. All markets were flat and reactionary Wednesday, with trad
ng confined to evening up over the holiday.
[ After opening sto 23 points lower on selling credited to Wall
street and Western houses, due to the unfavorable situation in
'Russia, cotton futures rallied briskly, but toward 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 being 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.

hercial Exchange and 1-8 of a cent lower to 30 1-8 cents by the

the pits bearish. Provisions showed pronounced strength, with
pork scoring sharp gains early in the session.

Stocks opened dull and lower, with the steel, copper and motor
issues most prominent. United States Steel, after opening at 97,
dropped to 96 1-4, then rallied to 97 1-2. Marine preferred showed

CLEARING HOUSE MOVES. !
This Is moving day for the Atlanta
Clearing House Association.
The association late Wednesday will
move into their new quarters on the
second floor of the Healey Building—
three large offices.
On May 14, 1909, the Cleaging House
Assceiation moved into the Commerce
Hall, corner of North Pryor street and
Edgewood avenue. At that time only
about eleven clerks were necessary to
handle the daily business—very sel
dom more than $1,000,000 a day—but
during the last few years their busi
ness has increased to such heavy vol
ume that a force of 30 clerks, book
keepers, etc., now are necessary to
handle the business, clearings through
the local natiomal banks averaging
more than $9,000,000 daily. Recently
the clearings totaled more than sll,-
000,000, or more than a full week’s
total of a few years back.

settled, rainy weather over entire belt;

) The Times-Picayune says: ‘‘The re
actionary disposition developed Tuesday
‘while held in check by the bullish sen-l
timent underlyinfi 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 preved an added ineen
tive to the liquidation of the long inter
est. Owing to the possibility of all sort.sl
of developments 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 been so im-‘
portant a sustaining influence of late.
This slackening in this character 0”
trading is apt to be only temporary, as
mill stocks are known to be considerably
reduced, while contracts for manufac-l
tured goods have been made to cover
the greater part of next year.”

J. F. CLARK’'S COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 28.—Overnight
news presents the Russian situation in
a far more critical state than before and
London says it is one of the main ob-
Jects of the Paris conference. Wash
ington says official information points to
German influence in the Petrogad ad
ministration and the possibility of Rus
ria turning intp an active ally of the
the Central Powers. All shipments of
supplies to Kussia will be cancelied im
mediately, also from Japan. This would
indicate a further curtailment In the
foreign consumption of cotton. Copen
hag:g gays behind the meeting of the
Scandinavian rulers lies the fear of Nor
way's entrance a‘mtc; the war, causing
complications and new issues in the war
situation.
Of strictly cotton news, there was the
report from Yazoo City, Miss., that
since August 1, 24,495 bales were mar
keted against 16,902 last (“r' showing
the larger yleld in some localities.
General and heavier rains occurred
during the past 24 hours over Texas,
Arkansas anrd western and northern
Louisiana, 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 holiday and the indication of un
favorable weekly statistics on Friday,
but the tact!cs 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
aguring the #ast two &oars of high prices
for fobdstuffa and cotton is a telling fac
tor in support of the market, The spot
market is reported quieter.

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 97%.
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 Itallan front
the position of the enemy appeared to
have become worse. [arnings state
ments by several specialty companies
were highly satisfactory. .
But the weak link from the outset—
the ralls—finally told on the entire list.
Continued and increasing liquidation of
railwnxhghares at length prevatled,
The "Terger of interests ordered by
the Government 8 regarded with mis
givings bf’ 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
as préeliminary to Government control.
Europe Owns Her Railways.
Government supervision or ownership
is to too many dividend-drawers and
coupon-clippers interchangeable with
socialism, notwithstanding that Conti
nental KEurope has owned her railways
for decades and that Great Britain has
controlled her transportation systeni for
three years.
If the Government decides to take
over the rails, temporarity 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 the 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
’mnn army would speedily penetrate to
‘Rflmn. Instead of that, the enemy's
forces have been effectively halted on
'lhls side of the Po Valley,
~ Furthermore, the Italian Government
yvesterday issued a decree prohibiting
‘lh&‘ exportation of all classes of securi
ties and inhibiting the extension of com
mercial credits abroad, save in the pay
'ment for merchandige
| The Italian grain harvest was disap
pointing. It was 20 to 23 per cent below
last year's yield ’
| Italy Needs Wheat,
| The crop was least bountiful in the
South, The supply has been hampered
by the difficulties of railway and motor
transit 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 bhefore the unity of Italy the con
sumption of cereals was considerably
below the present annual average, and
no people is more enduring or at heart
more patriotie.
Apart from the food difficulty, the
economic position is unusually strong.
There hds been a steady Increase in
revenue since last June. In the Italian
Chamber Signor Carcano stated that, of
the actua) revenue in the current year,
2.000.000.000 lire comes from taxation,
During the past two years, he said, the
&avings bank deposits have risen by
3.500,000.000 lire: at the end of 1916 their
total wne hetween 5,000,000000 and 6,-
000.000.000.

put up its prices. had for the past quar
ter a revenue of 223% per cent over the
corresponding period of last year and
50 per cent above that of the yvear he
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 |
vears ago the American Can Co. was |
kicking around the street at the same
price that American Hide and Leather
common i 8 todayv. 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 26,000,000 out of
this $9,000,000 issue. There are 125,000
shares of preferred issued and 115,000
common. In two years the bonds fall
due. The sinking fund will cancel S9OO,- ‘
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
vear, and the company we expect for
the present yvear will earn much more,
as a basis of earnings for the two fol
lowing years and after alowing for $5
dividend per annum for the two vears,
the company will be able to retire out
of surplus earnings its entire bonded
issue.
