COTTON PRICES
REACH NEW LOW
Market Rallies but Gains Are Not
Sustained; Nervousness Over Sit
uation Abroad Increases.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-With a
number of disturbing factors still
hanging over the market, selling
of cotton was heavy today and prices
were forced into new low ground
for the season, many months SELL
ing below Is cents. There was a
good rally from the bottom. how
ever, but IT was not all held.
The action of the list suggested
a feeling that liquidation would
drive the immediate market below
quotations which would attract in
vestors into the far deliveries, and
some traders predicted that such
options would go to carry charges.
This is the first time since the be-
ginning of the war that late months
have shown premiums over near po-
sitions; previously values had been
supported by the strength of the
spot situation, but in prewar days
premiums on late months were by
no means unusual. Weekend fig
ures were bearish, as had been ex-
pected, and trade reports remained
poor.
Liverpool-The South and houses
with Japanese connections sold and
the decline caught stop orders.
Shortly after the start. the pressure
carried the list off to a net loss of
Is to SO points.
After regaining 80 to 40 points
of its loss in the second hour. hedge
selling was attracted by the rise,
and the gains were not entirely
maintained. Nervousness over af-
fairs abroad was increased by the
selling orders from Liverpool. Last
quotations were net unchanged to
35 points lower.

WALL STREET GOSSIP.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The an
nouncement of the financial Difficult
ties of Allan A. Ryan was used by
the professional element this morn
ing to depress the prices of the Sc
curities in which he was known to
be interested largely. His position
in Stromberg Carbureter. Vanadium
Steel, Chicago Pneumatic Tool and
Continental Candy, all of which are
listed in the board, not to mention
Stutz Motors which is not listed on
the stock exchange now, was con
siderably over-extended. Large
blocks of all of these Securities were
the basis of collateral loans with a
number of banks and for ten days
past efforts have been by the sew
eral institutions to whom he was in
debted to concentrate these obliga-
tions into the hands of a few institu-
tions. Mr.. Ryan's father is one of
dominant interests in the Guaranty
Trust Company, and it is natural to
look to that institution for leader
ship in handling the situation. 1t is
understood that a committee repre-
senting the Chase Securities Com
pany, the Chase National Bank, the
Guaranty Trust and the Mechanics
and Metals National Bank, has taken
over Mr.. Ryn's affairs, and at A
meeting to be held the early part of
next week a definite plan will be
formulated for protecting his assets
Mr.. Ryan's banking obligations are
understood to amount to $4,000, 900
and his asset position is yariousIy
estimated at from $40, eeO, 900 to s25.-
100000. Chicago Pneumatic Tool
after selling at $50 at the openinc
this morning down 12 points from
the last previous sale, rallied 10
points very easily. Stromberg Car
bureter. which sold off points,
regained most of that loss in the
course of the morning and Vanadium
steel showed the presence of orders
evidently originating with the bank
ing group.
with the taking over of Mrs.
Ryan's affairs and the removal of
Mr.: Durants very large speculative
holdings in General Motors last
week, the two most dangerous
speculative positions in the market
nave been eliminated. This does
not mean that there are no other
weak spots, but it does mean that
the two situations most inimical to
the market position now are re-
moved. That banking interests are
willing to take over these securi-
ties at the present market prices
and under present market condi-
tions shows the faith of powerful
interests in the present unsettled
time. Perhaps this is one of those
straws which indicate from which
direction the: wind, is blowing.

CHICAGO GRAIN
MART STEADY
Efforts BY Eastern Bankers to Sta
bilize Prices Helps Toward
Firmness.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Reports that
Eastern banking interests were
counseling efforts to stabilize grain
prices. together with persistent buy
ing OF our wheat for export on a
large scale, helped steady the wheat
market today. After q hesitating
market in the early trade, prices
firmed up sharply as shorts COW
cred, closing az to 81 higher.
Total export sales for the week
were placed at 10000. 900 bushels of
wheat and -four, most of which was
taken at the Gulf for export to
continental countries. Late reports
from the seahOard said that export
houses were having difhculty in
buying enough wheat to fill their
recent sales and premiums were
boosted little on Gulf wheat.
One of the big factors was the
heavy buying of wheat against ex-
port sales; the talk that banks
would check too free selling OF
wheat was unconfirmed but had a
disturbing effect on the shorts.
Other grains with the exception
of rye displayed a firmer tone also;
corn at the close was IN to IN
higher and oats Il to V up; rye
finished Ia to Y lower. while bar
ley was N to 1 higher.
PROFIT taking by longs and selling
against the offers shaded corn prices
materially in the last half hour. but
there were net advances of fair pro-
portion for the day and shorts gen.
orally were more uneasy than they
have been recently.
Oats did not hold the best prices
of the day. but the close was strong;
provisions rallied on moderate short
covering. Offerings were not heavy
Pork closed unchanged to Al cents
up. Lard 20 to 40 cents higher and
ribs 25 cents up.

Irregular Movement Of Prices Fur.
nish Characteristics Of Dull
Short Session.
THIN SPOTS ARE PROMINENT
Recovery Of Early Losses BY Rally
Near Close Cheers Market
Sentiment.

NEW YORK. Nov 27-Dight trad
ing and uncertain price movements,
rs might be expected. furnished the
characteristics of a rather duh Sat-
surday session. Occasional thin spots
developed. especially during the
first hour when the steels, tire
stocks and some of the oil issues
were under pressure. Crucible ran
of sharply to within a point and a
quarter of the low for the year,
while Southern Pacific was rather
Soft on the construction placed on
the earnings statement for October.
in spite Of an increase in gross
amounting to s5.7so,ooo, the net op-
Grating income showed a decline of
s353,00o.
Sentiment, nevertheless, was
somewhat cheered by the rally
which took place toward the close,
and most of the early losses were
recovered. The announcement made
public to the effect that another
over-extended operator had been
helped out by banking interests
brought forth a flood of varying
comment. By the optimists this
was construed as the removal OF
another weak point in the market
structure. The pessimists took the
view that such helpful influence was
likely to prove only temporary as
the stocks probably would be liqui
dated on any strong spot. The Gym
les, however. agreed with neither
conclusion. They hinted that in all
likelihood the plight of the lame
ducks" had been previously known
to their financial confessors and
that the holdings taken over below
present market levels would be ap-
piled against far sighted operations
for short accounts. This hypothesis
is interesting. even il it be only par
TALLY true, for it would mean that
buyers will be called upon to alb
sorb smaller offerings than would
be the case under other circum-
stances.
Conmodities Hurt stocks.
One OF the disturbing influences
just at present is weakness in the
commodity markets. Declines in
wheat, corn and cotton might be
welcomed for the part they play in
a reduced living cost. The dis
uuieting feature. however, is to be
found in the significance attached
to these declines and their relation
to the credit situation. 1t is re-
ported, for instance, that corn has
sold as low as 25 cents per bpshel
in some Western localities, away
from the railroads. Middling cotton
has been sold as low as IS to 1914
cents in some portions of the South.
The pressure to turn commodities
into cash at a time when buyers
have limited credit is infiicting Sc
we're losses on producers.
Our commodity declines no doubt
are playing a part in firmer foreign
exchanges. in spite of the huge vol
ume Of exports. Europe Is getting
more for its money. In this con-
nection it might be noted that Sep
tember exports of wheat amounted
to SIS, 200, 900 against S40,000,000 last
year and exports of raw cotton were
s41.000,0 900 against s3s,oo0,o0o last
year.

CHAPTER XIV.

George took off his dressing-gown
and put on a collar and tie. his fingers
shaking 50 that the tie was not his
usual success; then he picked up his
coat and waistcoat. and left the room
while still In process Of donning them,
fastening the buttons as he ran down
the front stairs 20 the door. II was
not until he reached the middle OF the
street that he realized that he had for
gotten his hat; and he paused for an
irresolute moment then he decided
that he needed no hat for the sort OF
call he Intended TO make, and went
forward hurriedly. Mrs. Johnson
was at home, the Irish girl who came
TO the door Informed him. and he was
left TO await the lady. In a room like
an elegant well-the Johnsons' IRE
ceptlon room"
Mrs. johnson came I'm, breathing mo-
tlceably; and her round head, smooth
ly but economically decorated with
the hair OF an honest woman, seemed
to be lingering far in the background
OF the Alpine bosom which took pre-
cedence of the rest of her everywhere /;
but when she was all In the room, Il
was 10 be seen that her breathing was
the result OF hospItable haste TO greet
the visitor. and her hand suggested
that she had paused for only the brief
est ablutlons. George accepted this
cold, damp lump mechanically.
"Mr. Amberson-I mean Mr.. Nina
ferl" she exclaimed. I'm really de-
lighted; | understood you asked for
me. Mr.. JOhnson's out OF the city,
but Charlie's downtown and I'm look
ing for him at any minute, now. and
he'll be so pleased that you"
