The Worlds Markets
Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, November 9.-The price of
cotton was put to net advances on the
opinening last week, and it remained at
net gains throughout, although there
were fairly wide reactions from the adj
vance after the middle of the week. At
the highest levels the trading months
showed net gains of 1856 to ZIG points and
the close was at net gains of 100 to 17S
points, December being the strongest
month and closing at IS. SIC.
The main reason for the strength of the
market was the keen demand at con-
stantly rising prices in the spot depart
ment. Middling cotton went to 40.50c a
pound on Wednesday and remained at
that level in the face of reactions in the
contract market, closing $50 points high
er than the closing level of the proceed
ing week. Sales of long staple cotton here
were made at as high a price so cents
a pound, and reports from the interior
told of fancy lots bringing as high as
81 cents and 81 pound At the end of
the week a somewhat more favorable
view of the labor situation and prospects
of blizzard weather in the western belt
gave the market additional steadiness.
The reaction that started at the mid
die of the week had its inception in the
order from the government that no more
foreign SHIPS should be bunRered at
American ,ports during the present fuel
emergency This was taken to mean that
the export movement of cotton would be
greatly reduced. On the closing session
of the week the ginning reports from
tho census bureau of 6.273,S66 bales turned
out to November caused new selling, but
the movement was checked by prospects
of very unfavorable weather over Sun
day.
At the end of the week expectations
were that weather news would have
much to do with the opening of the new
week, although there is the chance that
labor developments will be important
enough to overshadow all other features.
With the more sensational features of
the present situation settled. develop

Weekly Financial Review

New York. November s.-Money was the
pivot around which last weeks stock
market revolved, sometimes with furious
rapidity. Important industrial and po-
litical events were forgotten or ignored
in progressive financial developments
which pointed to worldwide tightening
of credits.
The advance in discounts by the fed
eral reserve bank was accompanied by
broad limitations against the excessive
use of capital for speculative purposes
This was followed by the virtual deple-
ton of time money, higher rates for
bank acceptances and an advance, the
first since early in 1917. of the Bank of
England rate.
These several episodes were sufficient
to effect a sharp revision OF speculative
purposes, but the recession gathered
fresh momentum when local banks be-
gan to curtail loans.
Call money several times opened at Il
per cent the highest initiai rate of the
year. and twice mounted to the years
