New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, November 6.-Selling pressure was almost constant in the cot ton market today and the result was that prices opened lower, there were few upturns during the session and lowest prices came toward the end, when the active months were 60 to 73 points under the final prices of yesterday. Some lit- tie realizing of profits on the short side made the close steady and the net change for the day was loss of 45 to 5S points. Early offerings were unquestionably induced by the unfavorable tone Of weekly reviews of trade in general and unfavorable references to the state Of trade among cotton mills, while the later selling was caused by expectations of large ginning returns in the report due from the census bureau Monday morning. Bullish news had almost no influence and the market paid little attention to reports that Liverpool had been a large buyer of spots after hours here yester- day and that further business had been put through in the early hours of today. The prospects of much rain in the belt over Sunday were received in the same way. Spot quotations were reduced 50 points to 1925c for middling, while De- cember contracts sold down to 1S.20c and closed at 1S.37c.

BARNES' STATEMENT
 AFFECTED GRAIN IN THE CHICAGO PIT
Corn Broke Sharply Under General Selling, With De- ferred Deliveries Low

By Associated Prnss


 Chfcago, NoVemDer u.-An grains were affected today by the statement of Julius Barnes, former director general of the United States Grain corporation. before the American farm bureau federation yesterday, wheat suffering the greatest 52I to S1tc, with December $1.0 to S1.90A and March s1.S7 to $lS714; corn was off 15s to 21ac; oats showed a net loss of seven eighths to 11sc and provisions ranged 15 to 5Sc lower Sentiment in wheat was extremely bearish, general business and economic conditions throughout the world being the main influence. The statistical position of wheat, while un- doubtedly strong attrbuteid little atten- tion in view of the fact that Argentine and Australia are now competing with the United States in wheat for the world market and the foreign demand for do- nestle wheat has fallen off materially. At the low point today December showed more than 21 cents under the high of Wednesday and the December March spread narrowed to around 31ac at one time, against SAc at the close Wednes- day Country offerings were not large and shipping sales here aggregated 130- 900 bushels.
 Corn broke sharply under general sell ing and closed at about inside figures of the day with prices on the deferred de- lfveries about lowest on the crop. Oats followed other grains and de- clined readily.
 Provisions declined on selling by scat tered longs on the weakness of grains.

 Tobacco, textile and food issues em braced the weaker specialties and sea- soned rails, including the promine nt features of the mid-week, lost 1 to 2 points, an unsettled tone ruling at the close. Sales amounted to 575,000 shares.
 News of the day was not of a char acter to inspire confidence. British French and Italian rates of exchanges were in further state of demoraliza- a- tion atd domestic advice tended to con- firm known conditions in the textile and allied trades, with emphasis on the pronounced increase of unemployment.

FURTHER SEVERE . DECLINE IN STAPLE ON BEAR REPORTS
At Close of the Session General List Closed Barely Steady at a Decline of Thirty-five
 to Seventy-tWo Points
By Associnted Press

New York, November 6.-The cotton market showed renewed weakness and further severe decline today with January contracts selling off to 1860, or 68 points net lower and more than 37a cents per pound below the high point reached on the end, October re- covery. That delivery closed at 1865 with the general list closing steady at decline of 35 to 72 points,
 The factors chiefly responsible for the continuation of the selling move ment were considered practically the same as those mentioned during yes terdays late trading. They included reports of increased spot offerings in the south, more active hedge selling continued depression in the goods trades and apprehensions that the weakness of foreign exchange would further curtail demand for export. The sharp break in grain may also have contributed to the weakness as some local cotton traders took it as indicat- ing that holding movements could not be expected to fully sustain prices dur ing the height of new crop movement but the feature was the heavy southern selling and reports of an easier spot situation.
 The market at the low point showed net losses of 55 to 70 points with De- cember selling at 1910 and March 1S4S Closing prices were within few points of the lowest, although there was con- siderable covering or profit-taking for over the weekend. Reports from the west indicated that recent colder weather had increased retail trade tc some extent and expressed more hope. full views of the business outlook, but sales of print cloths at Fall River fol the week showed only a very sligh increase, being estimated at 2O,o0( pieces.

WEEKLY DRY GOODS
By Associated Presn

New York, November 6.-An unsettled cotton market continues to add to the difficulty of pricing cotton goods on buyers There has been some gain in the light volume of business done, all though prices accepted have been ex- ceedingly low and are based upon the assumption that cotton will hold around 2o-21 cents in the fields, and wages will be reduced, thus bringing about lower costs of productoin to meet the lower prices buyers demand. This week several of the leading lines of colored cottons made in the south. such as chambrays, cheviots plaids, tickings. stripes. etc, have been priced on a basis of 60 per pound for delivery in November and De- cember, while some of the best lines of southern staple ginghams have been priced on a basis of 11M 715 and Sih cents a yard. these latter prices being the same that were named after the arm
 stice in 1913, when cotton and wages were lower than they are today. It is believed by selling agents that these prices will soon stimulate new purchases as they are the lowest that are likely to be made for some time.
 Eastern mills have not yet met the new price levels. Prints and percales are expected to be reprced shortly and before the middle of the month it is be- lieved that all of the leading cotton goods line will be on a price basis below which they cannot go on foodstuffs. Cur tailment prediction throughout the in- dustry is very extensive, some centers operating only four days a week and many of the fine cloth and fine yarn n ills not operating more than 40 per cent of capacity.
 Prices are: Print cloths. 2S-inch 64x6Os 4s. 71a cents. 64sx60s, 7A; 3S1a-inch 64x64s, 101A cents brown sheetings. southern standards Is cents: denims 2.20c, A cents, nominal tickings s ounce, 90 cents; springs. 2 cents, nominal staple einPhams. southern, 111a cents eastern dress gnRham 25 and 271s cents.

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

1 New York, November 6.-The pres idential election was unique in the lis
 tory of the local financial markets in
 the sehse that it was neither preceded
 nor followed by any pronounced change i from long prevailing irregular condi- tions.
 Railroad shares were unusually ac- tive and variably higher, while indus
 trials, shippings and numerous special ties recorded further declines. These divergent movements, it was generally conceded, however, bore not the re.not- est relation to the political situation. The one definite event of the '7eek was the announcement made by the Southern Pacific directors of the com lpany's purpose to separate it's oil lands from the main system by means not lyet determined, but which plainly fo. e. shadow substantial benefit interest to shareholders. This action contributed ! to the strength of other transpo:ta- ] tions, some of which are believed to possess valuable hidden assets" Sev- IeraI of the western and southern rails iof secondary importance were bought | in the belief that stategic positions to mergers of traffic agreements. Trade conditions and the money mar ket offered litta comfort to any but the short account, the industrial situa- tion indicating steady retrogression in virtually all leading lines of manufac- ture and commerce. with no wis ble I, diminution of the strain on credits, particularly at western and southern points.
 Practically every European center
 was affected by the further collapse of foreign exchange. The British rate declined to the lowest point since last March, French, Italian, Dutch, Swiss and Spnaish bills meanwhile estab- l fishing new low levels.
 November disbursements accelerated
 the inquiry for new investment issues all of which were offered on an eight per cent basis, that figure now being accepted as the regular rate of re- turn. Foreign, state and municipal governments are likely to negotiate ad- ditional loans here before the end of the year.
