BULLISH FEATURES
CAUSE A SHARP
COTTON ADVANCE
General Staple List Barely
Steady at a Net Advance of
Nine to Twenty Points
on the Day
BY Associated Press

New YORK, Decem Der 6.-ReportS OF
more favorable political conditions
abroad and other ballish features
caused quite sharp advance in the
cotton market here at the opening
today. No Improvement was reported
in trade demand, however, and after
selling up to 1850 early, January
broke to 1920 In the late trading,
closing at that price. compared with
17.12c at the close of the previous
day. The general market closed
barely steady at a net advance of 9
to 20 points.
The market opened firm at an adj
vance of "a to 80 points, and after
some little irregularity, active months
sold 20 to SO points net higher on the
better Liverpool cables, reports that
the British government had reached
an agreement with Sim Fein leaders,
and belief that prospects that Ger
many would be granted a delay of
three years in cash reparation pay
ments probably explained the CONT
mental buying reported in the English
market.
There was a little trade buying here
and considerable buying for Liverpool
account, but the advance to 1859 for
DeSsHlpti anu 1tfOc Tor March met
scattering liquidation, also some
southern selling. December was rel
atively easy owing to the circulation
of notices against 200 bales, and
prices on later months slipped off a
little more rapidly late in the day
under liquidation by early buyers.
December sold down to 1860 and
March to 17.20c with the market clos
ing at about the low point of the day.
Reports that a private bureau esti-
mated ginning up to December 1 at
7621,000 bales and the total crop at
7.sSO.000 bales, were without any APP
parent influence on the market.
The early advance was promoted
by the final official estimate of the
Egyptian crop, placing 1t at 100000
cantars or about 40 per cent less than
last years production. No change
was reported In the southern spot
basis, but nearly all advances re-
ceived complained of a continued poor
demand, and advices from the goods
trade indicated that demand at first
hands had been checked by the offer
ings of second hands in small lots at
concessions.

New York, December 6.-The STOCK
exchange was fairly active and broad
again today. but the only shares to
display consistent strength were those
favored by technical conditions,
namely, an extensive short interest.
Favorable developments, such as
President Harding's message to Con
gress and the strength of foreign ex-
change, failed to stimulate public
support, but impelled considerable
short covering in the later dealings.
The one feature of the Presidents
message which seemed to cause dis

New York December s.-An echo
of the British-Sinn Fein agreement
was heard in the local financial mar
kets today Sterling. or British ex-
change, rose to $40SA for demand
bills in the course of the day and
slight fraction was added to this after
the close of the market.
These quotations are the highest
for London remittances in almost two
years and suggest that the recent re-
action in the London rate was largely
speculative.
German remittances also showed
decided strength, marks rising to
.0052, or 20 points over their low rec
ord of last month, when they re-
ceded to something less than three
for 1c.
The recovery in German bills oc-
casioned surprise because of the lat
est detailed statement of the Ger
man bank, which disclosed continu-
ance of the enormous output of paper
currency
Swiss exchange rallied to the pre-
war basis at 1890 and most other
continental bills were better by to

SHANNON & CO.'S LETTER

New York, December 6.-(Specia1.)
Trading in cotton has been rather
more active today, but orders have
been SO evenly divided after the buy
ing It the opening and just after
that prices have been almost devoid
of motion.
There may be some pressure from
Christmas cotton or the reports TO
appear in few days may encourage
which may be for a time in excess
of the ability of the market to alb
sorb, but spot firms report no change
in the basis, and that while they pick
up little every day at their limits,
they for the most part sell rather
more than buy, which keeps things
quite healthy. The one thing certain
seems that the market has rarely
been less prepared than at present
to offer a successful resistance to an
upward tendenscy, If once the trade
should for any reason decide to get
some cotton.
Today has been an important one
as far as stock news is concerned
First came the report of the Irish
settlement, always providing that Ill
ster concurs; and then the Presi-
dents speech to Congress- This lat
ter has been awaited with much in
terest, as it is felt that the last
session of Congress was in many
ways disappointment, and that
much better progress would have to
be made with the present session.
The. market, despite its rise in re-
cent months, has shown some re-
Spouse to the days news, and has
been strong and active. 1t looks as
If the short interest in the market
which Is large, is getting a less
and less favorable outlook for the
meeting of their commitments. An
advancing market, such as we have
had of late, naturally increases pub
lie interest and participation in 1t
and usually on the bull side. Of
course we shall have many poor bust
ness statements at the end of the
year, but the disposition is to con-
slider them discounted by the more
favorable future. Post & Flagg.

HUBBARD,S LETTER

New York, December ESPECIALLY
Much brighter political news from
England in reference to the Irish
question, which apparently is at last
approaching settlement, caused a
sharp advance in Liverpool this
morning. Our market responded, but
has again remained dull and quiet at
tho advance. We expect a continu cd
narrow market until better demand
from the trade ppears.-Hpbbard

There is no truth in the frequently
published statement that wheel in the
wrapping of Egyptian mummies has
terminated. Unger and other Egyp-
tians have repeatedly tried without
success to terminate ancient grains
of wheat and other seeds. The en-
IRENE limit of vitality of seeds is
from 20 to 20 years.
