ADVERSE MARKET. CONDITIONS WERE. MUCH IN EVIDENCE
Important Questions to Come Before Congress Enter Into Discussions
 On Wall Street
By Associated Press

New York. December 1.-Trading on the stock exchange continued to emphasize in variable degree the many adverse con- ditions which hang over the financial and industrial markets of the world.
 Market opinions, as voiced by leading banking and brokerage interests, touched upon the many important questions to come before Congress and the unwleldy trade balance in favor of this country resulted in further depreciation of ex- change on London and Paris.
 The status of the coal strike, textile labor disturbances, tense Mexican situa- ton and uncertainty respecting the out come of important litigation now before the supreme court were included among the other issues which contributed to the markets irregular trend
 Occasional rallies in speculative shares were attributed to technical conditions. rather than actual demand. while the sluggishness of representative rails and . industrials attested to the absence of public interest.
 General Motors, Pierce-Arrow, C1ucible Steel and some of the high-prieed oils, in all of which an extensive short in terest is believed to exist, rose and fell within radius of to almost 12 points.
 Intermittent strength was shown by shippings, sugars, feathers and kindred specialties, but only in a few instances did prices hold at the end. although call money dropped from the opening rate of ' per cent to on unusually free offer ings
 Several of the Liberty and Victory is- sues rallied from early olw levels, but the general domestic and foreign bond list was heavy Total sales (pas value) were unchanged on call.

Tbompson. Parker & Co.'S Wire

New orleans. December l-Eariy de- clines in cotton today were followed by net advances. the market displaying strength which was mysterious to many traders. but which did not appear as mys- terious to other people, who were willing to remember that the market has been sold in almost anything and everything or late The opening decline carried prices off t3 to g points. which loss was recoy- cred and replaced by an advance or 70 10 "A points over the close of last week.
 Late in the day there were small sags from the highest under the Watkins bu- reau estimate of the crop of 1o,7C,0Qo bales, not including linters. The govern ments estimate is due next week, Thurs day. and the way sentiment shapes up cocnerning it may have more or less to do with prices between now and that time.
 The market closed at net gains of z to B points -Shepard & Chuck.

S. R. Stuart & Co.'S Letter


 New Orleans. December 1.-Influenced
 by many contrasting factors on our side
 and a lower Liverpool, the market opened
 this morning irregular, 15 points up on
 December to 20 off on May. followed by
 somewhat nervous and rapid fluctuations
 within a range of 30 points On the
 whol ethe market held better than ex-
 pected because os the reduced price levet Of the deferred months. There was an optimistic view on the Presidents forth coming message to Congress.
 Spots were steady, g points up: mid ding, S9 25c; sales, 5oi6 bales. Other port and interior spot markets are unchanged to 50 points up. with moderate busi- ness done.
 Although the market Is now about 300 points higher for January than 1t was early in November. and within about 00 points of the high for that position, the strength of the sopt markets warrants a belief that contracts will go steadily higher. and purchases on the recessions should, be profitable. However, for the immediate present we look for traders market with advantage on the construc- tive side.-John F. Clark & Co.
