NEW ORLEANS, La. Nov. 20.--Cotton opened strong and soon climbed to new from Paris predicting an early agreement among the allies and expectation of bullish ginning figures from the census
 Postponernent of settlement of the diff ferences between the allies until after the market closed and rumors of larger gnnings than recently predicted took away much of the early incentive for buy ing by bringing forward an element of realizing in ths afternoon.
 Good buying developed on the dips and well and ended the day with small net gain.

 There was also a rumor that ono of bulish crop estimate.
 The general expectation is for ginnings last Ia T year. We are Inclined to to the view view that the ginnings will come larger this time than generally expected in view of active operation by the census bureau and good weather that prevailed in last half of the period.
 Sentiment is so strongly bullish that higher prices are likely if the ginning come anywhere near expectations.
 NEW YORK, Noe. 2o.-cotton opened in new high ground on the better for eign news and higher sterling exchange with Liverpool a good buyer here. There was also buying by Wall street and for the trade. Longs apparently supplied the bulk of tho contracts. The low for the tional >Ginners had revised their ginning figure upwards but 1t developed later 1t was only corrected by eight or ten thou sand bales. The government ginning is expected to approximate the National Ginners and be between S.250,o0o and s.300,000 bales. Such figure will con firm small crop ideas and should hold the market at present levels or force it higher.

WHEAT ADVANCES FOLLOWED BY SAG

CHICAGO, Nov. 2o.-Although wheat today at first showed an ad- vance, the market later sagged as a result of selling, which followed 8 denial that the United States gov- ernment was contemplating relief work In Germany. Closing quota tions were easy 1s to $ net lower, December, s1.O2B to $1.o2b to A and May, s1.0S. Corn finished lz to A down; oats, unchanged to $s high CT, and provisions varying from lOc decline to 12 gain.
 Unexpected strength of the Liver pool wheat market was largely re- sponsible for an upturn in the open ing prices here and for slight fur ther rise that ensued. Reports that American, British and Dutch bank CTS are considering a loan to Ger many may also have Induced some buying here. No mention of the American government was made m this connection but bears were quick to emphasize a Washington dispatch quoting Secretary Hoover in denial of any government plan for Ger man relief. Demand dwindled dur ing the remainder of the day, and with many traders turning to the selling side the early gains were more than wiped out.
 Deliveries which took place on Mo- vember contracts here and some sales to go to store had a tendency to check any late rally in wheat values. There was talk also that Toledo was continuing to receive imports of Canadian wheat duty paid, and 1t was estimated that 700,- 900 bushels of the foreign wheat had reached Toledo so far this week. Suggestions were current too that enlargement of the United States visible supply might mean heavy carry over next July.
 Favorable weather for husl1ing had a bearish influence on the corn market despite comparative small ness of arrivals. Offerings of oats were limited.
 Lard was in demand, but meets reflected selling pressre.

By WALTER E. BROWN

Leased Wire to The Age-Herald)

 Much of the strength in the mar ket is due to the overwhelming sen timent in favor of tax reduction re- yealed by the flood of communica- @eions from business organizations and Individuals pouring into Washington. Public opinion is a most powerful weapon. No one as yet has had the temerity to try and contradict Sec
 ary Mellon on his facts. He has
 own that with the same effort put -atto the curtailment of government expenditures that the late President Harding insisted upon reduction in axation is possible to a substantial : Gegree. The public has been so heavily taxed for the past seven or eight years that the possibility of some relief from it is too great f boon to be passed up without struggle.
 g Regardless of how taxation is ap- piled, it spread itself throughout the community and no one escapes from it. A tax upon industry, for exam. pie, is passed along to the consumer. It has to be. If taxes were not ab- sorbed in the selling price of manu- factured product, they would wipe out the profits and the manufacture of that particular product would soon cease. High surtaxes on individual incomes have not accomplished what they were supposed to do. They have simply driven wealth into hiding into the nine billion dollars of tax exempt securities. The. ease with which these securities have been sold has tempted states and municipalities into wild extravaganza and tre- mendously added to the burden of local taxation while the taxes which the rich ought to have to be shoul- dered by the rest of the community.

 Trading today has been quite active and In the main decidedly strong, but with good deal of irregularity. The market is still under the impulse afforded by the constructive program for tax revision pro- posed by Secretary Mellon. and the very favorable response through the country to his suggestion. It lays before Congress when 1t assemblies a definite and helpful plan for the reduction of war taxes which are proving excessive at the end of five years from the arnistice, and presents a clear-cut issue between further financial embarrassment through a soldiers bonus and a substantial relief in the existing heavy taxes. This is matter of such has given the market a new and broad foundation for optimism.
 There has been much talk of an extra dividend or distribution by Baldwin, but the prospect of such move is flatly denied by the president of the company in an interview today, which has somewhat affected the equipment shares The rails generally are acting well and there is A growing confidence in their stability. The market as a whole shows a broader and frmer foundation and with more confi- dence in the future but of course we must expect profit taking from time to time as tempting conditions occur.
