FURTHER SHARP
 BREAK IN COTTON
Prices Carried About S5 Per
 Bale Under High Records of Wednesday

New York. February 16.-There was a further sharp break in the cotton market today. which carried prices about $o per bale under the high records of last Wednesday, and while there was a rally of something like 20 points in the later trading. the improvement was not :ully sustained with the close easy at a net decline of from to. Il points,
 The market opened barely steady a. a decline of to 10 points in response to lower Liverpool cables, reiterated reports of a threatened labor situation in the British coal mines and talk of increased southern offerings There was active GOV ering by recent sellers around the initial figures and the market worked up a few points in consequence, but met increased offerings on the advance and during the early afternoon showed almost sensation al weakness under heavy general selling for other accounts.
 Stop orders were uncovered on scale down and before the decline was checked May contracts sold to 1O.02c and July at To- 010c. or 21 to g points net lower, while March contracts broke below the 10 cent level and touched 9.s6c on reports from New Orleans that for the first time since the beginning of the year spots were selling on a tenterable business. Cover ing and support from trade sourses caused sharp rally from these figures, with May selling up to 1o.22c and July to 10.3oc but last prices were 10 to Il points of from the best.
 There was heav southern selling herf during the day, which, however, seemed to come from the large centers, such as New Orleans or Memphis As officially reported. the southern markets were gen orally lsc lower for the day and have shown declines of about 14c to ssc for tht past few days, compared with break O over iRc in futures. The week end fig ures were considered about a stand-o' and local sentiment as rule sill ap peared too much concerned with the tech nical position of near months to pa, much attention to routine news.

TRADING IN STOCKS
 EXTREMELY LIGHT
Usual Leaders Constituted Over Half of Total
 Output

New York, February 16.-The stock market today differed in no important particular from that of the preceding days of the week. Trading was extremely light and the usual leaders-Steel. Union Pacific and Reading-constituted much . more than half of the total output.
 The undertone, saving for brief period of underlying strength soon after the opening, was inclined to heavfness. all the speculative favorites selling under yesterdays low level. Pressure was di- rected against the coalers from the out set, the liquidation in Reading being as cribed in part to the statement of the anthracite coal operators, which throws little light on the forthcoming agreement with the mine workers.
 There was persistent selling of Steel which was supposed to emanate from prominent spectators who were said to have based their operations upon trade conditions and the Harrimans, which were a feature of strength the previous day, evineed some heaviness with the other active issues.
 The early rise in the coppers, the most conspicuous features of the week, was the more or less natural result of an- other advance in Rio Tintos abroad, and was accompanied by rumors of fur ther advance in the price of the metal in this market. The street, however, has shown little inclination to trail along with the interests, which are assumed 10 be back of the movement in the copper shares.
 ,fti, at noteworthy change except for certain srecialties, including American Tobacco, which reeeded almost { points. Various other speeialties made early material gains, but these were lost in whole or in part before the end of the session, at which time prices generally were with in fraction of the low.
 London was little more than a mere locker OH here. selling some Steel and Union Pacific and buying moderately oi Amalgamated Copper London and the continent. however, were factors in the financing of American and other issues The British metropolis. in conjunction with Paris and this city. has arranged for the Notation of loan of s45000, 00t by the city of Tokio. which will he used towards the purchase of public util- ties. while Paris was negotiating for a renewal of the s12. 2.O0o0 coo Lake Shore notes placed there a year ago.
 Forecasts indicate few changes of i'm portance a result of the weeks move ment in cash. It is likely that a slight gain may accrue to the banks, while the loan account Is as usual a matter of conjecture. Ease of money all over the country continues. but the recent de mand for bonds. due in 8 measure tc this accumulation, has fiattened out.
 The bond market followed the lead o stocks in that it was dull and irregular Total sales, par value, 2.050.00O. United States government bonds were unchanged on call.
