New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, November 21.-Price
swings were mide in cotton today and
they carried the market to both net
declines and net advances.
The large ginnings during this last
period resulted in heavy selling around
the opening under which the trading
months went SIS to 65 points below yes
terday's close but by the middle of the
morning the market was rising on ru-
mors that the coal strike was likely to
be settled before the day. However
the upward movement carried the ac-
tive months 81 to 46 points over the
level of Yesterdays close. In the after
noon reports from Washington, from
private sources, were that the coal
strike conference was in hopeless
deadlock and the heaviest selling of
the session came upon the ring. 1t
drove the distant months to new low
levels, and the close was at net declines
for the day of 40 to rs points. July clos
ing at the lowest.
The ginning returns of 7.577,S2e
bales were called bearish because they
indicated production for the fifth gin
ming period of 1,303,9 $50 bales against
92e.261 during the same period last
year.
The exports of the day attracted
much attention but had no influence
on the trading Clearances from al
ports amounted to 96.269 bales, being
larger for the day than they were for
the entire week last year Exports for
the week amounted to of5,367 bales
against 1921 this week last year.
