IN CHICAGO NOW READY TO TltADE Chicago, Dec. 1.—A new center of cotton trading was opened here today on the Chicago board of trade, and shortly after 9 o’clock, the time set for the ceremonies surrounding the advent of King ■Cotton to a Northern market cen ter, wires were clicking with the first cotton quotation prices. Government officials, business and financial leaders of the east and southwest sections of the country and Mayor William E. Dever, of Chicago, participated in the ceremonies and Frank L. Carey, president of the Chicago board of trade, made the initial •cotton transaction in the new market. Many years of agitation have finally succeeded in creating a cotton futures market in the Chi cago district. Early last summer following a series of conferences with govern ment representatives the board of trade voted the new market into life. It will operate under the United States cotton futures act, * and its success may mean the erection of a new board of trade building at the foot of La Salle ’ street. , upon Merchants the new and venture exporters look dis- j as a tinct advantage to the southwest «rn states, E.

COTTON MARKET DUEL EAST WEEK New Orleans, Dec. 1.—The past week in cotton has been a period of only moderate activity and lim ited fluctuations by comparison with most of the weeks of the present season that have gone bar fore. While the January position at one time during the week traded as high as 24.64 and at another time as low as 23.55, the final closing price on Saturday of 23 61 was only 33 points below the clos ing of the previous Saturday. Good Advance Earig. The first part of the weeK wit nessed a fairly good advance due mainly to the prompt stopping of uncommonly heavy notices for De cember delivery issued on Monday. Although the total' notices issued in the local market call for the delivery of about 35,000 bales, it is not improbable that considera bly more cotton than that Vill be tendered before the December op tion runs its course. The certified stock here has been rapidly increasing until it now stands more than 60,000 bales. The stoppage of notices for about 160,000 bales in the north ern market helped to stimulate values and the result of the first December notice day in both mar kets was mainly responsible for the advance in the first days of § ip3;:S; S ' 'c i ■XX m - V < ' 7- : m •x-x ■i . 7 XX .itlipx; 7 ; liiiiii IM ?

Sags Wednesday. On Wednesday the market com menced to sag, however, largely owing to the impending Thanks giving holiday, but since the mar ket re-opened on Friday the trend of prices has been downward, mainly because ideas as to the size of the crop were expanding, it being generally believed that the yield of lint cotton will run well over 13,000,000 bales. Recent pri vate estimates have shown a lean ing towards * larger figures and traders now think that the final estimate of the government due on December 8 will show a crop con siderably larger than the prelim inary estimate of 12,992,000 bales issued November 21. While the trade considers that there is an ample supply in pros pect for all requirements this sea son, there are many evidences that consumption is steadily broaden ing both at home and abroad. The increase in exports this sea son over last of 958,000 bales is tangible proof of the enlarged foreign demand.
