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 inelined to await further war news from
abroad. At least thisis 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 represents spot firms, and offerings from
the South. This selling was based on advices, easier basis and
more offerings of the actual. Around midday 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 tp 29.70, while
March rose- from 28.82 4 29.27. December advanced from 30.05
to 30.40. .
The irregularity of futures had sympathetic effect on the loeal
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 cotton totaled 4,041-—largest in several
days—while shipments totaled 1,912, The day's receipts swelled
leeal stocks in warehouses up to 43,679 bales.
s N o
The Union Pacific Railroad Tuesday reported an increase in
October operating revenue of $1,439,004 and a decrease in net in
come of $388,7565. From January 1, operating revenues show an
increase of $12,325,236, while net exhibits a decrease of $1,644.390,

J. F. CLARK’S COTTON LETTER.
f NEV/ ORLEANS, Nov. 27.—The stim
‘llating war news from New York yves
terday aftefnoon on which the last spurt”
‘1 the matikel was hased, was not con
lfirmed.overnight. which gave rize to the
view that the exercigs of bullish con
trol was being strained to some cxtent;
feeling, therefore. this morning was
rather in favor of some reaction, more'so
as the high tcnSion over first nolice day
|(Zuvelopmen:fl has relaxed and Russian
' news was very unfavorable. With the
- price of near positions so close to spot
prices bulls have lost the advantage of
‘the distounts, and with che general price
level so near the set aspiration of 30
'eents, thete is more inducement to real
ize or to secure the price by hedgihg.
Of course the pivotal condition for bull
liph control, which is the relative isola
lion of New York from supply in the
South by traffie conditions, is not
changed and that market will remain
subject to easy control by the buli
forces, With the two markeis bound
up tightly by straddle operations, our
market is ~affected by the tech
nical situation in Nortkern market, but
the difference in conditions has reached
a telling maximut at this price level,
| Local spot situation is unchanged,
quotations fully maintained; no 'press
ure to sell; steady demand.
~ The contract market, after declihing
nearly $0 points, steadied on reaction
bhuying;, but the buying is rather slow
4nd unless there is political news of a
stimulating charaéter, the chances are
in favor of a further reaction.

~ CHICAGO, Nov. 27.—Stocks advanced
‘Monday, substantially in the industiv
group, uneventy 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
Electric, American Jelegraph and Pull
man, where an outbreak of light liqui
dation provoked markhkd quotation con
cessions. When habitual speculators bid
for outstanding stocks prices responded
sensitively. Very liMle buying—small
causes—produced rapid rises or impor
tant résuite, ;
The fallure of rallway shares to {6l
-the industrials was due to prime
rauses 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
Bross increased &1,712.554. This road up
‘to September had continued exceptional

Bo 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
‘m‘e that, despite taxes and the higher
tost of operation, the company’s net in
‘come since the énd of the Hscal year
has been enhanced considerably: in
’o(her terms, the addition to the $4,000,-
000 cash surplusfmjwn in the last year
1y statenient is fortifying the organiza
tlon inereasingly,
~_Pullmah is another of many instances
of liquidation incised by general bear
ish sentiment \\'!nlly unwarranted by
intringic condition. Receipts are run
ning $600,000 to SBOO.OOO monthly in ex
cess of the correspondéng period in 1916,
anfl of these carnings a very fair pro-.
portion {s clear gain after allowing for
the Government's hit. .
There is no diminution in fravel. Cal-
East, especially to Washington, was
never so heavy. No surplusy cars are
in transity ~ Pullman coaches are filled
to capaeity. 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 passehzer cars to
keep the plant busy to the thrn of the
first half of next year. The long pend-
Ing negotiations with the Russian Gov
ernment for cars ended negatively,
