SHANNON & co.'s LETTER

New York, November 25.-(Special.)
There is not much to say about to-
days stock market excepting that 1t
has been a surprise to everybody by
the vigor which it has shown and the
substantial advances scored. The
news has been almost nil. and the
early part of the week has been so
dull that Wall street rather expected
between now and Christmas the mar
ket would hold around current fig
ures. Instead of that we have had
a vigorous advancing market, hold
ing out distinct promise for the flu
ture. The market closed at or near
the eest figures and was very strong.
Total sales 760400
The cotton market has been ner-
vous and irregular all day, with an
easier tone rejecting disappointing
cables. followed by active selling
early through Liverpool houses in
spite of adviees that there would be
no short time in Lancashire and that
the Indian boycott against English
goods is slowly but surely dying
away, suggesting renewal of de-
mand for goods from that quarter
with corresponding increase in vol
ume of business in Manchester.
Many small and weaker shorts have
covered up and much cotton was put
out at higher levels than these by the
bigger shorts. who are not, therefore,
as yet suffering from anaemia of the
pocketbook, and who still believe that
forced selling will sooner or later
make it's appearance and are satisfied
to hold on and wait for that-Post &

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
A aaoaio Il

New Orleans, November 25-Sell-
ing pressure was felt by cotton to-
day from the opening. and in the late
trading prices were SIS to rs points
under the close of Wednesday. The
close was at net losses on the day
of % to 70 points. December went
as low as 17.15c, and closed at the
lowest; January traded down to
1715c, and closed at 17.20c.
On the opening the market was
depressed by the poor Liverpool and
unfavorable opinion of European poll
itics. December notices did not have
much effect at first, tenders here
amounting to 5000 bales, and the
notices were quickly stopped. In the
late trading, however it was claimed
that the small number of notices in
New York, calling for tenders of only
2,200 bales, according to messages
reaching here. were still circuldt-
ing, and this report helped to carry
the market to it's lowest levels. An
other unfavorable feature of the late
trading was the unconfirmed report
that the state of Louisiana had quar-
antined against New Mexico, Texas.
Oklahoma and Arkansas on account
of the pink boil worm, which action,
if really carried into effect, it was
feared, would restrict exports.

WHEAT SWINGS UP
ON STRENGTH OF
FOREIGN MARKETS
Corn Lost by a Fraction Of a
Cent, While Oats Gained
About the Same as.
Corn Lost

Chicago, November 25.-wheat took
an inward swing in value today,
largely by way of response to
Thanksgiving strength of foreign
markets The close was unsettled,
l1fc to 1 Bc net higher, with Deem
Der $1.12 to SLIPS and May s1.15 to
sl.l5%. Corn lost bQAc to &c, and
oats gained IS to &c. In provisions
the outcome varied from sc decline
to 15c advance.
General buying accompanied the
upturn in the wheat market but
after midday much profit taking on
the part of holders was material set
back. Less favorable crop reports
from Argentina were among the
chief bullish factors. The wheat
crop in southern portions. including
some of the best wheat territory in
Argentina were said to have been
hurt by drouth. Increasing serious
ness of drouth reports from Kansas
was also noted, and some hot wealth
er damage to late sown wheat in Aus
tralia. Furthermore, Japan was said
to be buying Australian wheat on a
big scale and India, too, taking a
liberal quantity, thus reducing the
amount available for Europe. De-
spite the fact that realizing sales
late in the session took the edge off
the wheat advance, bulls professed to
be satisfied, especially as some fresh
European buying of domestic hard
winter wheat was talked of.
Enlarged rural offerings of corn
more than counterbalanced in the
corn market at the last the effect of
wheat strength and of export demand
for corn in all positions. Oats seemed
to be governed mainly by the action
of wheat.
Provisions advanced with hogs, but
later reacted because of packers
selling.

Weekly Review of
Cotton Shows Up

BRIGGS


New York November 25.--The buy
ing movement which had developed
in the cotton market coincidentally
with the opening of the arms confer
ence at Washington, continued during
the earlier part of the past week. Be-
fore the adjournment for over
Thanksgiving Day January contracts
sold at 1850, making a recovery of
little over s12 per bale as compared
with the low level of November Il.
The market then showed evidence of
an easier technical position. And
there were rather sharp reactions to-
day as a result of realizing or selling
for a reaction.
The advances of the earlier week
were promoted by the firmer tone
OF Liverpool and reports that the
indian boycott of foreign made cotton
goods was losing ground. This sug-
gested that Lancashire was receiving
renewed inquiries from its East In
dian outlets while an advance of ia

SUGAR MARKET


New York, November 25.-The raw
sugar market was quiet and prices
were unchanged at 3.S7h to 4.11c for
centrifugal. The raw sugar futures
market was steady early and prices
showed advances of 1 to 5 points on
covering but near the close eased
off under liquidation, except Decenl-
Der, which closed at the top. Finas
bids were five points higher to one
net lower but the volume of business
was light, as operators were inclined
to hold off owing to the unsettle j
