CHANGE OF PRICES WERE IRREGULAR;
 VERY CONFUSING
Presidents Message to Con- gress )Took )Precedence Over All Other Market
 Features on Street
By Associated Press


 New York. December 2.-Reflecting the unusual and diverse events which influ- Rpnced it's course, the session of the stock exchange today was dull, with many con- fusing and irregular changes of prices.
 Adoption by the government of srin- gent regulations to prevent coal fam inc, another collapse in foreign exchange, the sudden death of H. C. Prick and the Presidents message to Congress aug rnented the uncertainties which previously had obscured the financial horizon. As a market factor the Presidents communl- cation took precedence. Disappolntmeh : was expressed in many quarters at the absence of specific reference to remedial railroad legislation. This was party offset by recommendations for the protecuon of various home industries.
 Advices from principal manufacturius cente-s sought to minimize the propaole effect of the fuel restrictions, put lt Wds not denied that further curtailTnent ol production and transportation would m evitably result. Latest aspects or .ne @ Mexican situation, which were disuhc'ty henficial to the oil shares, and the per cent call monev rate. which held through out the session, were almost the only de velonments which favored trading, anu these lost some of their force in the later dealings.
 So far as the stock market moved al all fllctuatiors of more than moderate range were limited to such. speculative favorites as General Motors, Petroieurns' sduipments and feathers. Gains of to : points among investment rails were ma terially shaded at the steady to nrH' close ;,
 Tn rae bond market, where dealulss II, Tjbe-tv issues were again very large on daoliri,c tendency. the noteworthy fea ture was the strength of local fractions international bonds reflected only mod eratelv the further demoralized movement in exchange Total sales tpar valuel az. gregated s2s, ,750ea Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

pugpan and Bouden Letter

New Orleans, December 21.-The cot ton market opened at the advance to- day, held it's gains well throughout the session and spurted into new high ground late in the day, when December went well above the s9c level
 The strength of near months sup ported the entire list. Fresh buying of importance came in on the settlement of the Fall River mill strike and Liver pool was an important buyer on this side in the early hours. On top of ev- erything else were accounts of a strengthening demand for spots in the interior. But for the coal strike, the bull element would be the strong posi- tion-puggan & Douden.

l. w Iax .& Cn,s Letter

New York December 2.-The strength of December, which advanced over 120 points, occasioned an advance for other months of about 70 points. Large recovering of contracts was in evidence during the entire day, predi- cated mainly upon bu11ish spot advices and belief that political conditions will eventually adjust them mselves satisfac- torily. The local stock is so small and with very little prospect of cotton headed this way that hedge sales in near months are daily being trans ferred to more distant positions-J. w. Jay & Co.

Clark & Co.'S Letter

New York, December 2.-Although sterling made new low record the Liverpool market paid no attention to it, and sold 10000 bales at an advance of 16 American points. It is Manches- ter trade that is turning the trick. Manchester spfnners know they can not spin paper cotton; they want mid ding and above, and this quality is very, very scarce, and growing scarcer. Tn order to keep up with the manufac- turing pace, England must have cotton and is buying it in large quantities. Clark & Go.

New Orleans. December 2.--At the open ing of the Liverpool market this morning the outstanding feature was the demon strated resumption of urgent demand for spot cotton, sales were 10000 bales, as against e000 yesterday. Futures there closed A to 52 English points up.
 Remembering that the presidents mes sage was going to Congress today. eau ton was general in the early trading and our market opened B up on December and to 25 up on later months scaling to May These p-icea proved to be the low of the day, however, and after ranging within a limit of s points on December and 70 to 7s on later positions in order the market colsed very steady fin tone with net gain of ss to 90 points over Mondays final figures.
 The market held it's early gain of about 60 points and added % points to it during the last hour For the immediate future would take profits on bulges. If the coal strike was out of the way cotton would advance sharly, with a subsequent quick break, only to advanceagain; anyway 1t looks a purchase on sharp breaks.--Jno F. Clark & Go.

Tomnson Parker & Co.'S Private Wir,

New orleans, December 2-While the cotton market was not very active today 1t was exceedingly steady and prices were at the advance from the opening. The settlement of the Fall River mill strike a much better Liverpool than due, threat ened bad weather in the belt, reports ot a much better demand for spots in the interior and the general disposition of shorts to cover combined to create the buying movement December went to the new record price of 2S. SIC. At the highest levels rrices were 5S to ST points above yesterdays close. So quick an ending of the Fall River strike was not expected and 1. went far to offset any bearish feeling arising from the fuel situation Liverpool stool better than due.
 Telegrams from the western belt stated that A good demand for spots was spring ing I'D and tha. buyers were paying the bienast basis of the season at some points which if continued can hardly mean anything else but a higher mrket for con. trcts.-Shepard & Gluck.

 New York, December 2.-The market has presented a very firm appearance all through the trading today, with much of the trading in the way of switching IS has been the case recently to transfer hedces from the near to the distant months, as shorts appear to have given m hope of any tenders for the present partly because of the difference being so much against such business and also be- cause time is getting short to make De- eem5er delivery.
 With so much in the news and the gen : eral situation to favor shorts some are wondering where prices might go if any favorable development, such as settle n,ent of the coal strike or the stabliza- ton of foreign exchange should occur.

New Orleans Cotton
by Nt5vtINtth TTtss York, December 2.-CottoT

New Orleans, December 2.-The price of cotton stood at substantial ad- vance throughout the session today breaking into new high ground in the afternoon and closing we'll up toward the top at net gains of 72 to S5 points. At the highest the trading months were at net gains of 80 to 94 points. De- cember rose to 39.32c, the highest price ever touched by contracts in this mar ket. The near months led at the ad- vance, and the nervousness of shorts ovre the strength of the near months and over reports of an increasing de- mand for spots to fill December en- agreements was mainly responsible for the buying.
 Around the opening prices were about Sc up. the demand being brisk Liver pool was better than due and the set clement of the Fall River strike was regarded as important During the early trading Liverpool was large buyer on this side of the water, undoing straddles.
 Late in the session the market was stronger than ever, and it looked as if stop loss orders were being caught on the short side.
 Locally, spot quotations were raised 25 points to 39.5oc for middling, which compared with the closing price of Q !. able parity between spots and futures in some time.
