Change Authorities Urged to Ald‘
Bear Operations—London in
Market for Steel. |
By BROADAN WALL.
NEW YORK, Sept. 4—Wall stroet
“shorts” in the stock market again
showed signs of nervousness yester
day. All the arrangements made for
holding prices firm are apparently en
gineered with the idea of preventing
short covering.
A liberai short interest is healthy
under present circumstances, and the
Stock Exchange authorities, while
protecting the investor, have shown
little disposition to facilitate cover
ing operations of the bears. Yet
some people totally unfamiliar with
Wall street procedure attempt (o
regulate thig delicate problem by leg
islation.
Take the case of a man short 1.000
shares of Steel common. Having sold
the stock before the exchange closed,
his broker borrowed the shares from
a fellow member. If he tries to cover
now by buying the stock through the
Clearing House at the closing pri.o,
he is told that the trade will be con
sldered a new contract and the stock
must be paid for in full, unless the
broker can arrange a new loan with
his bank, for the stock can not be re
turned to the lender without the
lender’s consent.
Should he attempt tc cover by pur
chasing stock outside the Clearing
House, he will be compelled to pay in
full and hold the shares. Between
the devil and the deep sea, some
shorts have applied to the lenders of
stock in the market, bidding two or
three points above the closing prics
for the privilege of closing their trade
direct.
Trading on the Stock Exchange will
not be resumed until conditions are
satisfactory to the banks, and several
wagers have been made that the
opening prices of stocks will in many
cases be 5 to 10 pointa above the
close.
Too much etress has been lald in
the amount of selling that may come
from abroad. Cables from London
stock brokers have asked for offers of
Steel common, as buyers had ap
peared in the English market.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS
Hedge Purchases of Futures Not
Considered Long Cotton—Re=
Opening 'Change Talked 1
By EDWARD LOW RANLETT.
NEW YORK, Sept. 4—The follow-
Ing telegram was received from the
Liverpool Cotton Association: |
“Inform members who have con
tracts open that we will admit thelr
order to close same through ballot,
good until canceled. Where they so
esire, we suggest that orders be
limited to price filxed by our com
mittee. Twenty-four hours’ notice
of any change from previous prices
will be given.”
At a meeting of members of the
New York Cotton KExchange yester
day a report was presented showing
that the committee has agreed that a
difference of 150 points between Jan
vary-February Liverpool and De
cember New York is equiiabie and
should be accepted by all Interests
a 8 the basis of liquidation. The com
mittee has in view a reduction in
price to 5.70 for January-February in
liverpool on Monday.
Committee’s Plans,
The committee in its report will
recommend the following plan to
golve present difficulties:
That New York firms shall put in trust
in designated New York banks sufficient
cash to margin such cotton as they are
long in Liverpool to 5.70 for January-
February, ancrofurther shall ?ut up in
trust here such cash a® will margin
their December contracts in New York
down to 9.90,
Such margin will be released uncondi
tionally only to the extent justified by
such sales as New York bankers may
make of their long interest in Liver
pooi, through the permission to é}ll"‘
ticipate in the ballot, which has been
given by the Liverpool exchange, and,
further, to such extent as is juatlded by
such purchases as they may make
against the contracts which they have
sold in this market for Liverpool aec
count. :
In other words, the margin which is
put up In trust is only released uncon
ditionally on closed contracts. The Liv
erpool firms to whom such money thus
becomes avallable have agreed to make
their own arrangements for transferring
same to Livsrpool.
Such margins as are not uncondition
ally released will be available for re
turn to the parties depositing them, to
the extent gustmed by any advance In
Liverpool ahove $5.70 and In New York
above $9.90. The Liverpool exchange
agrees to give 24 hours’' notice of any
contemplated change in price and not
to make such change without consulta
tion with New York.
The committes points out that in
view of the fact that this plan is in
tended only to facilitate liquidationy
it is necessary that the members of
the exchange should agree to restric
tions which will prevent members
from takin% a short position In the
market. The restrictions proposed
are:
“First. To show that the sale is In
Hauidation of actual longs, elther for
selves or clients.
“Second. In the event such is not
the case, they will be requested to
purchaze a ecorresponding number of
December contracts at 9.90 in New
York.”
' The committee report declares that
purchases of futures which are held
as a hedge against sales to spinners
can not bs considered as long cotton.
Members holding such contracts in
Liverpool have the option of allowing
them to remain open there or the op
tion of transferring their hedge to the
December positian In New York, or
proving to the committee that they
have purchased a corresponding
amount of spot cotton in the South
in fulfillmant of such delivery. The
committes says it is assured the Liv
erpool Exchange will impose the same
restrictions on its members,
The report states that if members
of the New York Exchange agree to
this plan the Liverpool Exchange will
agrees under no conditions to demand
margin below 5.25 for January-Feb
ruary, and below 9 cents for Decem
ber {n New York, should the market
reach such prices, except on contracts
actually liquidated in either market.
There has been some talk of an
early reopAning of the exchange. This
can only follow a complete clearing
up of all pre-existing contract obli
gations.
