New York, November f6,-The cot
ton market opened barely steady at a
decline of Z to 9 points and increased
the loss to a matter of 10 to y points
right after the call under stop loss
selling, bear pressure and scattering
liquidation, which was due to lower
Liverpool cables, unfavorable trade
reports, rumors that December shorts
are getting cotton in the south and
the more aggressive attitude of some
of the local bears. Trading was quite
active at the start but became less So
at the decline, and during the middle
Of the morning fluctuations were rath-
er irregular, with the uRdertone nerv-
Gus and unsettled. The market closed

inspired the current premium. This
also given an opportunity to the
speculative shorts 10 circulate n story
that some thousands OF bales were be
ing shipped back To New York from
Liverpool to cover contracts. This
report however. met 4 speedy death
t1roush the action OF foreign spin
ners in taking every available bale OF
spot cotton in the Liverpool market
on the very day after the reshipment
story was started.
The latest mons Mr.. Prices inter-
estinC moves in the hope of induc-
ing the Southern to aid him to
get cotton to New York for the pur-
pose OF covering the short contracts
of his pool. Is 6 widely advertised orer
10 deliver currency to the south in ex-
change for cotton. AS his offer Is
good only W To 80 per cent. OF the
selling price Of the cotton. and as ne
announced that the prevailing New
YORK premium or currency. now rang
ing aruHna ! per cent, will have 10 be
paid by the cotton shippers. such Il
move IS by no means benevolent on
Mr.. Prices part. 1t also shows how
badly Mr.. Price wants to get cotton
here for December delivery.
The entire situation as regards De
cember cotton. has resolved itself
into q struggle between the Price pool
on the one side and the tremendous
bona ffte demand for the actual cot
ton on h other. This demand resist
ed all the ideas Of the men in the bear
pool AMI now. satisfied hat the cotton
on their contracts IS required for
spinning and exporting. Price and his
associates appear To realize that their
only chance Of aNerting tremendous
losses or their transactions lies in n
complete breakdown Of the entire
holding movement. thus forcing the
growers TO sell their crop at Tiiicul-
ously low prices
1t was not long ago that Mr.. Price
was speaking d~isparagingly of what
he termed the New York paper on
tracts Now that he is heavily short
of these paper contracts" he is sur
Drised to find that the delivery of act
ual cotton not only is wanted but is
demanded on them.
If the holding movement Is main
tanned at its present strength the Price
bear pool may he compelled to pay
the growers the price to which they
are entitled. II is the chance of the
Southern growers to make them paY

made wide declines on comparatively
light transactions. When this was
completed there was d vigorous recoV-
cry. The market was dull. owing
partly to the fact that the DaRk
statement was not to be published
until after the expiration Of the
stock market session. Foreign mar
kets showed some renewed p%erturba-
ton over the extent Of the gold with
drawals for New York and the pr
vate discount rates advanced both at
London and Berlin. The London
stock market reported SEINE apprehen-
sion Of a further rise in the official
discount rate of the BaRk of England
early next week, Notwithstanding the
strong position which the bank has
been able to secure during the week
as a result of the ! per cent. discount
rate in force. The demand for cur
rency in New York was quiet today
and the premium showed a declining
tendency as an effect of the constantly
arriving supplies Of gold.
The bank statement must be accept
ed as evidence of the uninterrupted
drain Of cash cut OF New York to the
interior which the heavy arrivals OF
imported gold proved Inadequate TO
meet. The premium on currency to-
day was not higher than 1 l. per
cent, and a fact considered Of even
greater significance was hat the pre-
MUM on gold to arrive next week
practically disappeared, no bids being
made for it.

"SHORTS" ATTACK HOLD
ING MOVEMENT.

New York, November 6.-Pressure
Of the most pronounced sort Is being
brought TO bear upon the cotton
OF the south to break up
their holding movement and thus
bring into the cotton market such a
mass of the staple as will enable the
enormous speculative short interest IN
this city to depress prices, so that the
bears can cfose out their market gam
bles by shifting their losses upon the
growers of the south.
AS December draws near and the
members of the big bear pool are con-
fronted with the possibility of paying
prices at present ruling in the south.
