Weekly Cotton Review

Durfng the earlier part Of the past
week, sentiment in the cotton mar
ket was unsettled by the uncertain
ties of the fuel situation. the weak
ness Of foreign exchange and reports
Of a diminishing spot demand. There
was considerable selling on these fea-
lures and later Liquidation became ex-
cited and active owing to an unex-
pectedly large crop estimate from the
department of agriculture. Private
reports published here recently had
not indicated a yield of over 10000, 900
bales on the average, and the official
estimate of 11,030,000 bales evidently
led to a considerable change in. views
of the probable supply.
Prices broke very sharply, in con-
seouence, with the near months par
ticularly weak during today's trading,
when January deliveries sold off to
s4.o2c. compared with 37.6oc, the high
level of last. Monday.
Notwithstanding the settlement of
the coal labor controversy, there was
continued uncertainty at the end of
the week as to when restrictions on
the use of fuel might be removed and
almost equal uncertainty as to the<ef-
feet of coal shortage on domestic mill
activity OF the export movement.
Although the stock of certificated
cotton here is now below 5000 bales
and little is heard of arrivals for de-
livery from the south, few notices
have been issued against December
contracts, causing considerable liqui-
dation and helping to unsettled senti-
ment in January. Sales in the south
ern. spot markets have been smaller
during the past few days but are ex-
pected to increase on buying to fill
December commitments later in the
month.

Dun's Review

New York. December 12-Duns tornor-
row will say:
Settlement Of the coal strike this week.
while favorable development Of far
reaching significance, unfortunately does
not mean an immediate ending of the in
convenience and loss sustained by BUSH
ness through six weeks of interrupted
mining operations.
Measures of fuel conservation. impelled
by conditions that had daily grown moro
seriously viii not be abandoned with the
return to work of many thousands of
bituminous workers and some time must
necessarily elapsc before various impor-
tant industries and trades win recover
from the deleterious effects of the recent
calamity. Shortened hours in not few
mercantile establishments have been
forced in season. when the early activi-
ties Of Christmas shoppers have been
conspicuous feature and production and
transportation have been further impeded
at period when the call nearly every
where is for more goods with which to
satisfy current extensive requirement.

New Orleans. Dec amber 12.--After

Their weakness in sterling exchange

JUMPING ABOUT OF.

Rally Occurs in Last Hour

b. Their Contracts

New York, December 12.-Sensationar
movements of money which jumped from
to Is per cent and then bacK to the
minimum rate, and the precarious condi-
joins attending the international credit
Situation, affected another downward re-
vision of prices of the stock excnange
today.
In the course of the 'readiustment, dur
ing which speculative yssues, notably mo-
tors, oils and steels, registered extreme
declines of 3 to 10 points. many mar
gined accounts were closed out, indicat-
ing that some of the soft spots created
by last months upheaval still remained.
To considerable extent todays ilqul-
dalton was impelled by the action of the
federal reserve bank, which late yester-
day announced another advance OF "a
of 1 per cent in interest and rediscount
rates.
Apart from this consideration, how
ever the market had to reckon with fur-
Their foreign offerings, especially OF high
grade rails, these again being attributed
to the depreciation of exchange on Lon
don.
British demand bills fell to che new
low of s.. 661k, a fraction of cent under
yesterdays low, but other foreign remit
tances, especially francs and lires, sug-
gested that action was being taken abroad
to check the demorallzing decline.
Rally of the last half hour was not
wholly due to the relaxation of money
rates, the short interests doubtless COW
ering some of its contracts on the show
stng made by the government crop report.
5.his was especially favorable as to corn
and winter wheat, in which final esti-
mates were much in excess of the hve-
year average.
\ Bonds were heavy to weak in keeping
with the movement of the stock mar
ket. speculative rails adding from frac-
tons to point to their recent STEADY
decline Liberty and Victory issues also

W. E. Campbell & Co.'S Letter

AS we predicted in our letter of last
night. that the market would s~l
higher during today's session proved
true.
When March reached SS.s5c there
was general attitude to sell out
longs which caused March to sell as
low as s2.06c and from then on there
was q general wave of covering which
finally boosted March at the close
around s2.S0c,
Our policy Is to buy this market on
good declines and do not sell on
breaks.
We find the same element that was
against us on the bear side when
March was selling at 35c and above
have now turned bearish and are
against purchases at these levels Buy
cotton on breaks and let the other
fellow sell it-W. r. Campbell & Co..

New York, December 12-Through-
out the greater part OF the day there
was urgent and heavy liquidation of
long contracts as well as selling for
the south The unfavorable foreign
conditions have caused anxiety in the
trade and all foreign exchange rates
have been declining steadily during
the past few weeks This WIN have
the effect of decreasing exports. which
will also effect cotton. A natural re-
covery from present prices can be ex-
pected, but on any sharp upturn we
advise our friends to liquidate long

the quick recovery when bears try TO
