LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

A good-sized order for gas tours was
filed at the meeting today of the stock
exchange, but without exhausting the
supply at the selling price. which was

One broker did the bulk of the buying
and apparently was filing an order, for
when he finished there was no further
demand, although there We're still bonds
for sale and at the current price.
Attention was attracted to this buying,
partly on account of the rather large pur-
chases of what are looked upon as high
priced bonds and partly because it APP
peared to be a continuation of the exc
cution of somewhat similar orders during
the past few days which has advanced
the price OF the bonds five or six points.
In this connection it was noted today
that the 6 per cent certificates of the COM

NEW YORK, January 1J.-Stocks dis
played much more strength this morning
Than had been expected by tho Wall
street community. The output Of mar
gin calls last night was enormous. but
the response as it turned out was liberal
and cheerful. There was more disposi-
ton on the part of commission house
customers to put up money than to close
out their accounts.
There was, however, a large quantity
of stock for sale at the opening which
represented not only renewed bearish
pressure, but real liquidation of the same
sort as has been in progress all week.
The carly dealings, though, betrayed the
extension of excellent support in many
quarters of the list, and, while marked
weakness appeared in a few issues. the
general tone was firm, and early in the
first hour an all-around rally developed.
The most conSpicuouSly weak feature
of the standard active list was American
Smelling, but 1t, too, rallied with con-
siderable vigor- The only specially to
develop hollowness was Westinghouse
Electric.
Some readiness to begin taking stocks
on q scaledown was noticed in the COM
mission houses. The market has had a
pronounced setback, the most extensive
american Smelling, have declined more
than ten points from their recent high
levels. The market as a whole shows
an active loss of seven to nine points.
Weeks Sales Absorbed.
The way in which the weeks sales
have been absorbed indicates the prob
ability that stocks which a fortnight
ago were rather weakly held have pass
ed into much stronger hands. At the
prevailing rates of dividends the divi-
dend-paying list shows a yield averag-
ing per cent OF better, and this yieId
is more likely than was the case a few
weeks since to look attractive to in
vestors In comparison with the prospec-
tive rates for money.
Money Is unQuestfonably accumulat-
ing fast at this center and money mar
ket conditions bespeak ease in the near
future. At the same time the very
heavy flow OF money from the interior
10 this city does not indicate intense In
dustrial and business activity, and, judg-
ing from the authoritative trade re-
views, somewhat Irregular but on the
whole normal conditions obtain in bust-
ness.
At the moment, however. the situation
is not one Of expansion. This is testified
to by the continuing surplus of idle
freight cars.

BIG SLUMP IN COTTON
WORST IN ITS HISTORY
Prices at New Orleans Crumble
From Seven to Eleven Points
at a Time.

NEW ORLEANS, January 15.-One Of
the worst slumps III the history Of the
cotton future trading was recorded yes
ferday afternoon. Prices of the old crop
deliveries broke soon after the lunch
hour in a most sensational manner, and
within a very short time were 100 to 1.16
points down from the high levels of the
DAY. loss OF about $3.50 a bale.
Within less than half an hours trad
ing there was break of GO points, and
quotations crumbled away as registered
On the sales board. from to II points at
time. Almost three cents a pound, or
Sis bale, lower than the highest levels
of the season, We're the prices estab-
lished.
The cause of the break was generally
regarded as without explanation. Large
traders. including prominent southern
bulls, who recently went to New York,
hGve been talking very bullishly.
Powerful Bear Clique.
1t is known, however. that a power
full bear clique has trained its guns on
this bull faction.
The decline started In New York and
followed a period of quiet trading. in
which the market had taken on a steady
lone. a fact which led the bulls to be-
iieve that liquidation from their side
was about over.
Suddenly the selling started and in a
few minutes time the market was in a
state OF semi-panic, with long cotton
being thrown overheard by the thousands
of bales
In the last half hour Of trading the
decline was checked by profit-takins by
the bears. They bought heavily, and
the result was a reaction of about IN
points. or $50 a bale
