—_—
CHICAGO, Dec. 18.—United States
Rubber Company’s negotiations for new
financing of $60,000,000 bonds are said
to have been practically completed. The
new issue of bonds probably will bear
interest at the rate of 5 per cent. The

debenture gold 55 maturing on the same
date, as well as $5,000,000 of 5 per cent
Morgan & Wright debentures, which also
fall due on the date mentioned.
It is understood that the proposed
new financing is for the purpose of
providing for these maturities, as well
as to furnish sufficlent fresh working
capital to cope with the present indus
trial situation, which hag %roucht about
a considerable expansion in its business,
thereby necessitating the employment
of a large worklnf fund.
Practically ali industrial com&s!r_flu
have been carrying on a much ger
businesg this year than ever before, and
In consequence heavier working balances
have been required.

Cotton News
Based on 12:30 p. m. prices in Liver
pool, the New York market was due to
open 8 to 12 points higher on old crops
and unchanged on new.
- - -
Baturday’s sharp break near the close
was due to umng of 10,000 bales of May
for a New York house and was thought
to have been a stop order for Southern
account.
‘ . . .
Cotton goods reviews show bullish un
derlying conditions. Mill agencies hold
prices very firm, as there are few goods
to be had for an early delivery. S;larlng
goods being rushed out, a great volume
of merchandise being on order. Some
of the largest mills mkln“ blankets,
ete., would not have more than 50 per
cent of normal production to offer for
next fall season, due to‘lold-u? condi
tions and the volume of exports. The
movement of cotton goods, especially
heavies, and spring merchandise contin
ues very large.
. . .
Kofler, of New Orleans, wires: “The
Census ginning roßort on Wedneadnfr.
®lving ginnings to December 18, will, in
my ogllnlon, be bullish and show a mark
ed falling off from last year.”
- - -
Fall River and New Bedford eotton
brokers say that the last week was the
?uhtut they had seen for mu:¥ months
rom the standpoint of bales to the mills.
With the drop in the contract markets
and the tunuer goods business, spinners
Mgod uying cotton almost entirely.
Southern shippers, however, did not low
er their prices to any extent and offer
ings were light.
- v e
Hubbard Bros. & Co. say: “Exchange
brokers here state that it {s with great
difficulty that w‘r insurance can be ob
tained: a fact which seems to be inter
fering with the demand for exports.”
- . .
London cables to The Journal of Com
merce say: ‘“‘Cotton yarns remaln un
settled by cotton accumulations. Some
spinners are conceding half reneo on
the week. Others who are well booked
ahead are refusing the concessions, par
ticularly in the medium warps and fine
counts. As to cloths, business In staples
i restricted. Buyers are muiflmon
cessions and are reducing their ing
limits.”

Low grade cottons are commanding
record premiums in the Southwest, ac
cording to cotton men from that region.
It is said to be almost lmgoulblo to buy
them. lln ¢ cases they are com
manding a mo almost even with mid
au cotton. Srot firmas have sold these
rn’,m and must deliver them, but ow
ng to the iclmltyb of them, it I 8 neces-
Sary at times to buy as much as 2,000
bales of cotton to securel® bales of low
grades, such as strict low middling. The
crop is said by this authority to grade
around strict to good middling.

Montgomery, Ala., reported that hold
ers there continue Im‘figerem and are
offering a price almost even with mid
dling cotton.

R. K. Mac Clea has completed his an
nual o.ttmng of cotton consumption in
the United States for the season. He
makes the total this year 6,850,000 bales
comphred with his own estimate of 7,
216,000 bales a year ago for the previ
ous season and an actual consumption
last season of 7,279,000 hales, Exxsun-‘
Ing his reduction of 400,000 bales from
last year In spite of the increase month
by month so far this year and an a?-
parent Increase of nearly 7 per cent In
total yardage of cloth, he says: ‘'Re
turns from principal centers (hrou‘hout
the country, figures complled from lead
ing concerns, show surprising increase
in sales. t 1 is, however, the high prices
of goods th.t"soot up large, not so much
weight as yh B{f. In fact, the various
compelled substitutions to At price
ranges have so often almost discontin
ued sales of one old standard by replac-
Ing with lighter welght goods as a new
standard, that it has been very difficult
1o reach the final conclusion. The ae.
tual decrease In average weight of goods
in all classes to fill a certain demand
runs all the way from 6 per cent to 20
xar cent without decreasing yardes or
omens as It applies to cloth or knit
fmodk. This I 8 exactly the reverse to
ast year at this time and is easily over
looked. Over speculations has been com
pelled by the constant early crop of mill |
Agents and other first-hand factors to
the effect that if wholesalers dld not
buy early they would not get the good:.'
This was reflected more severely umon?
retailers and made many somewha
‘panicky’ to secure good for spring.”
- . -
Liverpool cables: “Little hedge sell
ing. Think lluuldl.(lon over.”
- -
Pacific Coast cleared 12,785 bales of
cotton to Japan Monday.
- - -
Well Bros., of Montgomery, say: “Very
lttle remains In first hands. Merchants
and shippers' stocks held are either to
cover forwarg commitments or h-tred.
It will be hard to shake out holders.
Since peace proposals holders are mcre
tenacious than ever No preparations
made for next crop. Good deal o“hnd
SOWNn in oats and other grains. “hile
many are inclined to look for A big
increase in acreage, the independence
and advantages gained by dlversifica
tion are so well appreciated that the
policy will be continued.”

Bradstreet's Notes
Gain in ¢ tis
Bradstreet's weekly trade review fol
lows:
‘‘Germany’s peace proposal thus far
heg not exartad any ‘Plrtlculu effect
upon either trade or industry, though it
has superinduced sharp breaks in the
stock market as well as in cereal and
flour prices and brou*ht greater cau
tion among flnancial interests.
“Incidentally, a more conservative un
dertone meems to be developing in other
directions as regards far future trade,
and naturally there ia conslderable dis
cussion as to readjustments if negotia
tions looking to peace actually come to
pass, alflwugh at the moment it is
doubted that a feasible basis for a
;Peedy settlement will readily be found.
evertheless, the high altitudes to which
commodity prices have risen dictate pru
dence In the light of possible develop
ments."”
