WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Reaction From the Long Advances Sets in During the Week; Cotton
 Is Some Higher.

New Orleans, Aug 1O.-The reaction from the long advances in cotton con~ tinued last week and in the early ses> sions prices were sent $50 to 371 points under the level of the close of the preceding week. Values were at net defines the week through, all though there were strong recoveries from the lowest after the middle of the week. Closing prices showed net losses of 211 to 236 points. October closed at 31.72 and middling spots closed at 31.75. Spots lost 25O points in the net results.
 The labor troubles over the country, the agitation over high living costs, slumps in foreign exchange and the absence of a spot demand were the main selling influences, but on the close there was a better all around feeling President Wilson's message to Congress being well received while the better turn in railroad labor trou- bles was regarded as important. There were strong advances on the closing session because of the appearance of a tropical storm in the Caribbean sea and complaints of excessive insect damage in the western belt.
 During the first part Of this week the hurricane in trophical water prom in, f1uences.
 The labor situation, measures to be taken to bring about more normal domestic trade conditions, and the spot inquiry also will be closely watched.

TO LIFT RESTRICTIONS
By Associated Press


Washington. December 12.-Federai
directors of railroads were given au-
thority tonight by Director General
Hines to remove restrictions ON the
use of light, heat and power derived
from coal rs soon ms the fuel situa-
ti0n warrants.
The regional directors also were au-
thorized - restore train service, re-
moved or curtailed to meet the coal
shortage due to the bituminous miners
strike as soon as the fuel supply in the
various regions justifies.
Sending out of the instructions con-
stituted the first step taken by the gov
eminent in the light of expectation
that miners would accept the govern
ment's strike settlement proposal and
return to work.
Director General Hines in announce
ing his action. said conditions in the
regions varied greatly and coal still
was being shipped from the east to
the west. but that removal of restric-
tions might shortly be justified.
The railroad administration received
unofficial estimates during the day
that from SIS to 10 per cent of the
miners had gone back to work. Pri-
vate reports to operators said that in
Indiana nearly all or the men had re-
turned but elsewhere a good deal of
delay was being shown.
Fuel Administrator Garfield's resig-
nation. sent to President Wilson yes
terday. was discussed bv White House
officials. who expressed the belief that
it would be accepted. though it was
not indicated that the President had
as yet acted.
