New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, November S.-Lowcf prices in the early trading in cotton to- day were followed by strong reaction which carried the market to net ad- vances, with good undertone still pre- yailing on the close when the active months were at net gains for the day of 27 to 8 points. December traded as low as 17.90c and reacted as high as 1S7Sc, closing at 1S.69c. The tone on the close was firm.
 The early selling was mainly due to the larger ginning returns than expected from the census bureau. which counted the output to the first of November al 7,4n ,352 bales, indicating ginning for this last period on 1759,000 bales, against 1,37e,00O year ago and 9e6,000 two years ago. On this showing and the weakness of foreign exchange the market fell to levels 23 to 47 points under the final prices of Saturday. Shorts commenced to realize profits and a good demand for long account was felt. the latter being stimulated to a considerable extent by the large export movement which, for the day. amounted to 52,226 bales, against 21 S07 this day last year
 BXN midsession the decline was alto gether lost and the market at small de' clines, which in the afternoon were widened to 32 to IS points. Prospects of unfavorable weather, unsettled to showery, over large part of the bels were a buying argument with some traders.

NEW BREAKS IN WHEAT YESTERDAY CAUSED BY
 DEPRESSION OF EXCHANGE
By Associated Press

Chicago, November S.--Wheat sui fered big new breaks in price today simultaneously with acute depression of foreign exchange and with liberal recepits at Kansas City and Omaha. The market closed unsettled "A to cents net lower with December tS4is to 1S41b and March 1s2 to 1s21h. Corn finished
 s to 9s cent higher and oats un- changed to A cent. up. In provisions the outcome varied from the same as Saturdays finish to 20 cents lower
 Sentiment regarding wheat was in = tensely bearish from the outset and prices fell to the lowest levels of the session. Generalization of foreign ex- change was accepted on all sides as in- dicating an increased handicap on ex- port business, an opinion that was emphasized by news of the failure of an export concern at New York al- though the failure did not appear to have resulted from dealings in grain Besides the liberal arrivals at Kansas City and Omaha messages from the southwest told of heavy notices of con signment from the country and if was contended in some quarters that the farmers strike had been broken. Sell Ing was general and at no time did the market show much power to rally. Corn and oats developed firmness. ow Ing to scantiness of arrivals of corn and to evening up for the government report The government figures on corn, however. proved bearish. Pro visions were depressed by lower ouota- tions on hogs.

FURTHER DECLINE
 IN COTTON MARKET
 DID NOT HOLDLONG
At the Close the General List Was Steady, Ten Points Off to Thirty
 Higher
By Associated Press

New York, November S.--A further de- cline in the cotton market during to- days early trading attracted profit talk ing by recent sellers and was followed by sharp rallies. January contracts sold up from lS35c to 19.06c, or fl points above the closing price of Saturday. and closed at 1S95c, with the general list clos ing steady net 10 points lower to 90 points higher, near months. being relatively firm.
 The market was weak and unsettled during the early trading owing to de- clines in Liverpool, liberal ginning re- turns, the weakness of foreign exchange and reports of continued trade depres- sion! First prices were unchanged to 29 points lower, and the active positions nights close before the end of the first hour, with December touching lS.S5c and March 1S.a0c.
 There was some southern selling at the start but later offerings from that source were decidedly smaller, while the decline of about S73 points from the best previous prices touched on the end. Oc- tober really seemed sufficient to stimu- late covering. There was also buying for a reaction and some demand from the trade on the advance which followed with the market reaching the best point in the late session when December sold at 19.50c and March at 1S.Sec. Closing prices were a few points off from ths best under realizing. There may have been some buying on prospects for wet weather in the south, but local brokers attributed the advance, to the stronger technical position and covering rather than to any change in the general char hcter of the news. Ginning to Novem- Der 1 amounted to 7,471, ,352 bales, but the outturn for the last period being the heaviest since 1914, which local traders took as strengtheing the larger estimates of the yield. Port receipts today, 56,S5l United States port stocks, 1,169,23O. EN- ports today, 52,226, making 1,20s,445 so far this season.

D DRASTIC SELLING IN STOCK MARKET DURING THE SESSION
wv e e k-E md Developments
 Played Into the Hands of Shorts on Wall Street
By Associated Press

M New York, November S.-The stoci Nmarket was the center of another dras- tic selling movement today, every branch fof the list yielding to the increasins tweight of liquidation at extreme reces- sions of to z points.
 A There were occasional halts and feeble Hrallies, but these were succeeded by ! afresh offerings in which new low levels ] 1were registered. The tone of the market N at the close was weak on total sales of { l,9ooo0 shares. Among the stocks that Fsuffered greatest Impairment were those comprising the shipping, steel, equip 'ment, oil and motor groups; but even the gilt-edge railway issues did not es- cape the general reversal, all save a few of the transcontnentals for l to points.
 Developments over the weekend played into the hands of the shorts, the opera tions of that faction adding substan- tially to the days settlement, especially in the industry and specialties, for which there was a very light demand. Increased pessimisim was engendered by another deficit in clearing house re- serves. the lower ratio of reserves re- ported by the federal reserve bank ana tightening of local funds, call loans again
 
 per cent.
 These conditions were intensified by tho further demoralization of foreign ex- change and the statement of a promi- ncnt firtancier that the country is 'en the threshold of period of industrial depression which may justify corrective legislation.
 The break in foreign carried sterling down to within 15c of it's minimum quo taton in the market, while French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish and Scandina- vian receipts were at the lowest levels ever recorded.
 Liber.y bonds and Victory notes react ed moderately and the bond market at :t whole was affected by the weakness of stocks, rails, industria1s and inter- nations closing at variable reactions.
 Total sales par value, s13,45o,0O0.
 old United States bonds were un- changed on call.

New York November S.--(Special,) )-Ca- bles were not quite SO low as due thia morning but adyices from Liverpool stated that conditions continue unsatis- factory and that if it had not been fo, the break in exchange a further decline would have taken place Buying or ders from that market made their ap- pearance in large quantities after the opening here, representing the undoins, of straddles This buying was sufficien to absorb the offerings so that prices gradually advanced some l94 cents pound from the law. There was alse some investment buying on the theory that we should have substantial rally This will probably take place. but at the same time there seems to be nothing new in the general buAness situation Of 2 sufficiently cheerful Character to War rant q permanent advance. e.Hubbard Brothers.
