tlnually applied, were the reasons for
the decline. 1t was the argument on
the bear side that long downward re-
action was in order and that the mar
ket still contained large and unwieldH
long interest. The liquidation of the
week proved that the market did hold
an interest that was not strong enough
to stand punishment of rather an ordi-
nary character
+. Bears expected to see break In spots
as the future market neared the l2 cent
level but they were disappointed In this.
Spots held we'll throughout the south,
In the future market, the owners sus=
tanning no less when they let it GO
The softness of stock markets in this
country and the unfavorabe turn taken
by the Balkan situation worked against
cotton At times during the week oper-
ators in stocks were said to have been
heavy sellers of cotton. Very little sup
port was offered the market by bulls at
any time and the downward movement
of prices was checked by the desire nf
short sellers for profits, At the end of
the week the market held a considerable
sealpng short interest.
In the spot department prices lost ~,

COTTON MARKET
WEAK YESTERDAY
Most of Premium Gained
Friday Is Lost-Net
Decline

New York. January 1S.-Today's cotton
market was weak and unsettled. with jan
uary losing most of the additional prem
inm 1t had gained yesterday and with the
general list closing easy at net decline
of from to 16 points
The market opened steady at decline
of TO points IN response to somewhat
lower cables lhan expected. The failnre
of Liverpool to respond to the local
strength of Friday appeared TO make cor
siderable impression ON sentiment and the
market almost Immediately developed
weakness as a result of liquidation by re.
cent buyers and renewal of bear pre-
sure. The fact that January led the de.
cline under selling, which added to tie
leading spot interest, no doubt encoura vad
bear operations, and the market closed
within a point ar ITO of the lowest. Ru-
mors that Increased shipments of cotton
We're heading in this direction from the
south particularly added to the hearish-
ness of sentiment, and the January
premium over March was reduced from
8. points at the close last night to about
IS points during todays trading. There
was a little buying here supposed TO be
for the account OF German spinners, but
houses with southern connections were
considerable sellers. while there was a
good dead of pressure from Wall street
sources. and ,he bulk of demand seemed
TO be in the waysof realizing by old shorts
Liverpool cables said the market there
was quiet and steady but showed some
uneasiness over weakness In the Egyptian
stocks. Sales of print cloths at Fall river
for the week were estimated at 1lnto9
pieces. compared with f75.m0 the same
week last year.

MARKETS ARE DULL
ANDFEATURELESS
Prices Decline, Cables I'm
changed and Adyices
Without Color

chica go, January ts.-The Board Of
Trade markets were today featureless
and dull This is the customary week
end situation. Prices declined. Cables
were unchanged from Liverpool and
adtices generally were without color.
Stories were circulated that the best
known of the private crop experts was
preparing a bullish report on wheat.
This aided prices Until the prognoeti
Gator published formal denial There
was another report that one of the
most influential traders was huving
wheat and this was formally denied.
but not until it had caused slisht
upward furry.
In general the pit followed any i'm
portant buying and selling orders and
In the absence of either did nothing.
Primary receipts for the week were
larger than a week ago the gain COM
ing from the southwest. Northwest rc-
ceipts decreased R little. Weakness in
corn was based on reports that down.
town state points were selling at con-
cessions. This could not be met here.
There was an evaporation of the ex-
port demand. Cash corn declined re.
Important longs were the best sellers
and while those who took Ii check ed
the decline, they found themselves well
supplied when the session closed The
dullness in oats was profound 1t was
heavy in sympathy with corn. provi-
slons closed 5s down on a steady bull
market Packers bought moderately
from domestic traders. The western
hog run for the week was 49sso0 head
as against $4,000 The previous week
and T0S.900 a year ago.

That the settlement of the Balkan
trouble would ease the monetary sit
uation and improve the tone of the
market was shown yesterday by a
hardening tendency on the presenta-
ton of the powers note to the porte
and uneonfirmed rumors of the fall of
Adrianople. Meanwhile attempts at
borrowing by the belligerent states
mere and on the continent even at high
rate of interest are without success
The feature of the week is the slump
in National Telephone stock which fell
from 141 to 100 after the announce
ment of the decision of the railway and
canal commission awarding the COM
pany $62,576,s20 for its system, which
passed into government control On
January l. Marconi shares were also
weak on the select committees report
on the governments contract with the
company and fears of competition The
American section was depressed by the
fall in the price of copper and fears of
tariff legislation and although trading
was quiet throughout the week, the
market closed at losses ranging from
l to points.

FLUCTUATIONS IN
STOCKS UNCERTAIN
Offers Better Resistance to
Pressure-No Indica-
ton of Strength

New York. January 1S.-Before the
movement of stocks became accelerated
today the fluctuations were uncertain. n
better lone prevailed There was no re-
currence of the periods of acute weakness
which smothered prices during the week
TO the lowest level since the fall of 1911.
improvements were largely negative.
While the market offered better resist
anee to pressure, it gave no Indication of
sustained strength.
Prices moved upward after the opening,
but the advance was interrupted by re-
newal of bear selling. The attack was
less successful than similar tactics earlier
in the week, and near the end the list ad-
yaneed briskly General movements were
narrow. Some Of the specialties which
have been depressed recently made sui
stantial gains. Further shifting of loans
from out-of-town banks to institutions
here Was chiefly responsible for the In
crease of more than S69e00,o00 in loans
week. It was reflected In the bank state
ment. Actual details showed a loan in
crease of s3,000,ot0. Cash gain of Sl5,OON,-
600 was in line with expectations.
Although satisfactory gains in business
ever the corresponding period of last year
were reported by the Mercantile agency
concerns. it was ncted the coming revision
81 the tariff was responsible for feeling
of conservatism. Large sales of copper
were reported ard it was said that the
cut in price of the metal had stimulated
the. market at least temporarily. An cn-
gagement of small amount of gold for
expectation to South America was with
out effect upon the money market in is
present condition. Shipments to South
America in connection with settlement of
European obligations are not unusual at
this time of year.
Bonds were irregular and quiet. Total
sales, par value, ss30,000. Bonds of the

New Orleans, January 18.-Cotton fu-

be lacking in exposed spots. Buying
came principally from sellers of the
