COTTON MARKET.

The cotton market was enc OF many
swings yesterday and its final prices
were but little changed from saturday
closing level. At one time il was strong
I'm tone and up about so to ~ points
from Saturdays finish. On the whole
its tone was fairly firm except In its
last half hour. The advance was due
chiefly to covering by the ring element,
support from trade interests and prob
ably little new buying investment.
Bullish factors included an unsettled
weather map. promise of colder condi-
tions for to-day, a somewhat steadier
stock market. easier money and Wash
ington advices which indicated that
Southern financiers were making strong
efforts to increase export business.
Initial sales were 10 points lower to
IL points higher. The markets tendency
was upward Immediately after the call,
and II was not lorg before an advance
of 35 to AZ points had been recorded.
From that level profit taking by por-
fesslonal longs carried prices back
about Is points. The markets tone,
however, continued firm. Liverpool
brokers were forenoon buyers and there
was some support by commission houses.
In the early afternoon the market con-
tinued its advance and before the end
of the fourth hour the list was so to
~ points net higher.
Late in the session rather sudden
wave of long liquidation and renewed
pressure from the South in a market
temporarily without support caused a
sharp break, virtually every point of
the advance being lost. Bearish rumors
regarding the Southern spot situation
tended to make for more unsettled last
hour feeling. Professional bears sold
right up to The close, which was within

should have produced herself. The pos

PLANNING TO HURRY
ANTI-DUMPING BILL
Early Start to Be Taken on
Measure in December Con-
gress Session.
Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Wa shinrfnn ID O. NM IL

New YORK Herald bureau,
Washington. ID. c., Nov. IL. !
A strong demand for the prompt pass
age of an anti-dumpng bill exists
among members of the Siyty-sixth
Congress returning to Washington for
the short session which will continue
from December 6 until the next Ad
ministration enters office. March A.
Many believe such a measure SHOULD
be one of the first to receive consdera-
ton. because of the peculiar situation
existing in regard to tariff laws. Their
point is that, with much higher tariff
virtually certain when Republicans as
sumo control of the Government the
country will be flooded with products
of cheap foreign labor during the mex
few months in an effort of European
manufacturers and producers Of com
modities to get the greatest amount
possible into the country before the
higher tariff rates become effective.
There is obviously little hope of re-
vising the tariff schedules before this
expected flood of foreign products would
reach this country. since such work even
when done speedily requires months of
time by the two houses of Congress.
Little more than hearings on the new
rates can be accomplished before March
A. due 10 the TACT tnat the fteptDllcd1
lardslide of November 2 has placed 81
many new members in bot'l houses.
Those advocating prompt action on
TIC anti-dumping bill claim that it, by
providing that foreign products cannot
be imported into. this country at pricas
less than the cost of production abroad,
o. less than the foreign selling price,
would be a big check in preventing
large supply of foreign goods from
reaching this country and causing big
losses to American manufacturers and
t. creased unemployment for working
men.
1t is believed that an extra large
amount of the foreign products would be
sent at extremely low prices In the
hope that higher tariff would cause
t'.er value to increase greatly Thus the
foreign manufacturers could avoid the
tariff and make large profits unless the
anti-dumping measure was passed
"A anti-dumping bill failed of passage
last session, due to the jam in legislation
just before adjournment and to some
opposition that was expressed in the
Senate. 1t was strongly advocated by
Senator Smoot (Utah) and Chairman
Fordney of the House Ways and Means
Committee and Representative Long
worth of Ohio Senator Smoote and MI.
Fordney have both sent word that they
will demand prompt action on the meas
ure when Congress convenes.

GENERAL PRICE CUT IN
GASOLINE PREDICTED
Reduction of One Cent by
Standard Oil Leads MoUe..

Nationwide reduction In the price of
gasolene, following the cut of one cent
a gallon made by the Standard oil Com
pany OF New Jersey, is predicted by the
National Automobile Chamber of Com

The American Petroleum Institute pre-
diets q domestic oil output Of 450, 900, 900
barrels, plus 125.0OO.0o0 from Mexico. This
means a gain of 10 per cent. In the
American fields. With the increased
output goes a saving of much fuel for
merly wasted The Bureau of Mines
says 800. coo can be saved out of the
500 100000 gallons which eyaporates from
the oil on the way through pipe lines to
the refneries,
Refining companies have increased the
production of gasolene by Introducing
better cracking" processes. American
production reached its highest figure for
the year in August-i4.S27.li3 gallons.
