COTTON GOSSIP,
E. F. Hutton & Co. say: *“The goods !
trade market continues steady, and this, |
combined with the strength of the near
months and the firmness of the actual]
are the dominating factors in the mar
ket. The advance has been very rapid
and while some reaction is due, prices
give all- indieations of working to a
'much higher level” :
!¢ * e
The Times-Picoyune says: ‘“The ad
vance to new high records in Monday
market was due mainly to the urgent
trade demand not only for the actual,
but also confracts as cover against the |
extensive needs of spinners to meet for- |
ward commitments. The crop estimates
issued yesterday have tended to some
' what shake confidence in extreme low
erop views, but the trade still seems'
convinced that the Government esti-J
mate due December 11 will be bullish,
Following 1s the latest dry goods market
and mill review showing a very strong
situation.
“A very broad and active demand for
cotton goods reached unusual propor
tions evan for war times in the last few
\days. Contracting into the middle of
next year. buyers included some of the
largest jobbers, nearly all the large bag
manuf-cturers, most of the converters
and printers and the Government and
Red Cross operators.
“Mills are sold out for months.”
HUTTON & CO'S, STOCK LETTER.
NBW YORK, Nov. 27.—1 t looks as
though the selling of railroads is due
to the uncertainty as to what Govern
ment control for the present means.
Atchison comes in with another very
bad statement. The Western lines
don’'t seem to get the same grasp on
their operating expenses as the Kast
ern. Probah!y the heavy liquidation in
St. Poul preferred foreshadows a big net
decrease. News is genera'ly favor-ble,
We must not look for any big advance
in general list. but specialtles, which
’are .cheap, will worke higher. |

Four Millions Cash Surplus Shown

in Last Yearly Statement.
Morgans Hopeful,
By BOERSIANER,
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.—Stocks advanced
Monday, substantially in the industry
group, uneveniy in the rails.
Deceived by lack of Monday morning
orders, traders attacked the market
shortly after the opening. They found
an unyielding condition. Stocks were
not for sale. From then on to midday
business was normal, save in Genera!
Electrie, American Telegraph and Pull
man, where an outbreak of light liqui
dation provoked marked quotation con
cessions. When habitual speculators bid
for outstanding stocks prices responded
sensitively, Very little buying—small
causes—produced rapid rises or impor
tant results. s
The failure of railway shares to fol
low the industrials was due to prime
causes so familiar as to forefend reiter
ation. These were reconfirmed by the
October revenue report of the Santa
Fe, which showed a decrease of $855,-
538 in operating income, though the
gross increased $1,712,664. This road up
tc September had continued exceptional
in making favorable statements.
Pullman descended to 123% before it
recovered 13 of the 3% points lost since
the close of last week.
It is a_reasonable assumption that the
short selling here has been limited and
that, correl'rondingly. liguidation ex
plains the decline of the last four
months—the explanation of the depre
ciation in all hlih-g'rade certificates. In
the case of Pullman, the current talk
of curtailed travel is responsible for the
latest Brenure.
uliman Income Enhanced.
So far it has been talk and it is quite
possible that the future will be as de
vold of fact as the past. The facts
are that, dea?ite taxes and the higher
cost of operation, the comxuny's net in
come since the end of the fiscal yvea
has been enhanced considerably; in
other terms, the addition to the $4,000
000 cash surplus shown in the last year
ly statement is fortifying the organiza
tion increasingly.
Pullman is another of many instances
of liquidation incited by general bear
ish sentiment wholly unwarranted by
intrinsic condition. Receipts are run
ning $500,000 to SBOO,OOO monthly in ex
cess of the corresponding period in 1916,
and of these earnings a very fair pro
portion is clear gain after allowing for
the Government's bit.
There is no diminution in travel. Cal-
East, especially to Washington, was
never so heavy. No surplus cars are
in transit. Pullman coaches are filled
to capacity. Upper berths are coveted
—~where formerly they were shunned.
The manufacturing part of the com
pany is eminently satisfactory. While
the building of freight cars is 50 per
ceat of full capacity, this is due to want
of basic material and not to lack of or
ders. The books at present record
enough commands for passenger cars to
keep the plant busy to the turn of the
first half of next year. The long pend
ing negotiations with the Russian Gov
ernment for cars ended negatively,
