STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Although the volume of trading was not up to figures which prevailed during most of last weeks turnover, still transactions to- day were close to the two million share market and the list as a whole dis played a strong tone with particular strength in evidence in special groups. The general run of trade advices over the weekend were of a very construc- tive character and included reports of heavy pig iron sales, blowing in of many new furnaces, an advance in average of commodity prices and advices to effect that copper metal was being quoted around 40c level with rather brisk in- quiry. Such profit taking sales as made their appearance today was absorbed in rather impressive fashion and in fact the manner in which the list has main tained recent advances is the subject of much favorable comment among students of the market. We believe that the enthusiasm which has been created towards the stock values will prove sufficient to further enhance values and we are particularly friendly toward oils, rails and coppers.-John F. Clark 6 Co.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The stock market appeared to be more normal to-
 
 week with the exception of Saturday. As the signs developed there was an increase in profit taking, especially in the oils. As we see 1t, the main point of all this is the fact that the list lost very little ground under the weight of this profit taking and that with trad ing conditions somewhat more normal, there was no apparent decrease in bull ish sentiment or, bullish conditions. The re fn a a issues and were buoyant. New York Central, Missouri Pacific, Wabash pre- | ferred all made season highs. The | cheaper non-dividend paying rails were also strong. We would continue to buy the rails on all setbacks. We expect specialties like International Paper to go higher and would not be surprised to see further strength in Cuban Cane Sugar preferred in anticipation of eX- cellent earnings statement for the last fiscal year. We learn that the strength in American Woolen is due to the re- port that the company is now operating at 70 per cent of capacity. We are still of the opinion that the rails will work into higher ground. We advise accept ing profits on the bulges with the idea of replacing on the setbacks.-Steiner, Rouse & Stroock.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-The market pace in todays stock market was some what slower than last week but nev- ertheless total volume of trading was considerably in excess of 1,500, 900 shares. Many new high record prices were made. Profit taking in the late after noon was absorbed without detriment to the forward movement in the market. Industrials had no difficulty in main taining their strength. Foreign ex- change closed: Sterling, $4.61h; francs, 5.221sc.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17-Cables this morning were somewhat lower than due, although the market subsequently i'm proved. Our market opened higher but met both realizing and some increased hedge selling. A large crop estimate from an American firm of over 13,250,- 900 increased the local feeling for a re- action and prices declined substantially in the early afternoon. This was natural course for the market to take, particularly when more government crop estimates are expected on Friday. The local feeling is that these estimates may show another increase and thereby in tterfere with the improvement in the goods market, which has recently been so marked. This is a not unnatural feeling in view of the experiences of the summer but it is to be remembered that the feeling throughout the country is much more confident than was the case some months ago. Also we have had the first real cold wave of the season in the northern half of the coun- try and this will impart a better tone to heavy goods of all descriptions which are now in demand. We must remem- Der that last fall there was no cold wave before Christmas so that fall busi- ness was badly crippled. We expect on any further decline before or after the estimate of Friday that the trade de mand will again afford valuable sup port. Liverpool futures are due tomor- row: December, 13.31d; January, 13.37d. Hubbard Bros. & Co.
 NEW ORLEANS, Nov 17-The cot ton market assumed a reactionary ten dency today and was led to a lower level because of larger crop estimates and large private ginning estimates as to the quantity ginned to November IA. Returns to prominent large American spot firm point to a yield of 13,007,000 bales against 12,7S7, ,000 two weeks ago when the government forecast a pro- auction of 12,S16,000 bales. According to returns to the Fossdick bureau, Memphis, Tenn, 1Q9S5, 900 bales as indi- cated to have beenl ginned to Novemzer IA, against S,359,000 last year and 9,915, 900 in previous big crop year of 1920, or about 1,29OO00 bales for the last period November 1 to IA, against S13,000 year ago and 1,406,000 in 1920. A large Eng fish firm, according to cable advices to- day, estimates the world consumption of American cotton this seaon at 12,- 100000 bales, allowing 6,700000 for the j United States and Canada, but the United States and Canada consumed about 5,960, ,000 bales last season and will likely consume nearly 6,500.000 this sea
 son, which makes this estimate appear rather too small, especially as regards the United States and Canada. Com pared with last season, exports from the United States continue large, since Fri day., 240,000 against 27,O00; since Au- gust l, 2,639000, against 2164,000.-H. & B. Beer to J. F. Willingham & Co.

COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK. Nov. 17.-During the early trading liquidation of December was very much in evidence, probably due to the nearing of the first notice day, which is November "A. The mar ket held firm until about 12 o'clock, when the McFadden crop estimate of 100000 bales was broadcasted. This resulted in a heavy selling by big west ern and eastern operators who were said to be long of. the market. On the decline, however, trade interests were again good buyers and there was also fair volume of fresh buying by com mission houses. The market reacted about 50 points from the high of the morning, May selling at 2495c and March at 24.3Sc. General business ruled very small, but there appeared to be a very good demand for March, 35 points under May.-John F. Clark & Co.

Il had the pleasure the day before
yesterday OF receiving your con-
freres OF the French press and took
advantage OF the opportunity to give

THAT Is why I apply to you, who

ask you not to allow to be created
abroad an idea that France Is at

and menaced with imminent and
grave troubles. on who live our life.
you know better than anyone else

She lives in absolute calm. She has
not known, she shall not know. any
violence.
"Assuredly, there exists a commun-
ist party in our country. as In many
other countries. but it is far from in
creasing its forces. II sees them on
the decrease. It has only a few rep

munists ran up against the robust
good sense Of our rural districts and
the clearsightedness Of our laboring
population. That party Is no more
active today than formerly. It tried
to mobilize its forces and organize a

the government woQld be able to re-
press, with the greatest energy, any
attempt that might be made to dis
tufb the peace. But ! have q firm
conviction that such q thing will not
happen. Say to your fellow citizens
that France Is working in absolute

themselves to be impressed by q
