COTTON ADVANCE
HALTED IN LAST
HOUR OF TRADING
Appearance of January
Contracts at Close
Checks Rise.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York. Oct. 2O.-The sudden
buying movement in cotton created
Friday by news that a special crop
report would be issued on November
gained momentum early today. Liver
pool continued it's upward rush, gain
ing over half a cent.
\ quantity of January cotton APP
peared in the market as the morning
advanced and this brought a setback
from early figures. Though one order
for 10000 bales of December was ex-
ecuted the last hour, this buying failed
to prevent somewhat unsettled
close. About half the advance was
lost in final trading. the list closing
s TO ~ points higher.
Some idea of the excited rise
abroad can be gained from ihc fact
that January contracts touched 1914.
which was about 40 points over last
nights closing. New York figures.
Only n few weeks ago the spread be-
tween the two markets was around
800 points. With the first frost of
the season appearing inthe cotton belt
in the region of manufacturers. and
fears that the department intends to
reduce its recent estimate of 11,000,-
900 bales. an excited opening occurred
both here and in New Orleans.
Blocks of contracts were purchased
on the call and Immediately follow
ing at an advance of 20 to 40 points.
This carried late months into new
high ground for the year. with May
above % IL. December sold around
29.S0 compared with previous high
Lowell of 1880 reached last month. A
large amount of cotton changed hands
with speculative and trade buying on
an unusually broad scale.

STOCKS WELL UP
TO BEST PRICES
OF DAY AT CLOSE
Market Strengthens Under
Leadership of Tobac-
60 Shares
BY STUART p. WEST.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Oct. 20.-Following
Fridays inconclusive fluctuations. the
stock market turned definitely strong
Pm the last hour today.
.lhe close was we'll up to the best
OF the day with gains of point tu
TWO points, and in a few instances
even more. =,
There was not much increase in &C
tivity, but the trading showed more
animation as prices moved forward
Ihe short interest was uneasy on ac-
count of the resumption of opera
tons for the rise in number Of spe-
cial issues, which is always signifi-
cant of change in sentiment.
The tobacco stocks were leaders az
they have been all week. New highs
were made by Reynolds b and To
bacco Products A. The latter, it is
felt. has been selling out Of line as a
10 per cent dividend payer back OF
which are now placed practically the
entire resources Of the United Cigar
Stores in addition to it's share in the
growing and profitable manufacturing
business of the Tobacco Products
company itself.
United States Industrial Alcohol
was another favorite.
There was active short covering in
the rails, particularly In Northern Pa
cific and Chicago and Northwestern
and others which have been under spe-
cial pressure. Union Pacific ran up
g point and a half and so did Cana
dian Pacific.
Even the rubber stocks came back
before the end. IIniteH States Rubber
common gaining more than point
Rubber preferred at the start got
down below SO. 1t was just a year ago
| that the stock broke from above par
| to Oh and the Street was sure that
this meant reduction Of the dividend
The Street has proved wrong. In
1921 Rubber preferred sold as low
las "a and yet the dividend was not
disturbed. Goodrich preferred made a
new low to the accompaniment of the
announcement that the company had
adjusted it's prices to meet the new
schedule Of its competitors.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Oct. 20.-New high levels
for the season were reached In the cot
ton market today by a buying movement
which started on the opening and soon
had December up TO 1887. with the list
70 10 80 points above yesterdays close.
The official announcement by the gov
eminent that it would issue n special re-
port on the crop dated October Is and
giving the percentage OF condition and
the yield indicated. was the controlling
influence because the consensus Of oDin-
ion was that excessive deterioration dur
ing Octobo- would be Indicated and that
the figures on the Weld would he far un-
der those OF September %. when the in
diratc1 crop was ll,015,000 bales.
The advance was checked anr small
reactions brought about by reports OF
labor troubles on the wharves at Hous-
ton and Galveston. Selling was due to
the fear that such trouble would check
the movement OF cotton for export The
close was at net gains of but 10 TO -
points
