The cotton market was a slow and irregular affair Tuesday,
with trading considerably less than for several days. On the whole
the market was'steady, although realizing sales early in the day
were fairly large, but a good demand was in evidence the entire
session. Traders were inclined to await further war news from
abroad. At least this is the way the New Orleans market viewed it.
Opening 5 off to 5 higher the market in New York eased off
to 28 points from Monday’s close on profit-taking, selling by a
prominent man who often representsspot firms, and offerings from
the South. This selling was based on advices, easier basis and
more offerings of teh actual. Around mid-day reports from the
belt spoke of firm spots with practically no offerings. This braced
the market and values quickly rebounded on renewed active buy
ing, with active options rising about 2 points over Tuesday’s fin
ish, January rallying from an early low of 29.28 to 29.70, while
March rose from 28.82 to 29.27. December advanced from 30.05
to 30.40.
The irregularity of futures had sympathetic effect on the local
market, the Atlanta Commercial Exchange quoting the staple 5
points lower to 30.20 cents, while the Atlanta Warehouse Company
marked spots 1-8 of a cent down to 30 1-4. No sales were reported.
\ Tuesday’s arrival of cotten totaled 4,o4l—largest in several
days—while shipments totaled 1,912. The day’s receipts swelled
local stocks in warehouses up to 43,679 bales.

The Union Pacific Railroad Tuesday reported an increase in
October operating revenue of $1,439,004 and a decrease in net in
come of $388,755. From January 1, operatimz revenues show an
increase of $12,325,236, while net exhibits a decrease of $1,644.390.

The Central Leather Company Tuesday declared the usual
quarterly dividend of 1 3-4 per cent on the preferred stock.

New Orleans and Mitchell were the
principal sellers at the opening.
. & .
The New Orleans market wired that it
was waiting for developments in New
York and that the feeling there is that
the market {s entitled to a reaction, but
if New York is forced up, the market
will follow on straddle operations.

The weather map shows fair in Geor
gia and Alabama; part cloudy over rest
of the belt; slight precipitation in north
west Texas and west Arkansas. Indica
tions are for generally unsettled, rainy
‘weather and colder in the northern por

~ 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 %domimnin‘g' factors in . mar
ket. «The advance has been very rap
and ?‘h‘ile some ction is due, prices
give ‘all I;l6],@{{{lls of working to a
‘much higher level"”
:. - -
The Times-Picayune 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 contracts as cover against the
exten®ive needs of spinners to meet for
ward commitments, The crop estimates
issued yesterday have tended to some
what shake confidence in extreme low
crop views, but the ftrade still seems
convinced that the Government esti
mate due December 11 will be bullish.
Following is the latest dry goods market
and mill review showing a very strong
situation. A
“A very broad and active demand for
cotton 3loods reached unusual propor
tions even for war times in the last few
days. Contracting into the middle of
next vear, buyers included some of the
largest jobbers, nearly all the large bag
manufacturers, most of the converters
and printers and the Government and
Red Cross operators. :
“‘Mills are sold out for months.”

HUTTON & CO’'S. STOCK LETTER.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—1 t looks as
though the selling of rallroads is due
to the uncertainty as to what Govern
ment control for the present means.
Atchison comes in vgth another very
bad statement. Th Western lines
don’t seem to get the same grasp on
their operating expenses a 8 the Kast
ern. Probably the heavy lquidation in
St. Paul preferred foreshadows a big net
decrease. News Is generally favorable,
We must not look for any big advance
in general list, but specialties, which
are cheap, will worke higher, |

J. F. CLARK'S COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov, 27.—The stim
lating war news from New York yes
terday afternoon on which the last spurt
in the market was based, was not con
firmed overnight, which gave rise to the
vie wthat ’‘he exercise of bullish con
trol was being strained to some extent;
feeling, ,therefore, this morning was
rather in favor of some reaction, more 20
as the high tcnsion over first notice day
cevelopments has relaxed and Russian
news was very unfavorable. With the
price of near positions so close to spot
plices. bulls have lost the advantage of
the dissounts, and with the general rrice
Jevel 80 near the set aspiration of 80
cents, there is more inducement to real
ize or to secure the price by hedging.
Of course the pivotal condition for bull
ish control, which i the relative isola
tion of New Yo:},lrom supply in the
South by traffic” conditions, {8 not
changed and that market will remain
subject to easy control by the bull
forces, \With the two markets bound
up tightly by straddle operations, our
market market 1s affected by the tech
nical situation in Northern market, but
the difference in conditions has reached
a telling maximum at this price level.
Local spot situation i& unchanged,
quotations fully maintained; no press
ure to sell; steady demand.
The contract market, after declining
nearly 30 points, steariled on reaction
buying. but the buying is rathed slow
and unless there is political news of a
stimulating character, the chances are
in favor of a further reaction.

Four Millions Cash Surplus Shown
In Last Yearly Statement,
Morgans Hopeful..
By BOERSIANER.
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.—8tocks 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 General
Electriec, American Telegraph and Pull
man, where an outbreak of light liqul
dation provoked marked quotatlon con
cessions. When habitual speculators bid
for outstanding stocks prices responded
sensitively. Very little buying—small
causes—produced rapld rises or impor
tant results.
The failure of railway shares to fol
llow the industrials was dus to prime
causes g 0 familiar as to forefend reiter
ation. These were reconfirmed by the
October revenue report of the Santa
Fe, which showed a decrease of 3855,
638 In operati income, though the
gross mcrealsdnfi.?ll.su. This road u"i
to September had continued exception
in making favorable statements.
Pullman descended to 1231 before it
recovered 13 of the 3'& points lost since
the close of last week. '
It is a reasonable assumption that the
short gelling here has been limited and
that, corres‘fondmgly. li&uldntlon ex
plains the deciine of e last four
months—the explanation of the depre
clation in all hlfih-nade certificates. In
the case of Pullman, the current talk
of curtailed travel is responsible for the
latest gressure.
uliman Income Enhanced.
So far it has been talk and it 8 quite
possible that the future will be as de
void of fact as the past. The facts
are that, desyite taxes and the higher
cost of operation, the comguny'n net in
come since the end of the fiscal year
has been enhanced considerably: in
other terms, the addition to the $4,000,-
000 cash surplus shown in the lagt vear
ly statement is fortifying the or}anlza
tion increasingly.
Pullman {s another of many instances
of llquidation 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,
The"e i 8 no diminution in travel. Cal-
East, ‘especially to Washington, was
never so heavy. xfio surplus cars are
in transit. Pullm coaches are filled
to capacity, Upper berths are coveted
—where formerly they were shunned.
The manufacturing par%of the com
pany lis eminently satisfadtory. While
the bullding of freight cars is 60 per
ceat of full capacity, this 18 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 turmn of the
first half of next year. The long pend
ing negotiations with the Russian Gov
ernment for cars ended negatively.
Morgan Firm ofnlmmlo.
In the financial eircles there is an
Important exception to the blue senti
ment on the securities situation, which
is too blue to be true. MThe saving
clause is represented by ‘“‘the house on
ifornla and Florida are preparing for
and are confident of the usue! throngs of
winter visitors. The puunfiar traffic
Ehe corner,”” meaning J. P. Morgan &
0. \
The Morgan firm is far from being in
despair of commercial and financial con
ditions. It believes business will be
moderately good and that a fair re
turn will be had from the moderately
good business; fair profits will be the
result of the fairly large tugn-ovsr. That
standard companies can fihd what mon.
ey they require was attested by the
ready sale of the General Electric notes,
which could have been subscribed four
times dver. |
Much gossip is In the air—it is literal.
ly airy gossip-—about putting up to Cona |
gress the matter of corporation maturi
ties. If this be done, Congress will
doubtless advise corporation managers
to go into the money market and pay
the price of money, 1
Money can now be had In abundance
—at a price. Probably it will be avail
able throughout the war—at a prlce.‘
The General KElectric Company paid a
trifle more than 6 per cent for its last
accommodation. Other companies will
be similarly accommodated if they care
to pay the rate.

High Schools, A foottall game war
ranted as good as any tetween college
teams geen here this season is here
with o!f:red the public.
There is nothing like tradition to give
class to a football game. And between
Tech High and Boys High tradition has
worked up a bitter rivalry that drives
the youngsters on both sides of the ar
gument to the spirt of fighting, bleeding
and dying before they will give an inch.
Both teams this year are strong and
well coached, Boozer Pitts, at Teeh
High, has developed a scrappy, fast
team of whose merits already volumes
have been written in these columns.
Coach Wood, a former Notre - Dame
layer, has a team at Boys Hlfh that
gas won most of its games this year
against odds, fighting gamely and over
coming the handicap that the extra
welght and experience of Its opponents
imposed.
