morrow will say:
Radjustment of an over-extended
sneculative position has made for more

strik order has strengthened business
nrosnects. No widespread or serious in
terruption of manufacturing or trans
nortation has resulted from the walk
ont among the miners, and the gradual
resumption of operations in the bitumi-
nous fields has allayed apprehension
~ a general industrial setback through
lack of fuel Yet different branches
NJ enterprise are still greatly incon-
venienced by labor troubles that limit
outputs at a time when the fullest
nossible employment at mills and fac
toris is essential, and rise in Dunn's
index number of commodity prices to
a level closely approximating the high
record of the summer, reflects the
growing shortage of supplies OF many
necessaries.
Reports of cancellations of merchants
are less an indication of diminished
purchasing power than of inability to
have requirements satisfied, and some
interests with order books already con-
gested have withdrawn statesmen from
the road and are rejecting offers of
profitable contracts from new Gus

STOCKS IMPROVED
OVER THE M|DWEEK
MARKET CONDITION
One of Most Noteworthy
Features on Wall Street
Was New Strength
of Rails

New York, November 14-Stocks made
further substantial recoveries today from
their severe declines of the mid-week.
although there were occasional signs
that the market had not fully adjusted
itself
The most noteworthy and hopeful fea-
lures were the activity and strength OF
rails, accompanied by favorable advices
from Washington and the confident &C
ton of other standard issues, as reported
by commission houses.
Temporary reversals of relatively
minor proportions succeeded the strong
opening, these being ascribed mainly TO
realizing for quick profits. Another set
hack followed the publication of the first
call money rate of IA per cent the lat
ter figure ruling until the last hour,
when successive offerings forced the rate
down to s per cent
The condition of the time money mar
ket was the one serious drawback OF
the session. Virtually no funds were OBJ
tainable at the per cent bid, even for
renewals. Local banks Withdrawing al
most entirely, while interior banks con-
fined their loans to nominal amounts
for the shorter dates. Transcontinen-
tails led the rails with Union Pacific in
the foreground at an extreme advance
of 5 points.

hind with cotton carriers, while many
secondary transportations were higher

MONEY SITUATION
CAUSED NERVOUS
COTTON MARKET
Selling Was General in the
Last Half Hour, With De-
cember Breaking to
1858 and April 34.05

New York. November 14-Continued
nervousness over the money situation
and apprehensions that bankers would
discourage the use of funds in holding
cotton on speculation. were considered
chiefly responsible for a renewal of
general liquidation or heavy selling in
the cotton market today. January sold
off from 36.7Oc to S5.50c and the close
was easy at the lowest levels of the
day on most positions. showing a net
loss of so to los points.
The opening was SO points higher on
December and points lower to 10
points higher on other positions, with
active months selling about 10 to 25
points above last nights closing fig
ures during the early trading. This
bulge was due to further covering or
buying inspired by firmer Liverpool
cables and reports of freezing temper
atures quite generally over the belt.
There may also have been some buy
ing on the census report showing do
nestle mill consumption of 555,344
bales for October but these features
seemed to make comparatively little
impression on sentiment and the mar
ket soon turned weaker under renewed
liquidation and southern selling
Near months were relatively weak,
owing to reports that the lower ten
derable grades were offered more free
ly in the belt and early afternoon rail-
lies on the larger exports or reports
that more cotton would be shipped
from the local stock. met Increased Of
ferings.
Selling was general in the last half
hour, with December breaking to $3.50
and March to 34.05c in the late trad
ing. The south was moderate seller
during the day but the bulk of offer
ings were again attributed to Wall
street houses.

LOCAL MARKETS

Some lines Of meat are cheaper than
this time last year." said Arnold Holzer,
the well-known marketman. Hams and
bacon are in this class. On the other
hand, spareribs and pork loins have be-
come scarce. This is on account of the
packers killing very few hogs compared
with when hogs on foot were much
higher.
Pork shoulders and fresh hams are
off slightly and supply and demand about
balanced.
Lambs are scarce also; just why,
don't know. There is plenty of veal at
all times, and a great deal more is con-
sumed now than in years past.
BEST beef cuts remain stationary in
price, but should drop some, as a great
