; By VICTOR BARRON.
All markets were flat and reactionary Wednesday, with trad
ing confined to evening up over the holiday.
After opening 5 to 23 points lower on selling eredited to Wall
street and Western houses, due to the unfavorable situation in
Russia, cotton futures rallied briskly, but towards midday the list
reacted to a net loss of about 15 points on continued selling. De
mand was less active than for several days, traders bein inclined
to steer clear of the market until after the holiday .
There was no change in the tenor of spot advices, offerings con
tinuing light with demand active.
Spot here were quoted 5 points lower, at 30.15, by the Com
hercial Exchange and 1-8 of a cent lower to 30 1-8 cents by the
Warehouse. No sales were reported.
¥ ¥ ¥
Trading in both corn and oats was light, with the feeling in
the pits bearish. Provisions showed pronounced strength, with
pork scoring sharp gains early in the session.
: ® B R
Stocks opened dull and lower, with the steel, copper and motor
issues most prominent. United States Steel, aften opening at 97,
dropped to 96 1-4, then rallied to 97 1-2. Marine preferred showed
strength after the opening on expectations that a cash dividend of
$lO a share will be ordered back dividends early next week.

The Times-Picayune says: “The re
actionary disposition developed Tuesday
while held in check by the bullish sen
timent underlying the market was but
natural after so long sustained an ad
vance which has about eliminated the
short interest and therefore weakened
the technical position of the market.
With the 30-cent limit practically reach
ed In many portions of the South, it
was only reasonable to expect freer of
ferings. The approach of Thanksgiv
ing, when both American exchanges will
be closed, also proved an added incen
tive to the liquidation of the long inter
est. Owing to the possibility of all sorts
of developrnents from day to day, the
desire to even up commitments in ad
vance of a holiday is more pronounced
than at ordinary times. One of the rea- |
sons for the reactionary tendency yes
terday was the falling off in volume of
trade buying, which has heen so im- |
portant a sustaining influence of late.
This slackening in this character of.
trading is apt to be only temporary. as
mill stocks are known to be coneiderably
reduced, while contracts for manufac
fured goods have been made to cover
the greater part of next year.' ]

selling was in the way of realizing over

J. F. CLARK'S COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 28.—Overnight
news presents the Russian situation in
a far more eritical state than before and
London says it is one of the main ob
jects of the Paries conference. Wash
ngton ays official information points to
German influence in the Petrogad ad
ministration and the possibility of Rus
ria turning into an actlve ally of the
the Central Powers. All shpments of
supplies to Russia will be cancelled im
mediately, also from Japan. This would
indicate a further curtailment in the
foreign consumption of cotton. Copen
hagen says behind the meeting of the
Scandinavian rulers lies the fear of Nor
way's entrance into the war, causing
iomplications and new issues in the war
situation.
Of strictly cotton news, there was the
report from Yazoo City, Miss.,, that
since August 1, 24,455 bales were mar
keted against 16,902 last ]year, showing
the larger yield in some localities.
General and heavier rains occurred
during the past 24 hours over Texas,
Arkansas ard western and northern
Loulsiana, Indications are for unsettled,
rainy weather over entire belt; colder in
northern portion.
Our market opened 10 to 20 lower on
unfavorable foreign news, liquidation
over holidas and the indication of un
favorable weekly statistics on Friday,
but the tactics of buying on all de
pressions has proved so profitable and
has become <o generally adopted that
good support of this nature was encoun
tered on the break and the market re
covered to .ast night's closing prices in
side the first hour.
Wealth and independence created in
the agricultural sections of the country
during the past two yvears of high prices
for foodstuffs and cotton is a telling fac
tor in support of the market, The spot
market is reported quieter.
STOCK MARKET OPINIONS.
Harris, Winthrop & Co.: “‘Uncertain.
ty as to just what will be the result of
the pooling of the railroads was the
main cause of the recession Tuesday,
The sitvation abroad, except in the case
of Russia, continues favorable.”
A. Lipper & Co.: “There is nothing of
any importance new in the stock mar
ket situation. The probabilities are in
view of the holiday not much of a mar
ket can he anticipated. The heaviness
of rails is holding the rest of the mar
ket in check. There may be some real
izing Wednesday and on any reasonabla
declines stocks like United States Steel,
Smelters, Anaconda Copper Missouri
Pacific and Studebaker ean be bought.”
S. Boche & Co.: ““Would buy on reac
tions for turns.” 1

Argentine Grain Shipments Limit

| Russia and Roumanaia.
By BOERSIANER.
~ CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—A further gain
early in the session by the industrials
was considerably more than lost in yes
terday's late transactions. The fluctua
tive course of this group is indicated by
Steel's rise to 99 and close at 973%.
Martial, political and industrial cor
poration news favored the initial bet
terment. Banking advices suggested a
weakening of the Bolsheviki govern
ment, with corresponding defections
throughout Russia. On the Italian front
the position of the enemy appeared to
have become worse. Earnings state
ments by several speclalty companies
were highly satisfactory.
i But the weak link from the outset—
the rails—finally told on the entire list.
’Continued and increasing liquidation of
railway shares at length prevailed,
| The merger of interests ordered by
’the Government is regarded with mis
givings b{ a sufficient number of rail
road stockholders to force renewed de
clines. This action, though favored by
‘railroad operatives as not only making
for efficiency but for larger revenue
‘also, is read by some securities holders
a 8 preliminary to Government control.
| Europe Owns Her Rallways.
Government supervision or ownership
is to too many dividend-drawers and
coupon-clippers interchangeable with
‘socialism, notwithstanding that Conti
nental Europe has owned her railways
for decades and that Great Britain has
controlled her transportation system for
| three years.
- If the Government decides to take
over the rails, temporarily or perma
nently, the transfer should not be a
hardship on stock and bond-holders any
more than it has been to the owners of
British railway securities. Ample pay
ment or guaranty Is a matter of course,
In tnhe foreign exchange market Ital
ian lire were the salient feature. An
advance of 43 centimes was recorded.
The rapid rise from last week's level
finds a fundamental explanation in the
most agreeable recovery from the fright
ened assumption that the Austro-Ger
man army would speedily penetrate to
Rome. Instead of that, the enemy's
forces have been effectively halted on
this side of the Po Valley.
Furthermore, the Itallan Government
yesterday issued a decree prohibiting
the exportation of all classes of securi
ties and inhibiting the extension of com
mercial credits abroad, save in the pay
ment for merchandise.
The Itallan grain harvest was disap
rolnting. It was 20 to 23 per cent below
last year’'s yleld.
Italy Needs Wheat.
The crop was least bountiful in the
South, The supply has been hampered
by the difficulties of railway and motor
trangit and by the lack of shipping, al
though the Allies, especially this coun
try, are making extraordinary efforts to
meet this need, Italy’'s chief foreign
sources of wheat and corn were Russia,
Roumania and Argentine. The two first
named are now completely cut off, while
from the Argentine graln shipments
have been limited.
But before the unity of Ttaly the con
sumption of cereals was considerably
below the present annual average, and
o people |lB more enduring or at heart
more patriotic.
Apart from the food difficulty, the
economic position is unusually strong.
There has been a steady Increase in
revenue since last June. In the Italian
Chamber Signor Carcano stated that, of
the actual revenue in the current year,
3,000,000.000 lire comes from taxation,
During the past two years, he said, the
savings bank deposits have risen by
2,600,000,000 lire; at the end of 1916 their
total wns between §,000,000,000 and 6, -
000,000,000,
The masses are able to spend money,
for the State tobacco monopoly, having
put up its prices, had for the {)ast quar
ter a revenue of 22% per cent over the
corresponding period of last year and
50 per cent above that of the year bhe
fore. The revenue from the war profits
tax largely exceeds the estimates, and
when the many contested cases are set
tled the excess will be greater still,
HUTTON & CO.’S STOCK LETTER.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-—~A number of
years ago the American Can Co. was
kicking around the street at the same
price that American Hide and l.eather
common s today. Some rich men dis
covered its potential value, it was ac
cumulated as American Hide and
Leather comon is being accumulated to
day, and one day the street woke up
to find a very active and advancing
stock where there had been a sluggish
and dull one. The position of Hide and
Leather is this: ‘““There were originally
issued $9,000,000 in bonds The com
pany owns practically $6,00G 000 out of
this $9,000,000 issue. There are 125000
shares of preferred issued and 115,000
common., In two years the bonds fall
due. The sinking fund will cancel $300,-
000 of the issue. This will leave about
a little over $2,000.000 in the hands of
the public. Taking the earnings for last
year, and the company we expect for
the present vear will earn mueh more
as a basis of earnings for the two fol
lowing years and after alowing for 23
dividend per annum for the two years
the company will be able to retire out
of surplus earnings its entire bonded
issue,
