COTTON PRICES RALLY.
Advances From 33 to 54 Points in
Saturday Market.

NEW YORK. December 1-Some
further scattering liquidation was
soon absorbed in the cotton market
today and prices turned upward
again on covering, rebuying and re-
ports of a continued active trade de-
mand. March contracts which had
sold off to $500 on the big break of
yesterday afternoon rallied to 367S,
or So points above the closing quo
tation 70 yesterday. and closed at
1914. The general market closed
firm at net advances of 33 to 81
points on present crop deliveries and
of 10 to 40 points on later months.
The big clearances reported from
Galveston had been expected. but
seemed to encourage the late morn
ing advance when there was also
talk of probable light returns on gin
nings up to December /. The end
week reports from Fall River esti-
mated sales for the week at 100.0 900
to 100000 pieces. or about double the
preliminary estimates of yesterday.

TIN SHORTAGE LOOMS.

NEW YORK. December 1.-The
strength of the tin market in London
is due TO steady decrease in invis-
ible stocks of tin and ii reduction in
the visible supply. Invisible stocks
of tin at the end of 1921 amounted TO
10000 tons. at the end Of 1922 10000
tons and in 1923 they are estimated
at 10000 tons. By January. 1925. the
invisible stocks are expected To be
entirely gone. Visible stocks of tin
We're $4,000 tons at the end of 1921,
and now approximate $1,000 tons.
The reduction of both visible and in
visible stocks oftin since the end Of
1921 has been about 10000 tons.

from Virginia, have been shipping

due to the state game laws. Under
the Maryland law it is unlawful to
purchase, receive on consignment or
offer for sale any character of game,
with the exception of rabbits, within
the state. The season for rabbits

COTTON STRONGER
NOW THAN IN 1920
Statistical Position Shows Staple
Better Intrenched-Price
Touched 43 3-4 Cents.

NEW YORK, December 1.-The New
York Commercial says:
In season where all precedents
regarding supply of raw cotton have
been scattered to the four winds, il
would seem that past history is of
little worth as a guide to the future.
Yet since much higher prices than
those now ruling were reached ONLY
three years ago. it will be interesting
to consider the conditions then ex-.
listing, since comparison with our
present surroundings may throw some
light on what the future may have
in hiding
1t will be remembered that in July.
ls2o-twenty months after hostilities
ceased-the price of cotton in New
ranges around 35l2 cents.
Was there cotton famine in the
summer of 1920? No
What was the worlds supply of
ter's figures show the substantial
carryover Of 6.216.000 bales on July
81, 1920.
What is the outlook for carryover
on July 81. 1924? If the impossible
could happen and the worlds needs
were supplied by the mills, the carry
over would be only 10 per cent Of
that Of 1920.
If cotton sold at 43a. cents with
a carryover of 100000 bales, who can
forecast the limit of price in fam
Inc year like the present?
1t is evident that something very
radical must occur within the next
eight months. and spinners the world
over are debating the best means to
''cut the suit to At the cloth"
Viewed in terms of buying power of
currency. II is probable that 351a cents
now to the producer is relatively as
high as 43a cents was in 1920 But
the worlds affairs have since been
put in fair order. and are still mend
ing daily. There Is nothing on the
horizon to cause a repetition of the
deflation of 1921. and the value of
cotton crop two million bales be-
low the worlds needs remains to be
revealed in the future course of
prices.

NEW YORK, December 1.-The steel
