By VICTOR BARRON.
Influenced by strong Liverpool cables, extremely bullish spot news,
larger exports and bad weather in the western belt, the cotton market dis
played further strength at the start Thursday, with initial prices at New
L o York unchanged to'29 points higher. Trade houses and
o 9’“'»3;‘l' s Liverpool were the leading buyers on the opening. After
: 'j:é, 8% the call the list rallied toa net gain of 25 to 43 points,
v . =@ with Janvary rising to 37.15 and March 34.97. The dis
i ’;x‘ & count July is selling under January was increased to 530
.. ¥ points.
«%&« : During the late forenoon the market turned easier
c.‘m ‘@4 under resumption of active realizing and further short
. STF WRRE selling as the result of the ruhor that the National Gin
to 20 @ ners’ Association estimated the crop at 10,900,000 bales,
3‘*% or 200,000 bales more than.last year. The entire early
:« @8 advance was wiped out, with December reacting 40
f;_-'_{jj,;s, ® points from the high to 39.10. January dipped to 36.70,
RT o while March fell to, 34.48, May 32.60, July 31.,0 and
October to 28.75. ’
Fo TN Just before the noon hour amother upward movement
G was in progress, due to the strength of the security mar-
L | ket, less pressure and a report that the Southern Prod-
N i ucts Company of Dallas, Texas, estimateg the crop at
10,448,000 bales exclusive of*linters. Ring professionals
were against the market, and those bullishly inclined were disposed to await
the census ginning report, to be issued Monday, giving ginnings up to De
cember 1. The trade also was disposed to await the government crop esti
mate, which will be issued next Thursday.

- The market held comparatively
steady, in view of the continued ur
favorable coal news and political sit
uation here and abroad.
The weather map indicated unset
tled conditions over the belt, with
freezing temperatures in many sec
tions.
The census ginnings report will
compare with 7,577,826 bales ginned
prior to November 14 last and 9,571,- |
414 bales ginned to December 1, 1918,
9,713,529 bales to December 1, 1917,
10,352,031 to the same date in {916.‘
and 9,703,612 to the same date in 1915.
It is believed that this report will
further disclose the smallness of the
vield and that ginnings returns from
then on will show up, light, owing to
the rapid picking qnd ginning of the
crop during the last two months, |
The government’s crop estimate
will compare with 11,700,000 bales a
yvear ago, when the yield totaled
12,040,000 hales, exclusive of linters
—FEOO pound gross weight bales. The
estimate two years ago was 10,949,000
and 11,511,000, in 1916. The crop of
lint cotton in 191 7 totaled 11,248,000
bales and .in 1916, 11,363,915 bales. ;
It generally is believed that the
estimate will confirm small crop‘
ideast Even should the estimate be
11,600,000, it would be bullish, lnaa-‘
much as exports this season will
greatly surpass last year's outgo and
domestic consumption heavy, and that
the world is bare of both the raw
material and finished staple. The
world needs every bhale of cotton the
United States gfows this season. A
high estimate would be offset, to a
considerable degree, by the fact that
the crop will consist of the greatest
number of low grade bales in the last
quarter of a century. ‘

Phone Company Unable
To Supply Alabama
(By International News Service.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 4.—
The Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company is losing money
in Alabama because it i{s unable to
get telephones and supplies to meet
the ever-increasing demand, a finan
cial statement filed with the Public
Service Commission shows. The com
mission has under advisement the
petition of the corporation for per
mission to costinue in effect the
rates made by Postmaster General
Burleson while the congcern was in
charge of the government,
Birmingham needs 5,000 more tele

shown. The company has been un

NEW YORK, Dec. 4—The cotton
market opehed uncnanged to 29 points
higher on trade and Liverpool buy
ing. At the end of the first fifteen
minutes the market was active at a
net advance ‘of 256 to 43 points, but
later the list reacted about 20 points
under realizing.
The market lost the entire early
advance during the late forenoon on
increased realizing and smaller de
mand, due probably to a private crop
estimate of 10,900,000 bales, exclusive
of linters. The coal situation and
pelitical news also invited pressure.

% Hugh McElroy says: “Bulls had become
80 discouraged by the frequent attacks to
which they were subjected during the past
‘month that it is not surprising to find ‘
them eager to sell out when they saw a
profit” instead of a loss. There was profii
taking Wednesday by those who bought on
Monday, both of which account for the
reaction which has placed the market in
a very healthy position for further ad
vance. As we have already pointed out
the holders of December longs intend te
take up notices as tendered and there is no
danger of any weakening in this pesition.
For the same reason the late months,
which are selling at such an enormous dis
count, are a safe purchase.”
The Times-Picayune says: ‘““What may
be properly termed outside influences dom
inated the market Wednesday. These in
cluded the ‘increasing seriousness of the
coal situation with the announcement that
bunker coal will be denied foreign vosm-lsl
after December 5. This action will, it is
feared, restrict exports temporarily and, ‘
although this development would prove
bullish in Liverpcol, it would have the c‘on-‘
trary effect in American markets. The
other depressing influences were the fur
ther sensational bhreak in foreign gxchange,
particularly- sterling, the refusal of Ger
many to sign the peace protocol and the |
introduction of a resolution in Congress
calling for the severance of diplomatic re
lations with Mexico.
“Aside from these developments legiti- ‘
mate market factors were sustaining, par
ticularly the steadiness of Southern hput'
markets, the unfavorable weather in the
West and continued good exports.” ‘
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS,
Maury, Rogers and Auchincloss: ““We
expect frequent rallies on account of short
covering, but look for lower prices even
tually.”
* * @
Bond, M("Enn.nry & Co.: “As general con
ditions are not favoravle to bullish specu
lation the market is dependent upon trade
demand for its su‘sten.auc‘e."
S. M. Weld & Co.: “We think Wednes
day’s decline is a natural reaction after
the recent advance and are inclined to ad
vise buying on th.e w.ea.k. spots.”
J. W. Jay & Co.: “We 'anticipate a low
er market until l):e u.ltus;tlon clears.”
Bubliard Bros. & Co.: “Sentiment is by
no means.as optimistic of higher prices as
Nhas been the case during the last few
days.”
o« »
N, L. Carpenter & Co.: ‘There seems to
be still a considerable short interest in
December and while that lasts reactions
such as seen Wednesday will be very brief
and followed by upturns.

Moyse and Holmes: “Wednesday's de
cline is a natural reaction after the recent

EXPANSION CANNOT GO ON
UNDER THE GOLD STANDARD
The National City Bank, in its monthly letter, states that the endle:
cycle of wages and prices has come to an end, if the existing standar
23.22 grains of gold to the dollar, is to measure values. The bank says:
“There will be no revival of gold
mining unless mining costs decline,
1o extension of operations, no ex
ploration or prospecting. Exlstlng‘
mines which are rich enough to yield
a profit probably will be operated,
but production will continue to di
minish,
“The same influences which are
potent here are felt in all gold pro
cucing districts. In 1915 the gold
production of the world amounted to
$470,000,000 and in 1918 to $380,000,-
000. In some countries, however,
mining is done largely with native
labor, for which there is no strong
competitive demand, and costs have
not risen so much as in the United
States. Moreover, in some important
producing districts the producers are
now able to sell their product at a
premium over the coinage rate, as a
result of prevailing premiums on ex
change.
“The British government has re
lieved the mining companies of Scuth
Africa from the ‘cbligation imposed
upcn them during the war of con-’
signing* their gold to the Bank of
!England. and allows them to dlsposel

“We will get some additions to our

use them as the basis for further

when that time comes, the foundation

must be kept in mind that this coun

and sooner or later economic condi

Roads’ October
Net Profits
$11,000,000
Rallroads under federal control made a
net profit of $11,000,000 in October, al
though estimated figures showed only $2,-
000,000, the railroad administration an
nounces in a preliminary report.
This $9,000,000 discrepancy, the admin
istration explained, was due to the rein
statement of per diem charges on freight
cars and the coal strike which caused
coal traffic to be held in transit, and
earnings from these sources will be ine
cluded in the November totals.
The net operating income for the month
was about $86,000,000, but due to the
causes mentioned in the report, the in
come amounted to only $77,000,000. Op
eratin expenses were abnormally large be.
cause of the extraordinary shifting of
open top eguipment in order to furnish
the maximum number of coal cars, and to
large expenditures for maintenance of
equipment which was in need of repulr on
account of the strikes of shopmen.
For the ten months of this year the
railroads have shown 'a net loss of $269,-
768,168, but since July net gdinsg have been
reportod,
Freight sand passenger traffic showed an
increase over October, 1918,

1 FINANCIAL BUREAU ON STOCKS, |
‘ NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Attention i§ called
to the indifference of the market to dis
quieting news developments. Speculators,
‘huwever. are inclined to give heed to re
ports that a further liguidation must be
accomplished. It is claimed in some cir
cles that the stock market will improve
with easior monetary conditions. A large
amount of money was left unloaned yester
day, although offerings were made below
6 per cent rate. It is asserted by friends
of petroleum stocks that in some cases
they have been quoted materially below
actual prices at which large transactions
have been made. It still is rumored that
hnother payment is soon to be made on
Marine preferred om account of accumu
lated dividends.
| FINANCIAL NEWS,
A leading stock market authority says:
“My information is that Gulf States Steel,
selling about seventy, is in for a substan
tial advance. Three years ago the stock
sold at 196, The story I get is that there
{s likely to be a 20 point rise quick and
that a big Western steel company will
take over Gulf States Steel. It looks like
a safe, good buy at present figures." I

In a letter to stockholders under date
November 29 the Boone Oil Company re-‘
ports as of November 1 total capital as
sets $7,685,460 and total liabilities $3,1i8,~
000 of the total capital assets $6,480,465 is
represented by lands, royalties, leases and
stocks of subsidiary companies at market
prices and $1,105,000 represents bills re
celvable. The report estimates net earn
ings for year ending November 11, 1819,
on basis of currént receipts and expenses
at $187,000. During the coming year the
letter states production will be increased
by drilling and increased storage facilities
in Clairbourne Parish, La., where the lease
of the company and subsidiaries comprise
a holding of 2,600 acres. Drilling is to be
aontigued also in the Bull Bayou district,
where a well has recently been brought in,
It is suggested as possible that drilling on
the company's Columbian pmpert> 70,
000 acres will be undertaken as ‘soon as
transportation facilities become avallable.
Strength and activity In Endicott-John
son Is largely due to persistent active in
vestment absorption based on enormous
earnings and with rumors of a higher divi
dend rate, to say nothing of the eificiency
maintained due to the profit glnn of the
company. It is reported that the company
in the latter part of the curent year has
been rejecting orders, it being stated that
there is a demand of 30 per cent above
production capacity. The company has
branched out into retail stores and profits
are understood to have been large from
this source.
STOCK MARKET OPINIONS.
Clark, Childs & Co.: “The stock market
is not ready for a resumption of general
bullish operations. Technical conditions
affecting the market itseil suggest better
things momentarily, but with qualifying
reservation that for more than a day or
two it is impossible to lay a safe specula- '
tive course. On any strength copgera seem
a safe sale; oil stocks appear to have sus- |
tained their liguidation. Mexican lissues
are not attractive.” |

F. B. Kerr & Co.: “While we belleve |
the severity of liguidation has been ac
complished, we still believe it inadvisable |
to buy except moderately, carefully select

CRASH IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE
BULLISH CARD IN WALL ST.
By BROADAN WALL.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Foreign exchanges collapsed yesterday to new
records so low that for the first time they become a bullish argument on
the stock market. The result was good buying of stocks throughout the
list with material net gains showing in every department and. with the
final prices about the best of the day in many issues. A short interest of
importance exists in speculative issues and investment issues are being
bought freely under the influence of cheap money for renewals yesterday
were 6 per ent and money was offered at 5 1-2 late in the day. This is the
lowest money rate since the panic of November 12, when it went to 30 per
cent. December cotton sold at 40 cents a pound. This is the highestt price
since the Civil War.
Sterling broke to 3.87% and francs
to 10.32. Such figurea have not been
seen in a century and they are bull
ish on the stock market because
they mean that there is no present
bope of exporting commodities to
Europe from this country. Thege
fore,sthe warehouses that are gorg‘ed
with commeodities speculatively held
for foreign account must be cleaned
out. There is a home demand far in
excess of any possibility of being
gatisfied by these warehoused goods
or by all that can be manufactured.
But the release of all these goods will
tend to reduce prices and further
more it will reduce the rate of in
terest and cut down loans so that
the Federal Reserve Banks in all
parts of the country will be able to
make a better showing of reserves.
The bank reserves are too low now
to be comfortable, but with certainty
that they are to be improved money
will remain easy. The stock mar
ket has therefore only to look for
ward to about three weeks of nerv
ousness in the money market and
then the January 1 disbursements
will all be financed and there will
be funds enough for all the trading
the people want to do in the stock |
market.
Reports that the Corn Products
Company may” close down several
factcries for lack of fuel did not
startle the street, for whatever bear
ishness there was in this was coun
teracted by the bullishness in the
sweets markel. There will be an’
abundance of sugar in January and
February, but at such high prices
that syrups manufactured by the
Corn Products Company will be in
urgent demand. In fact, the coal
strike itself nas lost its influence as
a market factor, for reports from
Pittsburg yesterday stated that tha
nien were returning to work in sur
prisingly large numbers, contrary to
the wishes of the union officials.
They can Ao rhis bacause the unions
are enjoined from calling a strike
and can not discipline the men if they
violate the nation wide secret under
standing that seems to have been
entered into in regard to’the matter.
There has been very good selling of
marine stocks the last few days.
President Wilson's recommendation
that good roads be extended through
out the country had the effect of
putting Barrett up six points most
of which it heid to the close. Aniline
was also strong as a result of his
plead for ald for the chemical com
panies. His road talk was, of course,
largely instrumental in giving the
motor, road and oil stocks their up
ward movements. Texas Oil was the
strongost of all the petroleum issues,
being one time 10% points above
Tuesday's close. Of this advance, 9
points was held to the end of the day.
The report of the secretary of the
treasury gave the bears a little com
fcrt hecause it conveyed the idea that
the government would not participate
in any movement to stabilize inter
n¢ tional exchanges.
While the railroad stocks did not
advace, the buying in them was
good. and stocks like Union Pacifie,
Pernsylvania, Bt. Paul, Southern Pa
citic, New York Central and Great
Northern are being well taken on the
theory that the government program
in connectivon with the return of the
rcads to private ownership will be a
very liberal one.
