relatively ateady cables.. but quickly eased

RAPID FLUCTUATIONS IN
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
Prices Go Both Above and Be
low Monday's Close and Re
cord Net Decline of 35 Points.
New Orleans. Nov. 11 Kapid fluctuations,
both above and below the level of yester
day's close resulted In cotton today from
conflicting Influences. Depressing tha mar
ket' were hedge Bailing and liquidation from
the long side while at periods, a good
demand was stimulated by much talk of the
great change for the better in the export
outlqok. Late In the session, buyers of the
morning tried to liquidate and they found
little demand with the result that the low
est levels of the day were reached where
prices atood at net declines of 66 to 15
points. The close, was 35 to 51 points off,
net.
Around the opening the market advanced
15 to 45 points on the telegram from
Chairman Bnruch. of the war Industries
board, atating that ne waa in aympamy
with the movement to' remove reatrlctlona
.kiAK r nnw wnrltlne aa-alnst tne ex
nortatlon of cotton. This Improvement j
brought out considerable realising from ti.e
long side and a bresk ensued on which
the active months Anally reached a level 25
to 34 points under yesteVday'a close. From
this, there was a recovery and a rise until
the most active months were 30 to 70 points
over yesterday's final quotations. This buy
ing movement was caused by reports of more
ships headed for gulf ports, and the stste
ment thet the current allotment of cotton
for Spain had been Increased by 116,000
bales The gain was not maintained because
of renewed aclling.

They do not see yet st.l'is' v-hat price

the meantime the uncerta'nty is an obvious
factor. As for the Immediate future of the
