Relatively easy Liverpool cables pre-
coded the realizing movement here, and
first prices were one to four points
lower. There was some buying by
houses with German connections as well
as further covering of shorts and moder-
ate support from local bulls. but after
some early irregularity, prices gradually
sagged off with active months selling
about eight to ten points net lower late
In the morning. Reviews of the domestic
goods trade indicated fair demand for
immediate shipment at full prices, but
a poor demand for forward shipments.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS. November 15.-Liqui-
dation of the long interest over the week
end weighed against prices in the cot
ton market today. No real weakness
was brought about and the decline was
general. Bears were not aggressive and
made no effort to take the advantage the
offering from the long side gave them,
feature was the rumor that a promi-
nent private bureau was out with pre-
iiminary estimate of the amount of cot
ton ginned up to November Is of TO-
335. coo bales. This was considered bull
ish, as 1t was in line with the predic-
lions of less conservative bulls, but 1t
caused no fresh buying of consequence.
The market opened steady, l point up

was favorable no rains being reported.
but the outlook was for unsettled weather
over Sunday. Private cable messages from
Liverpool said that the market there
had been depressed by hedge selling. Sell
ing out by buyers of the earlier part of
the week was the deciding influence and
prices fell off until toward noon they

Trading was unimportant during the
early part of the week. Wednesday and
Thursday there were many reports that
picking and ginning were nearing com
pletion. which the bulls accepted as proof
of their small crop claims. On the re-
ports the market did better. Friday a
material advance was caused by the
monthly report on consumption and
Hester's weekly statement on mill TAX
ings. The figures on consumption in this
country of 542, 500 bales during October.
against $4,000 the same month last year,
We're accepted as one Of the most bullish
developments thus far this season.

NEW YORK, November 15.-The highly

this week reflected a continuance of the
uncertainty which has been felt for some
time past as to the outlook. The great
questions confronting the financial world.

The stock market, nevertheless, showed
definite Improvement on the week. It
benefited from the hopes of settlement of
the Mexican problem without military
Intervention such as would withdraw gold
from Europe and upset the money mar

In all markets there were indications OF

Lessened Fears of Tariff.

Laying off Of steel workers indicated
that the recession in that trade was still
in progress. Firmer German steel mar

price concessions were announced by
domestic producers. Weakness OF re-

Awaits Mexican Developments.

There was a general disposition to
await developments in regard to Mexican
affairs over the week end and business
was restricted by this consideration. The
day was barren of news with an influence
on market values, with the exception oil

good showing. There was an actual

The recent Improvement in the position of
