New Orleans Cotton
By Associated Press


 New Orleans, December 16.-Pronounced strength was gained by cotton today and December scared to soc pound, the highest contract price ever quoted in the American markets. A period of easinsss developed in early trading, but 1t did not last long, and gave way to gradual ad- vance which culminated late in the ses- sion when the list stood 75 to no points higher than the close of yesterday. Final prices were at net gains of 59 to 90 points. Buying was encouraged at the start by the bjgher trend in foreign exchange rates. and by the better fuel conditions in this country and later by the passage by the Senate of the Edge bill.
 Around the opening the more active months were to Is points up, but iiqui- dation of contracts recently bought soon set in. and there was a sag which final- lv carried thes trading months Il to 5l points under the final prices of yester- day. At this level the announcement that bunkerng of foreign vessels in Americap ports might go ahead began to have it's effect, and a little later the market commenced to firm up rapidly on the improvement in foreign exchange
 The rise in December carried that month to a premium over spots. Decem- her closing at 40.25c against the spot price on middling of 40c.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR
 FINANCING EXPORTS SHOOT UP COTTON
General List Closed at a Net Advance of 10 to 116 Points Over Mondays
 Final Figures
By Associated Prv,.

New York, December 16.-Rumors that arrangements had already been made or were likely to be made in the near future, for financing. export business under the provisions of the Edge bill. seemed large ly responsible for a sharp advance in the cotton market today. Buyers on these reports also found encouragement in the steadier ruling of exchange and the talk of easier money market condi- ticRs, while near month shorts were in flUenced by the apparent absence of spot pressure in the south.
 January contracts sold up from s soc to 3s.S0c, or no points above last nights closing quotations. while December showed even a greater gain, with the market closing steady at a net advance of 10 to 116 points,
 The tone was unsettled during the ear Her trading. First prices were IS points higher to points lower on all months except April, which showed a decline of 45 points, and active months sold about g to 45 points net lower during the early trading.
 December notices were estimated at only 1000 bales, but led to some liquida- tion with that month selling off to 6. .5oc right after the call. The notices seemed to be promptly stopped, however, and buying of December by one of the local spot houses caused a decisive advance which started Covering by January and March shorts.
 December sold up to ss 15c in the later trading, or 1b5 points above the low level of the morning and 12o points net higher, while March advanced from 9S5oc to s4. .75c, and May from 31Fsc to S2.75c. The close was few points off from the best under realizing.
 New crop months were reiativeiy quiel and easy during the entire day as interest seemed to center on the winter and spring positions. No exports today.

<. R. Stewart & Co.'S etter

New Orleans, December 16.--Liver- pool closed at a decline of to points on the near positions there and our market opened irregular on the near positions to about 10 down on the later months; this was followed by decline of about 20 points, but support of the market by the January interests soon rallied the market, and when the first sterling exchange rates quotations showed an advance of to points, and the rumor arrived that the bankers tips were in favor of a steady improvement in the sterling exchange rate, the buy ing movement broadened and carried prices about 70 points upward. Around noon further quotations on foreign ex change rates were advanced, while francs, marks and Italian lire were also higher.
 Our market, after opening irregular r to 10 off on late positions, ranged with in limit of 112 to 120 points and after an active session closed steady 90 to 60 points net higher, on a scale from January to July. This action again discloses the strength of the near positions, and while this feature is op- erating the market stands a better chance to hold any advance, and the disposition has shifted to giving prefer ence to buying on the dips.--John r Clark & Co.

Shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York, December 16-The market gathered strength as the session, pro- greAse1 with short covering and some fresh buying coming in on rumors via Chicago that arrangements have been made for financing purchases of grain and cotton for England and France and on the advices from Washington that the Senate has agreed to the conference re- port on the Edge bill. Foreign exchange also, after showing a somewhat reac- tionary tendency, turned firm, with de- mand sterling at $s.75A and francs 10.39c Sterling is now up 10c from the low point touched There has been very little news today regarding spot markets which continue dull, but there is nothing to in- dicate that holders are at all anxious or contemplating any concessions in price to distribute their cotton.
 If the Edge bill is passed. we look for an improvement in the spot demand in the near future, with further strength eninc of contract prices, but until there lis sor.etring definite and tangible to sup- hort advices would go cautiously in fol- lowing advances and wait for setbacks

Duggan & Bouden's Letter

New Orleans, December 16.-SpeciaL) ) Cotton made a ready response to bulksh news today rising tsrongly on the firmness of sterling exchange to bet ter fuel situation in this country and the passing of the Edge bill by the Senate. It is generally considered that the Edge bill will go far toward stabil- izing foreign exchange and helping the international financial situation. In the early trading the market was irregular and at one time it stood at net de- cline but once the upward movement started it remained in force during the session, highest prices coming later in the day. The immediate future of the market probably hangs on financial de- velopments-Duggan & Bouden.

New York, December 16.--Today's s advance was due to better feeling in commercial circles and the fact that while the crop may possibly turn out 11,000,000 bales, & crop of this size Is too small for peace times and the war torn nations of the earth are determ- ined to work for a lasting peace which shall endure for all time.

New Orleans. December 16--A strong. ly higher market for cotton resulted to. day from continued improvement in foreign exchange and the official state- ments of better fuel situation. Tn the early trading there was hesitation and irregularity and at one time prices were Il to 3s points under the close of yes. terday. Some little liquidation of re- gently bought cotton came on this de- cline but gradually the market strengthened and finally it rose firmly until it stood 69 to ss points higher than the close of yesterday on the most active months December went to 40. 80. the highest contract price ever re- corded.
 Should the foreign exchange market continue to improve we see no reason why cotton should not rise, with it. Highest prices were reached toward the end of the day when the trading months were at net gains of 79 to no points. The close was 5a to 20 up net.-shep- ard & Chuck

With Liverpool lower than due, our market opened about 10 points lower than the previous close and showed a further weakness of 5 points, true to our predictions, and then stiffened UT on general short covering and some trade buying.
 The market has acted just as we ad- vised our many friends and when the flash came out that the Senate had passed the Edge bill, which permits trading with and loanfng to foreign countries the market firmed up and March in New Orleans ran up tP 35.s5c which was the high of the day and just 39 points up fromthe low, or where we advised buying, we found those that were extremely bearish at the lower levels, buying, excepting much higher prices. Spots were In order showing advances from all points with small turnovers. We would rather sell at these levels than buy.-W. F. Campbell & Go.
