La -The market Saturday uai faiily active and lifter earing off during tho flrat hour owing to lower rablea than due and to ln creased crop opinion*, rallied In the aecond hour, recovering all the early loss and establishing net ft«ln« over Friday's rloae of nine to 13 points, moat of which waa retained to tha rloae, which allowed a small net gain tor the day. At the start the market eared off eleven points on all active months on the disappointing cables and continued to decline to 13 points down compared with Friday's close While prices reacted slightly near the end on real ising the close waa steady, showing net gains for the day of five to eight points. The early recession was due In large part to Increasing crop Ideas due to the government crop estimate and ginning* report Issued Friday and was also helped hy fears that a largo volume of notices for Deccniltcr de livery may he Issued. The advance attracted more or less trade buying and the firmer tone wns also helped by reports of a more urgent demand for spots In the In terior and limited spot offerings Exports for the day totalled 23,310 of which New Orleans cleared 20,- 611 bales.

A. LUFBURROW Market Editor, Liquidation and additional bearish sentiment brought about further re action in the cotton market .Saturday and on the clone !pot cotton at Au gii*ta waa quoted at 23.63. New York reported the South na u (teller in the market Saturday. Although the mar ket acta reactionary. buying on in advised. The underlying sentiment •eamt to be bullish. % —» ~ There will very probably be wit nessed in this country during the next three years great business strides. Uneasiness that has prevailed for more than a year in business has been banished and confidence has been restored With the corning of better business—a general revival— the cotton market will doubtless come In for its share of the good fortune, henco so much bullishness. Of course, t tils <l-,. s Rot I • no ;i ii * hat cotton will sell im high ns thirty cents or more, but It is some what of an assurance that prices will re main at a level where the economic farmer will be able to get a profit for his cotton. Giving their views on the cotton market, Ttrooks Hyman 6c Company, of New York, snys: Friday’s government report eon firmed the general # tMtlons of the trade hut the market was still speculatively long when the report was issued and further liquidation was encountered which caused a half-rent decline ••irlng th« trading. "After the report the sensational buying movement In stocks, bonds and nearly all commodities reflects the bouyant optimism In regard to the fu ture of business In general and In spirts of a thirteen-million-hale crop, which after all is not too big to he of immediate use considering the drastic curtailment of the pa*t year present cotton prices do not appear exces sive. “The liquidation of the ' past few days having given tho top-heavy technical position a chance, to recu perate the reports of good business in the cloth markets and the heavy ex porting movement of cotton can again exert, a bullish influence. We think cotton should he bought on any fur ther decline."

"The Census Bureau report cover ing the mouth of October revealed so Im-rense In mill consumption of 87.4.11 hale* over September, consumption during the month having reached 5.12,629 bales against 4.15,21 ft bale* In September. It. Is significant thAt the consuinntlon approxlinAted the Octo ber. 1828 consumption of 54!.825 bales, while the totAl for the three months of the cotton year beginning August 1 was hut 1.325.800 hales this year against 1.519,973 bales last year. “The decrease In domestic consump tion wa* offset by exports which to talled 1.982.207 bales for the three month* against 1.715.572 bales In the same quarterly period of 192". Stocks on hand In consuming establish ments October 31, reflected the increased confidence of manufacturers In the outlook, for they stood at*730.558 bales against 514.537 a month earlier; but they were still nearly 400.000 bales below the stocks held on October 31 last year. “The resistance encountered by the list around the basis «»f iff canta \ \ Pecember was surprising in vlsw »>f the buoyancy and enthusiasm In the security markets. Trading positions were liquidated and the South sold cotton frefly. while reports from the Southern *p<* markets Indicated sat isfaction on the part of the growers with the general average of about 15 cents for middling. , “The advance of $lO a bole last week nnd the ease with which prices receded ban with our sugges tion that cotton be bought on a scnle down and profits taken on bulges with a view to replacing the sold-out eon BT BKRT BALI, Dt.tlon.l Crop lnipmvvm.nl Senrlo.)

Before the turn of the year we espedt to see cotton in a higher trading zone and believe substantial profits will accrue to those who tkke a long-pull position on the current easy spots. "Itetallers and Jobbers In cotton cloths are showing more confidence in the business prospect and the hand-to-mouth policy of buying is gradually being abandoned. But. It must eiot be expected that the dis tributing trade will lay in any great stocks against a possible sustained expansion In business, for with the development of motor truck deliveries and the extension of good roads the retailer is in close touch with his Jobbers and need not worry about re plenishing sold-out numbers. At most, the average retailer needs only 24 or 48 hours to replace goods and this not only enables him to keep his stock in up-to-<Jate condition, ahd.reduce the carrying of unprofitable or slow-mov ing lines, put it make# it possible to carry a wider variety with a smaller total inventory than In past years. "With domestic spinners' takings increasing, the export figures also are holding up, with the result that world spinners’ takings are currently run ning ahead of the corresponding weeks *>f last year and have now pass ed the 1923 figures for the rotton year to dote. “With the weight of tho crop pass ing and the uncertainty of Its size re moved, the statistical position is the important constructive factor at this time and this is showing such con sistent Improvement that stronger foundations are being built daily un der the market. The sluggishness with which this registers on the. price structure, however, due to the cau tlotis attitude of domestic consumers and the willingness of growers to con sider 25 cents for middling as suf ficiently attractive to dissipate plans for holding. With the fr»*? market ing 4.n the advances the balance is steadily being to the bull ■lde Of the market, and While con tinuing to nrcumtilntc rotton on re set lons, we would now he slow to take further profit! on advances unless they carried well above the basis of 25 cents for December."
