New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 1.-The price of cotton fell $5 to SC a bale today around the opening of the market and remain depressed throughout the ses- sion as the result of the announcement of the governments fuel regulations. Heavy selling came from holders of long contracts, who liquidated their cotton because they saw curtailed con- sumption in the enforced holidays, Added to this was a large volume of offerings from the short side.
 In the first few minutes of trading prices fell 99 to 117 points. For 2 while the market retained its weak tone. but gradually steadied on profit taking from the short side and fresh buying for long account. recovery set in following reports on an in- creased demand, both here and in the Interior for the lower grades of spots. Telegrams from Georgia told of large sales of such cotton to Carolina mills. At the highest, on this reaction from the decline, the market stood 2S to 42 points under the last prices of yes terday Toward the end of the day another sagging movement developed gaining some headway after the post ing of spot quotations showing a re- duction of 25 points on aH grades. The close was at net loss for the session of 67 to ST points

MARCH COTTON GOES .0FF SPOON THE BALE
Garfield's Bomb Sets Staple Back for Largest Count
 During Past Year

New York, January 17.-Not since the memorable day last February when prices broke 500 points in response to the ruthless German U-boat programme has there been such demoralization in the cotton market as was noted this morning. when values sustained a per pendicular drop of 1s7 to POP points on the nearby months, and 53 to S5 points in later months, as result of the drastic attitude, totally unexpected conservation order issued by the fuel administrator. The selling or nearby positions, particuarly March contracts which showed the greatest decline amounting to over s10 bale, repre- senting stop loss orders due to fears that the conservation order would mean a severe reduction in the amount
 of cotton consumed by New England
 mills There was less pressure Tn the
 distant months and eventually trade
 buying developed on such a tremend-
 ous scale that prices began a recoV-
 try which culminated in rise O. fully
 160 points on March, or from 2sc to
 soc for the present. The May delivery
 advanced from 2935c which was the
 lowest aEOu1Q lHS OpchlhSt Nc SNf'~N'
 In addition to the big trade demand,
 which came from both northern and
 southern mills, there were reports 10
 the effect that southern spot holders
 were absolutely indifferent to tae de-
 cline in futures and had refused to
 make any concession in their prices. There was also an active demand from some of the big short interests to cover cotton put out several days ago and good buying for both Liver rcol and New Orleans account. As a result of this support the market throughout the rest of the aesston was fairly well sustained at from 20 to % points net decline until just before the close when demand was withdrawn and prices eased off further, the mar ket closing barely steady at 6t to "a points net loss. It was said in late arlington dispatches that final or lder suspending industries in the United states would contain certain importan' modification from the summary issued I last night No action was taken by tht cotton exchange towards closing, and l it seemed to be the opinion of hoth officials and members that business would continue as usual. even in al uhheated building, except that the question of closing on Mondays wonld 1 be left to await action by the gov ernor.

GRAIN PIT WAS IN
 GUESSING HUMOR
Various LiklihOOds Enter Into Days Transactions.
 Closes Firm

Chicago. January 17.-Although corn prices at first eased down little to- day, influenced by likelihood that traf- fc congestion would be relieved, the market later hardened owing to un- certainty as to whether elevators and dryers would be permitted to continue in operation despite restrictive rules the same as yesterdays finish to isc higher with January S1.27ss and May St.241s. Oats gained A c toQ B 1sc. The outcome in provisions varied from un- changed figures to 15c advance.
 Prospects that government Coal saw ing measures would clear the .way for more liberal arrivals of grain here gave the corn market a slight downward slant in the earlier transactions. Sell
 ing, however, was of a decidedly cautious sort, and there was consider able change of sentiments after ques- tions were raised as to whether eleva- tors, especially those without dryers, might not be forced to shut down by
 Under such circumstances declines
 were gradually more than overcome. and it was not definitely known until after the close that elevators and dry CTS would not be interfered with. Advances in oats resulted largely from strength shown by prices at Win nipeg. Besides, receipts here were very small. Higher prices on hogs gave firmness to provisions. Arrivals of hogs here were inadequate.

Sugar Market

New York, January 1.-The raw sugar market was steady at 4.ss5c for Cubas, cost and freight equal to 6OO5c for cen trifugal. Trading was less active to- day, there being no sales of Cubas. There were sales of 5000 bags of Porto Ricos and $500 San Domingo at 6Oooc. The situation in refined showed no im- provement, only one refiner taking any business at all, and in a very limited way. There is enough sugar on hand now for all refineries to start up, but the coal shortage continues to tie up the plants It was the impression among su- gar interests that the ruel administra- tors new order would not apply to su- gar, which is a food product. and there was hope that the refiners would be en- abled to start up at least on part time In the near future. Prices were un- changed at 7.45c for fine granulated.

Exchange to Remain Open

President John r. Clark of the New Orleans cotton exchange has just given out the following inter- view:
 While the order will most likely cause interruption to industries and affect mill consumption. still it looked anyhow as though a de- crease in the amount of mill output was being forced owing to want of fuel supply. Probably while tho restrictions are temporarily embar- rassing, they may ultimately work out to good end by bringing more forcibly to us the condition of fuel requirements and thereby assisting the government in applying rem edy. As to our exchange. I feel that in order to protect the interests of constituents entrusted to us. we shall have to continue operations on the days of fuel restrictions. The fact that the order has been fully considered by Washington should place it beyond criticism"

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, January lI- tSpeciai' Today we have felt one of the sudden effects of war through the edict or the coal administrator. A cessation oI ih- dustry for few days lpecause or 'ne incanacitv or impotency must result in losses to all and disturbance of commerce. It is estimated the effect will be to decrease the consumption of cotton in this country by over 25o,- 900 bales This ordSr came like tbunderclap. it led to sharp liquida- ton because neither merchants nor manufacturers can realize what the ef- feet will be on business, whether l&bor will be disorganized or whether they will stand by and take their share of tba loss. On the decline Liverpool bought freely and some spinners fixed prices on hedges. The rally was not sustained at the close. e.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

Over S. R. Stewards Wire

New Orleans, January 1.-The leading market influence this morning was the overnight shock from Washington given in the press: ''F'uel administration is sues orders stopping all industries, man. ufacturing enterprises. with but few ex- captions. in all states east of the Mis- sissippi river. and including all of Louisiana, being ordered by the govern ment tonight to suspend operation for five days in order to relieve the fuel famine"
 The governments move came without warning Most industries making war
 goods are said to have on hand more supplies awaiting railroad and ocean
 transportation than the nonessentials
 This shows that the step was largely
 prompted by the traffic disturbance caused by indictment weather. which we
 have pointed out in our reports during
 the past week as bearish factor affect ing consumption
 It looks now as if the loss might amount to two weeks consumption, eoualing about ao0,Oo0 bales, Another likely consideration is that undesirable lower grades will wsight more heavily
 on the markets with the invitation to realize more freely on hedge selling ! against holdings.
 1 Confusion of opinion as to the prob able extent of the influence on the mar
 lSet caused an irregular opening, 40 to 5O down on January and mostly 100 lower l on later positions. Covering on the break caused a rally of about 60 points, with
 nervous fluctuations of 20 to 30 points | following. Straddie buying was sup porting factor on the possibility of much wider difference with New York, where supply is accessible to exportation to Liverpool, while replenishment from the south is difficult.

 The announcement of drastic fuel say

 closing down of the greater portion of
 industries of the country. includins
 manufacturing. for the next five days
 and for nine Mondays additional to fol
 low caused a break of a cent pound
 and more in the price of futures Heavy
 selling started with the opening, anu
 more or less selling pressure was Tn eVi-
 dence at periods throughout the day.
 Selling was based on the curtailment
 n consumption which will result from
 the closing down of mills If the pro-
 gramme of the government is followed
 out it will mean enforced idleness of IA
 days. or practically half month or running time, which would mean, Tn
 terms of cotton, S00,000 bales, including linters For while the offerings were not well taken, but gradually the market acquired the power to recuperate rom the breaks At the lowest in the early trading prices were go to IT points off from yesterdays close. From this there was a recovery to within 2S to 4z points of yesterdays close, but supsequent breaks carried the market orr again 10 A decline of about s bale. The recoV- cries were stimulated by reports of much better demand for the low grades in the spot market, both here and in the interior Our idea Is that if this de- mand develops to any proportions or conseouence, it will offset any and all haar factors now in sight.
