Cotton made another upward lunge Saturday, with the market exhibit
ing a strong undertone, despite the easier technical conditions. : :
Demand was of a persistent character throughout the session, with
the biggest spot firms the lesading buyers. Shorts, commission houses and
hoth domestic and trade interests were buyers. : :
All options romped into new high ground for the movement, with dis
tant months showing the greatest strength. -
After an irregular opening, 25 points higher to 9 points lower, the New
York market developed a strong tone and climbed steadily upward until
the final few minutes’ trading, when usual week-end realizing trimmed the
top levels slightly. At the highest the market stood 35 to 80 points net
higher, with July in the lead, reaching 26.02. December reached 30.55,
while January touched 28.79, May 27.70 and October 23.67.
Futures at New Orleans rose 35 to 76 points, with December at 29.75,
January 28.50, March 27.35, May 26.40, July 25.61 and October 23.50.
At the highest levels the New York market stood 267 to 289 points
above the low levels of Wednesday, December 11, while the New Orleans
market showed a gain of 270 to 405 points—sl3.so to $20.25 a bale,
Naturally, such a perpendiecular rise made easier technical conditions,
but the trade was in no mood to consider anything except the bullish spot
situation and extremely bright exports situation and prospects of a tre
mendous demand for foreign account, with domestic mills ready to come
into the market in the not distant future on a large scale-when they realize
that foreign needs call for such great quantities that they might be left
holding an empty bag in the end.
Final prices on the New York market were 153 to 277 points above
last Saturday’s close, while the gain at New Orleans amounted to 80 to
217 points, December showing the slim gain, owing to pretically no interest
in that option, but the same month in New York led the list, due to the
facts that shorts experienced considerable difficulty in covering hedges,
brought about during the recent period when short selling was prohibited.
Tt was stated in these columns at that time that shorts would find it no
casy matter to even up their commitments when they attempted to do so.
Spot advices from all sections of the belt reflect the confidence of
holders of materially higher prices. Offerings are light, the sales repre
senting only Christmas selling on the part of the more or less weak holders.
Exporters are scouring the entire belt for good middling staple and a
good demand is reported for the lower grades, as well.

2 HOLIDAY TRADE HEAVY.
Clearings through the local national banks this week were more than
.@f‘.mm 000 in excess of the same week a year ago and more than $2.000.000
aliead of last week, indicating that local business houses re experiencing
the heaviest holiday trade in history. i
The week's clearings totaled $65,200,975.49, as compare dwi 56.-
947,2%0.83 the same week last year. . . ..
W I‘.ilo the week's gain over 1917 probably does not impress the public
as indicating that business is the greatest on record, nevertheless the
\l:'h-mrfnl amply is justified when ft is considered that the movement of
cotton is extremely small, owing to the holding of the staple by farmers and
b '“:?';‘- Wh’f"h dfl”.\.' Is holding clearings here down many millions. If

t Y- o J
John N. Willys, president of Wil
lys-Overiand Company, makes the
j prediction that automoblle demand
2 during the next two years will be
Q very large and that prices will not
come down rapidly. He says:
“The stocks of used cars are
cleaned up. Many people have
postponed cars they want and need
until they could be assured that
the driving of cars would not be
restricted. There is a pent-up de
§ mand that will take a long time to
fill. Besides, the uses of motor
% cars have multiplied, making the
$ normal requirements even greater
5 than before,
d “With the heavy demand plus the
! high price of materials and high
¢ wages, | see no chance of any con
} siderable change in prices rn the
{ near future,
S ‘““Material prices and wages are
) not likely to come down in a
i hurry. With the passing of the
first flurry of unsettiement of prices
which foilowed the signing of the
armistice there is now a noticeable
é steadying of the market."”"—Wall

E. F. Hutton & Co. says: “Sentiment is
strongly In favor of the market and this
may carry prices some higher, but the bulk
of the buying appears for speculative ac
count which makes the technical position
of the market rather unfavorable.' \
. @ . \
The Times-Picayune says: “The rather
larger showing of ginnings to Deeember 13
than expected, exerted very little effect
on the market Friday, 7Traders concluded
that the showing was in line with the Gov
ernment's recent estimate which promises
only a small increase in the yield over the
previous year, while the trade s confront.
ed with the practical certainty of a ma
terial Inérease 'n consumption.
“The strength of spots and the gain in
exports both present and prospective were
the main factors back of the strong under
tone that prevailed, Exports for the week
eccording to Secretary Hoster, were 161,219
bales as against 138,734 laust year. Last
year's exports are now ahead of this sea
son only 381,716 bales, aftgr having shown
a considerably larger difference.
“The removal of restrictions on trading
and the assertion of the laws of supply and
demand are rapidly having the effect of
broadening truding and even stimulating
speculntion. The big discounts shown by
the spring and summer months are at
tracting trade buying as well ng some spocs
ulative buying. There I 8 believed to be o
large Liverpool straddie short interest in
American markets which (s being gradunl.
ly transferred to the later MK'nthn It is
interesting to speculate as to iwhat may
happen later on when it comes to sottling
that straddle interest, with increasing ex
ports rapidly absorbing tenderable cotton,
and with the long end in these later
months held by the trade”

AND FINANCIAL
The First National Bank of Boston, in its business article, comments
as follows on general conditions:
The problem confronting the country is not one of resumption of in
dustrial activity, but of the transfer of activity to other lines. The plants
and other facilities are at hand, but new or changed equipment will be
necessary, and, of course, markets must be built up for the new products.
Some of the effects of the war will
be of a permanently favorable char-‘
acter, The public has been educated
as never before to the possibility and
advantage of saving; and to the ox-‘
istence of other means of saving than
through savings bank deposits, The
Government has issued an immense
amount of Liberty bonds, and will
make at least one more issue. These
bonds have been taken in small de
nominations by small investors, many
of whom never owned a security of
any kind before. It is reasonable to
assume that many of these will con
tinue to save, and to invest a portion
of their savings in bonds. This will
bring a change in the attitude of
these small investofs toward cbrpora- |
tions, and will do much to lessen the
present altogether artificial and un
warranted hostility between labor!
and capital. ‘
The first of our troops have re
turned from the European battle line,‘
and the movement will continue
steadily, though slowly, until all have
returned and have been mustered
out. These men will resume the nor
maJl occupations of peace, which will
mean a large increase in the supply
of labor, as compared with the ex
isting conditions. For some years to
come it is probable that immigra-'
tion will be greatly curtailed, The
countries of Furope have lost so

Iron and Steel Industry
Nearing Normal State
“After having been denied the experience
for more than a year, something like open
market conditions have returned to the
fron and steel industry during the past
week, says The Iron Trade Review. “Aa
yet it has been no more than a very mod
est beginning. Some sales have been made
at the reduced prices, but these have been
neither large nor numerous. Both buyers
and sellers apparently belleve it is a time
to move with the tide. The whole indus
try Ig engrossed in digesting completely the
changed situation, and is endeavoring to
formulate policies to meet & number of
important questions which quickly have
been brought to the front.
“In the wake of the new price announce
ment has come a flow of requests for can
collation and suspension of orders placed
at higher prices. An important question
up for study relates to the status of first
guarter contracts, especially for material
covering war or essential work, much of
which is eanceled. Had the Government
given official status to the reduction rec.
ommended by the producers and desired by
the latter, this tonnage manifestly would
have been entitled to revision'

great a percentage of their workers
that they will discourage emigration,
while the United States is likely to
enforce even more stringent regula
tions" in order to keep out foreign
labor. If this country is to increase
its production, therefore, it will have
to do so through increased efficiency,
either of the individual workers or of
machinery. There are indications
that the labor interests of the coun
try, in part at least, purpose to re
sist any reduction in wages, without
regard to the general conditions. It
is hardly believable, from the eco
nomic standpoint, that wages can be
maintained indefinitely at the level
brought about by the extreme short
age of labor due to the war.
As the men return from the serv
ice of the United States to normal in
dustrial activity, and the supply of
labor increases, the tendency of
wages will be downward, despite any
attempt to maintain them by artifi
cial means. Innumerable attempts
have been made to abrogate the law
of supply and demand, but with no
success. The workingmen wish to
maintain the present wage scale be
canse of the high cost of living, an
argument which has great force, and
an undoubted basis in fact. On the
other hand, the high cost of living is
ascribed with truth largely to the
high schedule of wages.

Gen. Motors Expected to
Make 100,000 Tractors Y.
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—The Du Ponts
are carrying out their policy of world
wide industry by planning a large expan
sion of the General Motors tractor busi
ness. A factory is now being bhullt at
Janesville, Wisconsin, to be completed early

corporation an output of 100,000 tractors
a year, including those produced in other
plants. Two new models have Just been
brought out known as “A" and D" The
first will cost SBOO and the second §s4so. If
General Motors develops a capacity of 100,
000 a year it will be able to take care of
n large share 6f the world's demands,
which from authoritative estimates will
within the next few years amount to pos
sibly 260,000 tractors annually

Secretary of Labor
Wilson Predicts
Big Trade Boom
{ Secretary of Labor Wilson pre
dicts that the country is facing
a great industrial boom. He says
that elimination of the over.
| time basis means that there will g
) be three Jobs hereafter where ‘
) only two existed during the war. I
| The 5000000 men In the army
s should drop back Into Industrial
2 pursuits without more than a
ripple of idleness. 2
Secretary Willson says: “There is §
every Indication now that in- (
; stead of an industrial and agri.
| cultural depression In 1919 and )
1920, the United States will en- ¢
) joy prosperity unlike any it has l
known before. Half of the civ-
Ilized world, depleted of its foods, g
its industrial equipment and Its 3
man power, turns to America to ¢
supply its enormous needs. And |
' In the filling of these orders it is
likely that Instead of an over. é
plus of labor In America there
may be a scarcity.” §

‘BUILDING 800 |
: I
1919, FAR BEHIND IN WORK:
7 9
(From Wall Street Journal.) .
‘ Building figures are always looked upon as forming an important
'husiuess barometer, and for that reason should be closely watched now. |
Bradstreet’s records show that 100 cities of the United States contemplate
‘expenditures in this line amounting to $473,000,0000, for factories, ware
houses, stores, office buildings, schools and dwellings. Some of this work
is to be begun at once, but, the greater part as soon as spring opens,
The Government will shortly enter the building field. According to
'the superviging architect of the Treasury ¢ontracts are to be placed for
{umr 100 Federal buildings. The entire cost of the work to be let out by
the Government will amount to $60,000,000, This should bring the total
to more than $530,000,000 of new buildings within the next few months.
‘The figures make a highly optimistic outlook, but one must not forget that
at best the estimates are tentative only,
Tentative, but highly probable if the taxpayers can stand it. If we
£0 back no further than the spring of this year the figures will show what
war has done in holding back the building business. The record for May.
‘Hilx, throws back to 1907, with this difference: In the later period the de
'mand was here, but steel and other materials were unavailable, and labor,
like steel, had but one mission—that of winning the war. The total build
[ ing in the ten months of war in 1918 amounted to less than $400,000,000.
Two years before, or in 1916, the year's building in the United States
amounted to over $1,000,000,000. This shows how, since we entered the
war, the work has been piled up waiting for the release of steel and other
materials, labor and capital. With the amount already in sight, an esti
mate of a demand for building in excess of 1916 would be conservative.
' The need is here, but it is pbvious that the work must depend upon avail
‘ability, or prices of labor and materials.
| But the barometer makes good reading at this time. It tells us that
th eindustry is anxious to absorb much skilled and unskilled labor when
it returns from war, It tells that an Important market for steel, lumber,
brick, cement and other articles will be open, and that the supply of them
will enlarge the field for other labor. Present prices for materials may be
considered too high: cost of living, now at its crest, will be an obstacle in
lowering the wage secale; but a wise readjustment of these questions should
let loose an immense amount of building business for 1919,

Community Bureaus to
.
Aid Soldiers Are Urged
The creation of a community employ
ment bureau to establish a medium be
tween Atlanta employers and the sol
diers being discharged dally from the
Nutional army is advocated by Commis
sioner of Labor Hal M, Ntanley as the
means of bringing employers and re
turning soldiers and sallors into touch
with each other.
For economic and soclological rensons
as well as in justice to the soldier bhoys
it is vital that the distribution of this
influx of healthy, hardened workers be
made without loss of time to the
branches of industry for which they are
best fitted, according to Mr. Stanley,
and the employment bureau plan s the
one logical way to go about the mattar,
Mr. Stanley sald he had recelved num
bers of letters from county and eity
offcials assuring him that they Intended
to take back their former employees,
but he says this practice, no matter how
general, would not solve the full prob.
lem, as there are boys from Maine to
Mexico and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific who have come to love Atlanta
during thelr training periods st camps
near the olty and who have decided to
make their homes here in the future,
Those boys must be cared for, he says,
and there s ample room for them in
Atlanta business and industrial life if
some method can be worked out to place
them (n the niches [or which they are
adapted,
