COTTON INVESTMENT SAFE
v "' 'if?'
New York, Dec. 10 Trading In cot
ton this week has bcn very limited,
and the resulting range of price ex
tremely Harrow. The most Important
development Was removal of all
restrictions In the way of delivering
cotton on December contract, which
action was deenjed wise by the Board
of Manager. It is felt ,that while a
motion to discourage any effort on
the part of those short of the mar
ket to bring cotton to New York was
perfectly understandable during the
period when the exchange was closed,
now that normal conditions had been
restored, the situation was hardly the
same. Uncertainty over the quantity
of December contracts still uncover
ed for foreign account led the Board
to rescind its previous motion, in tho
fear that some shorts might wait un
til it was too late to get cotton here
for delivery, and something in the
nature of a squeeze might develop.
This, of course, led many holders
of December to liquidate, and prices
have again been carried below the 7c
level. This decline in the nearer po
sitions carried distant months off, es
tablishing new low, records all along
the line. But, it ii evident that every
decline meets general buying orders,
and, at the moment, the South is not
inclined to seTTendngh cotton to bring
about weakness. From a basis of 8c
for October, there seems to be many
thousands of bales wanted on every
five point decline, so that the market
is in rather a deadlocked condition.
Considerable selling has been done
by the South, by houses that had been
taking up near positions and putting
out hedges in distant months.
When it is recalled that March cot
ton sold at about 8 l-2c during the
last big crop season three years ago,
with the world's economic structure
intact, and general trade going on
along normal fines, it is perfectly easy
to understand why the investment de
mand for say, October at 8c is not ex
actly aggressive, with the crop the
largest, probably, on record and the
world's cotton industry demoralized.
It is thought that forced selling from
the South will bring about a some
what lower level, which will probably
attract more general business, as spe
culators will buy contracts to carry
them for one, two or three years, if
necessary.
We still believe in purchases for
investment on any decline below the
present level.

NITROGEN PLANT
San Francisco, Dec. 10. If the
search for. a suitable site for a hydro
electric plant site now under way is
successful, an entirely new industry
that will call for the investment of
$500,000 "will be established in Cali
fornia. The industry is the manu
facture of nitrogen compounds; such
as ammonia and nitrates, by the
electric process. This i3 something
new in the United States, but is a dem
onstrated success in Norway.
The production of nitrogen com
pounds, commercially, from the inert
nitrogen of the air, is something of
recent years. In Norway at the pres
ent time apout 2,000,000 horsepower
of energy is used for this purpose
