TRADE 111 MON UNUSUALLY URGE Liquidation and Public De mand Both Heavy. THE MOVEMENT SMALLER A Marked Improvement in the Prices of Stocks Dua Largely it is Believed to a Greater Ease of Tima Money (By the Associated Press.) New York, Nov. 21.—The undertone is steadier for forward deliveries of staple cottons this week. Otherwise the cot ton goods market is unchanged. De mand moderate, prices steady. Linens are firm with fair demand. Burlaps strong and advancing; light weights scarce. NEW YORK COTTON. New York, Nov. 21. —The cotton market opened 2 points lower to 1 point higher, and declined a point or two after the first call, cables being unsatisfactory and the weather map favorable. Sub sequently prices advanced 6 to 12 points on enormous buying following indica tions of a much smaller movement than had been estimated, with most encourag ing reports from the spot cotton mark ets of the South, tending to indicate a strong dbmaml ffom exporters and spin ners for spot cotton at advancing prices. Later in the day* it became apparent that tin* Southern spot markets had advanced 1 -IB to % <n almost every case. The highest prices of the session showed an advance of 3!t to 45 points since the market turned last Friday in the direc tion of recovery from the period of liquidation that had culminated then in a decline of about one cent. On this re action there was a disposition to secure profits by a considerable class of traders, who took advantage of the strong week end statistics .to unload. This selling produced a reaction that about absorbed the earlier advance. But while liquida tion was very heavy the public demand also was very heavy and the business for the day reached about 500,000 bales, this being the largest total of recent ac tive times. The market was finally steady at a net rise of 2 to a net decline of 3 points. According to Superintendent King the amount of cotton brought into for the week is 454,837 bales, against 420,594 last year. At one time estimates ran as high as 476,000 bales. At the same time the excess in the interior stocks and consolidated stocks is less than had been looked for. New York. Nov. 21.—Cotton futures open, ed steady. Cotton futures closed steidy. Open.

New Orleans, Nov. 21.—The demand for spot cotton continues good. Quotations unchanged. In contracts, notwithstanding the somewhat wide fluctuations in prices, there was steady and moderately heavy trading. The opening was 5 to 6 points down and under realizing sales a further loss of 2 to 3 points was noted, but under the influence of a sharp advance in Liverpool prices moved up briskly until a gain of 8 to 9 points had been scored. This was followed by a downward turn that sent figures off 5 to 6 points. Later frequent fluctuations occurred, the board at the close showing net losses of 2 points on November and 3 to 6 points on the other positions.

New York, Nov. 21.—The marked im provement shown by today's market was doubtless due in a great measure to the greater ease of time money. There was no apparent reduction in the rate, but the willingness of certain large bank inter ests to lend for long periods was ac cepted as proof that financial conditions hereabouts have once more been placed on a substantial foundation. There were indications also that the flow of money to interior points is at an end. Although another transfer was made to San Francisco, (his was more than offset by returns from Western and Southern points, and the preliminary statement of money movements show a material loss to the Sub-Treasury, with resultant gains to local banks. While much of to days business realV was in (he nature of short covering, there is little doubt that the solid interests were heavy buy ers. For the first time this week the movement in Manhattan was overshadow ed by that of another stock, namely, St. Paul. That stock, which was dealt in to the extent of over 106,000 shares, ad vanced to 180 and closed at that figure, making a net gain of 6% points. No plausible explanation for the rise was advanced other than that an early an nouncement of an extra stock issue, may be made. The opening was again irregu lar with Manhattan in the lead, though the other fractions were lower. St. Paul made early improvement and Louis ville and Nashville also was strong. The reported deal in Manhattan, which still lacks official confirmation, but is gen erally believed, doubtless exerted some influence on the buying side, although Manhattan moved irregularly throughout the day an<l secured a net loss of Wz points. The movement in the railway shares gathered greater force before the end of the first hour. St Paul, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific, Kansas- City Southern, Toledo, St. Louis and Western, and some more obscure issues, all making substantial improvement. In the indus trial group, Sugar, Amalgamated ( opper, Tennessee Coal and Iron, and United States realty issues .being the principal features. II was dear that the shorts were running to cover, ctpccinllv in Copper. The heaviness of Manhattan probably was due in part to profit-taking by one or more pools. The improvement shown during the morning session was more than sustained later, and with St. Paul si ill the leader the general list continued to move upward until at times the movement was almost buoyant. Buy ing of such stocks as St. I*anl, Louis ville and Nashville, some of the Pa cifies, Baltimore and Ohio. Pennsylvania, Reading, and Copper was reported to be of the best character and hoard room sentiment was more cheerful than for some days. The closing was very strong and active with prices very generally at the best. Sterling Exchange ex- THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, SATURDAY MORNING.

New York, Nov. 21. —According to New Orleans the total cotton in sight figures is now 330,000 bales over last year and 300,000 bales over two years ago. The crop two years ago showed a total of 10,430,000 bales at the end of the season and lakt year 700,000 bales. This would indicate anywhere from 10,750,000 lo 11,000,000 bales. When the movement falls very much below last year there is not likely to be much of an advance above B%e. in this city. The reaction to 5.27 this morning came quicker than expected. From the action of the mar ket there are more points of comparison with 1900 than any market seen last year. In that year there was a strong statisti cal position just as now on the one side and a larger crop than has been expect ed on the other. Between the two the market fluctuated in waves funning up three quarters of a cent atul back the same. The present market seems to be doing just that. Prices started up from 8.2:7, came within 9 p.oints of 7*J4c. and are now back to 5.23. We don't sec much in the situation at the moment to induce buying for a further advance and would take profits. The market should have a sharp break from this point as the recovery lias been very rapid. Shorts got under cover pretty well and any increase in pressuie would not leave much buying power, as the market is getting long again. On this advance we can expect more cotton lo be offered from the South and this will supply buying orders. Above 8.25 for Decem ber the South sells here just as it did before. Unless we get more of a de mand, this selling will halt the advance. We would wait for a break before buy ing again. .BARBEE & GO. Tarrant & King’s Cotton Letter. (Special to News and Observer.) New York. Nov. 21.—Spot cotton is the controlling influence in the speculative market now. and as the Southern markets arc firm and advancing we are not in clined to expect the violent reaction in futures which usually accompanies an i advance, and while there should be a i slight reaction after a quick rise of 40 points, we hardly think there will be I any decline of consequence and there ! fore, would rather buy on a recession 01 | eight or ten points than to sell on bulges. The market has been unduly depressed until a week ago and the sharp advanci of 40 points was perfectly natural. Our market, is still below the proper narllj with the spot market and we think March and May options will work up to where they were a month ago around 8 V - cents and much higher if receipts continue to run light of which there is every | indication.
