly forming ex- port associations under the Webb law, which plan to carry American products all over the earth. to create and enlarge a demand for goods made in America aud to furnish oargoes for the American merchant marine.
 Our marked opened about 10 points higher. but there was no speculative push and action was generally most conserva- tive. This Is rather commendable uil- der the circumstances. While 1t IS De- ing observed that there is a gradual im- provement in conditions, it Is also real zed that support in futures at present must be allowed to come mainly from covering of short interest In other quar- ters. Any rash move might do more harm than good The first step has been made. Shorts realized the excessive dis count of near futures under spot prices and the improved outlook for exports, Therefore, they covered near positions and transferred into the distant. more general covering of short interest could be next.--John F. Clark X Co.

The live stock which J. J. Miller
advertised for sale in the American
last week was all sold the following
day with the exception OF young
bull, and 1t all went to one man,
8. D. Dye. from northeast of Bruno.
Since then there have been many
callers at the Miller place. who
wanted to purchase his stock. And
then some people have the audacity
to say that advertisements are not
read. People who are wide-a-wake
and not sleeping read the entire
paper. To be sure don't advertise
anything for sale in the American
unless you are positive you want to
part with 1t.
