New York July 23.-The cotton market
was nervous and unsettled today with
prices selling off to nearly the lowest
point of July 3. The close was little
up from the lowest and steady, but final
prices showed a net loss of points.
Sales for the day were estimated at &c.
600 bales. The market opened barely
steady at a decline of to points in
response to lower cables. At first the
wet weather reported over Sunday check
ed general selling and prices ruled around
the initial figures. But there was scatter

pressure from local bears and prices

market broke sharply to 1917 for October

fears of further depression in European
financial markets was the prime cause
for the decline in the local market and
cables from Liverpool attributed the
weakness there to the same influence. At
the decline here there was enough COW

close, but there was comparatively lit

New York, July 23.-The stock market
here was slightly shaken by the develop
ments in Russia in common with the
worlds other securities market But re-
sistence was shown by the New York
markets and the effects had apparently
passed In the course of half an hour by
which time the confident absorption of
stocks had restored the level of prices
TO where they left off on Saturday The
determination of a market organization
to effect an upward movement in prices
manifested itself afterwards and opera
tions that appeared in the market such
as on Friday and Saturday were re-
sumed. The drift of events has been so
clearly foreshadowed up to the present
situation at least, that it is believed that
the financial and banking world has acted
with a view to the developments which
now occur.
The action of the foreign securities
market, however, seemed to threaten
serious consequences for a time today.
The special effect in the London market
is due to, the coming due on August next
of an installment of subscriptions to the
last Russian loan. The heavy discount
now ruling on the subscription points to
severe losses in the underwriting. The
forced manner of liquidation points to a
much smaller distribution of the loan
into investors hands than had been es-
timated at the time of the flotation. Lon
don's necessities induced considerable Sc
curities selling in this market today. 1t
also resulted in strong rebound for the
foreign exchange market which carried
the prices definitely away from the gold
import point. The Bank of England Sc
cured all the newly received gold in
the London market, but it was remarked
that New York put in new competition
for the supply which was secured at a
decline of a penny an ounce from the
price recently prevailing and which New
York paid last week.
1t was inferred that New York bankers
thus aequiesced in the necessity of the
London money market for additional sup
plies.
The Saturday statement of the banks
with its showing of 81 100000 cash in
crease may have had an influence on
this attitude, although it remains some

The acuteness of the Russian situation

rumors OF serious damage, but confirma-

most reports continue In the main favor

provement has taken place, entirely owing
to the prevalence of moisture.
The market is now beset with many in
fuences directly bearing upon future price
changes. The critical period of the grow
ing crop is al hand and on the character
of the weather for the next five or six
weeks will depend whether or not pres
ent prospects will have materially
changed. Then the watched-for develop
ments from the far east and the conse-
quent nervousness impaired to the mar
kets undertone and lastly the cessation
of demand for finished goods, are factors
to be reekoned with in forcasting the
tendency of market prices.
