COTTON RECOVERED ABOUT 1 CENT PER
 POUND YESTERDAY
General List Closed Firm at a Net Advance of 15 Points on October and Over 100 on
 Active Positions
By Associated Press

New York, October 19.-There was a. recovery of about a cent a pound in the cotton market here today as result of covering after recent severe declines, hope that the British coal strike might soon be settled ard reports of small southern offerings. December contracts sold up to lS96c. or 106 points above the close of yesterday, and closed at 1s.9Oc. with the general list closing firm at a net advance of 15 points on October and of 100 to 115 points on the more active positions.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 10 to IS points in response to unexpect- edly strong cables, accompanied by ru- mors that British coal miners had asked fory another conference with the govern nlent. Liverpool and houses with other foreign connections were active buyers while southern hedge selling was much less active than recently and the active positions soon showed net advances of 100 to 120 points. Stop orders placed around the ring by recent sellers were uncovered and after their execution, the buying became less urgent with prices easing off during the middle of the day on apprehensions of increased eastern belt spot offerings, These were promoted by some of the private adviees from Georgia but hedge selling continued in
 small volume and afteF- reactions Of 30 to 60 points. the market firmed up again
 on the reports of rain in the southwest and unfavorable western belt forecast and reports that the holding movement was becoming tighter in western belt markets. Some months made the high est prices of the day in the late trading with January selling at 1Ss0c or 125 points net higher The close was several points off from the best under realizing. Private cables from Liverpool said there was a probability of early settlement of the strike but that the industrial sit nation meanwhile was serious Port re 1 eeipts for the day. were 63.466 United States port stocks 1,0373 Exports, | eos making 72o 96s so far this season.

New OrleanE Cotton By Associated Press

New Orleans October 19,--A strong tendency to react sharply from the de- cline was in evidence in the cotton mar ket today and there were upward move- ments on the opening and a gain on the close which finally carried prices about six dollars bale over the final quota tions of yesterday, December trading up
 to 1s.46c at it's best. The tone on the close was strong with prices at net gains of no to t22 points.
 The opening was active and higher in response to a sensationally good Liver pool market, caused, according to private oabiegrams, by hope of another confer cree on the coal strike. After advances of 105 to 12o points mad been made the market commenced to sag under realiz- ing of profits by early buyers and on selling by traders who were unfavorably
 impressed by reports that French miners
 were demanding higher wages and or ra ther extensive short time movement among South Carolina mills. Pressure to sell finally became sufficient to pare
 gains down to about fifty points but in the later trading the fear of bad weather over the belt and reports from interior points that farmers were stubborn hold CTS of spots, with picking ceasng here and there and an organized movement in portions of the eastern belt to quit ginning for sixty days, caused heavy

HEAVY SELLING OF GRAIN
 CAUSES BEARlSH ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN GRAIN PIT
By Associated Pres.

Chicago, October 19.-Bearish economic conditions, especially the transatlantic coal strike, brought about heavy selling of grain today, and forced prices lower. Wheat closed nervous, 5s4 to 61kc down, corn was off. 2ss to 315c, and oats at a setback of 1A to 1isc and 15sc. In pro- visions, the outcome varied from S11o a declined to 5c advance.
 One of the big elevator companies led the selling of wheat but the pressure on the market was from many sources and includes both liquidation and short selling. About the only support came from bears containing profits. Weakness of foreign exchange, together with com parative lack of export demand kept at tention focused the greater part of the time on developments regarding the
 British coal miners Special notice. how
 ever, was also taken of a warning said to have been given by the Kansas state
 banking commissioners office that far mers should sell their wheat. Besides, a prominent banker here was quoted as 1 asserting that lowering of commodity prices must continue. - Under such cir cumstances rallies though frequent were brief. After the close, it was said France , and Belgium had taken 500,0OO bushels Corn and oats fell with wheat Corn touched the lowest level in three years Provisions reflect the weakness of grain and hogs Losses were heaviest on pork.

THE PERFECT SYSTEM OF THE
 FINANCIAL MACHINERY

Undoubtedly this loan has been in the course of gradual prepa yment for some time One of the members of the syn dicate was of the opinion that not much more than SaO00 600 would be paid in at the last moment, because probably as much as 1900 O000o0 had already been utii- ized in advance, so that more thar one half of the loan was really out of the way before the day of settlement came. But if s3o0, ,O0000O was gradually accumulated, and then set apart so that 1t might be utilized in payment of this loan, mo- body excepting the bankers and the gov ernments of Great Britain and France knew much of anything about these transactions. They were carried on by means of the almost marvellous symmetry of the international and national financial organization of these modern times. Had it not been for brief published references the public would have had no more knowledge of what was under way than did the people when $40,O0o,OOo in gold was sent to France to pay for the Pan anna canal, that transaction having oc- casioned not the slightest ripple. This loan and the liquidation of it will here after be regarded as of importance enough to be named among the traditions of American finance. partly because 1t was the first very large foreign loan the United States ever made, partly because the success of it furnished evidence Of our ability to handle much larger trans actions, as we began to do two years later after we became one of the bellig- Arents.

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

New York, October 1e.-(SpeciaL )-When in the first administration of Theodore Roosevelt s4O,ooo,OoO in gold was sent to ton of foreign exchange, so that whatever
 title remained with the French in the Panama canal undertaking might pass to
 the United States. the public was not aware that this unprecedented ship
 ment of gold had been made. The trans
 action was facilitated by J. P Morgan x
 Co. acting in cooperation with the treas
 ury department at Washington. When
 a few days later brief announcement
 was made that the United States had sent
 this gold to France the transaction was
 spoken of as without any precedent and
 sure to become traditional Moreover it
 furnished an excellent demonstration Of the perfection to which modern interna- tional financial machinery had been
 brought.
 No one could have foreseensat that time that a reverse action upon much larger scale in international financing would be undertaken some ten years later, and then liquidated after five years had passed, involving 500,0o0.o0o Tn those earlier days the United States was 9 debtor nation. Our indebtedness to in- vestors and others across the seas was cs- timated at about s4, O00 000, GOO. That seemed | to some appalling. and yet the amount was approximately the same as that which the government will be compelled
 a year and half or two years from HOW | so to finance that the so-called vrc,ory Loan Bonds may be paid. So rapidly has this country advanced to the first | position.
 l The Anglo French loan which was liqui-
 dated Friday of last week, although
 sl00, 900 of it is represented by new | loan France recently floated in the United States, will undoubtedly be named by tradition as the first demonstration that the United States had passed or was passing from the condition of debtor 1 to that of credited nation.
 A TRIPLE IN COMPARISON This loan in comparison with some which the United States floated at home after war upon Germany was declared was a trifle. Yet the magnitude Of the proposition as originally made caused l serious apprehension about the ability of | the United States to float a joint loan made by Great Britain and France of $5aC, ,000, GOO. In fact. in some parts of the country bankers learned of the proposi- tion only to speak of it either with indif- 1 ference or else with criticism. Tradi- tional as the transaction is sure to be- come probably the complete history of il can never be written. To do so would
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-10-20

involve names of bankers who were dis posed to turn their backs upon the propo- sition It would make clear that one sec ton of the country was at first opposed to the loan It would narrate with some thing like dramatic expression the va rious strategies and the insstent pres sure, often personal which the American syndicate that had been formed to float the loan was compelled to put forth. Of course details of that kind could not be made public. Some of them, however, were confidentially told, and it did become known that at one time it seemed to be
 impossible to secure subscriptions to the last $l0O, ,0o0, GOO of the proposed loan.
 Undoubtedly the attempt would have been a failure had it not been for the
 leadership of J. F. Morgan and the faith which was inspired by his public an nouncement that the loan was absolutely safe. that it was also imperative that the United States make it, and that it would be paid in full according to it's
