uuhh,rd pror. & Co... Letter

New York. February 3.-(Special)-lt
would seem from the action Of the Eu-
ropean markets that portion at least of
the large business recently reported from
Manchester had been speculative buying
in anticipation OF a boom In business In
the distant east. This is reported to be
the reason for the selling In Liverpool
during the past two days by Manchester
spinners In answer to our inquiries we
are informed by cable that the news OF
the plague in China has had some effect
on Manchester.
The decline here has been due to the
large insight movement, the compare
lively smaller takings by the world'n
spinners and the liquidation by holders
disappointed at the continued free move-
ment.
Around 14lzc American spinners took
some shorts covered and some arbitrage
brokers covered. The traders have been
buying for a reaction all day. and ex-
poet it to come tomorrow in Liverpool.
though our late cablegrams are bearish
in tone. Liverpool should decline points
tomorrow, but which We do not think Il
will.

SPEECH CAUSES
MUCH COMMENT.

London, Nov. 2S.-The conccnsuS OF
opinion here today is that the senSa-
tioual speech delivered yesterday after
noon before the House OF Parliament
by Sir Edward Gray, secretary for for
cign affairs, indicates that Gray and
his anti.German associates are deter
mined to steer the Ship OF State in the
teeth OF liberal opinion.
There is general feeling Of resent
mcnt against the policy outlined by
Sir Edward which simply marShals the
nations OF Europe into hostile camps.
1t was significant that during Sir Ed
wards remarks on the Moroccan situa-
ton, the speaker was vigorously ap-
plaudcd by the Tories and that the
Liberals sat in frigid silence.
Berlin, Nov. 2S.-German public
opinion cannot see anything concilia-
tory in yesterdays speech by Foreign
Secretary Sir Edward Grey,of England,
on Anglo German politicians, hard as
the English press is trying to make ii
appear as having been 80 intended.
In official circles it is the unanimous
view that the speech had given 4 tre-
mendous impetus to the movement for
still larger German navy.
The evening press takes deeply
pessimstic view of the future. The
Voissche Zeitung says it fears the
speeches result will be the redoubllng
of their war preparations by all the
European powers.
