COLD EXPECTED
FROM FRANCE

New York bankers are reported
discussing the possibility Of gold
imports from France. Likelihood
of such a movement has been
enhanced by the weakness in
Frenc'l exchange, which has gone
steadily lower since the pressure
on the dollar eased in october.
During the height Of the foreign
Withdrawals from this center the
F-,cnch franc momentarily
touched $.03961a, the high for
the year. compared with par Of
$.0392.
The franc is now quoted ut
$.0391 for cable transfers, a new
low on the current move which
compares with the low for the
year of $.0390B in late April and
early May.
Foreign exchange circles are
now calculating the gold point
closely, and one prominent insti-
tuition believes that the true point
at which gold can be moved from
Paris to New York is $.039093
or a shade under $.0390 1915.
Metal was imported last spring
when the rate was at $.0391 or
Slightl,,' below that figure, but
this was made possible by tenn
porary reduction in steamer
freight rates on gold. Former
rates subsequently were restored.

to navigation and to farmers, per
mitting the latter to complete fall
ploughing and keep their herds
in pasture. On the other hand,
buying of winter goods has been
deferred.
The opening of the Canadian
Pacific Railway shops on Novem-
ber II affords employment to
some thousands of people who
had been out of work for several
weeks, and will help retail trade
in the cities in which these shops
are situated.

Bottom in Stock Decline
Still Due, Haney Says

it may be quite sharp when it
does come.
Drive on Weak Shorts
There is probably good deal
in the argument that a weak
short account is being built up
If the amount of selling by anna
teur shorts is anything like as
much as some observers say 1t is,
somebody is going to make a
drive on the short position-bear
market or no bear market.
There is also possibility of or
ganized financial support being
thrown into the market as it ap-
proaches the october S low level.
So would go slow in taking a
short position from a trading
standpoint.
,Upturn To Be Brief
It does not seem likely, how
ever, that any nearby rally will
last more than a day or two. We
may reasonably assume that the
liquidation now going on hardly
will be completed without a few
days of much heavier volume than
any seen recently.
Accordingly, any rally should be
used for nquidating overvalued is
sues or for making short sales.

COTTON MAKES
BEST GAINS
IN WEEKS
Broad Trading Pushes Prices
Up 9 to Ia Points During
Early Session

NEW YORK, Nov. "a O.N.S).
The cotton market recorded its
widest improvement in weeks in
active trading today, with futures
on uptrehd from the outset and
continuing to push ahead until
gains ranging from 8 to IA points
had been chalked up at midday.
There were many influences be-
lieved responsible for this brisk
turnabout from the reactionary
sessions that have been witnessed
Of late.
Technically Strong
To begin with, the market was
in a strong technical position, in
view of the fact that it had
shown an almost straight line de-
cline Of so points since Novem.

ton was about completed.
Third, was the agreement on
the acreage reduction plan by
Southern States which would re-
suit in a SO per cent decrease in
planting, and, fourth, the in.
creased world consumption of cot
ton during October.
The latter in particular proved
to be cheering to traders. The
estimate on world consumption of
cotton as given out by the New
York Cotton Exchange service in.
dicated that 1927, 900 bales had
been consumed in October, as
compared with $4,000 bales in
September, and 961, 900 in Octo.
ber Of last year.
Active Interests
Interests active on the buying
side Of the market, included spot
firms which bought December,
trade and commission houses, and
Liverpool and the Continent.
Price fixing by Spinners was in
evidence for a time, but failed to
follow the advance. Offerings
were supplied by Wall Street and
professionals, with scattered hedge
selling also putting in appearance.
At midday December was up IA
