NEW YORK. December 2-The cot
ton market was very quiet again to-
day. There appeared to be little
southern selling and some further
liquidation. which accounted for an
opening decline of 3 to II points, but
the market was fairly steady around
25 cents for January during the early
trading on covering for over the
week end. There was good deal of
bullish comment on the increased ex-
port movement. but it seemed to
bring in no aggressive support. and
the market was so narrow that it re-

NEW YORK. December THE
principal point of interest in the
stock market of the last week was
its Endorsement of the view that the
October and November decline was
due to conditions on the inside of the
stock exchange rather than to con-
ditions outside.
There were. as repeatedly pointed
out by the writer. two possible ways
of looking at the autumn downward
movement. Either it was 4 forerun-
ner of a less favorable business year
than expected in 1928 Ia sign also of
serious uneasiness over the economic
situation in Europe, with its ulti-
mate bearing upon world finances).
or it was simply the rough handling
Of Il speculative position which had
become overextended and weak as
the result of the eXtravaSant trading
of the spring and summer.
After what has happened during
the last few days there can ne no
longer any doubt as to which of these
two versions is correct. The down.
ward swing which began just after
Labor day and which eliminated at
the start of the past week went to
quite as much of an extreme as the
Pools the Main Sufferers.
Probably few experiences have been
moro bitter FOR professional Wall
street. In the great decline of 1920
II there We're, it is true. numerous
instances where wealthy capitalists
and banking Interests met with very
serious losses. Brt il was the !,nn'ic
that was the main sufferer. On the
recent uectin, tnr pupIic was not
caught To any such extent. What
happened was that pools. unable to
unload :htir stocks in the midsum- :
lner campa !.;n. were gradually forced
out by The pressure OF the banks
and stock exchange authorities ana
by the severity of the break itself.
This disruption OF Speculative syn
GicateS WAS " hat threw the, market
INTO such decentralization and carried
the decline To- greater lengths than
Wall street could have anticipated.
Now. with the completion OF the
forced selling. prices have had their
natural r"coil and there is general
perception that the downward move
lnent had no unfavorabie significance
so far as concerned domestic trade
or political and economic affairs
abroad. Favorable items in the busl-
ness news have once more begun 10

Individual Conditions Big Factor.

are looking forward to still greater
rush Of business next spring.
1t would be a mistake. however. to
read int" the outlook for 1928 any
thing resembling a business boom.
Rather. the promise is for a period Of
active competition and small profit
marglns-a relatively large volume
of production. but generally moderate
returns. One problem pressing for
settlement is how freight rates on
agricultural products can be brought
down so as to give the farmer his ac-
cuStomed income and at the same
time not deprive capital invested in
IN" always of a fair yield. The ad-
vance in farm price since the middle
Of September has been very helpful in
this connection

rate reduction might disappear. But

the Secretary of Commerce which pro-
poses general shake-up of rate

would lose through decrease in the
tariff on farm products would be made
up to them through increase in other
directions.
Pressure Lifted From Rail Stocks.
AT all events. it does not seem like
lF that any amendments to the pres
ent transportation act will pass the
present short session of Congress-
! With this pretty well assured the
pressure has been lifted from railway
securities and they have had their full
share in the weeks recovery
Ster!ing exchange. at new high
! for the year. and the highest since
l9l9. and Italian lire with a gain of a
full cent from the October low, are in
cidents of much significance for the
! financial situation abroad. There are,
! in fact. no longer any obstacles to pre-
Vent the British pound from getting
gack to its old-tiIsle parity, except the
necessity of providing at regular in
tervals for the service of the Ameri-
can war debt. This is not serious
matter because the four billions owed
by Great Britain to the United States
ternational balance sheet and the an
: nual interest rerhoned in as part of
! the British budget.
! Recovery In Francs Checked,
Meanwhile the recovery in the
; French franc has been checked in
the manner expected. The notable
d. fiation in French paper note issues
between the first week in October
and the third week in November was
only made possible by an equivalent
repayment by the government to the
account. This could not keep on
with the government having deficit
Obviously such repaylnents were
only temporary and. as the latest
figures show. the government has be-
gun to borrow again from the bank
and the latter has had to increase it's
note issues correspondingly All this
has happened while French politi-
clans have been insisting more loud
ly than ever that reduction of the
military forces-the only logical and
certain means by which the French
budget can ever be balanced-is quite
out of the question.
