New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, February 16-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at the decline. g to 10 points down. The fear that the Scott bill would pass the Senate was the one big feature in the early trading and 1t caused heavy liquidation of long cot ton and stimulated short selling. July broke down to the 14-cent level, which was Ii points under yesterdays close. May was sent to 13.SSc or 13 points down and March lost 9 points at 13. Soc. All of these were new low prices for this year. Trailing shorts began to take
 profits heavily on the decline and their buying caused a sharp reaction to with in 1 to 2 points of yesterdays close on the old crop months at the end of the first half hour of trading. October lost 10 points and recovered of them. The new crops were not as steady as the old. Teegrams from both New York and Washington around the middle of the morning expressed the conviction that the Scott bill would not pass the Sem ate because of strong pressure being broug,it upon members to vote against 1t and these messages had an immediate effect on prices. The old-crop months were sent up until they were to points over yesterdays close. The new crop months displayed no strength. owing to light rains in Texas over night and pros

|STOCKS TAKE A
 '.' SHARP REACTION
Caused By Liquidation and
 Uncertain Future
THE STREET IN DOUBT
Change in Control of Missouri Pa ciffic Cause Feverish Action. Banking Interests Fail to
 Support Market

New York, February 16.-After. a period of several weeks in which stocks advanced steadily in value, there came sharp reaction today. Losses were general with many declines of 2 or more points among the important is- sues. Liquidation of long stocks in- mediate future, doubtless was the pri- mary cause of the reaction
 The possibility that the supreme court on reconvening next Monday may 0ake known decisions in important antitrust cases which have been hang ing over the market for many months restrained bull operators from making fresh commitments and undoubtedly was responsible to some extent for the extensive liquidation which character ized the day.
 The day was one of opportunity for bear operators who had met with little success for weeks and they did their full part to force prices downward
 Banking interests which are sup posed to have been committed to the bull side since the first of the year showed no disposition to support the market today and when this became apparent pressure was renewed. The Hill stocks which had been compara- lively strong, yielded and the Hartman issues showed the effect of a sharp at- tack
 A report in the last hour of the seri- ous illness of a powerful financier though quickly denied was used as an Aff ina ri the market closed weak at almost the lowest prices of the day.
 Wall street was in doubt as how to interpret the change in control of Missouri Pacific as was shown by the feverish action of that stock. Shortly after the opening 1t sold al a point above yesterdays closing. but quickly lost 1t strength and closed with a net less of 2as. Larger offerings of the stock, while doubtless due in part to profit taking, lent color to assertions that inside selling of the Gould stocks was in progress.
 , The future attitude of the hitherto dominant interests in Missouri Pacific toward the market was the subject of much conjecture which embraced the theory that there might be open liquf- dation of their large holdings, since sentimental reasons for their retention no longer exist.
 Reductions in the British bank rate from 4 to 1-3 per cent was without favorable effect, such action apparently having been discounted in this market The banks proportion of reserves to liabilities shows only a fractional de- cline from the previous week, but the loan expansion was in excess of $5,000,- 900. Advices from London told of Rus sias belligerent attitude toward China and caused some .disquietude inathe Eu- 4-1 fof January exports and imports pointed to |, a further rectification of our foreign credit position. Exports increased more 4 than 350,000,o00 compared with January of last year and imports decreased slightly. the balance in our favor being $66,777,O0O as against $10791,111 last year.

 In the afternoon session the market was steady and shorts were inclined to cover. In the trading up to o'clock the old crop months rose to level to 10 points over yesterdays close. The new crops at their highest were un- changed to 1 point down compared with yesterdays close.
 The market closed steady, unchanged to Il points up, compared with yester- days close.

New York, February 16.-The coffee market opened steady at a decline or l to points under bear pressure and liqui- dation following the big advance Of yes terday, which was not fully reflected Tn the European cables Offerings were wei absorbed around the initial figures, anu while local sentiment was rot inclined to take an entirely bullish view of yester- days reports concerning the formation of new bull clique to hold large amount of coffee for higher prices, self CTS were not so aggressive as recently.
