COTTON NERVOUS
AND UNSETTLED
The Close Is Easy and at
Net Decline of Is to %
Points

New York, February 15.--Todayts
cotton market was nervous and un-
settled owing to continued realizing or
liquidation and more aggressive sell
ing by local or southern bear oper-
ators. The close was easy at net
decline of 1s to 23 points.
The market opened barely steady at
a decline OF 10 to 10 points in response
to lower cables than expected.
Offerings were relatively heavy but
they were we'll absorbed at the start
and prices rallied 4 to 5 points from
the lowest on covering Of shorts for
over the week end, and support from
leading trade interests Buying seemed
to be limited, however, and as soon as
the demand from realizing shorts be-
came less active prices developed re-
newed weakness under continued SELL
ing for both sides. AS the market
worked down a number OF stop orders
were uncovered and there was sharp
break in the late trading on rumors
that the spot situation was much cas-
Ter. There were predictions that the
liquidating movement would extend
from futures to the southern markets
for spot. Closing prices were at prae-
of the bigger longs were supposed to
be among the heaviest sellers, both
yesterday and again today, and there
was considerable selling here through
houses with southern connections. A
Memphis telegram claimed holders OF
spot had given their brokers orders
to sell at the market price. This may
have increased the bearishness of local
sentiment to some extent, The Mexican
news was considered more favorable,
but there appeared to be no improves
ment in the Balkan situation and pri-
vate cables from Liverpool reported
heavy continental selling in that mar
ket as well as of slack demand Week.
ly reviews of Che dry goods trade were
considered encouraging, particularly
with reference to business among the
western distributors and the early
trade buying here was accompanied by
reports that spinners were becoming
interested in the market around 111ks
for October contracts.

ADVANCE IS MORE
THAN WIPED OUT
Market Closed Weak at
Prices Ranging From /
Friday to 3-Sc Down

\ Chicago. February 15.-Possibility, of
rain or snow tempted wheat owners
today to try and realize profits. In
consequence a fresh advance was more
than wiped out and the market closed
weak at prices ranging from last
nights level to 2. down.
Corn finished Is &C to sc off, oats
at decline of 4 a asc to sc and pro-
visions varying from unchanged to a
rise OF 121se.
Purchasing of wheat was quite brisk
Tor while so much SO that many of the
shorts were forced to cover.
Dry weather in the American wheat
crop belt and lack of snow protection
in Russia gave most of the courage to
the bulls.
Nebraska reports told of the ground
being cracked and in bad condition
for seed to stand freeze Moreover
the forecast indicated no moisture be-
tween now and Monday on the other
hand leading experts declared that
fall sown wheat was dormant from
December to March. and that fears re-
garding the plant were premature.
In addition, receipts at primary points
were liberal and rain had visited the
Punjaub. Despite alleged scarcity of
forage southwest corn eased off with
wheat and because of limited shipping
demand, more than 5000 cars of corn
were reported as being held back from
elevators here by blockade on the
belt line. Selected investors lifted oats
a trifle, but subsequently, the mark et
was slow to absorb the offerings Pro-
visions averaged higher throughout the
day. Most of the impetus came from
an advance at the yards.
Future quotations were as follows:

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. February 15.-Cotton fu-
lures opened steady at decline of to
10 points on sensationally poor cables,
which private advices said were due to
heavy selling by spot houses.
There was a decided tendency in the
market here to take profits ON the slumps
by shorts This kept the tone fairly
steady. but did not bring about reac-
tion from the initial decline in the early
dealings.
The weather over the cotton region was
called bearish as no rain was reported
and the prospects for sunday appeared
to be for continued bright weather and
somewhat higher temperatures. At the
end of the first half-hour of business
prices were II points under Fridays quo
tations.
The market became very active around
the middle of the morning and selling
became general Weak longs let go Much
bearlsh comment was caused by the small
mill takings this week and this feature
appeared to be the real basis for the
agressiveness of bearish traders. But af-
ter buying of covers by satisfied shorts
the market would have had little support

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, February 15.-(Speclal)--
Yesterday and today we have recru-
descence of the bearish feeling which has
been so marked feature OF the cotton
market the entire season. In fact, it has
only been a large demand on account OF
the enormous world wide trade in cotton
goods which has advanced the market
Every once in a while the bearish feeling
shows itself in heavy short selling. such
as has been in progress In all of the mar
kets during the past week. This was
again In evidence during the session, ac-
eompanied by some liquidation for the
long account, caused a decline OF 20 points
from the closing price of last evening.
Wall street houses predict a further de-
cline before the beginning OF March, de-
spite the large consumption which slowly
absorb these short sales.
Large sales TO China are reported by

RAILROAD STOCKS
SELL OFF SHARPLY
Developments in Brewing
Firemen's Strike in the
East Responsible

New York, February 15.-Railroad
stocks sold off sharply in the last five
minutes of trading today, after it was
made known that representatives of the
firemen on the eastern railroads had re-
1ected arbitration on the terms proposed
by the railway managers. Previous to this
time the movement had been narrow and
unimportant with a heavy tone at inter-
walls.
Lack of definite information from Mex
leo and concerning the prospects for a
strike of fremen had restricted specula-
tion to small proportions. There was no
pronounced selling pressure until the final
drive and as bear operators seemed in no
haste to cover, the market was dull.
Pennsylvania was one of the conspicu-
ously weak issues selling down to 11s, the
lowest since 1908.
1t was influenced not only by fears of
a strike, but by the reiteration of uncon-
firmed reports which have been circulated
recently to the effect that large block
of the roads treasury stock will be sold.
The total unissued capital stock. which is
free to be offered to stockholders, is
$50 932, 600.
Although It was reported that leading
selling interests had fixed their price of
refined copper for future delivery at Is
cents, the copper stocks did not reflect
the weakness of the metal market. They
showed strength at times, owing presum-
ably to covering.
No pronounced changes in the money
situation were indicated by the bank
statement, which was q. marked improve
ment over last weeks. The actual table
showed only nominal cash loss, 5000 900,
and there was a small gain in excess re-
serves.
The weekly trade reviews We're fairly
optimistic. Despite cross currents in
trade and disquieting events in various
parts of the world it was asserted that
conservative expansion of business con-
tinues.

selling accentuated the decline, while
money and the congestion of new issues,
which total around $3.50, 600 since the
first of the year, had dismal effect on
gilt edged securities, consols falling 4
point but recovering BIG later. Amer
ican securities felt the full effect of the
trouble in Mexico and continental liquida-
ton and prices fell from to points, but
closed steadier eand about a point above
the lowest. The money market expects
no relief from the present stringency
pending the completion of the tax coli
leotions and O better outlook in the near
east. In the meantime discount rates re-

among the parcels with which Edgar
r. Philips, rural carrier of the local
postoffice, set out on his route
Although sent by parcel post the babies
were first-class mail. Phillips says, and
good and quiet.
SO all went we'll until the carrier was
passing through a clump of woods
There. with a savage screech, a Wild
cat attacked Phillips and his human par
cells.
The babies added their frightened cries.
; For lack of a better weapon Phillips
welded the wooden leg so Justify that the
wildcat soon made use Of his own and
fed. lmping into the wiIds. The leg was
slightly scratched by the wildcats claws,
and the babies we're a little hoarse but
the women to whom they were addressed
accepted them without complaint.
